“What do you mean by that,” I asked.
“Your mom didn’t know what’s going on,” Brittney gasped.
“Who do we call to take us to the hospital since there’s no way that you’re
going to be able to walk all the way there,” I asked her.
“Call Kate,” she answered. She was obviously trying not scream out in pain.
“Maybe you should try lying down,” I told her.
“Just hurry up and call Kate,” Brittney screamed. I dialed Kate’s number and
pressed the call button on my phone.
“Hello,” Christian said in a groggy voice.

“Is Kate here,” I heard Brittney ask through clenched teeth.
“I’m right here,” I said while rushing into the living room of Nate’s house.
“What’s wrong with her,” Christian asked Nate.
