"He's still there," Maggie whispered twenty minutes later while peeking out the small door window. She turned to look at the clock. "You dad should be home by now." He was forty minutes late.
"Maybe I should go and talk to him?" Emily said. "He really wasn't the one who called me Trailer Trash."
Maggie smiled because she knew Emily really liked him. "Maybe you should."
Brandon was nervous waiting for Emily's father but he felt it was the only way to let them both know his feelings. He heard the door open and turned expecting to see Maggie but saw Emily instead. "Emily."
Emily closed the door and sat down next to him. "So welcome to my Trailer."
"Emily I don't care where you live or what you live in," Brandon said turning to face her. "Bud was just joking and being a jerk." He reached over and took her hand in his but they didn't talk for over a minute. Suddenly the door opened and Maggie ran out.
"Emily...the hospital is on the phone! Your dad had an accident!"
"OH GOD!" Emily cried as she stood and ran inside. Brandon and Emily ran in behind her. She listened on the phone before hanging up. "Will you drive me to the hospital?" She asked Brandon.
"Yes of course," Brandon said.
"I'll go tell my parents," Maggie said. "We will meet you at the hospital." She took off down the dirt road.
"Come in I need to get changed," Emily said to Brandon. She ran into the door and down the narrow hallway to her bedroom.
Brandon moved inside and surveyed the inside of a mobile home for the first time. It was quite small but very clean and modern. A large TV sat on the one side of the living area that was positioned at the front of the trailer. He stood in the kitchen and peeked down the hallway at Emily's doorway. She leaned her face out. "You can come back here if you want."
Brandon moved down the hall and into her doorway. He froze when he saw her only wearing panties and a bra.
"Don't act as if you've never seen me like this before," she said as she pulled on a tee shirt and her jeans. After slipping on her new running shoes she moved up to him and lightly kissed him. "I've missed you."
"Me too," he smiled as he pulled her softness into his hard body. "We...uh...better get to the hospital."
"Oh God I hope my Dad is OK," Emily said with tears falling from her red eyes.
"He will be," Brandon said to comfort her but really didn't know for sure. She took his hand and led him out to his car. They sped down the dirt road to the blacktop road by the school and then up the hill. Fifteen minutes later he parked the car by the small hospital and they ran to the front desk.
"My daddy is here. He was in an accident," Emily said to the young black woman behind the desk. "His name is Jim Miller."
The girl glanced down the list of patients on her computer monitor. "He's still in surgery. There's a waiting room down that hallway. Go as far as you can and make a right."
"Thank you," Emily said clutching Brandon's hand tightly. "Oh God he's in surgery." They ran down the hallway and found the waiting area that was empty. She peeked through a door window and saw a nurse standing by the doorway. She pushed it open. "Will you help me?"
"Maybe...how can I help?"
"My daddy had a vehicle accident and is in surgery. I need to know how serious it is. His name is Jim Miller."
"Let me see what I can find out. Please have a seat in the waiting room." She turned and moved down the hallway.
Emily moved back into the waiting room and hugged Brandon. "Thank you for bringing me here." More tears flowed from her baby blue eyes. He wiped them off and gently kissed her forehead.
A few minutes later the door opened and the nurse walked out. "He has a head injury and a broken leg. I'm not sure how serious they are. I'm sorry I can't be of more help. Someone will let you know as soon as they can."
After she left Brandon led her to the small sofa and they sat down. His strong arms held her close while she still gripped his hand tightly. "Do you want to call anyone?" Brandon asked. He knew she did not have her cell phone.
Emily thought of her mother. "No...Maggie will tell Aunt May." More tears flowed from her eyes and Brandon hugged and lightly kissed her again. He prayed her father was OK. A few minutes later his cell phone rang and it was his mother.
"I'm at the hospital. Emily's dad was in an accident. I'm with her now," he whispered. "We don't know how bad it is yet." About that time Maggie and her mother ran into the waiting area.
"How's Uncle Jim?" Maggie asked.
"We don't know how bad it is. He has a head injury and a broken leg." Brandon answered. He stood up and reached out to shake Maggie's mother's hand. "Hi...I'm Brandon."
"I've heard about you," Sally Miller said. "Thank you for bringing Emily down here and staying with her." She sat down on the other side of Emily and hugged her. "Don't worry he will be OK."
Ten minutes pasted that seemed like an hour when they heard someone else walking down towards the waiting area. Emily glanced up to see her mother.
"Emily." Janet Miller had not seen her daughter in about five months and was shocked to see how much she had grown and developed.
Emily didn't acknowledge her but instead stood and moved past her to go the restroom. Maggie ran to join her.
"How is he?" Janet asked her sister-in-law.
"We are not sure. They told Emily he has a head injury and a broken leg," Sally answered.
"Thank you for calling me."
She looked at Brandon. "Are you Emily's friend?"
"Yes Ma'am," Brandon answered. He could see just from this woman's appearance that she was Emily's mother.
"He's her boyfriend," Sally smiled.
"Really?" Janet said checking out his handsome appearance. "I didn't know she had one."
"I like your daughter very much," Brandon said.
"I guess we are both the same in that respect," Janet said sitting down. "Except she likes you back."
A well-dressed woman walked up to them. "Hello I'm Mrs. Anderson. Which one of you is the wife of Mr. Miller?"
"I am," Janet answered. "We are not living together but officially we are still married."
"I'm afraid we have a problem with his medical insurance. It seems he does not have the extra coverage for a hospital stay and most of the surgery."
"Well what does it cover?" Janet asked shaking her head.
"Just the doctor's care and medicine," the woman answered. "We will need some assurance that the costs will be covered."
"Or what? You will stop the surgery?" Janet snapped back. "My husband may be fighting for his life in there and you are asking me about paying his bills. I think you better get out of my face right now!"
The woman took a few steps back and then hurried back down the hallway.
