Chapter 12: Close Ties
Tripping outside the cafeteria and rolling down a concrete staircase because someone intentionally placed their foot on her way. When Evelyn realized what happened to her, she found herself at the bottom of the stairs, feeling a pain she recognized from the first time she’d broken her other arm.
Two adults rushed to her, pushing the kids that gathered around out of the way, and one of them lifted her up and carried her to the complex’s clinic. The adults who had brought her in were cafeteria workers.
“Evelyn! What happened to you?” the doctor asked, but Evelyn couldn’t respond. She was scared and in pain, and just started to cry.
“Can you please do me a favor and call the social worker here? Her office is at the end of the hall to your right once you exit this room.”
Evelyn was still crying but the doctor examined her to evaluate if anything was broken. Once the social worker was notified, she ran towards the doctor’s office and entered the room in a hurry.
“It looks like her left arm is broken”, the doctor told the social worker as soon as he saw her. When Evelyn heard that, she burst into tears because that was her dominant arm, as the doctor proceeded.
“We could do the x-rays to be certain but we don't have the capability to put a cast on if necessary. Evelyn needs to go to a hospital.”
The clinic couldn’t help her but they gave her medicine for the pain and put her arm in a sling.
