Runaway 2

Chapter 5

*a few days later*
(6:45pm. Hospital check up)

"Are you ready babe?", Mark comes up, buttoning up his shirt and I nod as I apply a little mascara, sitting on a stool beside the vanity. "Do you need help? To get you down?"

"I would really appreciate if you guys would install an elevator into this house", I joke and he laughs.

"Anything for you", he comes and wraps his arms around my waist and we look at each in the mirror. He then pecks my cheek. "You look beautiful"

"I don't even have any makeup on, I'm in sweats, I look like a hobo, what are you talking about?", I giggle. He shakes his head at me.

"You're wrong, you look BEAUTIFUL", he says a little loudly and we both giggle.

(7:21pm. Arriving and being a nervous wreck)

The whole car ride, my heart had been drowning in my stomach, asking for help. My head was yelling at me to go back home or somewhere else other than the hospital appointment. No matter how badly I didn't want to go, I had too and we had finally arrived.

"Wait, I'm going to come to your side and help you out", Mark holds me down. I had no problem with, the longer it takes the better, I didn't want to go inside in the first place. He walks over to my side of the car and opens the door.

"Can I just get on your back?", I ask. He shakes his head and I sink back down.

"It's unprofessional, we're going for an appointment, I can't just have you hanging on my back like a monkey", he says.

"Whatever I was being silly", I just gulp and drop the subject.

He holds onto me and we walk inside. Mark helps me sit on a waiting chair as he walks to the desk and they tell us to wait for a couple of minutes and the doctor will be with us in a few minutes. Mark walks back and sits beside me, sitting down, he opens his phone and browses it.

"Hey, can you check who's seeing me today?", I nudge Mark, he whines like baby at my nudge and rubs his arm. I laugh.

"I'm pretty sure you have the same Doctor babe", he says playfully.

"Pretty please", I give him an innocent look and he sighs and gets up to ask. He goes over to the woman at the desk and talks to her.

He comes back and sits beside. "Uh.. It's Dr Jonathan"

"Oh", is all I say. It's not Harry.

"Is he the same guy you had last time?"

"Nope", I smile.

"Weird, you are supposed to see the same person", he says. "Do you want me to go and ask why?"

"No, it's fine", I say really quick and he furrows his eyebrows and then relaxes.

"Well.. Ok then", he says and picks up a magazine.

(7:46pm. This isn't right)

"Uh.. Miss Barrett?", a nurse stands there and calls my name.

"Let's go", he helps me up and we follow the nurse to the room.

When she opens the door, my heart drops. Once I realize it's a different face, I relax and go inside with a smile. I sit on the bed that is provided for my cast change and Mark sits down next the doctor.

"Honestly you can wait in the lobby sir because it will take long", he tells Mark. Mark runs his hands through his hair and looks over at me. I was clueless and just sat there and shrugged.
