Your Secret Is Safe With Me

Chapter 51
Carson's POV:

I was miserable in the hospital. I hated not being at school and at practice and most of all I hated having almost no independence. But that wasn’t the worst part. My surgery was tomorrow and I was more nervous than I had ever been in my life. What if something went wrong? What if I wouldn’t be able to run track in the spring? What if I wasn’t able to run again at all? I wasn’t having such a good day. On top of all that my parents had e-mailed my birth mother about the accident and now 3 days later there was still no response. I couldn’t believe that my mother didn’t even care that I had been in an accident or that I was in the hospital. My mom told me not to worry about it. She loves and cares for me and that’s what makes her my real mom; those are things my birth mother never did for me.
That afternoon my day got a lot better. Gia and Sam came to visit. They told me they wanted to have a party when Jeremy and I were discharged. It made my day to know that they were thinking about me. They spent a couple hours with me planning the party but then they had to go and I was falling asleep because I had just been given another dose of painkillers.
Early the next morning the nurses came in and wheeled me down to the operating room. They told me it was a simple procedure and that I would be fine but I was still nervous. They gave me a sedative and everything went black. The next thing I knew I woke up back in my hospital room. I looked at the clock and realized that I had been out for hours. I tried to sit up but my mom was right there pushing me back down. She told me to just take it easy for the rest of the day. Then I realized the cast. It was huge. Like I mean entire leg cast. I looked at my mom nervously but she said “Don’t worry your going to be fine you only have this big cast for a couple weeks then they take it off and put a smaller one on.” Then I fell asleep again.
The next morning I woke up and all I wanted to do was see Jeremy. The nurse told me I couldn’t. I had to stay in bed for 3 days to let my leg heal before I could get up and use my crutches, which Sam had painted with a gorgeous flowery design. That meant 3 days without Jeremy. I didn’t think I was ever going to make it 3 days without Jeremy. My parents were trying to be comforting but I didn’t want them, I wanted Jeremy. Just as I was trying to get my mind around not being able to see him, Sam and Gia came to visit again. Thank God there were there because they took my mind off of having to stay in bed and made me feel so much better.

Chapter 50

Sam's POV:

The school days dragged on. Carson hadn’t returned to school yet, but Gia and I were visiting her today. Lunch time rolled around. I grabbed a chicken sandwich for me and a turkey sandwich for Gia. I sat down at our usual table, waiting for Gia to return with the drinks. I lost myself in my thoughts. I kept thinking about Zach. He had sent me a couple of flirty texts this weekend, but I didn’t respond. I wasn’t the type of girl that would cheat on her boyfriend. I loved Ben so much, but there was something about Zach that made me think about him. Then again, I barely knew Zach. Still, I liked him. “Hello? Sam? Earth to Sam!” Gia waved her hand in front of my face. I quickly snapped out of my thoughts. “Oh sorry Gia.” I said, taking my water out of her hand. “What is wrong with you today?” she asked. I bit my lip. I hadn’t told Carson or Gia about Zach yet. I didn’t know what they would think. “It’s nothing.” With that Gia changed the subject. “Okay well I was thinking that maybe we could throw Carson and Jeremy a welcome home party!” I smiled. “That would be great! We can ask Carson about it at the hospital.” We continued talking until the bell rang.
The school day ended quickly. Gia and I got in her car and drove to the hospital. We walked into Carson’s room. “Hey Carson.” We said. She looked up from the magazine she was reading and smiled. “Hey guys!” “So Sam and I were thinking and we want to throw you and Jeremy a welcome home party when you guys are discharged.” Carson’s eyes lit up. “That sounds great!” For the rest of the visit we talked about party preparations. Then it was time for us to leave. “Hey Gia, we should go visit Jeremy.” She nodded in agreement. We walked down the hallway until we reached Jeremy’s room. We heard a loud voice coming from it. “Dude it was an awesome party though. I made out with like five chicks.” Gia wrinkled her noise.  “Ew who do you think that is?” We listened for a little bit longer. My body stiffened. I realized that it was Zach. God, how stupid was I? Why did I like him? He was a pig. Not being able to stand it anymore I walked in. “Hey Jeremy.” I said in a cheery tone. “Hey Sam. Hey Gia.” I saw Zach look towards us. “Hey Sam.” He said smiling. “Oh hi Zach.” I said coldly. He came over. “Hi. I’m Zach.” He said, flirting with Gia. “Gia.” She said, looking at me in confusion. The door opened and Ben walked in. “Hey guys.” I smiled. I walked over to him and kissed him. He saw Zach and introduced himself. We spent about 10 minutes there when Zach had to leave. “Nice meeting you Gia and Ben. And it was nice seeing you again Sam.” He said. I just nodded at him. Zach gave me a sly smile and left. “Did you know that guy?” Ben asked as we left. I shook my head. “He’s definitely not important." I said as I took his hand. At that moment, everything just felt right.

Chapter 49
Gia's POV:

 

The next morning I woke up to my alarm clock. Great, school. My hangover was practically gone but the day would be tough knowing Carson was in the hospital while we were all at school. I dragged myself out of bed and french braided my long hair. I put on my ugly plaid skirt and sweater vest and ran out the door; ignoring my parents.

I walked myself over to Sam's locker. "Did you hear about Carson's surgery?" I asked. She nodded her head, "Yeah, it's too bad. Imagine no sports for awhile." I took a sip of my coffee, "I know. It's crazy. Carson without sports is like Justin Bieber without hair." She laughed, "How's your hangover?" she asked with concern. "It's better, thanks." The bell rang and we were off to homeroom.

Math rolled around and I was so nervous. I looked over at my teacher's desk. The same desk I was at a few nights before changing my failing grade to a passing grade. "Report cards were mailed today!" she said with a huge smile on her face. My heart started to pound quicker, but she totally dropped the subject. Maybe she didn't find out. It was the end of class and I was relieved. But as soon as I was walking out the door she called my name, "Gia, may I see you for a second?" Oh God, she found out. Hello being grounded for life; goodbye college. "Gia, you're grades have improved a lot." Oh no, she did realize. "I'm so proud of you." I titled my head, I was so confused. She was proud of me for changing me grade? "Gia you were failing but your recent tests brought your average up to an 83!" she squealed in delight. "Oh, wow!" I said faking me enthusiasm. She congratulated me again and I was off to my next class. I felt so guilty, but hey it worked.

That day when I got home from school Drew visited me. "Hey what are you doing here?" I asked while he gave me a hello kiss. "I don't have a lot of homework tonight and I wanted to see you." he smiled. We went upstairs to my room. "You play guitar?" he asked while looking through my room. "Kind of." I shrugged. "Play for me." he smiled while sitting on my bed. "No, I'm not very good." He handed me my guitar, "For me?" I giggled, "Okay." I've never played or sang in front of anyone before but I felt like I could trust Drew. I plucked the first few notes of For the First Time by the Script and started to sing along. After I finished he stared at me in amazement, "Gia, you're really good." I blushed, "Nah, it's just a stupid hobby." I admitted. "Honestly, you're amazing. We should totally jam sometime." he joked. He kept complimenting me before he had to go. He kissed me slowly and then left. I quickly ran down to my parents liquor cabinet and drank some wine before they came home. i wasn't addicted or anything; I just needed to relax. There's been a lot of stress with me changing my grades, my parents, Carson in the hospital, Drew and just everything. I took one last sip and threw the empty glass in the sink. I wasn't becoming an alcoholic; was I?

Chapter 48
Carson's POV:

I woke up and looked around. It took a second for me to realize that I was in the hospital, that my head was pounding because I had hit it pretty badly last night and most of all that I had been in a car crash last night. I felt myself drifting in and out of sleep. The nurse said I was doing fine and it was normal because I was on so many painkillers. Sam and Gia came and visited in the morning. I wanted them to stay all day because it made me feel like I was more at home but after a while they had to leave. I wanted to go next door to see Jeremy and see for myself that he was ok but the doctors told me that I had to stay in my room.
The doctor came in again in the afternoon. “How long and I going to have to stay here” I asked. All I could think about was the basketball season and how if I didn’t get out of the hospital soon there was no way I was going to keep my spot as captain. “Well at least 3 more days so we can make sure there’s no brain damage from your concussion and in a little bit we’re going to have to take some more x-rays of your ankle to see if you need surgery.” The doctor answered. I was thinking to myself Oh no not surgery. A broken ankle was already hard enough to recover from in time for at least some of basketball but surgery. That wasn’t an option because with surgery I might not even recover in time for spring track. I think the doctor saw my face go pale at the word surgery because he said, “Don’t worry about surgery. We have great doctors so you’re going to be fine.”

Soon after the doctor left a nurse came and helped me into a wheelchair. I hated it, I felt so helpless. She rolled me into the elevator to go down and take x-rays. The whole time all I could do was hope that it was ok. The she wheeled me back up to my room. Before I got to my door I said “Since I’m already out of my room, can I visit my friend who was in the car with me last night.” “Sure” she said “Just don’t tell the doctor I let you do this.”

It was the highlight of my entire day getting to see Jeremy. I felt awful when I saw him though. His face was all scratched and he had a cast on his arm. I felt like it was my fault the two of us were in the hospital. “Don’t worry” he reassured me “It’s not your fault. The drunk driver hit you. There was nothing you could do to avoid it.” I stayed with Jeremy for about an hour but it was too short. The nurse came in and told me that I had to go back to my room.

My parents were waiting in my room for me. They looked really serious. “We have something to tell you honey” my mom said. “What is it?” I asked. “The doctors looked at your x-rays and your entire ankle bone is shattered. You are going to need surgery to repair it.” What no. It wasn’t true. I just laid there and tried to make myself believe it was all a joke.

Chapter 47
Sam's POV:

I drove to the hospital as soon as I could. I knew Gia probably wouldn’t be aware of what was happening so I left her a voicemail explaining the details. I drove as fast as I could to the hospital. I took the elevator up to the third floor and walked to Carson’s room. I was a wreck. I was so nervous to see if she was ok. “Excuse me.” I heard someone call after me. I turned around and I saw a guy around my age standing behind. “You dropped your phone.” He said.  “Thanks.” I mumbled. He frowned. “Are you okay?” “My friend was in a car accident.” I said. He nodded. “Mine was too.” I looked confused. “Really?” I asked. “Yeah. I guess it was pretty bad but he’s going to be ok. I should probably go see him.” I sighed. “Yeah I should go see my friend.” I couldn’t put this off much longer. We said goodbye. That guy was really cute, I thought. But wait I have a boyfriend. I shook him out of my mind and visited Carson. I walked in and saw lots of balloons and gift baskets. “Hey Carson.” I said. Carson smiled. “Hey Sam. Thanks for visiting.” I nodded, looking around at all of the equipment surrounding her bed. “Don’t worry Sam. It’s nothing serious. I just have to stay off my ankle for a couple weeks.” I smiled. “That’s a relief.” I said. “So I have to tell you something. Jeremy and I kissed.” Carson said. “Oh my gosh that’s great! Finally!” I exclaimed. “Finally?” She asked. I laughed. “Jeremy has been in love with you for such a long time.” Carson told me all about the kiss. After that I decided it was time to visit Jeremy. I waved goodbye to Carson and walked out the door. I walked into Jeremy’s room and said hi. They guy who I had met in the hallway was in there. “Ummm hi again.” I said. He looked over at me. “Hi. What are you doing here?” He asked. “Jeremy was in the car accident with my friend. Why are you here?” I asked. “Well isn’t it obvious? I’m visiting my friend who was in the car crash.” I rolled my eyes. “Yeah I know that, but I’ve never seen you around before.” “Jeremy and I have been friends since we were in 3^rd grade. I go to Ferris Public School.” He said. Ferris. The public school I would be going to if I hadn’t gotten a scholarship. “Oh that’s cool. I’m Sam by the way.” I shook his hand. “Zach. So maybe I’ll see you around.” He said. I nodded. “Uh yeah definitely.” He walked out the door. My feelings for Zach and Ben were getting jumbled around. I left the room to clear my head.

Chapter 45
Carson's POV:

If someone had asked me what I thought about Jeremy before the Ball I would have said that he is just a friend, but now my answer has completely changed. I loved him. I don’t know how I could have ever had feelings for Josh when there was Jeremy I could be with. He was sweet, funny, cute, athletic, everything I wanted to see in a guy.

After the dance, Josh and I got into my car. We were going to go to the after party, but Jeremy said he was tired and I had gotten a text from Sam saying that she was worried about Gia, so we just decided to go to Sam’s house instead. It was really snowy out. I don’t think I had ever driven in weather like that. I could barely see the road in front of me. The weather was bad and Sam lived kind of far away so I decided to take the back roads to avoid other traffic. I was really careful and after about 5 minutes it stopped snowing. I was enjoying my alone time with Jeremy. He was being really flirty and cute and I wasn’t hesitating to flirt right back. We stopped at a stoplight and he reached over and kissed me. It was the best kiss I had ever had.

We had just about made it to Sam’s house when I saw headlights coming towards me. I tried to get out of the way but in that split second there was not much I could do. Time seemed to slow down. The other car had hit us and we were spinning. Jeremy looked at me and said “I love you” I said “I love you too.” Then everything went black. The next thing I remember is waking up in the ambulance. My head was pounding and there was a sharp pain in my leg. I looked around for Jeremy but he wasn’t there. “Where’s Jeremy” I said to the paramedic. “In the other ambulance. Don’t worry honey, He’s going to be fine, so are you. Now just lay down we are almost to the hospital.” Everything went black again.

The next time I woke up I was in the Hospital. My mom and dad were there. They told me that I had been hit by a drunk driver, that I had hit my head and gotten a concussion an that I had broken my left ankle. “How long am I going to be here” I asked. “We don’t know. The doctor said the bone in your ankle is shattered and we don’t know if you’re going to need surgery on it or not. I asked ho Jeremy was and they said that he broke his arm and hit his head but that he would be ok too. The drugs they were giving me were making me tired, so I went to sleep, feeling a lot better because I knew Jeremy was ok.
