Chapter 2 "The news''

After Sam's mom introduced herself to me as Susan Puckett, she sat down and dropped her head on her hands. I started walking trough the waiting room, I wanted to know what happened to Sam. Carly just bit her nails while she sat on her chair. Her other arm was hugging her knees to her chest. Spencer just sat there, staring into nothing.

"Why don't you tell us what happened to my daughter?'' Sam's mom shouted to one of the nurses. She now stood in front of the nurses desk, I could see where Sam got her anger problem from.

"Calm down,'' a tall man, who looked like he was around 40 years old and his head was bolding, said to her. "I am de doctor of your daughter, I have some news for you.''

My head turned quickly to the man as he said that, and I walked to him. Spencer and Carly walked to the man as well and he started talking.

"Your daughter," he nudged at Susan Puckett, "and your friend," he turned his head towards Carly, Spencer and me, "is a very strong girl," he said.

"We know that.'' Carly whispered, so softly only I could hear it.

"She's alive, but we have to do some more tests. She is now being held into an artificial coma, so she doesn't feel the pain. The tests will take some time, so maybe you could get some sleep. If the tests are finished, you can go see her,'' the doctor said.

"She's okay?'' Sam's mom asked, wanted to be sure.

"She's stable for now, she may have a concussion but we have to do the tests to find out,'' the doctor said. "But I have to go now," and he walked away. I just gasped and sat down, taking in the information.

Spencer sat down next to me. "Freddie, you need to know, there is a possibility she has a concussion, or something else happened to her head. Don't think she's okay now, she's stable, but the doctors aren't done with her yet,'' he said, trying to make me understand I shouldn't get my hopes up to high. .

"I know,'' I said. "I just don't want to think about that.''

He nodded at me, understanding, and walked towards Carly. He hugged his little sister as he rubbed her back, while she sobbed into his shirt. After an hour, Spencer and Carly had to go home. Spencer didn't think it was a good idea to stay all night, and they lived only 10 minutes away, so I promised to call them of something happened. I didn't want to go home, I felt so guilty.

"If I wasn't chasing her she would had fall out of a tree,'' a voice in my head kept saying, over and over.

I called my mom, after 10 minutes of arguing I convinced her it was safe to sleep in a hospital. I hung up and went back inside.

I sat back in the chair, Sam's mom sat next to me. "Freddie is it, right?'' she asked me.

"Yeah, that's me,'' I managed to get out.

"I have never met you before, Sam doesn't bring many of her friends home,'' she said.

''Yeah, I know.'' I said. "Carly said she was only at your house one time, even though she's known Sam for almost 10 years.''

Sam's mom giggled in shame. "I guess it's a bit of my fault," she said.

But when I wanted to ask why, the same doctor as before came walking into the waiting room. He walked to Sam's mom and me. He had a worried look on his face.

''What's wrong?'' I asked, standing up so I could talk to the doctor. Sam's mom stood up to, and looked at the doctor.

"Sam's physical condition is okay, she has a broken leg, but other than that she has no broken bones. There is one other thing I'm very worried about. When she fell, she bumped her head pretty hard. There might be a chance that she lost her memory,'' the doctor explained.

My eyes were becoming teary and Sam's mom started crying.

"Are you sure?'' she asked in a rough voice.

"No.'' the doctor said. "There is just one way to find out. We have to wake her up.''
