Life in the city

2.) Sick in the head

It was another frustrating day for Carina. She was still having difficulty remembering anything. Her frustration grew further everytime someone declined her wish to meet her brother. She didn't care about her father, she wasn't interested in meeting the man who made her and her family's life a living hell. But Andrea? Where was Andrea?

"Miss Bishop! I was expecting to see Andy today." The nurse smiled and said as Maya walked in again the next day.

"Yeah, me too. But she had to go meet her and Vic's mother. She needs her support in this moment." Maya slightly smiled.

"How is she today?" Maya then asked the nurse about Vic.

"Oh she's doing quite well. Blood pressure looks good. The vitals all look normal and good actually. It's just a matter of when she wakes up now." The nurse said as she gave Maya a sympathetic look and left.

"Hey you." Maya said as she walked to Vic's side.

"How'd you sleep last night? Also, when I said you need to sleep more when you'd always be the last one to fall asleep at sleepovers, this is not what I meant." Maya said with a sad chuckle.

"Wake up, now. Your mum's worried. My mum's worried as well. Dad's miserable. Please come back to us, Hughie. I miss my best friend." She said as she placed a kiss on Vic's cheek.

The day went by incredibly slow. Carina was yet to decide whether she was joining therapy or not, although, she assumed it would be a shit show since it wasn't a personalised program.

"Baby, I'm gonna leave early. I got called into work, I'll see you tomorrow morning." Aldo kissed Carina's forehead yet again, making Carina flinch. She was visibly uncomfortable, however, he didn't care.

"Are you Italian?" She asked him as he was preparing to leave.

"Yes. I mean, my family is. I was born and brought up here, my Italian isn't that good to be very honest. But...te voglio bene." He giggled and said.

Carina wasn't laughing though; to her, it was stupid. She just squinted at him and he took it as his cue to leave.

"Urgh!!" Carina sighed a little loudly and in that very moment a nurse walked in.

"Woah, are you okay?" She asked Carina.

"Yeah, yeah I am. Am-am I allowed to take walks?" She asked hopefully.

"Sure you are. Though one of my colleagues or I would have to accompany you, but of course, you can take walks." The nurse explained.

"I want to get a coffee from the cafeteria and sit in the sun while drinking it." Carina said nonchalantly.

"I-I could bring you coffee here, Miss Carina." The nurse then suggested.

"You're ruining the whole vibe I had imagined in my head." Carina sighed.

"Alright, no worries. We can get you coffee from the cafeteria and then I can wheel you outside in the garden, where you can drink your coffee in peace." The nurse said, not wanting to piss Carina off any further. Carina's excitement was visible on her face.

"I would have to take permission from Dr. Bailey and Dr. Mark though." The nurse as she proceeded to check Carina's blood pressure. Carina just rolled her eyes at that statement.

The nurse was soon back with the information that Carina had gotten the permission to do so. The nurse had gotten a wheelchair for Carina, but Carina insisted that she'd let the nurse know if she's tired. She just wanted to walk for a bit.
