Family Tree
A brown haired, Blake Healy kept driving as the rain began to pour.
He peered into the mirror to see how she was doing. The doctor said
she had lost a lot of blood and considering what had happened,
handling the shock well.
~~~~~~~~~~
Jessica Buck slept the rest of the way home, at least she tried to.
She had dug out of her duffel bag a navy blue sweatshirt to keep her
warm. The doctor said she was well enough to travel as long as she went
to see the local doctor the day or the day after she returned.
Blake was an angel, she's be dead if it wasn't for him.
~~~~~~~~~~
Gail, dressed in blue jeans and T-shirt, ran her fingers through her graying hair as she sat
by the telephone, waiting. She excepted that type of phone call concerning Lucas, or Caleb
for that matter, but her own daughter?
Gail had been trying to reach Lucas and Caleb since Blake called to tell
her what had happened, needless to say, she hadn't gotten much sleep the past few days.
~~~~~~~~~~
It was about 6 am when Blake hit the outskirts of Trinity. When he called his parents to say
that he and Jesse would be coming home from college, Ben and Rita were thrilled.
Then Blake told them why, the happiness faded.
~~~~~~~~~~
Jess' glazed over brown eyes popped open as soon as they past the "Welcome to Trinity" sign.
"Blake you've been driving for almost 10 straight hours. Why don't you bunk at the Buck mansion for a few hours?" she said sitting up in the back seat of the car.
He rubbed his hazel eyes and responded, "Sorry hon, not this time. Mom's shift is just about finished at the hospital so I thought I would pick her up so she doesn't have to bike home."
~~~~~~~~~~
Blake pulled in front of the infamous Buck mansion just as it began to rain even harder. Jesse, put her blue ball cap on her auburn hair, gathered up her duffel bag
as he climbed out and put the umbrella up. She reached for her book bag in the front seat and squirmed as the pain of her bandaged ribs shot through her chest.
~~~~~~~~~~
Gail ran out under her umbrella as Blake helped her out of the car.
"Mrs. Buck, will you make sure that she doesn't study, but rest?" he said nodding
towards the book bag.
"Count on it." said Gail as they helped Jessica inside.
~~~~~~~~~~
She woke up around noon that day. Her eyes panned the room to see the posters of wolves, tigers, dragons and unicorns. Slowly and quietly she got out of bed and headed for the door.
