Chapter 5

When the results came back we had discovered that finny's leg had been shattered from the fall off the tree. "I couldnt go on hearing about it much longer"(53). A lot of people have come up to me asking about finny's injuries but no one thought that it was my fault. I think I might have done it on purpose and dont know what I was thinking at all. Latley I have been sitting in my room thinking of what has happened and it has really been getting to me latley. One reason is becasue I can not see finny because no one is alowed into the infirmary. I decided to try on finny's shirt shoes and jeans and I saw him in me. It was actually kind of scary. After Chapel Dr. Stanole told me that " He could use a visitor or two now, after these very nasty few days"(55). I was so estatic that I could finally talk to my best friend again and talk over what had happened. The good news was that he would be able to walk again. But of course what came along with the good news was the worst I had ever expected. Finny wouldn't be able to ever play sports again. I could not feel any worse when I had heard this. Sports was finnys life no matter what happened he could always turn to sports, but now I have taken it away from him. I could not stand it " I burst out crying into my hands"(56). I cried infront of everyone including Phineas and the Doctor. I was so afraid that finny would blame me for the accident. So instead of brining it up I asked what he remembered and he said he only knew that somthing made him fall. I felt a lot of relief at this point. I told him that I tried to grab him but he fell way to fast for me to react quick enough. He told me that he thought that I had done it but then apologized for even thinking it. Then I decided to tell him but just as I started Doctor Stanole walked in and had to move him. The vacation had started and finny went back to his house in Boston and I went back to the south for a few months. When we returned I decided I had to tell finny. So I did but this enraged finny in disbelief.
