I found out I had 3 broken toes, 1 dislocated toe and 5 fractures in my foot. So they had to do emergency surgery on me, which was so scary because I had never had surgery before. I was saying goodbye to everyone and getting hugs and when Eric gave me a hug he said "I'm so sorry this happened to you, it's all my fault." and hearing this broke my heart. As I replied "You are my hero, you saved my life, it's not your fault." As they pushed me away I cried, think of all the good and bad things that could or will happen. It was about 2 hours later, I finally woke up from surgery and was in a recovery room having tests done on me. About 15 minutes later they took me to my room where my family was because they were all happy to see me, while they were all giving me hugs I realized Eric still had a sad look on his face and worry on his face. So I told my brother that you are my hero, that you saved my life, that you were both there and everything is okay. When my phone was given back to me, I received so many more texts from everyone I didn't like or who weren't my friends and some family members. As I read them, I wondered why I think they hate me or why I don't love them when they are there for me. And since that night, I realize that all the people I judge become my friends and help me a lot.
