RECAP
"You're middle name is Gaylin!?" Austin laughed.
"Shut up! My grandmother was named Gaylin!"
*end of flashback*
Finnick and Austin got back with pillows and blankets. Austin walked over to my bed and grabbed Sniffles, my pink bunny I've had since I can remember. He walked back to me, bent down, carefully placing my arms to my sides, placing Sniffles on my stomach, and returning my arms across Sniffles. I smiled up to him.
Austin and Finnick carefully lifted up the board, and carried me downstairs to my car. I don't know how I'm going to explain this to Bonnie.
END OF RECAP
I haven't mention this before, but Bonnie is my only girl friend. Bonnie understands how I feel about Austin and about Finnick. I've been so caught up with the arranged marriage and being beaten up by Finnick to remember to call her. Oh, God. I'm gonna get an earfull of "Oh why didn't you tell me?!" this and "I thought we best friends!" that. Ugh. She gets on my nerves when she uses her evil voice.
I think I either passed out or I fell asleep, because I was in the hospital when I woke up. I looked down, not caring if pain coursed through my neck, to see that they didn't put me in one of those manditory night gowns that all patients have to wear. Good, because I probably would've screamed in agony if they tried. I think it was the same hospital I went to when I was in 8th grade, because in walks Dr. Love. Cue romantic music.
"Well, good morning sleepy head! I haven't seen you since you were in 8th grade! What did you do this time?"
"Well, apparently, it's against the law to roll your eyes at Finnick Joesph Odair 3 times." I frankly glanced at Finnick.
Dr. Love wrote it down. "I see. Well, we're going to have a few X-rays done to if there's any fractured or broken bones. And would you like some ice cream afterwards?" I'm not kidding about the last part. That phrase came out of his mouth.
"Sure, I guess."
"Can I have some?" Austin and Finnick asked in unison.
I pointed at Austin. "You: yes." I pointed at Finnick. "You: never." I smiled. The pain went down. I guess they gave me pain relief pills, or something while I was passed out. I sat up to see a laptop at my feet. It was requesting a Skype video call from someone named armyhusbandsandfathers. I looked over at my mom, and she gave the nodd of approval. I clicked accept, and I wish I could've seen how bright my face was. I quickly motioned over Austin with a big smile. His face was as bright as mine.
"Hey you two!" Daddy said, joyfully. "I see you gotten beaten up there."
"I hope your OK." I forgot what Mr. Curtis sounded like.
"If only I could give you guys hugs," I chuckled. "I miss you guys so much!"
"Well, what happened, Galy?" Daddy questioned. I miss hearing my nickname.
"Well, apparently they passed a new law." I turned the webcam over to Finnick. "It's illegal to roll your eyes at Finnick Joesph Odair three times." I turned the wbecam back over to me and Austin.
"Ouch," Mr. Curtis exclaimed.
"What happened?" Oh my gob. Is that Mr. Odair? I forgot that he was in the army, too. Finnick rushed over to the camera.
"Daddy~!" Finnick sounded like a little girl.
"Hey there, Fin. What did you do to Miss Lynn here?"
He hesitated. "I kinda got mad at her and...." He trailed off.
"Well, don't do it again, young man!" Mr. Odair said in a frim, frank voice. How much did I miss these voices? I would video call them every day.
"Fine!" Finnick laughed.
"Well, we gotta go now!" Daddy said. "We'll talk to you guys soon!"
"We love you!" We said in unison.
"We love you, too!" They said in unison.
"Bye!" I clicked the X in the corner to close the chat.
"Who was that?" Zoro walked into the room, more focused on the pudding cup he had in his hand than his older sister in the hospital bed.
