My eyes pricked and tears streamed down my face.
A million thoughts ran into my head.
"Is she dead?" was one of them.
"Hello!"
I whipped around, it was Helen.
"Good news and bad news Hol."
"How do you know my na.."
She cut me off.
"Good news! Brianna is up and walking about!"
I screamed and hugged Helen so hard I almost thought for a second that I was going to squish her.
"Bad news?" Josh asked.
"Her Rib Cage is damaged. This means that if she falls and her rib cage gets more damaged then this could affect her heart.."
"But I will make sure that doesn't happen!" I burst out, "Where is she then?"
We followed Helen into a kids play room where there were about 4 children playing with doll houses and cars.
"Brianna?" I called.
A little girl with a head full of golden hair, in two pig tails, poked her head round the side of a dolls house.
It was Brianna.
I ran up to her and gave her the biggest hug in the world, even bigger than the one I gave Helen.
"Your squishing me!" she giggled.
I let go of her but held onto her sweaty little hands.
"When can she come home?" Josh asked Helen.
"Now!"
Brianna squealed and jumped up and down.
"Guess what Hollie?" Her big blue eyes looked up at me.
"What chick?" I smiled.
"The food is horrible! The chicken nuggets are disgusting!" She pretended to be sick into her hands.
"Eww Brianna's been sick," Josh joked.
"I haven't really," Brianna said, acting smart.
I had an idea.
"Tell you what Brianna, why don't we go to McDonald's now? I bet if you ask Josh nicely he'd give you a piggyback all the way there," I smiled at Josh.
She jumped up and down again and gave Josh a hug.
Before we were actually allowed to leave, Brianna had to have a few more tests and scans.
When we finally set foot out the hospital doors, Bri jumped onto Josh's back and we raced all the way to McDonald's.
We panted and panted and panted until Brianna nicknamed us her dogs.
"What would Queen Brianna like to eat?" Josh said.
"20 chicken nuggets with chocolate milkshake!!" She smiled.
"20?" I asked, giggling.
"Yep!"
"Okay then, Josh you want Big Mac right?"
He nodded. Brianna grabbed Josh's hand and one of mine.
"This is our little secret okay?" I whispered to them both.
"Okay," They both replied.
"Next!" the cashier said.
"Hello, can I have one Big Mac meal please with a Coke, 20 chicken nuggets meal with a chocolate milkshake and a Mc-chicken sandwich meal with another chocolate milkshake."
"Yeah, that will be £17.95 then please."
I looked at the money I brought along the money that Cathy gave us. There was only £15 in cash.
"Uh, Josh do you have any change?" I whispered.
"I do!" Brianna called.
"How?!" I asked shocked.
"Hospital lady, nice lady. Give me money for food from machine."
She handed me a £5 note and I quickly gave the £20 to the cashier.
"I will bring your food over when it is ready," She said as she handed me the change and receipt.
We sat on a table by the window and waited for our food to be brought over.
"So, when did you wake up Bri?" Josh asked.
"What do you mean," she giggled, "I never wen.."
She got cut off by the waitress.
"20 nuggets?"
Brianna smiled and nodded at the lady, "Can I have a bawoon?"
"Sure cutie pie!" The lady went behind the counter to blow up a balloon.
"Brianna speak properly," I sighed.
"But I sound like a cutie pie!" She giggled.
The waitress came back with a pink balloon and handed it to Bri.
"Tank Oo," She waved goodbye to the lady.
Me and Josh scoffed down our burgers and our fries, however Brianna savoured every mouthful and licked the salt off each chip.
"I have a chip lolly pop," she chuckled.
"Come on Brianna! Sophie wants to see you!"
She instantly shoved her chicken nuggets into her mouth, choking on them.
"Be careful!" I said, handing her the chocolate milkshake.
She slurped down her drink and continued eating her fries.

By the time we got home it was already 3 o'clock in the afternoon, so we decided to go and visit mum.
I made sure that Brianna stayed outside with Josh whilst I talked to her.
"Mum?" I called.
"Who is it?" I heard a mumble.
I walked towards the kitchen to see her slumped on the dining chair with a bottle of vodka.
"What are you doing here?" She asked.
"I came to tell you something. Two things actually."
"What's the first one love?" She said, taking a gulp out of the bottle.
"Brianna is out of hospital."
"WHAT! WHERE IS SHE?" She pushed herself out of the chair and ran into the living room.
"Mum, No!" I pushed her back onto the sofa.
"This is where the second thing comes in!" I shouted.
"I'm listening," she said, impatiently.
"Me and Brianna are moving in at Sophie's."
"What?!"
"You heard me, we are moving into Sophie's!" I repeated.
"No your not," she said, trying to stay calm.
I walked up the stairs to grab some of my huge handbags and stuffed them with mine and Brianna's clothes.
I even remembered to pack some toys for her and my professional felt tip set and art portfolio.
I dragged them along the landing and down the stairs.
Mum was standing in front of the door, her arms blocking my exit.
"Mum, let me out!" I said, pushing her out of my way.
I snatched the spare keys out of the pot by the door and ran out of the house with the bags.
Josh and Brianna spun around as soon as they heard my footsteps.
"Let me help you," Josh took the bags from my hands.
"Thanks," I said, out of breath.
"We having a sleepover with Joshie Woshie?" Brianna asked cutely.
"No we aren't. We are moving in with Sophie!"
I Couldn't believe that this was happening. Me and Sophie always said we would live together, but I didn't think it would happen like this.
"Thinking about that Brianna," Josh started, "You could stay at my place for a bit."
"Yayyy, please say yes Hollie," Brianna flattered her eye lashes at me.
"Fine, but only for one night," I gave in.
"Two?" She asked.
"Three?" Josh begged.
"Ugh, okay. As long as Josh will have us Bri,"
I couldn't believe how easy I was to persuade.
We walked to Josh's house and he put our bags into his room.
"Can I sleep in this room?" I heard Brianna ask.
I peered my head around the door to see her jumping up and down on a bed made up of pink sheets. There was a pink oak wardrobe and there was a door which must of lead to a bathroom or something.
"Brianna I don't thin.."
"Sure!" Josh butted in.
He winked at me and took my hand, "I wanted you to share my room."
Brianna ran in to his room and dragged her bags out into what would be her room for the time being.
"We have privacy," He said, shutting the door.
"And what would we need privacy for?" I smirked.
"You know what I mean," He winked again.
