I squint open my eyes for a split second but the bright sunlight is almost blinding so I quickly shut them again.
"Bethany can you hear me?" says a voice I don't recognize.
"ughhhhhhh" I groan "five more minutes" I say pulling a pillow over my head.
"Bethany please open your eyes" chuckles the voices as a large hand pulls the pillow off of my face. I groan again but let my eyes flutter open. My visions quite blurry I rub the sleep out of my eyes but I still can't see clearly. I quickly realize I don't have my contacts in. I see a someones face which just looks like a blob starring down at me.
"Where are my glasses?" I ask tiredly.
"I'm sorry Bethany we don't have your glasses?" replies the still unidentified voice.
"Contacts?" I question hopefully.
"Nope I'm sorry we don't have those either we took them out to look at your pupils when you got here."
"Wait a minute what happened." I ask the blob looking man. "I remember being at the skatepark and then I... I think I fell when a went to do a trick on the half pipe!" I shout in remembrance.
"Yes that's correct according to what I've heard." confirms the man.
"Wait where am I?" I ask I can't tell based on the blurriness of my vision.
"I'm sorry. I'm Dr.Kimberly. Your in Chilliwack general hospital." Dr.Kimberly informs me politely.
"So I'm in the hospital just because I fell and scraped my shin?" I ask confusedly it seems like a bit extreme for me to be in the hospital just for that.
" No Bethany... your in the hospital because you broke you right leg when you fell" states the doctor sadly.
"Oh" I say as I wiggle my toes it hurts a little.
"It's bad but not absolutely horrific. You'll be able to walk with a airboot and then after approximately 2-4 weeks you'll need to start physiotherapy and we'll give you a brace instead. Within four months you should be able to walk normally again so by mid January in other words." Dr. Kimberly explains to me. "Also..."
I don't know what he says after that. All I can think about is how stupid I am. I never should of started skateboarding in the first place. I should have thought about the risk of being injured. My mom can barely afford to pay the bills there's no way she'll be able to pay for physiotherapy. What have I done!
"Bethany" blurred fingers snap in front of me causing my ears to twitch.
"Sorry what were you saying?" I ask.
Dr.Kimberly sighs as he realize's I wasn't listening. "Never mind.. There's a young man that's in the waiting room who's barely left since you got here along with your sister. Would you like me to send them in?" Asks Dr.Kimberly with what I think is a wry smile.
Kyle I think as my heartbeat rises and a smiles strech's across my face. And poor Margaret she must be so scared.
"Yes please do" I answer.
As the blurry blob that is Dr. Kimberly exits the room I reach blindly at the side of the bed trying to find the controls to move the back of the bed up. WhenI find the button I hold it til I'm sitting up as if I was in a recliner.
It's so quite in the hospital room. After a few minutes Kyle and Margaret walk in. I can't really see them I just guess based on their height's.
"Hey.." Says a shy sounding Kyle.
I'm about to replie back with a hey as well but Margaret speaks before me.
"BETHANY!" she screams happily as she runs and gives me a tight hug. "Your okay"
That was a bit of an exageration.
"Ya I'm okay Margaret." I tell her knowing its easier to lie about this."By chance do one you have my glasses?"
"I actually do." says Kyle. "We swung by your house to grab Margaret some stuff and Margaret said you always wear your glasses when you wake so we had to bring them." He hands me the thick black rimmed glasses and I put them on.
"I can see!" I say goofily smiling widely. Kyle gives me a crooked smile.
"So how you feeling?" asks Kyle as he pulls up to chairs beside me and takes a seat in the one closer to me taking my hand in his I give his hand a squeeze.
"Okay" I sigh the lie tumbles out of my mouth. I cast a weary glance at Margaret who takes a seat in the chair next to Kyle. Kyle gives me a sad smile I'm sure he can tell I'm freaking out inside. I hate lying to Margaret but she wouldn't understand anyways.
"How's the leg?" Asks Kyle as he looks at my casted leg.
"A little sore but not to bad." I answer.
Kyle stares at me for a few moments in silence I can't read his expression. He looks kind of like a lost puppy. Scared, confused, and sad, maybe?
Whats up with him.
"Margaret can I talk to Bethany alone for a few minutes." Asks Kyle blankly as he stares down at the floor with an unreadable expression on his face.
"Why?" asks a puzzled Margaret.
"Just because... please Margaret" asks Kyle's, no expression shows in his voice.
"Okay." mutters Margaret as she drags her feet out the door.
"Okay somethings up whats the matter Kyle?" I ask worriedly.
"Nothing." Kyle says. I can tell he's lying. I give him a look that as to tell him I know hes not telling the truth. "Bethany..." he pauses. "I can't tell you everything... It's not that I don't want to I wish I could but I'm just not ready to yet."
"Kyle I don't understand what can't you tell me." I say. I'm so confused.
"Bethany... I can't tell you but I can tell you something else... Bethany when you fell and passed out I freaked, I was scared I didn't what I would do if I lost you... I... I..." He stops and stares into my eyes he looks scared as if hes reliving the moment. I expect him to continue but he doesn't instead he does something I didn't see coming.
He quickly leans forward weaving both hands behind my messy knotty blue hair as his lips crash against mine. I am taken by surprise and my body stiffens for a moment in shock before I close my eyes and kiss him back eagerly. Our lips move in perfect sync together. This feels so perfect.
I don't want this moment to end but then a voice from behind him says my name. Kyle quickly pulls away to see who was standing behind him. I already knew who it was though.
"Oh ummm hi Ellen." Kyle's says to my mom as his face turns a boiling shade of red.
"Hello Kyle. I'm sorry to inturupt." says my mom sounding Angry and grumpy as she prononces the word intururpt in a sharp as needles voice. "But I'd like to talk to Bethany ALONE." Yep definetly angry.
Kyle gives me a longing look before answering my mom. "Of course I'm sorry." he gives my hand a tight squeeze and dashs out of the room.
