After the nurse walked out of the room, Elijah got up and walked towards the door "I'm going home. Be back later. Love you." He said blankly. "Love you." I said slowly. He walked out the door. The nurse came back in the room. "Justin, it's time for your physical to make sure everything is still okay." He got down into the wheelchair and she wheeled him out the door, shutting the door behind her.
"Brooke.." My mother said raising out of her seat walking over to my bed. *Smack* "WHY THE HELL DID YOU GET IN THE CAR WITH HIM?!" She screamed. "I" *Smack* "Told" *Smack* "You" *Smack* "To" *Smack* "Stay" *Smack* "Safe!" "It was his fault. He said it himself. He was the one driving the car. He told those guys that he wanted to race. I tried to stop him, but he only went faster." I said, tears streaming down my face. "Dry it up before someone comes in. We don't need people getting suspicious." My mother said without regret.
"Get out." I said firmly. "Excuse me?" She said with attitude. "Get out or i'm going to tell the nurse what you just did." I said angrily. She got up and rushed out the door, slamming the door behind her.
Finally she's gone. I thought. I picked up the remote and turned on the T.V. Yes. Just in time for my absolute favorite show, Awkward. About 20 minutes went by and I was starting to get a bit hungry. I hit the nurse button and someone came in about three minutes after I hit it.
"Whatcha need honey?" A big black woman said sweetly. "Can I have some applesauce or something? I'm a bit hungry. "Sure baby. Ill be back with a peanut butter sandwich and an applesauce." She replied with her southern accent. "Thank you." I said kindly. She walked out the door, turning to the left to go down the hall. I was staring at the ceiling watching the fan turn and turn as I drifted off into sleep. "AHHHHHH!" I screamed as I fell to the cold, hard, linoleum floor. "Somebody! Anybody!" I yelled, looking around for help.
Three nurses ran into the room and immediately knelt down and asked "Brooke, are you okay? Does anything hurt?" They asked comfortingly. "I'm fine. Can you put me in my wheelchair?" I had never thought I would ever ask someone to put me in a wheelchair before. Although, I guess there is a first time for everything.
They put me in my wheelchair. "Thank you. Sorry for the trouble." I said appologetically. "No problem. We will leave the door open in case you need anything. Just yell if you do." They said with a smile. They all went out the door. I rolled over to the chair and dug through my purse to find my phone. 23 new messages. 15 DMs on twitter. Once something bad happens to you I guess you become the most popular person around.
Most of the messages were from my mom "Where are you?!" "Are you okay?!" "BROOKE! PLEASE ANSWER." They were all the same. The only time my mom cares about me, when something bad happens. I sat my phone in my lap and rolled my wheelchair out the door. I went up to the black nurse and said "When can I go home?" "Tomorrow night. And same for Justin." She said sweetly. Yes. Finally. Maybe I can stay with him, get away from my mother for a few days. I thought.
I rolled down the hallway, looking for Justin. "Brooke!" I heard him yell from down the hall. "Where are you going?" He asked. I rolled down to him. "I was looking for you. We are going home tomorrow!" I said excitedly. "Maybe I could stay at your house for the week? I need to get away from my mother for a while." I said softly. "Definately. My parents wouldn't mind." He said with a grin. "Great! I'll tell my mom to run home and pack me clothes and stuff." I said smiling. I picked up my phone To Mom; Will you please run home and get me some clothes and toothbrush and stuff? I'm staying with Justin this week. We are allowed to leave the hospital tomorrow. You can't say no. I have so much stuff I could say to the nurses. We would't want that now would we? Xoxo. -Brooke. Send.
She texted back immediately. Mom; Leaving the hospital now. Ill get your clothes, toothbrush, etc. Ill pick out some cute clothes for you to wear. :) Be back soon. Xoxo.
Wow. She didn't even argue about me going to Justin's. I looked at the time. 9:15 PM. "I'm off to bed." I said to the black nurse with a yawn. "Goodnight sweetie." She replied. I went into my room, grabbed the rails on my bed and pulled myself up to the mattress. I laid back and closed my eyes. I guess being paralyzed isn't as bad as I thought. I thought before drifting off to sleep.
