Chapter 3

I had chopped a part of my finger off! Of course, nobody paid any attention to me but Nick who was right there. I started gushing blood. Nick grabbed a cloth and gave it to me to put on my finger.

"Here. Let me take you to the nurse!" He said, leading me to the office of the one formally known as 'nurse'.

"What happened?!" she exclaimed.

"She chopped some of her finger off!" Nick yelled. I couldn't speak, the pain was too much. I wasn't the one to scream, so I just let tears stream down my face.

"You'll need stitches. I can give you some. I have to give you a shot so it won't hurt." She quickly gave my finger a shot with the stuff that makes you numb. It hurt so much! I scrunched up my face so hard and more tears streamed down. Then I felt something on my hand. Nick had grabbed my other hand to comfort me. Even though he just met me, he couldn't stand seeing me like this. I looked at him and he smiled at me. I suddenly got nervous and my stomach felt weird. The pain in my finger slowly disappeared, and the nurse started sewing up what was left of my skin.

When it was over, the nurse gave me some pills for when it starts hurting again. Nick and I left, Nick still holding my hand.

"Are you alright?" he asked.
"Yes, I'm fine now." I said. "Thanks for helping me."
"You're welcome. Oh. You never told me your name."
"Keila."
"That's a pretty name. I suits you." I felt myself blush a little.
"So I'll see you later then?" He asked. I nodded. He walked away and I went back to my cabin. I collapsed on my bed and sighed. What had just happened?
