Loryn's POV
I had been in the hospital for a couple of hours that i knew of. I just remember waking up here in the hospital. I knew I was in Australia for the Solar Blue Surf contest but I didn't know why I was in the hospital but I shortly found out what happened when Bec walked into my room.
hujambo Loryn. How are wewe feeling? Bec asked.
Fine, I guess. I alisema shrugging my shoulder.
I winced in pain. My shoulder was hurting, my ribs were hurting and then my ankle was hurting some but not to much.
Bec, what happened? Why am I in here? I asked.
Well, Loryn wewe were surfing and your pearled, fell forwards off of your board. She told me.
Oh. I said.
The doctors alisema that when wewe fell mbele that wewe put your arms out in front of wewe to catch yourself but ended up popping one of them out of socket, then wewe sprained your ankle and then when Jake was giving wewe CPR it broke some ribs. Bec told me.
Wow. I've never done this much damage to myself before. I told her.
Loryn, can I ask wewe a question? I don't want to offend you. Bec said.
Yeah sure. I said.
Have wewe ever surfed that big of waves before? Ec asked curiously.
No, I haven't. I alisema looking down.
It's okay. We can work on that. I just wanted to know. She said.
How long have I been in the hospital? Do my parents know that I'm in here? I asked.
Yes they do. And wewe have been in here 3 days. Bec told me.
Wow. Three days! Why aren't they here? I asked.
I dont know. They alisema something about, wewe can take care if yourself. Bec told me.
Oh okay. I said.
If wewe need anything, Loryn, just ask. Okay? Bec said.
Don't worry. I will. I said.
Gary stuck his head in the door of my room.
Do wewe feel like company? Gary asked.
Umm, yeah. I alisema trying to smooth my hair out.
wewe look good, Loryn. Dont worry! Bec said.
I smiled at her.
Loryn! How are wewe feeling? Lila asked as she walked through the door.
I'm okay. I told them.
It was somewhat awkward because we all didn't know each other well au they didn't know me well.
What have y'all been up too? I asked.
Just boring school. Don't worry your not missing much. Leo said.
The tone of his voice indicated that he hated school. I just kind if chuckled at his remark.
That's good, then. I said.
Okay, let's, let Loryn get some rest. Gary said.
Oh we brought wewe some flowers. Cam alisema while setting them down on a table.
Awe, thanks. They are lovely. I said.
And we brought wewe some magazines!! Emma alisema while Paige handed them to me.
Thanks yall. I said.
What does y'all mean? Leo asked with a weird look on his face.
Sorry, its a southern word for saying wewe guys au just sometimes talking to one person. Sorry it's kinda hard to explain. I said.
It's okay. Well go nyumbani and research it. Paige said.
Okay, we have got to get going! Bec said.
Everyone alisema goodbye and Leo told me goodbye y'all even though it wasn't in the right context.
Jake didn't say goodbye to me he just quietly slipped out of the room.
Bec, is Jake okay? I asked.
Yeah, I think so. Why? She asked
I don't know, just wondering. I said.
Okay, get some rest. I'll see wewe tomorrow. Bec said.
Bye.
I laid there thinking about so many things. How my parents weren't here on my first major wreck off my surfboard and then how Jake didn't talk to me at all.
I kept making excuses up for why my parents weren't here. Like they don't have enough money for trips out to Australia au they can't just get up and leave their jobs. All while I was thinking that Jake kept popping up into my head. I had all these maswali like; why didn't he say anything to me? au why did he have that look in his eyes? Did I really die and did Jake really bring me back to life? And then there was did my death and then did my coming back mess with Jakes mind?
I fell asleep pondering all of those questions.
The inayofuata morning I woke up really early. I was getting out of the hospital. The doctors gave me crutches to use until I could put weight onto my ankle without it hurting. I thought Bec was coming to pick me up but Jake walked into my room.
Hey, Bec and Gary got tied up in a meeting so they sent me to pick wewe up. Jake said.
Oh okay. I said.
Here are some clothes to change into. He said.
Are wewe okay? I asked.
Yeah, I guess. He responded.
No your not. I can see it in your eyes. I told him.
I'm fine. I don't know what your talking about. He said.
Sorry, I usually can tell when people are upset. I said.
I'll leave so wewe can change. He said.
Something was wrong with him and I was going to find out but first I just had to find a way. I thought.
I changed clothes and told Jake he could come back in. A nurse walked in pushing a wheelchair. She helped me get in it and then pushed me to the van. Jake had grabbed my back and my crutches.
I can hold my stuff, so wewe don't have to carry it. I told Jake.
It's fine. I've got it. He said.
When we got to the van he opened my door for me and helped me get in and then he sat my stuff in the back of the van.
So where is everyone else? I asked Jake.
They are at school. He said.
Oh okay. I said.
Lila, Paige and Emma wanted me to tell wewe that they are going to share a room so wewe can get the rest wewe need. Jake told me.
Oh. I said.
When we got to the house Jake grabbed my back out of the back and then handed me my crutches.
Thanks. I said.
He was treating me different, like he didn't care about me. It was different than before. I got inside and Jake was walking downstairs in his swimsuit.
Do wewe need anything? Jake asked.
No, I'm fine. I said.
Okay I'm going surfing. He alisema and left.
I hobbled up the stairs and went to my lonely room. There weren't any posters on the walls and my stuff was still pretty much in my suitcase. I went to the other girls bedroom and looked in on it. They had it so cutely decorated. I hopped back to my room and looked at the time it was 1:00pm. So I had a couple of hours before everyone would be home. Jake was pretty much ignoring me, my parents hadn't called me to see how I was and it was all starting to get to me. I could feel the tears filling up in my eyes. I didn't want them to escape but they started rolling down my face and I couldn't help it. I pulled my dawati chair up inayofuata to the window and sat there with my leg propped up on my bed. I could see Jake surfing from my room. I saw a bunch of other kids surfing too. They were trying aerials and they didn't have on a leash. I saw one kids board fly up into the air and land on Jakes head. I got up and ran towards the beach, pwani as fast as I could which wasn't fast at all. When I got to the edge of the water Jake was paddling in.
Are wewe okay? I asked
Yeah, I think so. He said.
How did wewe get down here so fast? He asked.I was looking out the window and saw what happened. I was worried that wewe were hurt. I said.
I was putting all of my weight into my leg that wasn't hurting and I was trying tj slow my breathing down but my ribs were killing me.
So wewe are okay? I asked
Yeah. He said.
Okay, well I'm going back up then. I said.
Okay. He said.
I couldnt believe that he hadn't offered to help me back up to the house. It took me forever to get back up to the house kwa myself and when I got back, I sat in the same chair And propped my leg up on my he'd like before.
Now I was crying out of pain. I had really hurt my ankle when I jumped up and ran down to the beach, pwani and then my ribs were hurting from running. I tried taking deep slow breathes but it wasn't working. I moved over to my kitanda and laid down to see if that help and it did some.
When my breathing slowed down, I got up and went to the jikoni to get some ice for my ankle and ribs.
When I walked into the kitchen, Jake was just sitting at the meza, jedwali looking down. I saw a tear drop onto the table.
Jake-I alisema but I couldn't finish because he got up and let the room.
Me being the kind of person who cares about how people feel, followed Jake.
He stopped walking once he heard that I was following him.
What do wewe want? He snapped at me while turning around to look at me.
I just wanted to know why wewe were crying. I said.
Go away and stop trying to pry into my life so much. He said.
I'm sorry. I whispered.
With all that alisema I turned around and walked back to the jikoni and grabbed some ice and headed for my room.
Thanks anynomous for making me write again!!!! Please maoni and/or like my story so I know who is all reading!!! Thanks!
