"Shit, shit, shit!" Tori gasped as she practically ran into the hospital, through the moving doors dragging Michael behind her. "Calm down Tori, Im fine!" He told her. "Your not fine! ... Your not fine" She repeated quietly to herself.
"Hello? Some help here!" She called out, heading to the receptionist.
"How can, i help you?" The woman eyed up both Tori and Michael. "He needs a doctor, fast! He's burnt his face" Tori told her in a panic. "Well, if you could wait and fill out...." "Im not filling out anything, or waiting...he needs a doctor, now!" Tori pleaded to her.
"Miss, calm down. A doctor will be available shortly, till then...." "Shortly?! What is this?! One doctor per hospital? He needs medical help now!" Tori told her. Just then a nurse came walking to the desk, with a clipboard. "Any new people?" She asked the receptionist. "Uh, yeah..." The woman handed papers to the nurse as she looked at Tori.
"Michael needs help now! He has burnt his face!" Tori gritted her teeth to the nurse, now getting pissed off. "Have you filled a form?" The nurse asked. "Im not...filling out a form! Cant you see, he's fucking hurt his eye! Fire! Flame! Do. You. Understand. English?!" Tori waved her hand in the air. "You have to calm down..." The nurse told her. "Okay, i am calm. If you dont help him...i wont be responsible for my actions!" Tori told them, pissed and tears in her eyes.
"Will i call security?" The receptionist asked. "Tori, calm down babe. Im fine" Michael put his hand on her back. Tori sighed as she looked at him, anger leaving her eyes with worry replacing it. "No, no...come with me....Michael?" The nurse asked. Michael nodded as he held his face. "Miss, could you take a seat?" The receptionist asked. Tori took a breath and nodded, as she walked over to a few lines of seats and sat down. This was going to be a long night.

10:45pm
Tori had turned her phone on silent, and put it into her back pocket. She wasnt talking to anyone. She sat, biting her nail, bobbing his knee up and down. It had been nearly half an hour, Michael had been took away and she felt nothing but sickness and worry. Why? She didnt even know. Looking around at different people, she became more anxious. Will be be okay? What will his parents think? What if he's hurt badly? ... what if he's scarred for life?
She began to get a pain in the corner of her eyes. She took a breath, and looked up to see a doctor walking a few feet in front of her with Michael behind him. He has something white, against his face and walking in his ridiculous, but cute turtle outfit. Tori made a giggle to herself before diving up and walking over to them.
"Mikey!?" She gasped grabbing his arm. "Hey Tor" Michael smiled, and unexpectically wrapped his arm around her neck and held her tight before realeasing grip. "Whats happened? Is it bad? Are you okay?" Tori fired questions. "He's just coming for an examination. You can wait in the waiting area...." The doctor told her. Tall, mid 30s, good looking yet looked cocky about it. "I've been waiting there for nearly 45 minutes!" Tori looked at the doctor. "Imediate family?" He asked. "No...but..." Tori began. "Sorry hun" The doctor shrugged.
"Wait." Michael took Tori hand, as she was about to walk away. "She's my girlfriend...i want her with me" Michael looked at the doctor. The doctor looked at them both before nodding and walking ahead. Tori turned to Michael and smiled a little as they followed him to a room.
Tori stood behind Michael, as he was examined. The doctor, checking his face, telling him information and writing stuff down. Tori sat nervous as she listened in. "So, what happened for him to get like this?" The doctor asked, as he wrote something down on paper. Tori stopped biting her nails, and looked up. "Uh....it was a stupid party at a friends house." Tori nodded. "Post, halloween?" The doctor asked, knowing the answer as he looked at their costumes.
"I must say...different." The doctor grinned at Michael. "Yeah, well...one friend thought it was funny to play with a light, and hairpray stuff. This loser decideds to be in the way" Tori smiled a little, shoving Michael's shoulder forward. Earning a chuckle from Michael he nodded. "Hmm, some people dont know the dangers, when to stop" The doctor told them. "I know, tell me about it" Tori sighed.
"Okay Michael, you have a superfucial epidermal burn." The doctor looked up at him. Tori gulped as she listened to the words. "What exactly is that?" Michael asked. "Its when the epidermis is damaged. The first layer of your skin. Your skin will be red, slightly swollen and painful, but not blistered. I would say....apart from burning your hair slightly, your a very lucky boy" The doctor, told him. Tori sighed, with huge relief as she felt weight get lifted from her shoulders.
"I can put, a...cooling pack onto your face. You cant take it off for 2-3 day. 5 days at the latest. Prescribe you some pain killers, and a soothing cream for after taking off the bandage. It will then dull down, to a faint red mark." The doctor smiled. Tori sat down beside Michael as the doctor printed out a prescription. Tori and Michael smiled at each other, as Tori looked at the red mark on his face. "Only me huh?" He joked. Tori giggled and nodded. "Your a punk ass mess" She told him smiling, before moving a piece of hair from the side of his head to the middle.
"Thank you...for coming here. You didnt have too" Michael told her. "Your kidding right? Of course i had too! I wasnt leaving you" She told him. "Really?" He smiled. "No way" Tori smiled and nodded. Michael grinned at her, before sitting his hand on her knee. "Right there we are!" The doctor turned and signed the sheet. "Pharmacy is down the hall, near the main doors. These will easy any discomfort and pain from it. It is a burn...so there will be pain. Some soothing cream for after the banages." He handed over the paper.
Taking it Michael nodded before the doctor stood. "Okay, lets get you patched up. You two can go home and...chill" He chuckled a little before going and washing his hands. "I owe you one" Michael winked at Tori and she smiled. "Okay Mr Clifford. Pop up here, and we'll get this done" The doctor smiled as he dried his hands off at the bed.

"Ah...what are you gonna tell your mom and dad?" Tori asked, as she and Michael headed out the hospital. "The truth...minus the alcohol" Michael chuckled a little. "Wow, brave" Tori smiled. "Well, whats the point in lying? Just say i was with the boys, at another persons house. They thought it was funny playing with a lighter" Michael shrugged. "Shit, your mom will go fucking nuts!" Tori told him. "Its not so bad" Michael told her.
"Your lucky...it aint" Tori reminded him. He sighed and nodded as he looked at his presciption. "What...was with the girlfriend?" Tori asked him. "You wouldnt have been allowed in, any other way" Michael grinned, cheekily with a wink. "Hmmm" Tori spoke sarcastically before giggling. "How are we supposed to get home?" Tori sighed. "Taxi cab?" Michael suggested. "No money" Tori sighed. "Same" Michael nodded.
"I just need to ask my dad...oh wait no. He's working. Fuck!" Michael sighed. "My mom wont come out, she'll be in bed soon." Michael looked at Tori. Tori sighed as she thought. Her dad was available, but she was kinda put off the idea when he finds out...their at a hospital with Mikey having a half burnt face.
"My dad...is home, but...." Tori sighed. Michael nodded then shurgged. "Call him, if you want. I can handle him" Michael chuckled. "What are we going to say about your face?!" Tori asked. "The same story. We were at a house, he thought it was funny to play with a lighter" Michael smiled. "MmHmm, my dad can smell alcohol off me, and you! Did they mention anything?!" Tori suddenly became worried.
Michael shook his head. "Kept my mouth shut, most of the time and not at their faces" Michael chuckled. Tori nodded then took her phone out. Seeing mulitply texts from the girls, and her mom. Missed calls from the girls. SIghing, Tori dialled her dads number. "Okay, here we go" Tori smiled at Michael. "Dont worry" He got closer to her. "You need to get gum...or mints" Tori giggled as she stared up at him, with the banages on.
"Im ugly aint I?" He sighed, smiling. "What? No." Tori truthfully told him. "Sure" Michael nodded. "Mikey, your not. Dont ever say that...or think it" Tori sighed. "You just need to go home, get some sleep....take off that costume." She giggled looking up at him. "Hm, pity it wasnt you taking it off" He winked. "You ass" Tori smiled. "You need mints!" She stood away from him slightly. "First i need this" He pulled her close and kissed her.
Tori carefully kissed him back before they pulled away. "I dont want to hurt you" She sighed. "You wont" He smiled. "Call your dad, ill get us mints or something" He chuckled before kissing her forehead.
