time than expected. Who knows how long I had
until one or both of them came looking for me. The doctor returned about twenty
minutes later with my x-rays in hand. He pushed them up onto the light board
and flipped the switch.
    "It
looks like your jaw is not broken, but just as I suspected, it is dislocated.
That's an easy fix though. I'm not going to lie it's going to be painful, but
easy nonetheless. Your leg on the other hand, we are going to have to stitch
up. I don't know who pulled the blade back out, but they did a good job of
missing any arteries and there was minimal damage to the muscles. I'm going to
have the nurse, Mike, come in and administer some pain medication so it won't
hurt too bad, when we put your jaw back in place. Sound good?"
    "Yes,
thank you." I muttered.
    The
doctor nodded and then left the room. A minute later, Mike was back in the room
He wasted no time coming back with my pain medication. "What is that
you're giving me?" I asked.
    "It's
morphine. It's the best we got here. I just need you to roll over onto your
other side so I can give it to you."
    I did as
he asked and within five minutes, I was starting to feel the effects. I felt
loopy and out of it, but the pain was gone and I was thankful for that. Another
fifteen minutes later and I was good to go. The doctor came in and quickly set
my jaw in place. He said he was going to count down for me, but that must have
just been a way for me to not know it was coming. Even with the amount of drugs
I had on board floating though my veins, it still hurt like hell.
    "Okay,
onto the stitches. As far as your jaw goes, make sure to ice it and try not to
talk for the next couple of days."
    About an
hour and a half later, I was stitched up and feeling no pain at all. Mike made
sure to get me a prescription for the pain and even gave me one more shot for
the road. Cami and I thanked Mike and then we were headed back to her car.
    "Cami,
I need you to take me to the bus depot now. I have to catch the last bus to
Texas."
    I
cringed as I waited for her response. This was the first she was hearing of my
leaving, but she must have just assumed it was for the summer, just like every
year before.
    "Are
you sure you're going to be okay riding on a bus for twelve hours? I'm really
worried about you KJ. I need to know you're going to be okay."
    "I'll
be fine Cami, I promise. I just need to get to my grandparent's house. I have
plenty of medication to keep my comfortable on the way there, and when I arrive
there, I can always fill my prescription if I need it.
    "Okay."
I knew she was at a loss of words, and I wasn't sure I could even try to
comfort her, because let's face it; the situation was far worse than it had
ever been.
    We were
both silent the rest of the car ride to the bus station. When we pulled up outside,
I quickly jumped up and hobbled my way to the trunk of her car. She was
instantly at my side pulling out my small bag. I wasn't sure where my mom and
Wren had stashed my other bags, but they had left this one and my purse, so I
was okay.
    I turned
and pulled Cami into a tight hug. "I'll call you as soon as I get there.
Oh and thank your brother again for me, for the shirt and everything else. I
don't know what I would do without you. I love you girl."
    "I
love you too, honey. Be careful and I will tell him. Please don't forget to
call. I don't care how late it is, just call."
    "I
will." I grabbed my bag and limped up to the ticket counter. I purchased
my ticket and turned to wave good-bye to Cami, before disappearing into the
actual station to see where I needed to go.
    Texas
here I come!

    The girl
walking in our direction was not at all who I had been expecting to see. I
didn't know for sure if this was Kayla, but my suspicions were confirmed when
my grandfather pushed himself off the truck and walked towards her. She looked
like she was having a hard time walking, but I paid it no mind.
    She
hugged my grandfather tightly and when they
