_Chapter 3_ Run Away Nurse...Maybe

I stared straight in her eyes; she recognise and felt slightly uncomfortable. it was her! The nurse I remember from the tragic day, it had to be. I kept staring so she would recognise me. Though I 2don't think she even notices anything but my awkward gaze. She started to move around the machine things which had long wire attach from them to my wrist band thing... whatever it was.

" Well sweet heart everything seems good. you'll be just fine" she clearly said nicely; with a massive grin on her face.

" That's good, maybe even fit enough to go school!" mark said: while smiling back to the nurse.

Urghh I hate school to absolute DEATH! its just because i used to go to this school where my best-est friends are, then I moved and everyone at my school now, knows everything about my business. I do have friends but i'm very distant from everyone.

I haven't been school since the car crash, they allowed me to come off  for ages to recover from the 'accident' Although now Mark wants me to go back. I don't think I'm ready to go back to school yet, not because I don't want to but because I don't need to really. All my levels are above average, even above intelligent. I may be smart but my teacher says I ' still need to learn new things' and ' its not about knowing every answer, its about understanding what got you there; also to learn from your mistakes' 

" Yeah she is quite well to go back to school."  said the nurse

" Fantastic! Paige I'm just going to pop out to check if we didn't get a ticket, I think I need to pay for another half an hour. if  your ready to go, meet me down. I'll be waiting in the car.

"Ok" I hummed

Mark swag his jacket on then walked out. I still couldn't stop thinking about school, I loved and hated it at the same time. I hated the fact that I had to make excuses for all my bruises from Mark. Also the  fact I wasn't able to face the world yet. Teachers all up in your business ready anytime to call the police then lock you up in a care home with a bunch of wild kids; who will never be adopted or fostered.

"Alrightiee then, lets get all these medical equipment attach to you off. So that your ready to go." She knelt down to take of the bandages and replace them with fresh, healthy, cleaner ones. As she bent to throw the dirty, bacterial bandage, a necklace swag free from under her nursing uniform. A beautiful pendent hanged perfectly on it. 

" Was that meant to be your daughters, before she died." I said quickly; keeping my head face down with my eyes stuck on such beauty. she started confused at me, then slowly wrapped the fresh bandaged around me.

" what?... umm well yes...... how did you kno-"

" you told me... remember my mom and dad died in a car crash... ." I claimed while asking at the same time.

" Ohh yes, I remember now you was that little girl, who felt like no one understood her... but I did--" she stated; as if she felt that she should be awarded for getting it correct.

" Yeahh" I shyly agreed.

she giggled. " Its alright don't worry"

" You never finished telling me about her.."

" Umm.... she had lovely brown hair, well I only saw strands as she was just born. You could hardly see her eyes for the reason that they were shut, despite that they were hazel with a sprint of golden brown rushing through them. the colours didn't mix, they were separate. She was gorgeous. She was n't only a baby.... She was my baby!" The nurse began to cry.

I smiled it was a bit cheesy yet sweet. tears was filling my eyes to. So i got up and tried to get things going. I don't want to sit in a pool of tears. I had another question; taking up the room in my mind trying to release it's self.

" Last time.. if i can remember properly you said the doctors took her when she stopped crying.... But then what happen" I asked slowly trying not to confuse her or making it more emotional. I was trying to be clear for her to answer with no excuse.

Instead of answering she folded up the hospital gown and placed it on her wrist, then made up the bed and walked straight out without any eye-contact. That was quite rude i thought. I was gonna go catch her and ask again, though, on the other hand that could make matters worst plus I wouldn't be able to find her. 

I nearly forgot about Mark waiting down stairs. I really don't wanna be late, even though if I end up back in this hospital I wont have to go school. Well I'm just gonna take the BIG risk of going school. How know's it might not even be that bad..... I hope.

The automatic doors opened in front of me. I held my hands firmly on my coat tightening it; as the freezing wind slapped my cheek like a wet mop. My hair waved up and down slowly. I hurried along to Marks car and jumped in the passenger seat.

After 15 minutes of silent we arrived safely at home. As soon as the door opened, we both stared   right at the spot where my blood stains still remain. Mark walked into the kitchen and made two cups of & tea for us. I went to my room quickly to jumping in my night clothes. It was freezing. I shut all the windows up stairs then came running down the stairs then stopped again at the same time as Mark, watching the empty space. He rapidly looked away and went around the ' CRIME SCENE' & into the living room

" The carpet cleaners will have to come tomorrow to sort that out" Mark said trying to make conversation to stop the awkward silence. I kept quite, staring at the ceiling; while sucking the ends of my sleeves.

" Its chilly in here, let me turn up the heating." Mark got up to change the room temperature.

-BUBBLE BUBBLE-

The noise of the kettle made. Mark went directly to the kitchen and came back out holding a hold cup of tea in front of me. I let got of my soggy sleeve and felt it slowly drop down in position, pressing its salivary coating on my skin. I grabbed the mug of tea Mark held in front of me and leaned back onto the sofas cushion.

" Thank you" 

" Your welcome" Mark replied

I gulped the hot tea down bit by bit trying not to burn myself. When I  finished I carefully placed the mug on the side of the kitchen.

" Go to bed now, you've got school tomorrow" Mark called out.

Great! (sarcasm) even supposing I was going to school tomorrow, my head was set on the fact that Mark was being so nice, but he does that after hitting me. Its not guilt just pleasure so he can prove he does things for me. I focused my mind on solving the curious mystery of the nurse, and why she kept running away when ever I ask' What happened after?'  

Maybe I should be a detective if I even solve this case. Or any. I wrapped my blanket around me, blocking the outside world out.

Maybe the nurse wanted to block the outside of to... Maybe even me. On the other hand she was able to answer the other questions, just not that one. 

Maybe I should respect the nurse and her personal space, like I want others to respect me. Maybe i should... Maybe i would .. Maybe shes was lying! my mind was filled with crazy ideas now, a secret agent!!!  A Run Away Nurse...Maybe...
