Re: ...continued from up top
Ella nodded at Matt's question. "Yeah, she's a friend," she said softly. "I think I'm okay...maybe a cracked rib and some cuts but otherwise, I'm okay."
When Chelsea started speaking, Ella breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh thank God...keep talking to me, okay Chelsea?" Ella felt her heart clench at Chelsea's request. "Of course I'll hold your hand...I won't let go. Now you just gotta stay awake for me. Think you can do that?"
Ella glanced worriedly at Matt. "You think I should go find the person who got the braces? Chelsea needs to be moved now."
