"SAGE! Oh my!," her mom runs towards her and kneels on the ground in front of her. She picks her up and sets her down on her lap then moving Sage's hair to the side of her face. Mrs. Archer is frantic praying that her beloved daughter is okay.
"Sage? Sage! Wake up darling, please." Mrs. Archer reaches in her pants pocket for her phone to call her husband. Her hands her shaking rapidly and she drops the phone. She picks it up and calls her husbamd
"Phillip, she fell down and she isn't waking up!," she yells into the phone, not giving him a chance to say hello.
"What? Who fell down? Honey slow down.. breathe."
"Sage! She fell off the playground. I'm going to take her to the doctors right now. What if she has a severe concussion?!"
"Honey- woah. Sage is a strong girl, I'm sure she will be ok. I'm on my way."

"Mrs. Archer?," a doctor asks in the waiting room. Mrs. Archer sits up from her seat and raises her hand."Yes- uh- sir. That's me. How is Sage?" After she asks that question, the doctors face isn't so pleasant.
"She's fine- she's well. Follow me," the doctor leads her into the room where she finds Sage sitting on a seat. Mrs. Archer runs to Sage for a tight hug, but the doctor ruins it.
"You see, Sage has a pretty bad head concussion. We uh- did some tests on her like if she could see clearly or if she was seeing some things as those are some side effects to head concussions. Sage told the nurses that she feels like throwing up and Sage passed out. Now she's ok now, but I'm sure the side effects won't last long. Vomiting and fatigue shouldn't last a lifetime. When you get home, just make sure she gets plenty of sleep, ok?"
Mrs. Archer nods her head. "Of course I will."

Mrs. Archer exits out of the room, into the waiting area where she finds her husband standing there worriedly."She's fine, she just needs some rest. Let's go home," she tells him. He wraps his arm around her and smiled and walked out the door.
"I told you Sage was a strong girl, right Sage?," he turns to look at her and she starts jumping up and down with joy.
"I'm not just strong, I'm brave, too! I climbed up the high ladder on the playground!," Sage giggles.
"Yeah, but that's what caused you to go to the doctor sweetie. Don't ever do that again, ok?," Mrs. Archer makes sure to protect Sage at all times now.
"Yes mommy. I'm sorry."
"I love you Sage."
"I love you, too mommy. Oh and daddy, too," her dad looks left and right to cross the parking lot road and starts to chuckle.
"I love you, too Sa-."
SCREECH. CRASH.
"PHILLIP!!!," Meredith screams. Her face collapses as she watches her husband fly with the car.
"Daddy!," Sage starts to cry and hug her mom.
