LEGS & FRAMES

CHAPTER SEVEN

Weeks went by. Time went by and slowly I retrieved my voice back and to be honest I have never been happier.
This means a lot to me as I had tons of  things to do with this voice , first being to tell a lie about what actually happened to Lexi and second being to tell my parents about the night that Tyler found me . And just to think about these things I get irritated , sad & anxious at the same time.

I called my Mom earlier in the morning when I was woken by a woman's cry along the corridor and I was so not bothered to go check out because the crying was loud and nearer as it was not echoing. I was not bothered because I know myself that I am emotional , I would find myself sobbing so hard.

The reason I called my Mom today was that I wanted her to bring my laptop plus it's been a long time being here so I have been lonely a lot of times and just can't help but stare at the flowers Tyler brought me. I mean they are pretty after all but  I need my laptop to check the mandatory few things like emails and stuff but to be honest I just miss YouTube a lot , my favourite YouTubers and I know I am behind with so many things. 

I quickly moved myself from the bed to the chair near the window to just check life outside. How are things , like for an example has there been any changes in the environment like the cutting down of trees or any stolen things. I guess that's how boring my life is here and I wonder when am I getting out. Like the thought of me to just look outside literally makes me aware how life is short , I mean a lot of things can happen in hours , minutes and seconds. Death can happen in minutes and seconds.

Soon the Doctor came in to update me on how I have been responding to antidepressants and he said I have been responding excellent and would like to release me soon.
"When are your parents coming to see you ?"
" Parent. I have one parent and she is coming today."
" Oh okay , please tell her to see me in my office when you're done with her there a few things I have to discuss with her, a'ght ?"
" Cool."

The Doctor left and it just struck my mind that I am about to leave this place and still don't know my Doctor's name , it's weird.
That I remember is that he never introduced himself to me , he always had this demeanor solemn face on him which makes it pretty hard for me to ask about his name tag nor his name. And what's worse is I never get to read his name tag , I never had. Queer right ? But I will next time when he comes to do the rounds.

Finally I got the information I been longing to hear all day. I can't wait to leave this hellhole because the food , the bed , the smell all atrocious. Everything about this hospital is atrocious on another level of disgust.
But at least I got to figure out myself , my life & most importantly how to lie to Sergeant Barbara about the incident plus I have gained the courage , the fever to talk again.
That's what I have gained to my advantage about staying in St Luke's hospital.

Hours later I saw my mom come through the door with a bag pack and I know she brought my laptop.
" Hi baby." my Mom said reaching tug me inside her arms.
" Hi Mom." I said pressing my face to her chest or should I say collarbone since women have chest ? I don't know.
" I brought you things plus lunch because I won't stay for long because I have to pick up Mica from your Dad's place , so eat up."
" Oh. So you guys are like on speaking terms now ?" I asked eagerly.

Suddenly my Mom lets out a huge heavy sigh not knowing what exactly to say , so to cut her short , since I've got the answer I told her that the Doctor said she should go see him at his office.
She then looked at me as I faced down averted to my sandwich which I am about to devour.

" Thanks for the lunch by the way." I said just to annoy her.
" It's okay Ray." she said then she continued " I have go and check out on your Doc , I hope he called for the right reasons."
" I hope so too."
She then went out to the Doctor's office whilst she is gone I log in on my Instagram to see if I have any messages and I have a bunch of unread messages from Laurette , my best friend. God I missed her so much.
