Chapter Four

I love his ears. . . I wish to touch them

"Weeee! Faster!" I unexpectedly heard Natalie's voice, but it didn't sound at all like her; it was high pitched and a bit off.

I turned my head to stare down the hall where both Elisha and I waited outside her private room. We had been at the hospital for hours, first waiting to be seen and then to wait again for x-rays.

"Mush, mush!" Her bed came into view and there she was sitting up and making a whipping motion with her left hand, as two orderlies - wearing green scrubs - pushed her bed down the corridor. She then burst into giggles, her eyes streaming with tears the closer she got.

Elisha looked to me just as I turned to stare down at her. What the fuck?

The Doctor - in his full length white coat - followed behind the bed; he was a stumpy man with short dark brown hair. He was currently looking down at his notes a pair of glasses perched on the end of his nose.

Elisha and I both stood up in unison when the bed stopped by her room.

"Whoa, Sea-biscuit's slow down." Natalie giggled out when one of them moved to slide open the door to her room.

"What's wrong with her?" Elisha whispered following into the room. I shrugged my shoulders unsure; It's like she is drunk. . . Granted I have never seen her drunk so I wouldn't know. The room was nondescript, plain white walls and grey flooring. There was a little window on the wall opposite the door we came through. There were also little cabinets and monitors on the right where the bed would be stationed in-between.

I walked around the bed and stood by the window on Natalie's right while Elisha walked to the cabinets.

"That's it boys just park me right here." Natalie spoke out drunkenly and then her blue eyes locked onto me and a smile pulled at her lush lips before she burst into laughter again, "Ha! Park! And you're Park!" She giggled and pointed at me as the orderlies started to reverse her into place.

"Whoa!. . . Reversing. . . Beep. Beep. Beep." She laughed as she mimicked the sound of a truck reversing, and then started clapping when they put the brakes on.

The Doctor stood by the foot of the bed still looking over his notes, flipping them over quietly.

"The X-rays look all clear. . ." He drawled out in Korean and I sighed in relief but Elisha was holding onto the railing of Natalie's bed, her knuckles were white from how tight her grip was.

Her greys eyes peered over to me, "Can you translate or get him to talk real slow?"

I was about to explain what the Doctor had said when Natalie looked up at the stumpy man and smiled, "What's up Doc!" And she began to wave at him with this strange happy look upon her face.

"What's wrong with her?" I snapped at him and he took his black rimmed glass from his nose so he could pinch the bridge before answering.

"Your cousin is fine-"

"Oh, yeah, I can tell she's looking great!" Elisha stated sarcastically as she waved a hand over Natalie's derpy behaviour not realising he answered in English.

"While we were examining Miss Hush she was complaining about the pain in her foot." She was complaining? Why didn't she say anything before!

"We gave her something for the pain but it seems to have had some adverse effects."

"Oh, yeah! No shit!" Elisha exclaimed, "She's on some good shit!" She added under her breath still sarcastic.

"There is nothing to worry about it will wear off in a few hours, but in the mean time she will act a little how do you say. . ." The Doctor deliberated and then looked off into the distance as if trying to find the right word.
