Ok background information: in this Josie's ability to write was discovered earlier on and is a columnist, so she was never sent under cover at South Glen South and Aldys is Josie and Rob's little sister. The rest you'll get as you go. I don't own these characters la-dee-da-dee-da. R&R Plz. )
Part one - The Crash
As Aldys hurried to her denominator meeting, she was running 10 minuets late, her thoughts once again drifted to her older sister. Josie was the oldest of the three kids; she was 25 years old then came Rob at 23 and Aldys 17. When they were little Rob and Josie would protect Aldys since she was the baby, but that all changed when Josie was 17, Rob 15, and Aldys just 9. A boy had hurt Josie and she has been scared since, and now Aldys and Rob protected Josie.
Aldys was a smart girl was a smart girl who realized that Josie couldn't take heartbreak. So ever since her sophomore year when she had first gotten Sam Coulson as a teacher she had been desperately trying to keep Josie and he from meeting. Aldys was smart enough to realize that Josie would fall for him and that he would most likely fall for her too. Although Sam was now single after about a year ago now he found out his girlfriend of five years was cheating on him but Josie seemed happy now and Aldys wouldn't risk her sister's heart. So for two years now she has kept Josie away from the school.
She continued driving down Highway 92, it was icy and her car hit a rock then lost grip of the ice. The car began to spin and a pre-existing collision heading towards her. Her first thoughts were 'Oh she**!' and then her mind went blank.
The car was totaled and she lay unconscious in the rubble. As flames began to overtake the engine, some brave spectators broke open the door to her shattered little Buick, and pulled her limp body from the mess, just as the car erupted in flames.
An ambulance came and her lifeless body was rushed to the emergency room. She woke about two hours later surrounded by her family. Josie sat holding her right hand with tears in her eyes. Aldys' head pounded and her body was soar, her eyes tried to force themselves shut from dried, built-up tears. She let them drift back shut until she was startled awake by a mans voice "Mr. and Mrs. Geller!!!" The man spoke kindly.
"Yes" they responded in unison.
"Your daughter has sustained some pretty serious internal damage. Although she has no broken bones there is some internal bleeding that is bothering us."
"Will she be ok?" Janet Geller distraughtly asked.
"We think so but I'd say we are looking at a good two-at-three weeks in the hospital."
"I can't miss school!!!" She retorted with immediate surprise this was followed by a bout of coughing.
"We need to keep an eye on you" the doctor replied in a stern tone as he handed her a glass of water. "Why don't you have someone pick up your work so you don't fall behind?"
"I'll do it!!!" Josie and Rob said in unison.
"Rob should do it, Josie; you have a nine to five job." Janet decided.
'Thank you' Aldys thought, with that Aldys wrote down her schedule and Rob planned to go by every day during the last class and get her work, that way the work would already to assigned and he would be off work.
************
Rob walked down the hall of the school he had graduated from. He and Josie had gone to a different school over his first two years then graduated and he switched schools do to moving.
Only one more room, last class of the day, English with Mr. Coulson this class would be just about over.
He gently pulled opened the door he was greeted by a friendly man that looked about Josie's age.
"How can I help you" Sam asked the man.
Rob looked around; the class was reading out of Josie's favorite play As You like It. "Hi!" He started "My name is Rob Geller, my little sister is..."
"Aldys Geller, I knew something was wrong when she didn't show up, It's not bad is it?" Sam asked with obvious concern as he finished Rob's sentence.
"She was in a massive Car accident and is bound to the hospital for two-at-three weeks!" Rob replied.
Over the next twenty minuets Rob filled in Sam on the details of the wreck, talked about baseball, friends and food, not to mention the occasional girl came up in the conversation.
Rob and Sam became fast friends and Sam talked him into joining a local baseball team he belonged to and assured him he would get along with the guys.
They made plans to meet for practice the next night. Practice on Wednesdays and Fridays with games on Saturdays.
They parted each with a new friend, Rob with Aldys' homework and Sam with Rob's uniform sizes.
************
That day after work Josie went to do some grocery shopping so she headed for Albertson's.
Meanwhile, Sam decided to head out for dinner today he was completely tired from grading papers all night and didn't feel like cooking. He thought about life as he drove to the deli inside Albertson's. While eating on one at of the tables, he spotted a woman with blonde curls wearing a light blue sundress. She was concentrating on which cookie to chose. From then on, Sam's eyes were locked on the young women, his stomach twitched with nervousness as he attempted to build up the courage to go and speak to her.
Just then an older woman came up and said, "Josie honey, it's not rocket science, just pick one."
"Mom this is chocolate, rocket science is easer" then choosing the chocolate chip they headed for check out. With that Sam lost his nerve. He submitted her name, looks, and love of chocolate to mental note for a later discussion with his best friend Jonathan.
