A Pinch of Kerry

Elevator Love Girl

[At the hospital]

I felt myself being wheeled down a hallway. I was so confused. What am I doing in a hospital? I tried harder and harder to open my eyes. I finally did and saw J at my bed side.

"Oh God. You're okay." She said in relief.

"What happened ?" I slurred.

"You fell and hit your head. It was a lot of blood." She said.

"You'll be fine," said one of the doctors.

They wheeled me into this small room. It was blue with no decorations on the wall. I hated hospitals. I didn't just hate them because people died there, but also because its a death type vibe. They make you feel dead before you are. They put me in a hospital dress. I hated those too because of all the former diseases that were on there that everyone "thinks" is gone because its washed away. You don't see it anymore. One of the doctors tilted my head back for her to examine.

"Ouch!" It hurt so bad.

"Sorry." She finished and told me I would be fine after some stitches. Great. Then, to top it all off, my sister is in the doorway. My narcissistic, phony sister, was in the doorway.

"She can't be my doctor. No." I said aggravated.

"What's your relation to Dr. Blue ?" The doctor asked.

"She's my sister......" I glared at her.

"Well, she'll give you your stitches. She won't be too long."

The doctor left without a peep.

"Oh look, I'm cleaning up after your sloppy ass again." She said.

She called me everything except the child of God, but my head hurt too much to care. Most of my family were famous doctors and surgeons. When I told my mom I wanted to be an artist she looked at me like I told her I wanted to be a clown. When she finished she just left. I laid in the bed for a while just to relax. No one came to bring me discharge papers so I just left. My nurse was old so she wouldn't notice. I crept over to the elevator and pressed the down button. The doors open and it was just a man standing there.

"Smile princess, you made it out alive." He said

I just ignored him because I really didn't have enough energy in me to be wity.

"I'm sorry. I'm John" he reached his hand.

I shook it, "I'm Kerry".

"You always look this nice ?" He asked.

"From wity to hitting on me. Aren't you different ?" I had a little energy.

"I am, and unlike most women you didn't accept the compliment. So, so are you" he smiled.

His smile was infectious. All of a sudden, the elevator stops. The lights flicker and then the emergency lights come on.

"Great" I sighed.

"Don't worry. We'll be out in a sex, sec. I MEAN SEC." He stammered

"Wow. It's been that long since you got it ?" I kind of laughed.

"Well, I mean, uh," He stammered again.

"Its been long for me too. You're not alone" I tried to not make him feel uncomfortable. Then, he pulls out....cards.

"Speed ?" He asked.

"What you know about speed?" I said.

We started to play over and over again. I was actually enjoying the company of a man. My last boyfriend dump me for a busty blonde. How cliche can it get ?

"Would you ?" He broke my daze

"Would I ?"

"Get coffee with me ?" He asked.

"If you only knew...." I mumbled.

"Hm ?"

"Nothing. I'm sorry. I have to decline." I said.

"Don't like coffee ?"

"Not really." I lied.

"Are you guys okay ?" A fireman asked.

"Yeah." We said in unison.

"You'll be out in a bit" He said and left.

John stopped and looked in my eyes. He leaned forward and kissed me passionately. He grabbed my face and pulled me into him. We started to feel on each other and I ended up on top of him. Then, the doors started to open. I jumped up quick breaking our kiss. The doors were wide open. Firefighters were just staring us down. I ran out of the elevator and out the hospital. I was breathing hard and trying to figure out what happened.

"HEY WATCH OUT"

URRRRRTTTTT.

CRASH.
