My eyes flicker open and are immediately blinded by the bright lights in the room. I try to open them again, this time a little slower than before. I look down and see that I'm covered in white sheets. Strange, i don't own any white sheets. Then, the memory of me flying off Cam hits me and I lift up the sheet to reveal a bright blue cast that goes all the way up to my hip. How in the world do they expect me to walk in this thing?! I think as i glance to my left and see a wheelchair and a pair of crutches. Just then the door opens, revealing my dad carrying a boquet of beautiful lilies- My mom and I's favorite flower. He hugs me muttering how he was so worried and starts rolling on with the typical questions- "Do you feel okay?", "Do you need me to get anything?", "Should I call a doctor in?", and the questions continue. I answer with "no"s and "yes"s, until he seems about satisfied. My dad walked over to the door when Lindsay bursted in the room, almost knocking him. I smile as she hands me a stuffed animal of a horse that looks almost exactly like Cam. Lindsay then takes me into a bear hug, almost suffocating me.
"Oh, Elise I was so scared for you!" She cries, not letting go. I hear her continue talking about how I passed out from the pain and how the ambulence came. Lindsay then went on about her going in the woods to retrieve Cam, and finding him in the exact same spot with a scared look on his face. I laughed thinking about my scaredy-cat of a horse all alone in the woods for the fifteen minutes we were gone. We stop our light convorsation when the door opens again to reveal the doctor.
"Hey Elise! How's it going?" he said cheerfully.
"Okay I guess.." I replied blandly. I was not looking foward to the news he was about to present. Based on what Lindsay told me about my accident, it seemed like I would be in the cast for a while. Which means I wouldn't be able to ride. I cringed at the thoguht of not being able to ride Cam, my little baby.
"Um," he cleared his throat, snapping me out of my dreary trance of missing Cam."Based on the x-rays, which show breaks in two places, it seems as though you could be in the cast for 3-5 weeks, and even then you would still not be able to do any activity for a while."
My mouth dropped. This could not be happening.
"Maybe you could join a club at school or something like that." My dad suggested. I shrugged, too mentally exhausted to come up with a sarcastic response.
"Yeah, and don't worry I can help you out with carrying your school stuff and helping you around. Also, I can totally ride Cam for you when you are out of the saddle!" Lindsay suggested with a perkiness in her voice that annoyed me.
"Uh-huh" I nodded weakly, unable to comprehend what was happening to me right now. Riding was my life. Without it I felt like I had nothing.
I was preparing myself for the worst when I finally drifted off into a dreamless sleep.

Sorry still no romance yet... I am just writing these chapters before to give you kind of a situation so you can really expirience Elise for yourselves before she gets into the whole romance aspect... I just need a little time to get used to the whole writing expirience. New chapter is coming in a few minutes where you will hopefully meet more charcters besides Elise, Lindsay, and her Father.
