Shattered Heart

Chapter 9.

I'm standing in sand the breeze is blowing my hair. The ocean water is just barely coming up to my feet. A pair of strong muscular arms encircled around my waist. I looked up to see Dimitri. I smiled. He kissed my forehead I heard laughing and, I looked over to see my parents walking hand in hand smiling and laughing. I looked back out towards the ocean. Everything is so perfect and peaceful. I turned around in Dimitri's arms. He had a smile on his face I stood up on my tip toes he leaned his head down and we met halfway. His lips were on mine. It was a sweet yet, passionate kiss. I looked into his eyes there was so much love in them. "Jenna." He said.

"Yeah, Dimitri?" I asked.

"I love you." He said.

"I love you too." I answered.....

"Hey Jenna, it's time to wake up." I heard someone say. I opened my eyes. I was back in the hospital room... Well so much for waking up and it all being a dream. I sighed. Then I remembered my dream and I smiled. "What?" Dimitri asked me.

"Nothing I just had a really good dream." I replied.

"What was it about?" He asked.

"I don't remember." I lied. Dimitri just looked at me, he looked like there was something else he wanted to say but, held it in because, there was a knock on the door, and in stepped Dr. Reynolds. He had an envelope and a clipboard in his hand. "Whats all that?" I asked.

"Well, these are your X-rays." He said holding up the envelope.

"Can I see them?" I asked.

"I was going to show you anyway, I figured you would like to know whats wrong with your foot." Dr. Reynolds explained.

"Was that sarcasm?" I asked shocked.

"What can I say you're rubbing off on me." He said smiling. I returned the smile. Dr. Reynolds opened the envelope and pulled out the pictures. Dimitri came and stood next to me. "As you can see this is your left foot, you can clearly see the break that is here." He said pointing to my ankle. Where there was a part that was disconnected from another part.

"What is that?" Dimitri asked pointing to another part of the picture but, I was still look at the bone that is literally not connected to itself anymore.

"Well, there appears to be apiece of the bone that got stuck in your foot." Dr. Reynolds said. Then he turned to look at me. "Jenna, do you understand what that means?" He asked me. I shook my head. "Ok, your ankle is broken." Obviously. I thought. "Do you see this piece?" He asked pointing to a piece that was way up towards the front of my foot, about where my toes were. I nodded. "That piece is supposed to be connected to these two." He said. Pointing to where the break was.

"So, what does that mean?" I asked.

"We need to do surgery on your foot so, we can remove that piece then, were going to need to staple that piece back in place along, with stapling your other pieces back in place." Dr Reynolds explained. I started to feel queasy. I grabbed onto Dimitri's arm for support.

"So, you're going to cut open my foot so, you can get a piece of my bone, to put it back together with the bone that is broken?" I said.

"Exactly." Dr. Reynolds replied. I started thinking about them cutting into my foot and, squeezed Dimitri's arm even tighter.

"Jenna? are you ok?" Dimitri asked. I was feeling light-headed and, even more queasy.

"I think I'm gonna throw...." But, before I could even finish it was coming up. Dimitri held a trash can up for me. I got everything out of my system. When I was positive I was done I lifted my head up to see a very worried looking Dr. Reynolds looking at me.
