Chapter 19
"Samantha, wake up!" Jake's voice made Sam jump. She cringed at the sight of
blood on the seat of Jake's truck. At least she couldn't feel it anymore. Wait-
she was in Jake's truck?
"What're we doinn..?" she asked, tiredly. Pain pierced through her, making
her squeeze her eyes closed.
Jake told her they were going to the hospital in Darton. "I called Wyatt." he
explained.
"It doesn't hurt." Sam said. "I could just go back to River Bend. It's only
two fingers, not like my whole arm or something."
Jake paled. "More than two fingers." he muttered, driving out of Deerpath
Ranch.
"I hit your arm. How could I have broken much more than two fingers?" she
asked.
Jake shrugged. "Go back to sleep." he ordered, rolling his eyes.
Sam tried to talk more, but after a couple of minutes, she drifted away to
sleep.
"Sam!" Sam jerked awake and saw Brynna and Dad looking down, looking
concerned.
"Uh, hi." she said, not knowing what else to say. "What time is it?"
Brynna looked at the clock. "It's 11:15. You were asleep while they took
X-rays."
"It's just a couple of fingers." she said, fully noticing the surroundings.
She was in a regular hospital room in one of those beds you raise up.
Dad winced. "You got ten stitches. What the heck happened, Sam?"
"I, uh, tried to punch Jake."
Brynna and Dad exchanged glances. "How could you break fingers by punching
someone?" Brynna asked quietly.
"I don't really know what happened." Sam admitted, truthfully. "One minute I
punched him the next everything was black."
Dad frowned. "I'll talk to Jake. He's in the waiting room."
After Dad left, Brynna sighed. "Gram stayed home with Cody." she
explained.
"Oh. Will I be able to go home pretty soon?"
"Yeah. They have a splint for you and they banaged your index finger." Brynna
said, sitting down in a chair. "Fingers heal fast, but you'll have a scar from
that one." she nodded to Sam's pinkie. Shuddering, she continued. "The bone was
split right through the skin."
Sam winced. "I can't believe I didn't feel it."
"I know-" Just when Brynna was going to add more; a young nurse with long
dark hair walked in.
"I'm Gloria Barnes. Right now-" she picked up a needle. "I'm going to give a
pain medicine shot."
Sam looked away as Gloria injected the large needle into her wrist. Sam
thought it was ironic that Gloria's last name was Barnes. Especially when the
model-looking lady wouldn't probably spend a day in a barn if paid a thousand
bucks.
"There you go." she said, smiling. "Dr. Reed will be in in a minute."
