Turning Point (A Reaching Out Novel)

Chapter Sixty-Two

" What happened? " William asked as soon as he saw me sitting down the waiting room, playing with my phone.

" Hi, William. " I said

" Hi, Allana. " he said as he hugged me.

" Harry fell. "

" Seriously? "

" He fell badly. "

" He's never fallen off his pony before. "

" Well, he's got a broken leg, possibly two ribs, and I'm sure he has a concussion. "

" And I heard that you performed first aid with him. "

" I did. "

" Wow. I'm impressed. "

" Well. "

" I have to admit, when Austin called me, I thought that it was you, again, for the millionth time, but when Austin told me that it was Harry this time, I didn't believe it at first, until I received your text message. "

" Oh. Why didn't you believe it? "

" Because Harry is very careful in handling horses. "

" Are you careful in handling horses? "

" No. Not that careful. I broke my arm once. "

" Oh yeah, Harry told me about that! And I saw the photos. "

" Ah. "

" You came alone? "

" Yeah. "

" Why? "

" I just wanted to confirm the news. "

" Well, it is true. "

" Yes, and I will tell Kate to come. "

Then a doctor came in.

" Excuse me? " he said

" Yes, are you Harry's doctor? " I said

" Yes. "

" Usually, I have to ask if you are related to the person, but at this time, I don't. I have to say, that I am honoured to meet you. "

" Oh. " I said

" So, how's Harry? " William asked

" He's got a sprained left leg, one rib and he has a concussion. "

" Will he need to stay here? "

" Yes. For about 2 to 3 days. "

" So, he cannot sleep for 24 hours? " William asked.

" Yes."

" Can we see him now? " I said

" He was moved in a private room. Room 316. "

" Thank you. Excuse us. "

I grabbed William's arm and went in an elevator.

" What's the rush? " he said

" That doctor went out with Carmela 8 years ago. "

" And? "

" Now, I find it hard to trust Carmela's colleagues."

" You're having trust issues? " he said as he pressed three.

" My sister just tried to kill me several times, so forgive me if I have such issues. "

" I'm not sure exactly on how to respond to that. "

" Well, you're brother loves you. And he'll do anything for your sake. "

" My brother loves you too. "

" And that's why I love him too. "

And ding! We were in the 3rd floor, looking for the 16th room.

" Hey. " Harry said as we enter.

" Hey. " I said

" William? "

" Harry. " William said

" Allana. " I said

William looked at me.

" Seriously? " he said

" Well, I thought we were doing a small attendance checking thing. And, it's not like, you're gonna call out my name! "

" Wha-? " William said

" Anyway, my head has a concussion. " Harry said

" I've heard about that. " William said

" Yeah, I fell of my trusty steed. " Harry said

" Why did you fall actually?! " William asked

" I got distracted actually. "

" By what? " I asked

" I don't know. "

" Seriously? Harry, you don't get two bones broken and a concussion by a thing that you don't know. " I said

" I don't know. "

" Maybe his brain got shaken. " William said

" It did. " I said

" Too bad. "

" Aw. "

" That's just sad. My wife and my brother conspire against me. "

" Trust me, been there done that. " I said.

" Yeah. "
