I actually got the idea for this story from the Episode "The Trouble with Shellshock" when Bulk did actually grab Kimberly's wrist in the park.
Tommy and Jason entered the girls' restroom, while Trini stood outside the door. Jason found his sister lying on the couch crying. To Jason and Tommy it looked as Kim was holding her stomach.
"Kimberly, are you okay? Does your stomach hurt?" Jason asked.
Kim looked at them and sat up so that they could sit down next to her. Kim was still holding her stomach but she shook her head.
"It is not my stomach, it is my wrist. I think it might be broken." Kimberly told them in tears.
Jason pulled Kim's arm away from her body, her wrist was bruised and swollen.
"Oh Kim, how did it happen?" Jason asked.
Kim wasn't sure if she should tell her brother and her boyfriend about how her wrist got broken. She didn't want them to go off the deep-end.
"Bulk happened. He attacked me, he grabbed my wrist. I tried to get him to let go of me, but he didn't. I was sure I heard my wrist snap, so I stepped on his foot and he finally let go of me. I ran straight to the restroom. I wasn't going to give them the satisfaction of knowing he hurt me." Kimberly explained.
"Bulk, it was Bulk!" Tommy shouted.
"He and Skull came to class like nothing happened." Jason told her angrily.
"I don't think Bulk realized that he broke it." Kimberly said trying to calm them down.
"How did it happen?" Jason asked.
"I swear Bulk and Skull have IQ's lower then their shoe size. When are those two going to get the picture that I am not interested?" Kimberly told them still holding her swollen wrist.
"Beautiful, we should go and have your wrist looked at." Tommy said holding her.
Jason went to the sink and got Kimberly a wet paper towel as her eyes were just as swollen as her wrist from all the crying. Jason and Tommy led Kimberly out of there. Trini could see her best friend was upset and had been crying, so she gave her a hug.
"Kimberly, what is wrong?" Trini asked.
"Bulk broke her wrist." Jason told her.
"Oh Kim, I am so sorry." Trini told her as she gave her a big hug.
All 4 of them reported to Kaplan's office as he ordered them to do so. Kaplan just wanted to call the Scotts and have them, come pick her up. It took Jason and Tommy a half-hour of quick talking to convince Kaplan to let them take Kimberly to the hospital. Finally Kaplan agreed to do so.
"I will fill Billy and Zack in on what happened. Call us at the Youth Center afterwards okay." Trini told them and gave her injured friend one last hug.
They have to walk to the hospital since Jason stopped Kaplan from calling his parents. The boys walked on both sides of Kimberly. Just trying to comfort her and get her mind off the pain her wrist is in.
"Jason what are we going to tell them about what happened." Kim asked her best friend and adopted brother.
"The truth Kim, that Bulk broke your wrist." He replied.
"Jason, we can't! If we tell them about what happened with Bulk today. We would have to admit to all the harassment that they do. We would also have to tell them about all of my so-called comments which your parent would think of, as me insulting them and they would get angry." Kim said.
"I know that they would be mad, but if we lie and they find out anyway, we will be in even more trouble." Jason said.
"If it had happened in battle, we would be force to lie about it right. So why should this be any different." Kim told them.
"Kimberly, you did not get hurt in battle and Bulk should have to pay for breaking your wrist." Tommy said.
"How? He won't ever change and it would only cause more trouble with his friends." Kimberly said all defensively.
Jason and Tommy knew Kim was right, they are bullies and that is not going to change. But they haven't decided how to downplay something as serious as a broken wrist. Bruises are easily covered, but a broken bone is a lot harder to hide from prying adults. They reached the hospital. Tommy saw his father talking with the receptionist. Dr. Nick Oliver was an emergency room doctor and most likely to be the one to treat Kimberly.
Jason knew his father was around there somewhere. He is a surgeon and is working today. Jason hoped not to run into his father, but he knew that Dr. Oliver would page him as soon as they make their presence known to him. Turns out he isn't going to have to be paged. Jason saw his father walk up to Dr. Oliver. The 3 teens stood between the two entrance doors trying to find the courage to go in there.
"Nick, that patient you called me about is going to be just fine. She came through the surgery with no problems." Dr. Joseph Scott said.
"I am glad to hear that, and I do appreciate you keeping me informed." Nick said.
"I have seen kids frightened of the hospital, but those 3 take the cake." The receptionist said pointing to the kids that are standing in between the 2 sets of doors.
Both Nick and Joseph turned to the 3 kids she was talking about and headed straight over to them.
