When he finished, the officer looked at him, put his hand on Aiden’s shoulder and said, “It sounds like your friend is very lucky to have someone like you who cares about her so much. Thank you for your cooperation, young man. We’ll do what we can to make sure she stays safe.â€?

Right about then, Aiden’s mom came back and told him Xailey was now in a room and was asking for him.

When he walked in he saw all the tubes they had hooked up to her. She saw the worried look on his face and she reassured him, “Don’t worry. They’re just pain killers. I’m fine, just a couple busted ribs and stuff.â€? He knew she was playing it down because his mom had filled him in, in the hallway. Minor concussion. 3 fractured ribs and severe bruising. Plus she suffered third degree burns on her right leg when the boiling tea water apparently fell on her. She was lucky she didn’t get a punctured rib or internal bleeding though.
