the snap of a bone

the snap of a bone

Let me take you back 6 months ago. I was at my friends house and she was sitting on the side of her deck railing. (It is wooden and thick so you are supposed to) We were about to do the try not to laugh challenge with water in our mouths and her brother wanted to play. Gemma didn’t want luke to play so she said no. Luke didn’t like that so he walked up to gemma and pushed her. She fell off the deck and onto the grass about 1.5m below. Gemma’s arm was really hurt I had never heard her like that before. I wanted to help but I didn’t know how to. At that moment her parents walked in, her brother was sent to his bedroom and Gemma’s mum asked me what happened. I was shaking so hard so I told her exactly what happened. Gemma’s dad kept saying it’s not broken, it’s not broken but she couldn’t move it. We all helped put it in a sling and I went home. The next day gemma told me about her evening and after a week of waiting for results we found out she needed A LOT of surgery because she had 2 bones broken and her elbow was displaced. She was out for the whole netball season until the last 2 games.
