"Excuse me I got a call saying that my daughter was in the emergency room. I'm Lynn Johnson. Her mother." She says it so sweetly but she's just a bitch.
"Alright ma'am just sign in here and take a seat in the waiting room. Oh wait! I also need you to fill out these forms about your daughter, so we have the information we need. Thanks!" She hands her a clipboard with a bunch of papers on it.
"Alright thank you." She is such faker.
She's also walking into the waiting room. Which I am are currently sitting in. I'm talking to myself now great. When she gets there, I'm hoping she won't sit next to me because she's really mean.
"Excuse me may I sit here?" She asks me.
I look up at her and she registers my face, "What? Oh yeah. Sure"
She sits down and looks at me, "Are you here to see my daughter, Lindsey?"
"U-um yes ma'am. I was the one who called to get her help." I hate stuttering. Absolutely hate it.
"That was very good of you dear. Thank you very much for caring enough about Willow to do that." She sounds so fake I hate it.
Just then our new friends come in. They see us, say they're with us, and sign in. They walk towards us just as Willow's mother finishes the paperwork.
���Are you boys here to see my daughter as well?" She asks and they nod but Alexander just seems to only be able to hold an expression between a glare and a scowl.
"Lindsey! What happened. Is Willow okay?" Jackson voices their panicked thoughts.
"She's going to be fine guys." I try to reassure them.
They all sit down.
Then Jackson looks at me, "You said something in your last text about bullies?"
"Her bullies to more specific." Jordan corrects him.
"Yeah. Willow is bullied at school." I say like it's the most obvious thing in the world.
"She had an encounter a week ago. And an encounter today. That's why we're in the hospital. It was a group of people actually." I say.
They look at me expectantly, "What?"
"Tell us who it was!" They demand.
"Oh! Well it was a group of four people. Two guys. Two girls. The guys are Daniel and Derrick. The girls are Heather and Alexis." I tell them, "They've been Willow's bullies since she moved here."
"But why Willow? She's so sweet and innocent." Dylan asks confused.
"Because when Willow moved here, she was so nice to everyone and always a good student. She never got in trouble; she was the teachers favorite student always. Then at lunch on her first day everyone wanted to sit with her, but she didn't sit with any of them. She sat with a girl that was sitting all by herself." Tears in my eyes now I continue, "everyone thought it was so nice that she was doing that, so they left it alone and stuck with sitting at their own tables and talking about the new girl. Everyone loved her only a select few hated her and that was just because she was all anyone would talk about. Those people were Daniel, Derrick, and Heather. Alexis just grew to hate her over the years."
"Lindsey are you okay?" Jordan asks. I shake my head and he wrap an arm around my shoulders.
"Don't worry she'll be okay Lindsey." He tries to be reassuring.
And so we wait.

"Excuse me? Um visitors for…. Willow Johnson?" I open my eyes and look at the nurse.
"That's us." Jackson says getting up with others.
"Is Willow okay?" I ask.
"Yes she just needed a little operation. She just woke up a little while ago. Come, I'll show you to her room." She waves us over.
So we follow her down the halls towards Willow's room. When we get there the nurse tells us that they gave Willow pain medication so she may fall asleep at some point during our visit.
"Oh and she'll be able to go to school on Monday so tell her mother when you're in there. That woman scares me. Poor child has to live with Satan's wife." Again what is it with women and muttering things if you say them loud enough for people hear!
"Thank you, ma'am." I say.
She nods and walks back down the halls the way we came.
I open the door and we all walk in. I see Willow's mom in a chair next to the bed but she's blocking our view of Willow. We walk closer and her mother turns around to look at us.
"Ah I was wondering when they would let you come in here," she gets up and gestures at me, "come sit here."
I'm thoroughly surprised since I know she hates me, but I do what she wants anyways because I don't want to anger her. She's scary enough on her own without the anger. I'll admit it she scares the living crap out of me.
As I walk over, I can see Willow. She looks up at me and smiles. And unlike a lot of her other smiles this one is a real genuine smile.
I smile back and take a seat. Then her mother walks up to me and whispers in my ear, "I don't know what happened and I don't really care. Make sure she gets home, or she'll have more than a concussion."
I nod and she stands up and puts a hand on my shoulder and says a little louder for everyone to hear, "Take good care of her Lindsey. I know you will." And then walks out of the room.
I turn back to Willow, "How are you feeling?" I ask.
"Better. Thanks for getting me. I thought I was going to die out there. But you heard me and saved my life." She says gratefully.
"I hardly doubt I saved your life Willow." It sounded ridiculous! How could I have saved her life?!
"But you did. The doctors all said if I got here any later than I did I would have most likely died of blood loss." Well that answers my question.
"Willow who did this to you? I thought I saw Heather, Alexis, Derrick, and Daniel running away but I wanna make sure." Lindsey says with her hands on her hips.
"Yeah it was them." She says.
"How did this happen anyway?" Jordan asks her.
"Yeah give us the entire story Willow." Alexander says.
Willow sighs and looks at me, "Alright. You know how I was at the table at lunch and I said I was going to do something and would be right back? Well it was because I got this text from an unknown number on my phone. So I went to go check it out y'know? I thought, maybe someone had the wrong number or something. When I got to the back of the school Daniel pinned me against the wall. Then they started beating me up. Daniel punched me first in the stomach which made me sink to the ground. Then the girls were kicking me all over the place and it hurt more because they were wearing heels. Then Derrick kicked me in the stomach again because I was trying to get up. I fell and landed painfully on my arm and hand. Then one or both of the girls kicked me in the head. Then they both screamed at the sight of blood coming out of my head. The guys cussed and they all ran off." She takes a deep breath at the end there.
"And then I found you." I say and she nods her head.
I grab her hands to make sure she's actually here and alright.
"Don't worry Willow you're safe now and you'll heal just fine." I reassure her.
She takes a deep breath, "You're right Lindz. Everything is fine." She smiles.
Then the doctor comes in and asks us to leave so she can check Willow's injuries. So we get up and leave. Or should I say everyone else leaves. At the last second, I give Willow a tight, not so tight hug before leaving, glad my best friend was okay.
