Thoughtless

Chapter 13

Vanessa's POV

I just dropped 15 feet. I should be dead. I deserve to die. I shouldn't have been by myself. I knew something was gonna happen but I pushed that thought away. You shouldn't always be so brave. Bravery gets you in trouble sometimes.

I walked along the rode with Riker by my side. No words. Just walking. What's there to say? Oh thank you for catching me form being pushed out of a tree by some person that's trying to kill me and hang my guts on their wall.

When we made it back to the house it was even more quiet than outside. My parents were on the couch watching CSI: Miami. Laura was in the music room. Don't know who carried her. Rydel was making a video with Ellington I think they were playing Five Nights At Freddy's. Rocky and Maia were looking at some destinations for mom and dad's honeymoon. Ross was talking to his girlfriend on Skype.

Me? Well I'm standing here. Waiting for the right moment to tell them I almost died. Nothing new. nothing new. Tomorrow we have school and I have no idea how we're gonna pull off Laura's leg situation. This needs to be dealt with now.

Riker went to go and get Laura, I'm gonna deal with the others.

We managed to force them all down to the cave. Remember that room downstairs on the underground level that no parents are allowed. Yeah, that room. We managed to force them all down there. Well we didn't really have to force Laura, she can't go anywhere.

"Look, we all know we don't wanna see each other's faces, but tomorrow we have things and things have turned into mush. It's like taking a bullet to the foot you can't do anything-" I said.

"Enough with the shot in the leg jokes!" Laura yelled.

We all slightly chuckled before going back to serious. Wow, that moment we all laughed together. Lasted only a few seconds but it felt good, really good.

"How are we gonna fix you Laura?" I asked.

"You can't, I googled it. I'm like this for another 6 weeks." Laura said pulling out her song writing book.

I grabbed her book and threw it to the side of her. I pulled her by the arms and made her stand up. She stood up straight for a good 1.4 seconds. She instantly fell backwards which just happened to be on Ross's lap.

A small smirk spread across my face before I wiped it off my face remembering what we were here for.

"Just, get her crutches." Luna said sitting on Riker's lap.

"Okay, but what do we say when people ask what happen?" I asked her.

"Well, say she twisted her ankle shopping in her heels. The bags weighed her back and she twisted her ankle." She replied.

"Where do you find time to think of this kind of thing?" Rocky asked.

"I have a lot of free time, remember I can barely move" She muttered.

"You can at least move your leg and walk! I can't Luna! Your so ungrateful!" Laura started yelling.

It was a really big mistake putting these people in a room together. We just really need time away from each other. I should've brought them in here. I could have talked to Laura by myself. I just really wanted to see us all in the same room together.

"Okay, I think it's time we all leave. We figured out Laura's leg. We can go now." Ellington said standing up and leaving.

Rydel followed him. Then Rocky and Maia, Ross and then Riker. Laura sat on the couch and pulled out her song writing book. She looked at me and gave me a sympathetic look.
