Chapter 35

"Thankfully none of your ribs are broken, but you're really going to have to take it easy. I recommend taking a few days off of school." The doctor said.

I nodded in response. Darry and Dally listened carefully to the doctor. Dally with one foot crossed over the other, arms folded, and Darry standing tall and professional. I love how different but similar they are. Different being attitude and behaviour, similar being they both love me and look after me, doing anything to keep me safe.

"You should also keep this tape around your waist for another day or two" He informed. "And that should be it, you are free to go"

"Thank you" I smiled and got up from the chair I was sitting on.

"Remember take it easy, get better soon" He smiled.

"I will, thanks again"

Dally helped me into the truck and we rode silently back to the house. Every time we hit a bump I hissed in pain and Dally looked at me with sad eyes.

"Could you describe what these guys looked like?" Darry asked finally breaking the silence.

"I honestly don't remember that much, one guy had dark hair and the other had blonde, they had their hoods up so I couldn't really see their faces" I said.

"I bet it's Skylar and Cooper" Dally growled.

"Who are they?" I asked.

"Dally I doubt it was them, they don't even go to her school" Darry sighed.

"Who are they?" I asked again.

"You don't know that Darry. And that doesn't mean anything. They've done stuff like that before. Before I left them and came to you their plan was to do that crap" Dally said.

"Who are they?" I asked again, becoming impatient.

"Dal, don't think about it. Hannah will find out who it was and then it'll be over with. We should probably even notify the police if someone hadn't already" Darry said.

I sat silently. I figured it was better to save my breath because they weren't going to answer my question. I wanted to know so badly who Skylar and Cooper are. I haven't heard their names before, maybe it wasn't two guys from my grade.

"Han?" Steve said coming into my room.

"Yeah?" I asked turning just my head to look at Steve. I wasn't moving my body unless I had to. I don't understand how my ribs aren't broken. I feel like I can't even blink without feeling pain through my body. All I could think about was having to go back to that miserable place. I don't get how Pony likes it so much.

"The police will be here in a minute" He replied.

"The police? Why?" I furrowed my eyebrows and slowly lifted myself up.

"Darry wanted to let them know what happened, they wanted to come and ask you some questions. Nothing to worry about" He smiled. "Want some help?"

"Sure" I smiled. He picked me up bridal style, which I wasn't expecting. I giggled as he brought me out to the living room where the rest of the gang were. Darry pacing back and forth next to the door. I shook my head at him for overreacting about a couple questions.
