Chapter Twenty

I wake up in a panic, but Madison is quickly at my side with her hand on my cheek. She has tears in her eyes as she bends down over me and gently kisses me on the lips.

“Where am I?”

“The hospital. Darren broke three of your ribs in a few places, fractured one, and broke your pinky finger on your left hand.” She chokes back a sob and bends down to kiss me again. I try to sit up, but I get an agonizing sharp pain in my side and lay back down. “Baby, don’t try to move.”

“Where’s Whitney? Is she ok?” She nods and strokes her thumb over my cheek. “She’s out in the hall talking to the police. They’re looking for Darren now.”

“How long have I been out?”

“Almost two days. Your parents flew out. They got here yesterday, but they’re at the school talking to them about what’s going to be done with Darren and how to handle the time you’re going to miss from school to recover.”

“Do you know how long I’ll be out of commission?” She frowns and kisses my lips again. “You have to stay in the hospital till your pain is managed and you can walk, but when you’re released, it will be one to two months for your ribs to fully heal. You should be able to go back to classes after they release you from the hospital.”

“Well, this was not the ending to a fantastic weekend that I imagined. I was really looking forward to pigging out on the wings and pizza with my beautiful girl. Then falling asleep with you on my chest singing to me.” Madison smiles and runs her fingers through my hair. “We will still have that night. Once you get out of here and you’re able to handle me laying on your chest again. Oh, before I forget, I let Sam know what happened. She wanted to turn around and come back, but her friends can’t afford to miss anymore classes. She’s really upset and has been calling and texting constantly to check on you. They got back to campus today. She asked me to have you call her when you wake up.”

“I’m surprised she didn’t just turn the car around.” Madison laughs in a sad way. “She did. They wouldn’t let her drive anymore once they were able to get her to pull over so they could turn back in the correct direction for school.”

“You’re awake!” Whitney comes rushing over and bends down to kiss my cheek. “Kayla, I am so, so, so sorry. He has never actually hit anyone over our fights before. I am so sorry this happened. Are you in pain?”

“Yes, a lot. How do I get some medicine around this place?” Whitney starts to walk away, but Madison lifts a short wand with a red button that’s attached to a long wire. “Here, press this. It calls your nurse.”

I smile and press the button. Within only moments of pressing the button,
