Unexpected surprise

Chapter 4

"BREAKFAST!" This was a tradition at the Brown household. Every Sunday Mrs. Brown would arrange a feast for breakfast! And call her husband, Brooklyn, and even the dog Tucker down to eat. This morning Mrs. Brown prepared chocolate chip pancakes with fresh fruits and orange juice. "Mhm delicious mom," Brooklyn said as she stuffed her face with syrup covered pancakes.
"How's your 'vacation' going?"
"Bob! This is not a vacation our daughter got expelled!"
"Potato Pot-a-toe."
"Bob!"
"Haha dad it's going great."
"Brookie.."
"Mom I hate it when u call me that!"
"I gave birth to you I get to call you whatever I want. Anyways as I was saying miss Campbell signed you and Jackson to do community service around the neighborhood."
"But."
"No buts now get ready you two will be picking up trash."
"Alright." Brooklyn went upstairs to change.

"Alright you two. You guys will be picking up trash in the forest behind the park."
"Okay mom."
"Jackson your mom will pick you two up in a couple of hours."
"Okay Mrs.Brown."
Brooklyn and Jackson headed into the forest. They hadn't talked since last week you think they would be used to it by 7 years. They both split up going in different directions. An hour had passed and not even a fourth of the trash was picked up.
"AHHHHHH!" Brooklyn screamed.
"Brooklyn!" Jackson replied from the other side. She didn't respond. "Brooklyn are you okay? Where are you?!"
"Jackson!" You could hear the fear in her voice.
"I'm coming don't worry!"
"Brooklyn what happened?"
"There was a pile of leaves and.. And I was walking..."
"Calm down breath."
"I was walking and I tripped and this." Brooklyn took her hand off her other arm which had a huge cut and blood everywhere.
"Brooklyn!"
"Yeah... The glass cut me."
"Okay stop crying I'll get you to a hospital."
"We didn't drive here and there's no service I tried...tried texting my mom early to see how long we had to be here."
"Great." Jackson took off his white shirt and wrapped it around the humongous cut. "The best thing we can do is apply pressure to it. Here I'll help you get up. Can you walk?"
"Yes Jackson." Jackson put his arm around her waist and they both headed out the forest. "I'll try calling my mom... Hello. Ah great voice mail. Maybe your mom will pick up Brooklyn, I'll give her a call. Voicemail again gosh darnit... Hey according to google maps the nearest hospital is only a five minute walk. Let's go." They both headed to the hospital.
"Jackson? Is everything spinning for you too?"
"No!"
"Oh it's just me okay."
"You've had to much blood loss you shouldn't be walking."
"But we're almost there." Without letting her finish Jackson bent his knees picked her legs and back and carried her bridal style to the hospital. Brooklyn had closed her eyes.
An hour later the doctor came out of the operation room. "Are you the mom?" The doctor asked.
"Yes and this is my husband, her father, and this young man is her friend who brought her here. Tell me is she okay?"
"Yes 18 stitches later and a little blood back in her system she is all good and ready to go home I just need you to fill out some paperwork if you two would come with me." The doctor took the Browns to the front desk. Mean while Jackson looked through the crack to Brooklyn's room. He looked around to make sure no one was watching and walked in.
"Hey Jackson."
"Hey."
"Thank for bringing me to the hospital and not letting me bleed to death."
"See I kinda wanna get un expelled so I can continue playing football and go to a nice college. And you dying probably wouldn't help me. And I kind of want to know who got me... Us... in trouble. See if that wasn't the reason... Yeah the forest would've been your new friend."
"Yeahhhh that's the only reason okayyyy.... You are right-"
"When am I not right?"
"I can name a few times." Jackson rolled his eyes. "Like I was saying yeah we definitely need to find out who and why someone did this." Brooklyn parents walked in. "Brookie are you alright?"
"Yes mom I am fine!"
"Good now come on let's go home." They all headed home. As the night fell Brooklyn was laying in her bed staring at her nerf gun. As for Jackson a nerf gun was in his sight as well.
