Hanging By A Moment (Sequel to Funhouse)

Chapter 45

“Wait there, Chez. I’ll help you to the door” Fraz said turning the engine off to his car

“I’m fine, Really” I told him as I reached for the door handle of the car

“Just wait” He laughed

“Fine” I huffed. I hated not being able to do things for myself

He walked around to the passenger side of the car and opened the door for me, I shuffled my bum off the seat and stood up putting all my weight on my good leg.

“Come on then” He said as I clung to his arm as I hopped to the front door.

The doctor had strapped my ankle and I wasn’t meant to be walking on it for a few days.

“In the kitchen babe” I heard Kimberley call out as soon as I walked through the front door

Fraz helped me down the hallway and in to the kitchen, Kimberley smiled at me as I entered the room.

“Everything go ok?” She asked looking up from the kitchen table

“Yeah, Fine . . All bandaged up” I told her

I hopped across to the table and was just about to sit down when she pulled her chair out and motioned me to go to her with her hand, I smiled warmly at her and sat down on her lap, She wrapped one arm around my waist and ran her other hand through my hair.

“Tom, What did the doctor really say? This one here will play it down. I want the truth” She said looking Fraz in the eye

“Kimberley” I moaned

“Ssshush you” She said as she started to play with my fingers

“She’s badly sprained her ankle and needs to keep off it for a few days and to keep it elevated” He said as he rested his back against the wall

“What about her Shoulder & Collar bone?” She asked immediately after

“Fraz” I warned him as soon as I saw the grin appear on his face

“Sorry, Cheryl . .. I promised her before I took you, Full disclosure” He smirked at me

“Will someone tell me what you two are on about? Is it hurt badly baby” She tilted her head to see my eyes, She looked so concerned, I had to tell her.

“Go on then” I told him

“Well, Your girl here had to have a tetanus jab and I have never seen such a cry baby in all my life, She cried her eyes out . . It was so funny” 

“Oi” I shouted at him. It was anything but funny

“She doesn’t like needles” Kimberley told him a little annoyed “The shoulders fine? Nothing broken?” 

“Few pulled muscles, But should be ok in a few days” He told her

“Good” She replied while she ran her thumb over the back of my hand in circular motions

“Has Sarah gone home?” Fraz asked

“Yeah, She was going to take Lou-Lou to the park and then back to yours for a few days” Kimberley told him

“Doggy sitting again” He smiled

“If you don’t mind, Sarah insisted” 

“No, No, Its fine. Love that mutt. The only thing I don’t like is when I take him to the park and he runs off and I’m stood there like a muppet shouting out ‘Lou-Lou’ to a big butch rottweiler, What the hell where you thinking when you named him, Chez?”
