I took one of the Hollingsworths’ cars to the hospital. They had my motorcycle brought to their home. They were more than kind to me, and it really meant a lot. My pain was beyond anything that I had ever experienced before. I was desperately trying to make light of it because it was my choice to fight, and I needed to “man up” as Finn would say and take the pain. After all, I believed that pain was just weakness leaving the body.

I was able to pay my grandfather’s bill, and they admitted him. They didn’t think he was going to need surgery after all, but now they would keep him for a few days for treatment. My grandmother flipped out when she saw me, and she wanted to know what happened. I felt terrible lying to her, but the truth would have been more than she could handle. I told her that I had been jumped, but that I was OK. I gave her $1,000 to pay bills and get some groceries. The relief on her face was worth a million dollars to me. She asked where I got the money, and I told her that I had a part-time job. She kept pressing me about the job, so I told her that a friend of the Hollingsworth’s had hired me to do some work around his house. She seemed to believe me, and she didn’t ask any further questions about it.

I spent a few hours with my grandfather, but my injuries were causing me more and more pain as the day went on. I was glad that I was able to spend some time with him, though, because he needed me. He asked all about Emerson, and he loved to hear me describe her races. I told him that I had to be going because she had a race that afternoon. He told me to wish her luck.

I met all of the Hollingsworths’ back at their house, and we drove over to the race. I drove with Daniel, Charlotte, and Finn. Emerson’s grandparents and a few of her uncles, aunts, and cousins were going today, and so they followed us over to the school. We met up with Mila, Paisley, and C. J., who were all there to cheer on Emerson. Everyone seemed to know why I was in the condition that I was in because no one swamped me with questions, just small smiles of sympathy.

I saw Emerson right before her race, and she looked tired. I felt horrible because I knew that I was responsible. I heard her father tell her to dig deep and run through it. He was tough, and Emerson followed in her father’s footsteps when it came to toughness, both mentally and physically. I hoped that she could pull from her inner strength and get through this race.

Her coach only wanted her to run one event that day because she would be running four events at the race on Saturday.
