Chapter 5

When I woke up, I was in a hospital room. The doctor told me that I took a hard fall, and that I shattered my leg. I was feeling better and the doctor allowed visitors' to visit me, and Gene stopped by. Once he stopped by, I wanted to talk to Gene about the accident. Gene asked me about the accident and he asked me how I thought I fell off the tree. I told him that I probably lost my balance. I told Gene that as I was falling that I reached out to him, hoping that he would grab my hand. As I was falling, I really wanted Gene to grab my hand to prevent me from falling. Gene told me that he was trying to grab me as I was falling, but that he was unable to. Gene also asked me how I think I might have lost my balance, and I told him that he was probably the reason. Gene said that he was about to tell me some terrible news, However Dr. Stanpole walked in and sent Gene out. The next day, the doctor tells me that I will be going to be taken on an ambulance to Boston because he doesn't think I'm ok to have visitors. When I'm in the Boston hospital, Gene comes to visit me, I am very happy that Gene decided to visit. After I asked him about his summer, He tells me that he shook the branch so I fell, and I couldn't believe him. It really frustrated me when Gene told me this. After we sat there in silence for a while, I told Gene that I would return to Devon by thanksgiving.
