Three Whole Words Only Eight Letters Long (Sequel to LCDD)

Chapter 83

Note: So the pace of the story picks up a little bit now since I didn't think it was needed to include information on things that were boring and wouldn't include anything fun, plus I didn't have anything planned. So just to let you know, there are ten more chapters left after this, which includes the epilogues I have written, so this trilogy will be coming to an end quite soon. I'm sad too, believe me on that but I have moved past this now and have started uploading some original ideas, though I won't be writing much of them until I'm get back home on Tuesday after Slam Dunk, but if you get bored then please check them out. I also recently uploaded a cover for It Runs In Her Veins, though I'm not sure if I will keep it.

Enjoy the upload, please let me know what you think of the chapters, which are long-ish and have a good bank holiday weekend, to all my fellow British fans, or have a good weekend if you don't live in England (since I don't know if all of you lovely readers live in the UK or not?)

"It isn't a problem dear" the nurse smiled at me and I blushed a little but nodded and she laughed.

"I can imagine that it is embarrassing but it is perfectly normal" she stated and I sighed but nodded at her.

"I know, but it's still awkward" she smiled sympathetically.

"Is that all you need?" she asked and I thought for a moment before nodding and she smiled in response.

"Okay, I will leave a wheelchair outside the door for you, will your friends be okay dealing with you?" she asked, sounding a little concerned and I grinned at her.

"Are you sad to see me go Annette?" I teased and the nurse laughed.

"Of course I am Lizzie. You are my only patient who happily talks to me" she shrugged and I smiled at her.

"Well you're my favourite nurse too" my response made her grin before she sighed and squeezed my hands.

"It was nice meeting you and I'm sure you will figure everything out soon" she said and I nodded.

"I know and thank you for everything Annette" she nodded before leaving through the door, sending me one final glance before she disappeared from sight.

     With a sigh I sat back down on my hospital bed and frowned at my clothing, which I was now annoyed with. I'd needed Annette's help to get dressed because of how much pain I was in and how hard it was for me to do basic things at the moment. Annette had already spoken with my mum, and all of my female friends and all of them had agreed to help me whenever I needed their help but I still didn't like the idea of asking. I groaned again and wiped at my eyes as I felt the tears appearing. Why had this happened? Why had that bastard been so fucking stupid and gone over the speed limit?

     It had been exactly eight days since I'd woken up and in that time I'd apparently made a remarkable recovery. I could walk out of my room and to the end of the corridor without assistance, but I needed help walking back afterwards, because the pain that my body went through from simply walking was horrendous. But still, Doctor Ashen was happy enough with my progress that he was letting me go today, hence the fact that I was dressed in clothes and not those paper thin hospital robes, which I didn't like wearing. I hated the idea that someone before me who was ill may have worn it, since with the state of the hospitals these days it wouldn't surprise me. Though luckily I'd had some great care in the form of Annette as my personal main nurse and Ashen as my doctor. He actually had a great sense of humour and tended to keep me company of a morning since I was an early riser and he usually did his rounds when I woke up, so I couldn't fault the care I'd been given.
