The music played in my earplugs. I jumped up in the air, and tried to spin in the air. When pain flashed through my leg, and I landed on the ice, stumbled and fell. I sat up again, straight away. I could see blood dripping from my right leg to the ice.
"Oh, crap." I whispered when I saw where the blood came from. The blade on my left skate had cut right through my tights, and deep into the leg. I wasn´t an expert, but even I saw that it needed stitches. I stood up again, and skated to the bench, were I had left my sweat pants and my shoes. The skating hall was empty, so no one wondered why I was limping so badly. I was grateful for that, the only thing I needed right now, was to safely get to the hospital. This lay just about a mile away.
I pulled my sweat pants over my tights, and switched my skates to my shoes. Then I hung my skates over my shoulder and started to walk. Two jumps on my left leg, one on my right, two on my left… It worked out more than half the way, when I stumbled and fell to the ground on the roadside. I hoped that no one would drive pass, before I got up. But before I stood on my own two feet, I could hear a car coming closer, I looked up, and saw a black car braking just in front of me. Then a man, I recognized as Dr. Carlisle Cullen from the city hospital came running.
"What happened here?" He squatted down next to me.
"Cut my leg on the blade on my skate." I said. "I tried to get to the hospital. But it wasn´t as easy as I though it would be."
"Let me see." I pulled up my sweat pants up so he could see the gash.
"Yep, that definitely needs to be sewed up. If you want to, you can come with me, and I can do it in my office at home. It´s closer to drive there than to drive back to the hospital"
"Sure"
"Come on then." He laid his arm under mine, and helped me to stand up. When we sat in the car, and he had started to drive. He picked up his phone.
"Hi Edward" he said in his phone. "Is Jaz at home?.. Yes, I´m bringing a patients home, she needs stitches… yes, if you could just. Thanks." He hung up. He must have seen my glares because a few seconds later he said.
"One of my foster children,., Jasper, he doesn´t like blood. So, if he´s at home now, and see your leg, he´ll probably either faint or barf… or both." He laughed a little and I smiled, and looked out the window.
"Sorry…" Dr. Cullen began. "What did you say your name was?"
"Oh, sorry Dr." I began. "It´s Jamie sir, Jamie Dylan." Dr. Cullen nodded slightly, and then said.
"Well, I´m Dr. Carlisle Cullen, but don´t sir or doctor me, it´s Carlisle."
"Okay si… Carlisle"
"And we´re there." He drove onto a driveway in front of a big house, at the end of the road.
"Here" He held out his arm for support but I shook my head.
"It´s fine, I can walk on my own." I limped after Carlisle to the door, and inside.
"Everyone, this is Jamie Dylan." We walked into some sort or living room. "Jamie this is my wife Esme, and our foster children Alice, Bella, Nessie, Emmet, Alice and Rosalie. We have also got Edward and Jasper, who isn´t here right now." I nodded and repeated the names in my head, trying to memorize which one that had got which name. Alice stood up and came towards me. She stretched her arms out, probably to give me a hug. But that was definitely, not what I thought what I thought she would do.
"NO." I jumped backwards, and immediately, I ended up on the floor, with pain flashing through my leg again.
"Aoo," I whimpered quietly.
"You´re ok? What happened?" Alice seemed terrified.
"I´m… I´m fine, just… just…" I didn´t really know what to say. I sat up.
"There´s no need to be afraid of Alice." Esme helped me to stand up. "She´s one of the most kind and caring persons I know."
"I´m not afraid of her." I said a bit shyly. "It´s just… I´m just… I was just… reminded of something."
"Wh…" Nessie looked curious. But Carlisle interrupted.
"You´ve got a really bad gash on your leg, "he laid his hand on my shoulder. "We better go and get it sewed."
"Yes, of… of course." I walked after Carlisle, and he held up a door for me. And closed the door behind us.
"Sit," he pointed at the desk.
"O…kay." I sat down on the desktop, while he got the equipment he needed. He sat down on his chair, and told me to put my leg on his lap.
"Your hands always this cold?" I asked, when he started sewing. He smiled a little.
"Yeah, kind of." I was curious, but I didn´t ask anything else, I didn´t wanna be too sneaky. And during the rest of the time, no one said a word.
When we came out in the living room again, Nessie sat by the piano, trying to play a song. She didn´t really hit the right notes, and a man, I hadn´t seen before sat beside her. Trying to show her the right ones.
"Can I try?" I asked without thinking. I regret it straight away. Who was I? A stranger coming to their house, and ask if she could play the piano. The man turned around.
"Sure," he stood up. "I haven´t seen you here before. I´m Edward."
"Jamie, but… I… I probably should go now." I headed towards the door.
"You can´t go without playing the piano." Edward said. "Come on, we´ll listen."
"I probably…"
"Oh please, pleaeaease" Nessie showed me a big smile.
"I can´t say no when you´re looking at me like that." I smiled and sat down by the piano. "This is my favorite song." I laid my hands on the piano and started playing.
So... yeah, as I´ve told you, English is not my first language. I´m from Sweden. So if you see any grammar faults or something else like that. Please tell me, it´ll help me to get better. The song that Jamie had in her earplugs in the beginning was Total eclipse of the heart by Bonnie Tyler. :) Please review, it makes my day.
