I
tried to focus on what they were saying, but the haze was clouding my
mind. I just wanted to close my eyes for a minute but every time I
did, Shane would squeeze my hand. I opened my eyes to see him
smiling at me. Cinder was pacing and talking but I couldn't focus on
her words. Eventually Jonas returned with some people and they
loaded me on a stretcher and carried me back to camp.
“It's
definitely broken. We're going to have to take you to the hospital.”
The nurse said. “And we need to call your parents as well. They
can meet you at the hospital and take you home.”
“No!”
I yelled in panic. “We still have one more day. I can't go home
yet.” I turned to Cinder pleading with her.
“Does
she have to have a cast today? Can't you give her something for the
pain and she can go to the hospital tomorrow?” Cinder looked from
the nurse to the director and back to me. “Please. It's just for
one more day.”
“Please.”
I said. “I don't want to go. Not until after the show. Please.”
The
director looked to the nurse and they stared at each other for
several moments. “Is there anything you can do?” He finally asked.
“Well,
if she's very careful, then...” The nurse began.
“I
promise. I'll be careful. I'll do whatever you ask.” I said.
“Ok,
ok.” The director smiled. “Do what you need to do.” Then
turning to me, he continued. “Come see me after. We still need to
talk to your parents.”
“Ok,
I will.” I released my breath. “Thanks.”
"Swallow
this.” The nurse said handing me a pill and water. “It'll make
you feel better.”
