Everything was suddenly going wrong. The day had started perfect, her sister Chele had been spending the week with her and her family. It had been a whole year since they had been together and the week had been perfect up until an hour ago when they came upon the detour because of an accident. "We should be at Monica's by now. She's probably freaking and calling Mom. I can see it now. I never should have trusted you girls alone, I should have driven you." Jessy complained. "Oh chill sis, It's not our fault that semi jack knifed and there are chickens all over the interstate and now the frigging cops and their stupid detour have us lost. We still have plenty of time, we'll get to Monica's and to the concert. We have to I'm not missing HANSON because of the State of Indiana, I'll sue first." Chele yelled. "Sis that said entering Illinois, maybe we ought to find a phone and call Mon and have her give us directions." Jessy said. The girls drove in search of a phone but found the alternate route they had seen on the map and were elated. "Here we come Mon" Jessy yelled. "Here we come HANSON." they both screamed as Chele entered the freeway and was headed North finally. There was hardly any traffic so Chele stepped on the gas and the black '98 Mustang GT convertible flew like a stealth bomber, their blonde hair trailing out behind them. The CD was cranked to the max, "Live from Albertane" was filling their minds. The two were singing along at the top of their lungs, Chele was flying down the center of the highway there was so little traffic. In the far distance she had spotted two buses, one behind the other and had made a mental note to pull the rest of the way in the passing lane in probably five minutes at the speed she was flying. "Shit why's he passing now." Chele said slowing because the buses were side to side blocking the highway. They soon found the bus drivers had their minds on other things, that's why they didn't notice the car behind them. Chele jockied back and forth trying to catch someone's eye. But neither bus moved. A cute little blonde girl, younger than their littlest brother Sam (Sam's ten) maybe 8 or possibly 9, in the back window of the bus and she waved. The girls waved back and Jessy grabbed a sign from the back seat that said HANSON ROCKS OUR WORLD and lifted it to the little girl. She laughed at the sign, and put up one finger and they assumed it meant she would be right back. Chele decided to check mirrors again and as she moved to the center of the highway, "Splatt! "Splatt! Splatt!" and Jessy screamed. Chele braked fast as she could no longer see through the windshield they had been bombarded with water and water ballons. Jessy had taken a direct hit to the face. Chele wasn't sure if she was crying in pain or anger. She pulled to the shoulder and noticed the little girl and what she assumed was her mother with looks of horror on their face. "Jessy, Jessy are you hurt?" Chele screamed as she brought the car to a halt, turning on the flashers. Jessy finally pulled her hands away from her face and a bright red mark was on her forehead. She was drenched from head to knees. Chele was drenched from her head to her waist. As she turned she saw the standing water in the back seat and the ruined posters. "NOOO Damn Morons" she screamed. "Chele that not fair to Morons" Jessy said through her tears. "Man you look like a wet dog." Chele laughed. "I love you too." Jessy said and she started shaking like a dog water flying everywhere. Chele jumped from the car to escape the latest shower. "Do that outside the car, your mother is going to ground us for the rest of the summer. I'll be ungrounded just in time to go home. Shit. Shit. Shit. Pop the trunk let's see if there is water in there. First the detour now this, are you trying to tell me something big guy." Chele said unaware the buses had stopped and backed up and the guilty parties were listening. "Jessy interested in less wet clothes, even the trunk has water in it. What the hell were they thinking." Chele said. "We honestly thought we were alone on the highway, we didn't see, you were so sorry." a stranger said. "Ahhhhh!! You scared the shit out of me. Jesus what do you have against us." she yelled and collapsed to the ground, curling into a ball and crying. She felt the warm dry towel placed over her, "Please believe me we didn't mean for this to happen, I'm sorry I scared you on top of it, don't cry, I'm sorry." he apologized. Chele heard a second voice, "Man she's shivering. Go get a blanket. What a mess. Are you okay?" "You leave my sister alone, Haven't you done enough already." Chele screamed wrapping the towel around her and jumping up pushing past the person who had spoken to her and racing to Jessy, she opened her door. "Hey sis you okay? How's you're face? You're freezing here have my towel too. Jessy are you okay? Jessy you can't sleep what if you have a concussion. Jessy wake up. Jessy." Chele yelled and finally patted her face. "Ouch it hurts. Don't touch it idiot. You try getting smacked in the face at 70. Oh god I'm going to be sick." Jessy said. "Jessy out of the car, come on get out of the car. Mom is going to ground us for water, you puke in the car and we won't get to go to Georgia together. That's it get out of the car. Over here. Let it blow" Chele said. "Very funny, I hate to puke. Oh God why me. Rraalph! I don't feel good. The world is spinning." Jessy said. "Jessy Jesus get in the car I'm taking you to a hospital. Sit down that's it. Feet in. Buckle up Jessy. Get the hell out of the way." Chele screamed pushing someone out of here way, slamming the trunk and racing to the driver's seat starting the car and peeling out. "I hope you're happy Assholes." Chele screamed racing away to the next exit. She pulled off and the first person she came to she screamed that she needed a hospital, a kid jumped in the back seat throwing the signs out and gave Chele directions to the hospital. Chele pulled up at the emergency entrance and told the attendant what happened and they came with a guerney and wheeled Jessy in to the back. A doctor came out looking for her because Jessy was unconscious. They called Mom together and told her what had happened and where they were. She put them in touch with Jessy's doctor and headed out to make it to them, possibly two hours. Chele was panicking, "Can I talk to her, maybe she'll wake up if I talk to her." she asked and they agreed it might be good, there was nothing they could do without permission, she was a minor, and the State couldn't declare here a ward of the court because she wasn't a resident. Chele sat at her side, talking to her non-stop, patting her hand, holding ice on where she was struck. "Dear God let her be all right. She's hasn't done anything to deserve this. She's just a kid still, so am I. Why is this happening to us?" Chele cried hugging her sister. "Chele?" Jessy said "I'm going to be sick." she finished. Chele grabbed a pan for her to puke in. "Hey somebody she's awake." Chele hollered out. "Scared us all sis. Mom's on her way, she should be here in an hour, little less, you've been out a while. How do you feel?" Chele asked. "Like I got run over by a bus." Jessy said. "Funny, not Jessy." Chele said. "Don't take this wrong but you don't look like shit no more. Color is coming back to your face." Chele said, "Wonder where the nurse is? I buzzed, hollered, buzzed. You okay enough for me to go see!" Chele asked and headed to the nurse's station. "It's just the kids, don't bother, can't do anything until the parent is here, so don't waste your time." the nurses said. "I don't believe this bull shit." Chele said and headed back to Jessy. "You won't believe this because you're a minor and they can't make you a ward of the court because you not a resident that policy dictates you're on your own. They don't bother to come in here, they can't do anything until the parent is here. How you feeling?" Chele asked. "I'm hungry. Let's go find something to eat, sssssh! Let's go" Jessy said. "Wait a minute." Chele says and taking the buzzer and places it between the night stand and bed frame so the button is pushed and buzzing. Let's blow." Chele said. "Enough with the barfing jokes." Jessy laughed and they snuck out. At the parking lot they hopped in the car and took off waving to the attendant as they left, "All better thank you." Jessy said. "Mickie D's" Jessy screamed and they hit the drive thru, headed back and parked near the entramce to the hospital to catch Mom. They had almost finished their breakfast when they saw the van and flagged Mom over. After explaining what had happened to them, Mom decided to get even big time and sent the girls to Monica's with orders not to draw attention to themselves and to call her on her cell phone once they arrived safe.
