Broken and Fearless // C.B.

Chapter 100

Sam's video: I Went to the Hospital.

Sam's POV:

As I laid on the couch on my stomach with an ice pack covered with a red washcloth on my back, Colby asked, "What happened?"

"I'm dumb," I replied, glancing at the camera.

In my room, I held my hands over my eyes. "So, I, uh... broke my back. Yesterday. And obviously you can tell it didn't go so well. But I wanted to explain the situation a little bit because a lot of people were in the dark. I am willing to play the full video, but I just want to say before we get into that, if you have a queasy stomach and you don't want to see people in pain or whatever like that, you can just skip ahead. Um, but for those of you guys that want to, enjoy."

Jake brought out the beanbags.

As I looked down, I let out a groan. "Oh, my God. Oh."

Corey let out a cry as Jake and Colby set the beanbags.

Juliet shook her head, not approving of the idea. I'd already heard protests from her, but had decided to do it anyway.

"This is so high, brother."

"Sam, are you ready?" Colby asked loudly.

I'd stepped onto the pillar on the roof. "No!" I yelled back.

"Don't do this, Sam!" Juliet warned.

I glanced to Corey. "I'm gonna die, dude."

"Dude, you're not gonna die," Corey replied.

"Oh, I'm scared, I'm scared," I said as I started dancing. "All right."

"Count it down, man," Colby told me.

"Three, two, one."

I jumped and landed hard on my back, instantly crying out in pain.

"Oh, shit," Colby said as he, Jake and Juliet came towards me. "Oh, fuck, fuck."

Colby tried reasoning that everything would be okay. "You just-- you just knocked the air out of you. You're good, you're good, you're good."

"Can't breathe," I managed.

"Oh, fuck," Corey said.

"Mmm," Juliet hummed, signalling she thought all wasn't good.

I winced, remembering the pain. "Now that you guys have seen the video, do not do what I did. Like, I'm stupid, I'm an idiot, I'm a dumb idiot. I did do this video about a month ago of jumping off balconies and beanbags, and it went well. This one obviously gone wrong. Finally. A YouTuber that says gone wrong that's not just clickbaiting." I shot fingers at the camera. "So yeah, I just wanted to get that off my chest. It was definitely not worth it. It was a very, very painful night. Juliet, I'm really sorry I didn't listen to you. You were right to tell me not to do it because I'd probably hurt myself. I'm gonna show you a quick recap of my night, uh, at the hospital."

I was laying on the couch with an ice pack covered in a red washcloth on my back. "So, guys, I got pretty hurt, but instead of you know, just sulking in sadness, why not make a YouTube video about it? So I'm wanting to film this, put this on there that--"

Colby turned the camera to himself. "You do know that this is not what normal people should do. We're just--This is horrible, man." He turned the camera back to me. "Are you sure you want to film this?"

Juliet walked into the room and looked at me worriedly.

I sighed deeply. "Well, we're YouTubers, so we gotta film all the parts of our lives."
