The Technicolor Phase

Part 21-Valentine's Day

[Anna's POV]

Today is Valentine's Day. I wore the outfit I got yesterday, which is a white skirt, a red blouse and knee high boots. I tied my hair in a ponytail the best I could. Putting up Curly hair is a hassle. I put on a light coat of make-up and walked out of the bathroom. I found Adam wearing a red shirt, black shorts and tennis shoes, sitting on the couch eating a ice cream sandwich.

"Hey Adam. Wait a minute..... Did you find a new box in the freezer?" I asked

"Yes. Why?"

"they were supposed to be a surprise!!!" I exclaimed

"Oops." Adam said with his mouthful

I laughed,walked over to Adam and took the half eaten ice cream sandwich out of his hands. He got up and chased me around the living room till I accidentally dropped the ice cream sandwich on the floor and slipped on it. Adam jumped over me in attempt to not fall over. He did but landed on my right wrist instead, I screamed and he got off my wrist, bent down and took a look at it which was swollen and it hurt to move it.

"Did I break your wrist?"

"You must have because I feel light headed and it hurts like crazy" I replied a little angry

He looked at me with a sad expression. he helped me up and had me sit on the couch. I rested my broken wrist in my left hand. Tears rolled down my cheeks. Adam came back with his car keys. I got up and followed him to the car. We got in and Adam helped me buckle up. He planted a kiss on my forehead, he started the car and we drove to the hospital.

We arrived at the hospital a few minutes later. The Doctor showed us to a waiting room. We waited a few hours then a nurse came. We followed her to a room.

"Does that hurt?" She asked while poking it with a stick like thing

"Yes it does" I said through gritted teeth

"Let's go get a X-Ray so I can see where I need to put the cast"

We followed her to a X-Ray room. Adam closed the door behind us and I set my arm on a table. The nurse grabbed the X-Ray machine and placed it a few feet above my wrist, Adam and the nurse left the room and turned the lights off. The X-Ray machine made a beeping noise then the lights came back on and they entered the room. We followed the nurse back to the room that we were in earlier, there was a awkward silence that settled in the room. I found Adam staring at the wall. The nurse was looking through sheets of paper on her clip board, and I was just sitting there humming a song that me and Adam knew. He started singing:

In Christ alone, my hope is found

He is my light, my strength, my song;

this Cornerstone, this solid Ground,

firm through the fiercest drought and storm.

What heights of love, what depths of peace,

when fears are stilled, when striving cease!

My Comforter, my All in All,

here in the love of Christ I stand.

He came over and held my hand, not the broken one. The nurse was staring at us with a shocked expression on her face. She was startled when a knock on the door came and a doctor came in with the X-rays. They said that my scapoid, lunate, and trapezium is broken. The doctor got out a white glove that didn't have the top to it. I had my hand pointing up and my elbow was resting on the table. He slid the glove over my wrist, he had to move my broken bones a little so he could get it on. I winced, Adam held my hand and i squeezed as hard as i could when it hurt. After the white glove was on the doctor asked what color i wanted. I told him blue, he brought out blue tape i think and got it wet then started rapping it around the glove.
