Disclaimer:I own nothing
After an hours drive we finally stopped. I successfully stayed conscious throughout the ride. It got hard when Bella had to set my arm with some straight sticks and a wrap. I think it was harder for Benji to hear me screaming in pain, so I tried to keep it to a minimum. I groaned as Bella pulled me out of the car.
Once out of the car, I took Benji's hand and cradled my broken left arm to my chest. All of the Cullens were out here in a loose circle. Carlisle strode forward.
"May I look at your arm Jenna?" I figured he only asked because my eyes were betraying my fear and panic. I just nodded and held out my arm. He quickly unwrapped my makeshift cast and carefully examined it gently. I winced every now and then but he took care not to hurt me too much.
"I presume Bella set the bone; now all you need is a proper cast. I have the materials but it would be best to go to a nearby hospital." My face grew slightly paler; more panicked. Jasper looked at me curiously before sending calming waves toward me, but it didn't completely smother my alarm.
"I don't want to go to a hospital. It will be a waste of time." I muttered, blocking out the memories so Edward wouldn't know.
"Okay that's fine." Was all he said. He went to his car and grabbed a black bag. He took out the appropriate items and got to work. It didn't take long but it seemed to take longer because everyone was just staring, making me fidget.
"Okay that should do it." Carlisle said, once he was finished, "Although a shot of morphine will help with the pain."
"No!" I shrieked, "I'm fine the pain isn't that bad."
Everyone stared at me more confused and concerned. Edward entered my thoughts.
What's the matter, Jenna?
I don't want to talk about it. I replied in a snapping tone, making sure my thoughts were safely hidden.
Jenna, this is no time to be bravery. You're scared and tired. You need rest and pain meds will help.
"I'm not trying to be brave!" I snapped aloud, too angry to just think it. The rest just got more confused; I guessed Edward was holding back their questions.
Jenna, you're scaring us. Why won't you tell me? If not me, then tell Benji.
I sighed, giving in and let the memories flood through; waiting for him to finish.
I watched his face warily as his emotions turned from shock to anger. Everyone jumped as he suddenly growled at an unseen offender.
I think you should tell them. They have a right to know. I cringed as he told me but nodded anyway.
I sighed and turned from Edward to Benji; trying to fade everyone else in the background.
"Remember how I told you that people thought I went crazy when you left?" he nodded, "Well, my dad tried his hardest to help. For awhile he never left my side, but I didn't work. He got desperate, so he called in several doctors. Most saw me and truly tried but eventually said I was a lost case, but one was persistent.
"He was young for a doctor, 25 or 26, and I think he was a little insane himself. At first he did the same as others and failed like them too, but he got creative. In due time, he got frustrated with me. My dad was out one time and he was…rough with me. It made me sink further in my depression and I think it encouraged him. My dad finally found out and made sure he didn't work anymore. I came out of it soon enough but it left its mark on me. I can't stand needles…" I trailed off not willing to continue. Benji pulled me into a protective embrace.
I heard Carlisle behind me, "oh I'm so sorry Jenna. I had no intention to hurt you. I won't push you farther." He put a comforting hand on my shoulder and instinct took over before rational response. I shrunk away from him, regretting it because his face was dejected. I had hurt him and I didn't know how to take it back. I buried my face into Benji's chest as they discussed location and got back in the cars. This time Benji sat in back with me, trying to comfort me. I fell asleep on his chest as we drove once again into the unknown.
