He Favored Her, I Left for Good

My best friend called an ambulance and got me to the hospital in record time. Aside from the scrapes and bruises, the real damage was in my lower back. The nerves were shot. All the conservative treatments I'd been doing before? Completely useless now. From down the hall, I could hear Sienna's voice, all teary and pathetic. "I don't know how it happened, I swear! I didn't mean to, Caleb. "I was just passing by the lecture hall to drop something off for a friend, and then out of nowhere that girl just charged at me. "Caleb, it hurts so bad. I'm all alone here at the hospital, and I'm so scared." That sniffling, whimpering mess of a voice was grating on my last nerve. I just lay there on my bed, waiting for the doctors to come in with my treatment plan. "Alright, it's okay." That voice—so familiar. My stomach dropped. "It wasn't even your fault. And look, she's fine, right? "Nobody died. If they try to pin this on you and shake you down for money, I'll help you sue them for extortion." I heard it loud and clear. The guy on the other end of that call was my boyfriend, Caleb Foster. And the girl who pushed me down those stairs was a girl in his lab, Sienna Blake. Me? I was just the unlucky one who got caught in the middle of this whole mess.
