The Doctor and The Surgeon

The Recovery

What happened to me was brutal. Even for my parents. I've been home for a few days. The doctor said not to do anything athletic. I have to wear a brace to keep my back straight because of my broken rib. Mom says that even though I got hurt, we're all recovering. I won't be going to school for the next week. I'm sitting on my bed. My computer sits on a pillow in my lap. Mom comes in.

"Sweety, I brought you a little something." She says.

She hands me a cup of Starbucks Coffee.

"Thanks mom." I say.

"I have to go to the store real quick. Want me to pick anything up for you?" She asks.

"No I'm good. I'll text you if I change my mind." I respond.

"Okay. I'll be back in a little bit." She leaves the room, closing the door behind her.

I take a sip to figure out what kind of Starbucks it is. It's a hot chocolate. It burns my tongue. I put it down and open my computer. I look at my emails. I find an email titled password confirmation. I click on it. I find a link attached. I open the link, it takes me to an odd website. The website is titled Double Dates Online Dating. I click around until I find a profile. It says Welcome Ebony Frost! I quickly close my laptop. I finish my drink and go downstairs. Aunt Anna is standing in front of the fridge looking for something to eat. I stand in the archway of the kitchen. I look at Aunt Anna, the room starts to spin.

"Hey Ebony, want some lunch?" She turns around to face me. "Ebony. Are you okay?"

"I don't thi-" I start to say.

I start to go down. Aunt Anna runs to me. I hit my head on the tile flooring. Anna scoops me up.

"Ebony! Jack, get down here quick!" Anna yells.

I blackout. I wake up being pushed quickly down a hall. I realize I'm in a hospital. My dad is in his scrubs. My heart is beating in my ear. The doctors are yelling back and forth to each other. I only hear mumbling. I blackout again.
