Aaron ran over to me after he saw me land on my ankle. "Oh my gosh, Riley are you ok?" He asked. "No, I think I broke my ankle." I tried to say without yelling in pain. "I'll call your mom." He said.

While he was talking to her I could hear her in the background yelling. She sounded mad. "Let me talk to her." I said. Aaron handed me his phone. "Mom, don't yell at Aaron..." I trailed off and then I yelled from pain. "It's not his fault!" I said. Then I handed the phone back to Aaron. I couldn't talk anymore without yelling.

"Ok, bye." Aaron said after he talked to her for a couple minutes.

"What?" I asked.

"They're going to come pick us up and we're going to the hospital." He explained.

"What? Are they crazy? I don't need to go to the hospital!" I said.

"Yes you do Riley. You're really hurt." Aaron said with a worried look on his face as he looked down at my ankle. It was starting to swell and it looked pretty bad.

"Fine." I said.

After about 5 minutes of me sitting on the ground with Aaron yelping in pain every few seconds, they finally pulled up. The swings were a few feet from the car, and I couldn't walk.

"Let me hold you." Aaron said.

"Ok, just please be careful. "

"I will, I promise." He bent down and put one hand under my back, and one hand under my knees. As he started to lift me up, I yelled in pain as my ankle lifted up from the ground. After that I was fine until we got to the car.

Aaron's mom got out of the passenger side and opened the back door.

"I'm so sorry honey." She said.

"It's ok."

Aaron slowly put me in the car, it hurt a lot but I tried not to yell. I didn't want Aaron thinking it was his fault for hurting me. Which I'm pretty sure is what he thought...

(CONTINUED)

The car ride to the hospital took about twenty minutes. But with a broken ankle that's hurting like crazy it feels like hours.

"I'm so sorry." Aaron said with a sad look on his face.

"It's ok Aaron, you don't have to apologize." I said trying to smile.

We pulled up at the emergency room parking lot about 5 minutes later. Again, Aaron was going to have to carry me.

He walked over to my side of the car and opened the door. He grabbed underneath my back and knees again. And of course it hurt but I didn't say anything.

We walked in the doors and all four of us walked (well in my case, was carried) to the front desk. Aaron told her what happened and she gave me a bracelet and told us to sit in the waiting room.

Aaron put me down in a chair and then sat down next to me.

We kinda just all kept silent until they called me to come back.

Aaron picked me up again and we all walked into our room. It was kinda small so we were all packed in.

He layed me down on the hospital bed and then hopped up next to me. It was a small bed so he just sat at the foot of it. He grabbed an extra pillow and layed it across his lap and let me rest my ankle on it.

The nurse came in and talked to us about what happened.

"The doctor has another case so he might be about and hour or an hour and a half before he can come check you out." She explained.

Then she left.

"Great." I sighed.

While we were waiting for the doctor everyone talked except for me cause I really didn't feel like talking.

After about 10 minutes, I drifted off to sleep...
