Chapter 16 : Hospitals and arguments

Chapter 16

Morning...

Riker POV

"Riker?"

I rolled over in bed.

"Riker, please wake up."

I rubbed my eyes a little, and looked up. Jeff was sitting up next to me. I could tell something was wrong.

"Jeff, what's going on?"

"My ankle."

I sighed.

"Riker, it hurts worse than last night."

"Ok, well how about I get you some medicine, and then we'll see how you feel?"

"Ok..."

I got up and got him the medicine. But I could tell his ankle was really bothering him.

"Jeff? I think maybe we should tell mom and dad."

"No! Will they make me go to the doctor's!?"

"I don't know... Maybe..."

"Riker, I don't want to go!"

"Ok, ok! Please don't cry. Maybe we can wrap your ankle, and that might make it so you can walk on it."

Jeff POV

Riker wrapped up my ankle, but it still hurt really bad, and I wasn't even standing on it.

"Riker, it hurts. Worse."

"Jeff, I think we need to tell mom and go to the hospital."

"No!"

"Jeff, you might be seriously hurt."

"Mmmm..."

"I'm telling mom."

"Riker!"

"What?"

He reached his arms out for me. I picked him up over my shoulder, and carried him downstairs.

"Mom, Jeff has to go to the hospital or the doctor or somewhere," I said, setting Jeff down in a kitchen chair.

"Why? What happened!?"

"Well... He sort of got beat up last night in this creepy ally. And he can't walk on his ankle because it hurts too much. And he says the pain is getting worse."

"Alright. Get him in the car. I'm going to go get your father to drive you."

I picked Jeff up again.

"Dude, you're literally so light," I said, walking out the door with him.

"I'm skinny."

"Yeah. You need to eat more."

"I ate ice cream last night."

"Yeah, well work on that..."

I put him in the back of dad's car, and then got in next to him. Dad came out about a minute later, and started driving.

Later...

Riker POV

Jeff had a small fracture in his ankle. The doctor had asked how it happened, and we found out that the sketchy ally guy was trying to hurt Jeff, and in Jeff's attempt to get away, he tripped over something, and landed weird on his foot.

They wrapped his ankle, and they were giving him pain medicine through his IV, which he wouldn't stop looking at. He was practically glaring at the needle in his arm, as if glaring at it would make it come out or something.
