Emily

Hospital

I grabbed my phone off the floor, and looked at the screen, “9:06, and 3 texts from Luke.” I mumbled to myself. My mom and sister were waiting for me in the car, I opened the door and sat down trying to ignore the pain. We sat in the car silently until we arrived at the hospital. “Hello, my daughter Alyx has some cuts on her back, and I was wondering if you could check them out for me?” My mother asked oddly polite. “Sure thing, I’ll have a doctor come see you soon. But if you don’t mind me asking how did this happen?” The nurse asked. “Alyx, you tell them.” my mother told me, “I was playing hide n seek with Summer outside, and I hid in a tree. Then she came up behind me and scared me, so I lost my grip and I slid down the side of the tree with my back against it.” I said, lying for the second time in one day. “Alright, Doctor Anderson will be with you shortly.”

10 minutes later the doctor came out and asked for us to come with him. “Hello, I’m Doctor Anderson, what do you guys need?” “I scraped my back falling down a tree. I think i’m fine, but my mom wants you to look.” I said, “Okay, let me look.” Doctor Anderson said. I took off my sweatshirt and t shirt, which left my in a tank top. I lifted the back of the bloody tank top up and I could feel the fabric clinging to the cuts. “Yikes, that looks like it hurt, I’m going to prescribe you some medication and wrap that up. Try not to be so active so that way it doesn’t irritate the cuts. But you should be fine within’ a week or so.” The Doctor said as he gave my mom a piece of paper. “Let’s go home and get some rest, Alyx.” My mom said to me.
