"You're early. Why are you always early Jordan?"
"I don't know. I guess I just wanted to see you. That's all."
On the bus Rose could already feel her hands sweating and shaking. Needles were her biggest fear. She was really anxious.
"Don't worry Rose, it'll be ok," Jordan said sweetly.
When they reached the hospital and walked up the narrow steps, Rose's foot gave in because she was so nervous.She fell.
"I've got you." Jordan caught Rose as she fell.
"Thanks."
They reached the counter.
"Hmm... Rose Hind... 4:30?" Asked the lady at the counter.
"Ugh yep that's me," Rose said quietly but rapidly.
"If you would like the follow me, oh, and I'm afraid that your boyfriend would be allowed in," said a nurse.
"He's not my boyfriend..." replied Rose.
She looked at his face with worry, as if to say "find a way in". Jordan nods and whispers, "I'll find a way."
The room she was led into was filled with wall on wall with medicines and needles. There was even those daunting pain scale pictures which she used to see in the children's a and e department.
"Now sit down in that chair over there!" Said the scary blood test lady.
"Um, ok."
Rose could feel her heart bump out of her chest.
"I really don't want to do this."
Her eyes started to well up with tears.
"Well I'm sorry dear but you will have to-
BAM.
The door swung open.
"What in the world!-"
"I'm here and I'm not leaving until Rose has had her blood test. Sorry madam."
Rose smiled. He was her hero.
The scary bloodtest lady kept getting calls on her phone complaining about Jordan barging in. But he wouldn't budge so she just let him stay.
"You're very lucky we are allowing this. Boyfriends aren't usually allowed to be here."
"He's not my boyfriend for the last time" Said Rose as the lady was preparing the needle.
"Please. I don't want to do this." Rose starting crying heavily.
Just at that moment jordan pulled up a chair and sat next to Rose. He reached under the table for her other hand, and held it softly. Rose was thankful.
"Come on, don't be a baby, you won't even feel it! Said scary bloodtest lady.
"I.. Don't... Want.. To."
Just at that moment, Jordan grabs one of the needles that weren't in use, and just fricking stabs himself.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Rose asks him, sniffling.
"See it doesn't hurt that bad!"
"That was a waste of a perfectly good waste of a good needle, you know!" Said scary injection lady.
Now Rose was laughing. Jordan took the needle out.
"Do you want it back then?"
"NO!"
Rose wasn't going to lie, he looked pretty attractive.
After the laughing had subsided, Rose plucked up the courage to have the blood test.
"Just do it." She said, holding Jordan's hand tightly.
"Ok, on the count of three, one, two-"The scary injection lady lied. She put the needle in on two. Did she even know how to count?
"Owwwww!" Rose screamed.
Jordan squeezed Rose's hand as the needle goes in. As she starts to ball her eyes out again, she buries her face in Jordan's shoulder.
