"Hey baby." I stood on my tip toes and wrapped my arms around his strong neck. I pulled him close to kiss his sweet lips and to my shock, he pulled away.
"Kendall stop. Please, sit down." He extracted himself from my arms and sat down on his couch. I remained standing, a continuously sinking pit forming itself in my stomach.
"Why? What's going on?"
"Look. It's not you, it's m-"
"Do not give me the 'It's not you, it's me' speech. Do not patronize me Ricky." Tears started to form and my vision blurred as my cheeks grew hot.
"We're not compatible. I'm sorry. Maybe it was never meant to work..." His voice trailed off as his phone buzzed.
"It's Carla isn't it?"
"What?" He looked up at me, his brown eyes piercing mine. I grabbed his phone off the coffee table and flipped through his messages. What I saw made me want to throw up.
Hey BB! Kisses! Hugz!

WOW! Ur still w/ tht drag? Impossible. Txt me wen u want sum real fun. Kisses! -Carla
"Really? Her?" I threw his phone on the ground and stumbled backwards as the tears blinded me.
"Kendall. Please listen." His voice sounded desperate, pleading.
I turned and ran out the front door. Outside it was cold, way to cold for July. I walked blindly, tears free falling down my cheeks. I heard a party pounding somewhere in the distance and I walked away from the music. Ricky's voice called out to me nearby. Shaking my head, I took off running. Crossing the street, I bright light filled my view and the sound of screeching tires filled the air.
Bringing my arms up, I felt myself get knocked back. For a second it felt like flying. Hitting the ground, a sharp pain hit me and everything went black.

"Kendall. Kendall can you here me?" A far away voice called out to me through the black haze. I struggled to open my eyes but something was holding them together. "Kendall just relax. We're taking you to the hospital right now. Is there anyone we can call?'
I shook my head slowly. everything hurt and I was incredibly sore. All my bones felt broken. Somewhere in the back round, I heard a siren blaring. It hurt my head listening to it.
"Hospital?"
"Yeah. You got hit by a car. Are you okay? Don't fall asleep on me though. You are most definitely concussed."
I nodded and just listened to the ambulance driver talk to the attendant and nodding whenever he asked me if I was awake. We got to the hospital pretty fast and the attendant stayed with me as they wheeled me through the emergency wing of the hospital.
They settled me in a bed and applied wet gauze to my face, wiping off everything on my face in slow, soft strokes. Immediately I was able to open my eyes. All the lights were way to bright and painful. I winced and closed them immediately. I heard a soft chuckle and wondered who it could be.
"Hi. I'm Doctor Geraldy. You're Kendall?' I nodded slowly and tried moving my left arm. Immediately a sharp pain shot up my arm and I cried out in pain. "Oh my. You broke your wrist. Please be careful. Well the total amount of damage is that you have a minor cut on your forehead and a broken wrist. Other than that, it's just a few bruises and scrapes. You're very lucky young lady. This could have been much worse. Now lets see what we can do to fix that cut."
