"Oh FUCK." I hissed and held my arm as Sam and Colby came running in. "Vi! Oh my god I'm so sorry." Daisy said and ran over with genuine concern on her face. "Get away from me!" I screamed as Colby crouched down next to me.

"Holy shit! What happened?!" Colby yelled as Sam shined his flashlight on my arm. "Oh my god, we have to get her to a hospital." Sam said as I hissed in pain. I was honestly afraid to move, since I was holding my arm together.

I knew I needed to get to the hospital so they could set it and probably cast it but I also knew that it would be hundreds of dollars since my insurance wasn't the best.

"No. I c-can't afford it." I said through my teeth as Colby rubbed my back. "Don't be fucking ridiculous, Violet. Even I can tell that it's broken." Colby said as he reached over to help me hold it steady.

I wimpered and looked up at him as the shooting pain filled my arm so bad it almost made my stomach hurt.

"We'll pay for the hospital bill, now come on." Sam said and grabbed the backpack. "No, I couldn't ask that of you guys, you've done enough." I said as Colby helped me up.

Daisy watched me as I raised my brows at her, clenching my jaw. "You're not arguing, come on." Sam said as he led the way out of the room.

"I'm sorry, V..." Daisy said as I shook my head. "Don't talk to me." I said then leaned into Colby more as he wrapped his arm around me.

We slowly made our way upstairs, "I'm serious, you guys aren't paying." I said as Sam pulled out his phone to call an Uber. "Stop it, Vi." Colby mumbled as I looked down at my arm again, since the lighting was better.

You could definitely tell it was broken because my bone was pushing against the skin. I would assume that the radius was snapped from how I had fallen.

"Fuck." I said as the Uber came. "You're okay, you're being so strong." Colby cooed as Daisy stood off to the side, chewing her lip.

I could tell she felt bad because of how she was acting, but I didn't care. She showed me how important I really was to her.

The Uber came after a few minutes and we all piled in. Colby sat in between Daisy and I in the backseat so he could help keep my arm steady. I decided I needed to see it without my sleeve in the way, so I carefully rolled it up.

It was already bruising and swelling really bad, making it look worse than it actually was

"Jeeze, Vi..this looks really bad." Colby said as I shrugged. "Yeah, it doesn't look great. It's probably not as bad as it looks though." I said and gritted my teeth against the pain of the car bouncing down the gravel road.

"My guess is a snapped radius, they'll just set it then cast it. I'll be fine in like 6 to 8 weeks." I said with a sigh then looked up at his shining eyes. "You're really smart." He said as I chuckled. "Kinda." I said then rested my head against his chest.

When we got to the nearest hospital we got out of the car. "Is weed legal here? I need weed right now." I said as Sam laughed "I don't think so. We can get some alcohol though." He said as we walked to the front desk.

"Checking in?" The nurse at the desk asked as I nodded. "Yeah." I said then looked down at my arm which Colby was holding steady.

"Okay, just fill out this paper work." She said then handed Daisy the clipboard. "Give me that." I said and took it from her as she gasped. "I can fill it out for you." She said quietly as I sighed, "fine." I said then walked with the guys to go sit down.

I was irritated for what she said to me, but I wasn't mad at her for breaking my arm. I knew better than to try and catch myself. I should have just let myself fall.

We sat in the waiting room for about an hour before a nurse finally called out my name. "You can only bring one person back." She said as I chewed my lip and looked at my options.

I knew I wanted to pick Colby but I didn't think it was a good idea. I needed to talk to Sam about all of this, since I knew he would have some good advice for me.

"Sam." I said as he scrunched his brow. "What?" He asked as I nodded slightly. "Sam, will you come back there with me?" I asked as he nodded.

Colby looked just a little hurt, but I think he understood because he just carefully put my arm in Sam's hands then smiled encouragingly at me.

I smiled back then turned to go to the back with Sam and the nurse. I didn't mind hospitals too much since I worked at one, but I didn't like being a patient. There was something so vulnerable about it.

"Okay, so we are obviously going to have to schedule you for an x-ray, so let me do that then I'll be back to ask you all of those boring questions. Hang tight." She said as I laid down, propping my arm up onto some pillows.

"So...are you going to tell me what's going on?" Sam asked as I nodded. "Yeah..I need your advice and you seem like a good enough guy who would have some good advice for me." I said as he chuckled. "Alright, shoot." He said and leaned back into the chair he was sitting in.

"I'm falling for Colby and he's falling for me, but Daisy is practically in love with Colby. She's my best friends and has been for my entire life but she's been getting mad because I'm 'flirting with Colby' but it's because we have feelings for eachother." I said and stopped to take a breath, then continued.

"So she's been huffing and puffing and acting like a child any time he shows even an ounce of an interest in me and we fought and she pushed me. I went to catch myself and then this happened because I'm an idiot Sam. I'm a horrible friend and I'm an idiot." I said then leaned my head back in frustration.

"Okay..first of all you're not an idiot. Second of all, you can't help who you fall for. Colby told me about you two, but he didn't even have to. I could tell he was into from the moment he saw you." Sam said as I chewed on my lip.

"I don't think Daisy is a friend to you, if she can't accept that you are happy with someone then she isn't a friend. The fact she's acting like a child about it just shows that she's a spoiled brat who has always gotten what she wanted." Sam said causing me to gasp.

"She's never been like this before though. She's been a handful sometimes but this is next level...she's never hit me before." I mumbled and looked down at my mangled and bruised arm.

"I can tell she likes to be the star and the fact that you did your research and you are more into the investigation is getting under her skin." Sam said as I sighed. "Yeah...I just don't want to hurt her. She really likes him, Sam." I said and chewed on my lip more.

"But Colby doesn't like her, V. Colby likes you and although I don't think it's the best idea, I don't think you throw away something that makes you happy just to protect someone that doesn't care about you." He said as my eyes welled with tears.

"You're right." I whispered as the door opened. "Okay! Let's get this process rolling." The nurse said then sat down.

"Do you have any health problems we should know about?" She asked as I shook my head, "nope. Perfectly healthy. Yes, I drink, I partake in recreational drugs, I'm sexually active but not really recently, I have no allergies that I know of and no this isn't a domestic violence case." I said as she chuckled.

"You work in healthcare, don't you?" The nurse asked as I chuckled. "Yep." I said as she wrote everything down. "Alright, well I'll be back in a few minutes to get you for the x-ray then." She said then left the room.

She came back a few minutes later and wheeled me to the radiaction wing. I got my x-rays done then was brought back to the room I was in before.

"Do you think Colby is upset I chose for you to come back here with me?" I asked as soon as I sat on the bed again. "No, he's a pretty understanding. If anything he's mad you left him alone with Daisy." He said with a laugh.

"She's really not that bad when she's not acting like this." I said with a sigh. "You guys really have helped her through a lot. You're actually the reason she trusts men." I explained as his face softened.

"I like her, but I don't like how she's treating you." He said as the door opened. "Hey, Violet. We have your results." The doctor that was assigned to me said as he came in.

"You have a snapped radius, we're going to set it then get you in a cast. That sound good?" He asked as I nodded.

I knew it was going to be extremely painful so I reached my hand out to Sam. "Katrina won't be mad will she?" I asked as he chuckled and shook his head.

"Nope, she won't mind me helping out a friend."
