Chapter twelve

((uh oh, i had my math test today :( ))

I forgot how long I must have slept because the nurse had to wake me up because Bailey and Brian came to see me. They were bent down and looking down at me and watched me for a while as i slept.

When I felt the nurses rubber gloves brush my cheek I shot my eyes open and saw faces. I knew who it was because Brian and Bailey were not as quiet when I was sleeping. I could hear their voices in my dreams.

"Hey Aspen, how are you feeling?" Bailey asked and gave a supportive smile.

"I have needles up my arm what do you think?" I said and rubbed my eyes.

Bailey chewed on her bottom lip and nodded. She looked out the hospital window with a jaded expression.

"I'm fine, really." I said and sat up.

My arms felt like twigs and my vision had bright blue dots spinning and flying around. When did I last eat?

"We brought you McDonalds." Brian said with a paper bag with grease stains and the McDonalds logo printed on it.

"I swear, you guys just read my mind. All I was thinking about was how hungry I was sense we last went to A&W." I said and took the bag out of his hands.

"I ate a couple fries." He said and blushed akwardly.

"That's fine. I don't mind." I said and unwrapped a cheeseburger.

"You won't guess who we saw in the waiting room while the nurse helped us find your room." Bailey said and rolled her eyes.

"I know, she already came in and was very supportive... I think." I said and trailed off.

My phone buzzed and Duncan had texted me.

Duncan: Hey sorry Tracey was being such a jerk

Me: It's cool

I looked back at Bailey and she was watching me type away on my phone.

"Duncan was with her?" She asked.

I nodded. I really don't think that Tracey is good enough for him. He should just end it. He can't suffer anymore. It really has got a grip of him. She may be popular and all that but she can't boss him around and treat Duncan like a slave. He is a human being and I wish Tracey wasn't to stupid to realize it.

I sighed, sat back in my bed and looked back at Bailey as she looked on social media. She turned to me and pointed her phone camera and took a picture.

"Hey what are you doing?" I said and laughed.

She laughed as well and pulled her phone away from my swinging arms, "My mom wants to see how your doing."

I smirked, "I hope it's your mom."

She pinkie sweared and Her smile fell from her face.

"Augh, now I've gotta go." She said and gave me a quick hug.

"See you tomorrow!" She said and left the room.

I heard a slurp and Brian was drinking a soda from McDonalds. His eyes looked off his phone and up at me with an innocent look.

"What." He said.

"Nothing I just thought you'd leave with Bailey." I said and then my eyelids got heavy and shut closed.

I yawned and fell asleep again and i felt a quick peck on my forehead as he left the room...
