Feeling Blue

Feeling Blue- chapter 14

Dad started the land rover as we were on our way to see Leo. I was in front while, Joseph was in the best seat. That his seat from now on. Dad turned out of the school car park and headed up the main road to the hostipal. It started to rain heavy and Joseph started crying. I saw Dad having trouble with seeing the road because of the rain. Joseph was making a racket behide him. 'Can you make your brother shut up Clara? It driving me up the wall.' Dad shouted as he sat forward, trying to see the road. 'Have you got any of his toys?' I ask him.

'What?' Dad shouted.

'The little rabbit that Marina's mom gave him or the turtle. Just something.' As we had towards traffic lights, I unclipped my seat belt and climbed into the back to join Joseph. I looked inside out and about bag and couldn't find a toy. 'Clara what do you think your playing at?' He shouted at me! 'Entertaining your son so, you can consecrate. ' He stared at me and Joseph was screaming in the background. 'Fine, just stay seated as we are near the hospital. ' Thr traffic lights turn green and Dad spead down the duel carriage way.

By the time we got to the hospital, I found a dummie to put in Joseph's mouth. We were going around in circles trying to find a parking space. Marina didn't even have her own parking space and she worked there it outrageous if you ask me. When Dad finally found one, it was miles away from the hospital. Will we be there in time. I looked at my phone to cheek the time. It was 14:30, nearly time for all kids to escape school. When Dad finally got Joseph out, we are dashed to accident and emergency department. It was so busy. Lots of injured people walking or getting pushed in beds. Doctors and nurses rushing around to save lives. The last time I was here was when I was at primary school and I was on the monkey bars. I was trying to flip over on them like Jess could do and my other mate Danni could do. She gone to the other secondary school, where Carter has gone too. I had a good attempt at it and then landed on my left arm. I was rushed here and waited for two hours. So, it been a while.

We see Marina walking around like a lost puppy. Worried as sick. She finished her shift half a hour ago. I ran over to her and hug her. 'Aha Clara, there is no news.' Dad face drops and I bury my head into Marina, she puts her arms around me. 'Why didn't you take Joseph to his child- minder's, this isn't a place for a baby!' Marina shouted at Dad.

'What was I suppose to do with him. I didn't know Leo was going to have an accident. Plus, you dumped him on me while you worked!' Marina gave Dad the evil stare and Joseph started crying in Dad's arms. 'I do not dump our children. Joseph is both of our responsibility and Joseph could catch anything so please take him. Now!' You wouldn't like to be by Marina when she pissed off or angry, especially about Joseph. Joseph is her first child and she will do anything to protect him. She treats Leo and I as her own. She is better than my mom will ever be.

Dad pushed Joseph up on his arm. and he walked out of the accident department. Marina sat back down and I sat down with her. 'Your Dad does not have a responsibility button. God, he should no a hospital is not a safe place for a baby that young.' She picks up a women's magazine and flicked through the pages. I stare at my feet. My phone goes off.

Its says 'Dan calling!' Well, I don't know what's happening with Leo and everything so, I better tell him to get on with his life and I will get on with mine!

I stand up and walk around to answer my phone.

'Hello Dan.' I said in a bored voice.

'Clara what happened? You went out in English.' He sounded worried. Why should I care? He was talking shit today giving my bloody excuses. It pretty obsesses he dating Skye. I don't give a shit. I'm with Josh. End of. 'Stuff, just I don't need your shit with Skye. We are over Dan!' I shouted through the phone.

'But..., Clara you don't understand!' He shouted being desprate.

'OVER!' I shouted back and hung up on him. I dashed back to waiting room and sat back next to Marina. I burry my head into her coat and went to sleep!

I openned my eyes immediately as Marina made a slight move. I heard Marina voice echo through her arm. I see Marina talking to a doctor. His hair flat while his stethoscope was around his neck. 'So, is there any news?' Marina asked.

'I'm sorry, Mrs Andrews but there is no news on Leo making
