Flans Anatomy :

     Flan's P.O.V :  
Waking up to Michael jerking my body looking down at me, screaming wake up, wake up.... Sitting up with a killer headache and Michaels worried face in my face I pushed him away.
"Stop screaming you're giving me a headache-"
"Come one we got to go."
Jumping up, almost falling over I looked around.
"Are the cops here?"
"No, It's Gertie."
"What?"
"The ambulance is about to-"
I pushed passed him running through the hour, trying not to throw up because of my upset stomach. Walking out front I saw small crowds, a crowd of neighbors, fellow school mates and the EMTs. Rushing up I saw an unconscious Rudy, strapped down to a gurney. Waking up I pushed her hair out of her face, her face was all cut up, I realized she was in a neck brace.
"Who are-"
"I'm riding with her."
The lady nodded as I slide in next to her inside the ambulance. I felt tears running down my face , grabbing her limo hand I squeezed it, looking over at the EMT.
"Is she going to be okay?"
The EMT looked at me.
"I don't know."
I bit my lip and kept my eyes focused on her face, she had to be okay.

They wouldn't let me in the room with her, so I laid on one of the benches in the waiting room.
"Flan?"
Looking up I saw Vivian and peaches.
"Hey ."
"Is she okay, is she-"
"They wouldn't tell me anything, they were waiting for you to get here before they would-"
"Excuse me Doctor?"
She rushed always, peaches sat across from me and just stared at her feet.
"Peaches?"
"Mhm."
She looked up at me, her make up had been smeared, you could see she had been crying, she wasn't her perky old self.
"Do you have a dollar, I can use to get a soda."
"Oh sure."
She handed me two.
"Thanks."
"I want my change back!"
I waved her off turning the corner, looking at the soda machine I couldn't decided which soda I wanted , root beer or orange crush?.?. I ended up picking root beer. Waiting for my soda to come out I saw Michael dash by me.
"Over here Boozy."
He turned and looked relieved.
"Flan, any news on-"
"Gertie? No, what happened?"
"She-"
"Flan... She's awake."
I dropped my soda and followed peaches . I saw aunt Viv crying over her.
"No, one told me anything, I thought I-"
Rudy slowly turned her head to see me and peaches.
"Hey, Flan."
She smiled a little, she was still in the neck brace, he cuts were cleaned and bandaged up.
"How are you?"
I said, fighting the urge to jump on her and give her a huge hug.
"Well for being hit by a car, I guess you could say pretty good. I'm not dead."
She chuckled, but that chuckle turned into a cough.
"Take it easy Kiddo."
"Right, easy."
I laughed, eventually my parents called and summoned me home so I left, peaches called it a night after dropping me off. Michael was sleeping in the waiting room, aunt Viv stayed by Rudy's side.

Rudy's P.O.V :

Being confined to a hospital bed in a neck brace is not how I wanted to spend a week of my life. Flan came and visited me everyday after school, aunt Viv and peaches took shifts because someone had to run the bakery. But little did I know a Mr. Someone was in the waiting room, and hadn't left at all. Mr.Brady and his fiancée Claire tried to send me followers but aunt Viv kindly tossed them into the trash bin. Thanks anyways Mr.Brady, sort my aunt still isn't quite over you just yet, Flan brought movies to watch, she told me all the new drama going on (not that I cared), and mentioned that she did gather all my missing work up and paid someone to do it for me. All I could this was how incredibly sweet she was (lol.)

"Hey, Rudy you know that boys still in-"
"Did u ask him to leave."
"No, that is rude."
"Please tell him to leave."
"Okay."
Peaches shrugged, marching out and all I saw was her hand motions and Michael nodding, walking off. My head felt as if someone took a base ball bat to it , but I am glad to say no brain damage happened, and after eight and a half days I was discharged from the hospital but I wasn't allowed to go to school or take off the neck brace for a other week. While I was gone peaches and Flan re arranged my room to where the tv was in front of my bed , and I had a nightstand, they hooked me up but The first night was a bit uncomfortable but after that everything was okay.
There was a knock on my door.
"Come in."
In walks Flan with a pillow and blanket.
"Ugh."
"Don't worry both Vivian and my mom said it was okay."
I smiled.
"You don't-"
"I don't have to leave the comfort of my nice warm bed to help watch over and hang out with my crippled Bestfriend? I think I do!"
She plopped down in my pop up, fuzzy chair.
"Oh don't worry about me I'm just going to catch up on Greys."
She pulled out her lab top and head phones . Me on the other hand, was all caught up thanks to the free hospital time, but me I was still tired so I decided t was time to take a nap.
Well that nap ended up me falling asleep, and I would of still been sleeping if it wasn't for someone tapping on my window, rubbing my eyes, sitting up and turning my body to my window I saw Michael, waving to me.
"Open-"
"Not again."
Sliding out of bed I slowly walked to my window, looking at flan she was out like a light, I unlocked my window, sliding out I stepped in the little balcony.
Face to face with Michael I was stuck staring at his chest because I couldn't move my neck and head.
He bent down.
"Why have you been avoiding me?"
"Well, uhm why wouldn't I especially when you tried to kiss me then minutes laters I saw you kissing Bethany."
"Okay, let's get something straight, we would of kissed if you hadn't just stand there and -"
"Oh so this is about me."
"I'm just saying-"
"Well I'm just saying I have nothing to do with Bethany."
"She kissed me, okay. You saw it I pushed her away."
"Actually all I remember is getting hit by a car!"
"Well if you hadn't ran and let me explain-"
"Explain what, that I'm just some girl you want to get in bed win or something? Michael I'm not a cool kid, I'm not a cheerleader or a jock, I'm me and."
"And that's why I like you, because your not preppy, not a .... Total bitch."
He chuckled just as I punched his arm.
"Owh."
"Well it's not funny."
"It kind of is, you're cute when you're mad."
"Well your kind of cute when you're apologizing."
"Now that's kind of the point."
"Is that so"
He nodded, as he looked around I just stared at him, smiling.
"Is this thing suppose to be stood on?"
"Probably not."
"Well is that's the case, I'd ought to be going."
He walked over, the way he came ( I assume.)
"Wait."
"What I-"
I fell on my knees, grabbing he face, planting a quick one on him.
Pulling away, standing up I left him utterly surprised. As he vanished, turning around I saw Flan standing on the other side of the glass jumping up and down with joy giving me two thumbs up.
I smiled.
