Same Difference

Chapter 8-Go away! Please...

I've been in this stupid hospital for a whole two weeks and it’s so boring. Even though I always have at least two visitors during visiting hours I still get bored the rest of the day. Just sitting here, not being in the real world is killing me. Slowly.

I glanced at the clock, just eight minutes to visiting hours or should I say hour. It's barely long enough to see Logan. Oh and of course I miss the others...

'Knock, knock Evelyn rebel Moor.' I looked up at a grinning Marcel.

'Like my Twitter name, Mars?' He nodded and sat on the edge of my bed.

'What happened to Lolo? He never misses a visit.'

'I'm hurt! Don't you like seeing me too! How could you Evie!?' I giggled at his fake hurt and poked his leg.

'Marceeeellll!'

'Ok, ok. He said he had an errand to run.'

'Oh.' Why couldn't he do it later?

Marcel brought me my laptop so I wouldn't be bored. I had tried to hug him but he made me lie down again and gave me a gentle hug.

Geez... they’ve been treating me like I'm made of glass ever since I had my appendix out. It isn't even that sore anymore, I mean lots of people have their appendix out!

******************************

After Mars left I jabbed the "call nurse" button on my bed until a flustered looking woman in scrubs appeared.

'Is something wrong, Miss Whitmoor?'

'When can I be discharged?'

'Well... Technically you can leave tomorrow afternoon but your, err, father wants to keep you here for another week.'

He what!? There is no way I'm staying here any longer than I have too! I'm outta here tomorrow!

'Thanks. Um, can I discharge myself?' She shuffled uncomfortably.

'Are you over 16?'

'Yep.' I popped the p.

'Then we can't legally keep you here.'

Freeeeeeeeeeedoooooommmmm!!!

'Kay, thanks.' I nodded as she left.

As soon as the nurse left I pulled off the blanket and carefully stood up. So far, so good. I stretched and slowly walked around my room. There was some pain when I used the muscles in my stomach but it was manageable. I stretched a bit more and walked into the private bathroom joined to my room.

After two weeks of sponge baths I need a proper bath, like now!

I filled the tub with warm soapy water until it was really deep and slid into the blissful water. I dunked my head under and then relaxed with my head peeking out of the water.

A nice warm bath can do wonders for your mood. Have you ever gotten home after a long day and just relaxed in a nice bath. This should be a method of therapy...

I felt my tightly wound muscles relax themselves and I felt fresh, alive.

I washed my hair, wrung it out and wrapped it in a towel then I dried my body and climbed into my bright orange pyjamas. I'm never wearing a hospital gown again!

I feel really tired all of a sudden. Maybe it’s because those idiot nurses wouldn't let me out of bed for two weeks, yeah, well I need to move.

I crawled into bed and fell asleep instantly.

(I was gonna end the chapter here but I felt bad so I kept going.)

The boys couldn't visit today because they're recording a new album, fine by me. My plan will be easier this way.

I packed my bags, signed my discharge papers and called a cab. The porter helped me carry my bag to my room and I crawled into bed with my laptop.

This is gonna shock them, serves 'em right. Why would I want to stay in a hospital any longer than I have to?

I turned on my Twitter and tweeted my sixty three fans.

@Evelyn_RebelMoor: Discharged from hosp after 2 weeks. Appendix burst but I'm ok now :)

I smiled as my phone rang, looks like James has Twitter on his cell.

Yeah?

*Why does your Twitter say you’ve been discharged from hospital?*

"Well hello to you too dear brother."

*EVELYN!*

"Ok, ok. Keep your carrots on. I discharged myself, the doctor said I was well enough to leave."

*Where. Are. You. Now?*

My hotel room, duh. I got a cab.

*You were supposed to stay in hospital...*

"No! I'm perfectly fine! I don't need to be Molly coddled, I'm almost an adult so stop treating me like a baby!!!"

*Dad wants to talk to you.*

"Well too bad!"

I jabbed the "End call" button so hard it hurt my finger.

All he'll do is boss me around like a child and tell me I need to consult adults before I do something. Pfft, no way.

I played games on my laptop for a while till I heard someone banging on the door. I bet its James and that idiot.

I opened to door and got slammed in the face by a fist. I screamed and fell backwards.

'What the hell Evelyn!? Why were you so close to the door?' I blinked up at James. The others stood behind him.

'You just used my face as a knocker and you're shouting at me?' Logan picked me up and carried me to the couch.

'I can walk by myself.' He gave me a disapproving look and covered me with a blanket.

'Why did you leave the hospital without my permission?' Oh look who's finally playing dad.

'I'm seventeen, its legal. They told me I was well enough.'

'I think we should take you back.' Evil dad say what!?

'No. No. NO! I'm not going back, I hate hospitals!'

He ignored me and got out his phone, I heard him making plans for me to have a home nurse.

'It’s for your own good, kay?' I refused to answer Logan. I curled up and ignored them all until they left. I felt bad though when Marcel looked at me sadly.

My dad took my laptop with him so I couldn't post about what jerks they were. Publicity this and publicity that. All about the public's feelings but forget his daughter's feelings. Well I'll show him!

Somehow...

******************************

*Knock, knock*

Really? I just got comfy in front of the T.V. I heaved myself up and opened the door to a short round woman in white slacks and a fuzzy pink sweater with bows down the front. She had a matching fluffy pink hat and purse.

OH MI GOSH! IT'S THE SUGAR PLUM FAIRY!!!

'Hem, hem.' I snapped out of my fairy fantasy and looked at the Delores Umbridge look alike. Sounds like her too...

'Um... yea?'

'I am nurse Paisley. I will be in charge of you henceforth.'

'In charge!?'

'Yes. Now you should be in bed not gallivanting around.' She steered me inside.

'I, but, whaaaa? I was answering the door.' She ignored me and pushed me into bed.

'Get some sleep now dear.' I looked at the clock.

'But its only seven o'clock!!!' She switched off the light.

'No buts. It's time to go to sleep.'

I hid under the blanket and switched on my phone, found the book app and opened Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix.

Now how did he get rid of his Umbridge?
