When i remembered what had happened that morning, I had woken up in hospital. It must have been night time because Josh was sleeping beside me. He was untouched, just a few cuts and bruises. Then a blood curdling scream filled the room around me. Scout. Then i remembered. I had been carried away to hospital in an ambulance with Josh, and Jodie and poor Denzil in another. When we reached the hospital, i was taken straight to a surgery ward where the doctors checked ma legs and told me ma nightmare. They wont work no more, they say. And Scout was having her arm sealed over as it was badly sliced open. They were amputating it off but they had no anesthetic at this small scottish hospital. So I'm in a wheelchair, Scout has one arm, Denzil is dead, Phoenix has a broken leg and Josh has nothing. The smoke, the fire, the crash itself, you would have thought it would leave a mark. Just cuts and bruises.
