A soft hand wakes me up, and I can already tell its Troye. There is harshness to his voice. " Wake up! The 7th graders are coming today! Come on Lyz, we need to get up!" I slowly wake up, and he calms down. Ra-Ra and Maca are in the room, and they have suitcases. I stand up, now in a boot for my leg, and I walk with them s they ask. I come back 45 minutes later, dressed and ready to meet the kids. The rest of them are ready, except Troye. I walk over as they take him as well.

We sit watching the cartoons on the TV for a while and Troye comes back, and we gasp. I take one look, and my mind flashes back to night surfing. His hair, tank top, and everything, reminded me too much. I ran out of the room, tears in my eyes.  I hear footsteps coming after me, and I run to a small bench where the hospital workers left my crutches.

Troye ran to me, and Maca followed. " What the hellis wrong?" Troye and Maca ask at about the same time. " It's just that when you walked in, I saw you before the attack, and it freaked me out." I cried. He hugged me tight, and I cried into his shoulder blade.  I calmed down, and we walked back to the room.  I checked the time, and it was around 9:15. The kids were going to be here at 9:30, so we sat there and used our phones until they got here. We moved into a bigger room, so we could all fit.

The children sat on the floor, and we sat on the 2 hospital cots in the room.  We started by meeting about half of the kids, and we started talking after that. " Hey guys! What's up?" We all said. The kids answered back with hellos and his and heys. " What are you guys learning about in science?" a few stood up and starting singing a song.  " I PMATC IPMATC Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telephase Cytokinesis!" " So what are those?" I asked. " Its Mitosis! The divisions of cells!"  One of the kids yelled. " That's so cool!" We said. " Did you guys notice all of the clouds today? What makes those?" we all asked.  They looked around and yelled " THE WATER CYCLE!"  We laughed and continued to talk to the children.  The teacher gave us some cards, with questions on them. They were fill in the blank questions with definitions. The end of the year upgrade test was coming up in Hale School, so the teacher wanted us to quiz the children.  " Ok guys! Your teacher gave us some flash cards, we will ask you the questions, and raise your hand when you know it." After we finished, asking, the visitor time was coming to an end. They gave a giant card that said, "Get well soon!" and we took a picture with all of them.

They left, and Riley and I passed out. As I woke up, I was being carried to our room.  I wasn't on a cot, like I normal was, and I looked slightly to see who was carrying me. The person was carrying me bridal style, and they were walking kind of weird, with almost a limp. I ruled out Connor, since his leg wasn't broken or anything, and Kade, because the person had dark brown hair.  That left me with Troye, and after I figured it out, he started to talk to Connor and Kade, whispering.

" Kade! Can you help me? I know that sharks attacked us all, but my shoulder has stitches in it, and my leg might be forever broken! Plastic arm over there doesn't have anything thing on his legs, and no stitches keeping his arm on his body, just a prosthetic arm, from elbow to the tip of is fingers! Please help, or get a nurse to roll her on a cot!" Troye whisper-screamed at Kade. " Ugh fine whiney baby." Kade whispered back. He let go of Riley's head, carefully helping Connor readjust how he was carrying her. I Kade walked over, and took me from Troye.  Closed my eyes, being "asleep" again, and once I knew the transfer was over, I open them lightly again.

The disappointment on Troye's face made me feel like a bullet went through my heart.  It killed me, to see the look, a way of explaining " I am, and maybe will never be, able to carry somebody from point a to point b, that is about 20 yards away. I am the most pathetic human, and I will always be." I opened my eyes wider, as tears were willing up. I tapped Kade on the arm, and I held my pointer finger to my mouth, and pointed at Troye.  He nodded, and began to act as if I was heavier than I am.

He looked over, and laughed a little, and continued to look straight ahead.  I fell asleep for real for about a minute, and then I woke up, fluttering my eyes as I did. I coughed, and Troye took me from Kade, and gave me the crutches in his hand. Apparently the visiting time ended 3 hours ago, and everybody was moved to the same room, where they gave the most of us leg casts, except Troye, who needed more x-rays, Riley and Connor, who had no need for them.  I looked straight ahead after I was standing, and the room was only about a yard away. I laughed and went in.

The nurse was in the room, and she looked very worried.  She gave the worst news I, and Troye might ever hear, besides a death.

" Oh there you are!  Troye we need you to sit on this cot, you need more x-rays. " I sighed, as well as Troye, as we thought there would be worse news. Then, that news came, and hit like lightning. " I'm so sorry for the bad news, but these x-rays are the last piece of information we will need. Troye, this x-ray session will tell us if you have gotten the chance of 10% of being a broken bone, or the 90% chance you have of being paralyzed forever." I heard this, and reacted as if it was Troye's, Riley's, Connor's, or Kade's death note. I collapsed onto the floor, and started bawling.

To me, it was all my fault. I urged him that night to go surfing. I wasn't able to protect myself. If it wasn't for me, he would be fine.

Little did I know, he thought the opposite. He saw me bawl, and he saw Kade and Connor pick me up and sit me in the hospital cot, and try to calm me down. He saw the calming not work, and Riley waking up. He saw Riley call Avery, my closest friend who was on a vacation in New Zealand. He saw all of it.  He saw the panic attack I was having, and thought " Its all my fault. She will never be happy if I land the 80%. All because of me. I did go surfing. I tried to save her, but I failed. She is alive, that's good. She will never be happy, that is the worst thing I've ever heard. And my girlfriend died 3 years ago! Why me? Why her? Why us?" A tear rolled down his cheek, as he got rolled away.
