C 9
"Oh no, Rebecca's fallen," Tiffany said. I assume when people get nervous they have weird habits, and I guess Tiff's was to state the obvious.
"Can you stand up?" Natalie asked.
Rebecca tried to get up but failed miserably. "No," she said as she landed back on her butt.
"Here," Natalie said offering Rebecca her hand. "Let's get you to the hospital." I'm not sure what we would do without Natalie, she always seems to know what to do in any situation.
We all helped Rebecca stand up. Then she put on arm around me and one around Tiffany and we made our way to the car. Once we all were in the car and Natalie began driving the car to the hospital, Hannah started rummaging through her purse.
"What are you looking for?" I asked hoping she didn't leave anything.
"This," she said pulling out an Advil bottle from her purse.
"Brilliant," Rebecca, who was sitting in the middle in the back with her right leg propped up on the front console and with Hannah and I sitting on the side of her, said grabbing the bottle out of Hannah's hand.
"Natalie I understand you are in a rush, but can I suggest you slow down" Tiffany said. I glanced over at the speedometer and it was pointing at 75, we were in a 50 mph area.
"Ok," Natalie mumbled out.
I thought I heard police sirens so I turned around. "Too late," I said. There was a cop car following us. Natalie pulled over the car and the cop pulled over behind us. Natalie rolled down the window and the cop walked up. The cop looked around 22 and like your average high school jock all grown up.
"Do you know how fast you were going mam." He said, it was the classic line.
Natalie went to go reply but Tiffany cut her off. "Well you see Officer," she looked at his name tag "Wes, our friend back there, the one with her foot propped up," Rebecca gave a little wave "we're pretty sure she has a broken leg. I know that, that is no reason for us to be speeding but I also know someone like you would hate to see a wonderful girl in pain." Tiffany ended by batting her eyes.
The cop was completely under her spell. He was quite for a few seconds making it seem like he was think it over. "I guess I will let you off this one time. But next time I see you speeding, it's a ticket for you." He said and then walked back to his car.
"You owe me big time" Tiffany said to Natalie as we drove off.
Two hours later Tiffany, Natalie, Hannah, and I were still sitting in the hospital waiting room. I had been through 3 magazines already, that weren't even good, and now Hannah had pulled cards our of her purse and we were playing Go Fish.
"Hannah, do you have a 5?" I asked.
"Nope. Go Fish!" Hannah replied quite loudly just as Rebecca walked in.
"Wow you guys are party animals." Rebecca said. She now had crutches and a lime green cast on her leg.
"What is it?" Natalie asked.
"Broken Fibula," was the reply
"Awesome." I said. Just awesome.
