Everybody Knows

Chap 1

Dedicated to @franlouises who told me to continue with this story because she likes it and because you sound like an amazing girl.

Lilianne's POV

I remember everything and how it transpired. I was coming out of my drama club meeting. Me being the president of the club and lead role for our school play I was obligated to go. The meeting finished at five thirty. Saying my good-byes, I hurriedly exited the school and head to the parking lot. I saw Zander our school's star player exiting the soccer field. He was to busy texting that he didn't notice the oncoming car. It was as if everything went by in slow motion. the black SUV couldn't stop speeding and when Zander noticed it was too late. It was a gruesome sight as Zander'a body when flying in the air and landed on the cement floor with a thud. His legs all twisted making it look like a pretzel. Blood seeping from his head wound. It's as if he was transforming into a different creature but stopped in mid process. I dropped my purse and quickly ran to Zander's motionless body. I took hold of his wrist trying find a pulse but all I could find was a faint one. I started givin him mouth to mouth and since I couldn't get him to breathe I called 911.

911 Operator: "911, what is your emergency."

Lilianne:" hello, um.. a school mate just got hit by a car his legs are broken, his breathing is shallow and he is bleeding profusely."

911 Operator: "Ma'm tell me street you are on."

Lilianne: "We're on 412 Pamona road."

911 Operator: "An ambulance is on it's way just continue giving the man CPR."

Lilianne: "Thank you."

I hung up and continued giving Zander CPR like the operator had instructed. In my head I'm having a panic attack but on the outside I appeared strong. I heard the sirens nearing to where I was kneeling on the ground. The ambulance came to a halt and two paramedics quickly exited the the back with a gurney and a medical kit.

Paramedic 1: "Quick get him oxygen, he is not breathing much."

Paramedic 2: "He is losing too much blood, we need to get him too the hospital now."

The paramedics quickly moved Zander onto the a gurney and put a neck brace on him.

Paramedic 1: " Would you like to come?"

Lilianne: "Umm.. sure."

I ran to get my purse and hopped inside the ambulance. The paramedics were hooking Zander up to IV's and monitors. I sat there looking at Zander's pale face and all I kept thinking was, if he is going to make it. My inner emotions were starting to mke their way out and next thing you know I'm a sobbing mess. I kept sending silent prayers to God asking him to spare Zander's life because he is a good person despite what everyone make him out to be. Zander's apperance was all ruined with the blood on his face, bruises and scratches. His usaul apperance were he stood at six feet tall, with dark brown hair, hazel eyes that immediately capture your attention, nicely tanned skin from being outside all the time and his perfectly toned body from all his sports. Now he as he laid on the gurney he looked more like a corpse. The ambulance kept speeding and in no time we were at the hospital. Both paramedics rushed out with the gurney and I slowly walked behind them and straight into the waiting room. Sitting in the uncomfortable waiting room chairs felt like heaven compared to what Zander is going to have to endure. The only object keeping me from totally insane is the clock hung aboce the waiting room entrance. And for a split second I could of sworn that time stopped and stood still.

I kept staring at the clock as if in a trance or somehow trying rewind time and prevent Zander from getting injured. I snapped out of my stupor when the doctor repeatedly waved his hand in front of my face. His scrubs covered in blood didn't help to calm my nerves down.

Doctor: "Hello my name is Doctor Penza, I was in charge of your friends surgery."'

Lilianne: "How is he doing Dr. Penza?"

Dr. Penza: "To be honest Mr. Segovia is in bad condition.'

Lilianne: "What is his condition?"

Dr.Penza: "Mr.Segovia is going to be okay, but it is going to be a long journey to recovery especially because he is going to be temporarily paralyzed."

Lilianne: "How is it possible?"

Dr.Penza: "One of the discs on his spinal cord was dislocated from the impact but we were able to move the disc back in place. It will take a while because the area where the disc is all swollen and his legs need to heal."

Lilianne:"Is this going to ruin his sports career?"

Dr.Penza: "No it will not because there was major damage, the bones need to need to heal and his swelling needs to go down. After that he will go through some intense physical therapy."

Lilianne: "Well thank you doctor."

Dr.Penza: "Your welcome and you are permitted to visit Mr.Segovia in fifteen minutes."

Lilianne: "Okay"

It is hirrible to hear that Zander won't be able to talk for a while. It's not like he is the greatest person ever. He is always fooling around but manages to make straight A's all the time. He is either captain or co-captain in soccer,track,baseball,swimming, and basketball. He ddoesn't date or do one night stands. I on the other hand I am always doing something. Drama club is my main priority because it's my parents career and I have a passion for acting. Then I attend meetings for the photography club and I am team captain for the school's archery team. On weekends I help the town with cleaning parks, beaches, volunteering in the animal shelter and shelter homes.

Consumed in my thoughts I didn't notice the nurse approach me.

Nurse: "Hello I am here to inform that Zander Segovia is in room 231 and that you may go visit him."

Lilianne: "Thank you"

I got my purse and headed down the hallway to Zander's room. Once outside his room I took a deep breath before opening the door.

Beep.... Beep.... Beep...

That was all you could hear in the room as the heart monitor continued making beeping sounds. Zander laid on his bed with bandages wrapped around his head. Casts on his broken legs and a sling on his right arm. Band-aids on his face from the scratches he received and all I could feel for Zander was sympathy. He was alone because so far nobody had come to check up on him. Not wanting to disturb him, I wrote him a note

Zander,

My name is Lilianne you may or may not know me. I brought you here after you were hit by a car. I will come by tomorrow to check up on you because I can tell you are going to need a friend.

Lilianne Anderson

I placed the note on his bed side table and left the room feeling awful for leaving Zander alone.
