CONFUSED!

Crutches

Zeena's P.O.V

I woke up to find myself in a hospital room, again! Wasn't one trip to the hospital enough?

"How are you feeling?" Serena asked as she walked through the door.
"I f-feel absolutely normal" I said and sat up, "What's r-wrong w-with me?"
"Your condition has gotten worse. Your tumor is growing. The medication you've been taking is too weak but don't worry. The doctor prescribed stronger medication and you'll be back to normal soon." She said and the nurse walked in to check up on me.
"Were you worrying about something? It's what caused you to faint." The nurse said.
"Why a-am I s-still s-stammering?"
"You're just shocked. Your body has a different response to shock. Some people cry or scream or maybe even break things but you just stammer."

Wow! Now I'm a freak that stammers when in shock!

"Can I go home?"
"Sorry Jiyah..." before the nurse could say anything else, "Zeena" I said.
"Right, Zeena, you are going to have to stay here for tonight just so that we know everything fine."
"Why did my ankle break if I f-fell normally?"
"Your bones are getting weaker..."

Great! Now I'm fragile!

"She's fine right?" Serena asked.
"Absolutely miss Gemnay. I'm sorry but visiting hours are over."
"Okay I'll leave..." She said sadly.
"Serena wait!" I said and she turned around, "please give me my phone" and she handed it to me then left. There was no way I was going to survive the rest of the day without my precious phone!

Mike's P.O.V

"Do you think I should tell her or is it too soon?" I asked Ryan who was standing in my room, staring outside.
"You love her, don't you?" He responded.
"Yes a lot! I just don't have the guts to tell her I'm leaving a few days after Prom."
"You will tell her! I told Angelique how I felt, now it's your turn."
"Fine! I'll send her a message."

Zeena's P.O.V
TZZ! TZZ!

Mike: Hey! Can u meet me at the park in an hour?

Zeena: Nope... sorry :(

Mike: why not :(

Zeena: in hospital because of my ankle

I was not going to tell him that I have become fragile and I'm getting sicker!

Zeena: what did you want to tell me at school?

Mike: I need to tell you in person... I promise I'll tell you tomorrow after school. I've gotta run! Bye Zee Zee.

Zeena: okay... Bye!!

What is so important that he has to tell me in person! It's 8 o'clock, I should sleep...

***

Zeena: hey Mike won't be coming to school today... will meet you at your place at 4 :)

Mike: sure!! Feel better soon!

The nurse came to check up on me three times in the past hour! Each time she can everything was fine with me. I just want to go home.

"Can I go home yet?" I asked the nurse.
"Yes, I called someone to come get you."

A few minutes later Serena was here to fetch me. The nurse helped me stand up and handed me black crutchers. I hated the fact that I couldn't walk properly now. The surprising thing is that my ankle didn't hurt at all. Serena had to help me climb down the stairs. Yes, I know all hospitals have elevators, but I'm terrified of them. The one time I stepped into and elevator, as soon as the doors closed, I fainted!

"What time is it? My phone is dead." I asked.
"Almost four o'clock."
"Can you drop me at Mike's place?"
"Sure no problem."

DING DONG!

"Hey!" Mike said after he opened the door,"Come in".
"How's your ankle?"
"It's fine, no pain!" I said and sat on the couch bin the living room. We sat in silence for a long time...
"Do you wanna go for a walk?" He asked.
"Really?" I said and looked down at my ankle.
"Please, I'll carry you if you tired."
"Fine!" I knew he wouldn't take no for an answer so I just agreed. We walked to park which was about two minutes away from his house and sat under a tree on the bright green grass.
"So, Zeena. I was wondering whether you would like to go to prom with me?"

Yes! Finally! He asked. He actually asked! Be cool Zeena, be cool.

"Yeah, I'd love to" I said and smiled.
"And one more thing..." He said, then stood up and reached out his hand to help me up. He pulled me closer to him and didn't let go.
"Mike?" I said and looked right into his eyes. He pulled me even closer and kissed me! I wish that moment would have never ended. It felt like we were the only two people in the world.
Zeena, I'm... I'm in love with you" He said and smiled at me. I hugged him tightly and said "I feel the same way." I felt this strange feeling of extreme happiness and I had this weird feeling in my stomach, a good feeling though.
"That's what I've been wanting to tell you." "Oh I see... I need to get home before Serena kills me. She said I should be home before 6 because Mrs Gemnay isn't home and she's, you know, in charge" I said and we both started laughing.
"I'll drop you off."

KNOCK! KNOCK!

Why isn't anybody answering. I knocked again.
"Serena! Mona!" I yelled.
"Sorry! I was busy" Mona said when she finally opened the door. Something fell into the floor...
"What was that?" I shouted. And ran into the kitchen.
"Oops!" Serena said in a nervous voice.
"What happened here?" I asked. The kitchen was a mess. The floor was full of flour the was chocolate all over the table and Serena's clothes we all messed.
"Serena tried to bake again..." Mona said and started laughing. After a while I started laughing as well.
"We should clean this up. You can go change your clothes Serena."

Mona and I started cleaning the kitchen while Serena took forever to get cleaned up.

An hour later...
"Finally!" Mona exclaimed.
"That took forever! Where's Serena?"
"I think she's in the shower"
"Do you know how long it takes to get gum out of your hair?" Serena shouted as she walked Into the kitchen.
"I wouldn't know" I said and started laughing.
"How in the world did you get gum in your hair?" Mona asked.
"I really have no idea... What's the time?"
"Uhmm" I looked at my watch, "Almost nine o'clock."
"Okay good, Zeena I've got a 8 o'clock appointment for you tomorrow."
"For what?" I asked.
"Don't you want a prom dress? Now go get some rest. Both of you!" She said with a smile and walked away.
