Matthew point of view

it was now Monday. Matthew slowly polled himself out of bed, what is this week going to bring him. He was not going to go to school this morning, he was going to get his leg looked at by the hospital. The swelling had gone down and the pot on his leg had to be put to the right size again.

“Matthew hurry up!! your gunna be late for the hospital!”

Matthew opened the door and waddled to the top of the stairs. He could see his sister brushing her hair in the mirror, and his mother writing something down. His mother looked up at him.

“your not dressed yet! Hurry up!! we need to leave soon!!”

“yeah, okay...” Matthew replayed in a can't be assed tone.

“mum's gunna give me a lift! So hurry or your gunna make me late!”

'great' Matthew though to him self, 'not only do I have to sit in hospital all day I have to list to Kelly all morning!'

once we arrived at the hospital Matthew was sat in a wheelchair.

“i can walk!!” Matthew was in no mood today.

“yes well the doctor dose not want you on that foot!” his mother replayed.

Matthew go cheeked in, and it wasn't long before a cute nurse come in to talk to him.

“the doctor is going to send you up for an x-ray, he want to make sure that the bone in your leg has not move. This is only because your leg has lost a lot of swelling!”

“right...” Matthew mumbled under his breath. The nurse left with mathew's chart and the room was filled with silence once again.

“Matthew hun... I have to get to work! Call me when your ready to come home.”

“sure” Matthew mumbled once again, a bit peed off that his mother wont even stay with him. His mother suddenly went diving down her hand bag and pulled out her purse.

“there” she handed his £20. “get your self something nice to eat at the café once you have done with your x-ray! Wait...” she want back in her purse and pulled out anther £5 and handed to him. “get your self come nice coffee and well. Have to run... remember mummy loves you!” she quickly kissed him on the cheek and left.

'i'm not a baby any more!' Matthew thought as he wiped the kiss for his face. 'and how the hell can I spend £25 on food!! whatever... money is money I guess'

not long after his mother left, Matthew was taken for his x-ray. He layed back and waited for the doctor to take him back to his room.

'I should say sorry to Josh, I did hit him for no reason. And I was kinda an ass to him... I guess...' he thought to him self as his doctor came back in the room.

“all done Matthew, you would have to wait about 2 hours before the doctor would be able to talk to you! Is there anywhere you wanted to go?”

“the café... if that’s okay...?” he mumbled once again.

“sure is kiddo!” the doctor handed Matthew's wheelchair over to the cute nurse from be for “take him to the café!”

'kiddo... KIDDO... how old dose he think I an 5!!'

the arrived at the café, Matthew was still mad at the fact the doctor call his kiddo. Looking at the prices of the food did not help his mood.

“£9.50 for chips, cheese and grave, £5 for coffee!! that like £14” he exclaimed.

“yeah the food here is quite expensive” the nurse smiled “if you want I will order your food?”

“its fine... it not like in disabled... I can get it myself!”

“i was only saying as I get a 25% discount for working at the hospital”

'25%... that would be about... £3.63 off my meal... meaning I would pay £10.87'

“fine” Matthew finely mumbled, and handed her the money.

Sat at the table Matthew and the Nurse had finishes their food. And was now happily chatting away.

“your father is Harry Lanluck, right?”

“yeah... do you know him?”

“know him... we used to date... I interdicted him to your mother” she smiled.

“wow! Why did you lose contact?”

“when me and him broke up we said some really bad things. I done regret most of them.” the Nurse stared into her cup of coffee.

“I’m sorry... my dad can be kind of an ass when he's angry.”

“that’s okay... it was a long time ago... I must have changed, lily didn't even know it was me.”

“mum can be a little bank sometimes!”

when they got back to Matthew's room the doctor came in with his x-ray. “your leg is fine, I’m happy with they was its healing. I'm going to have it recast for three more weeks then it can be bandages. Once you leg is back in plaster, your free to go!” and with that about an hour and a half later, the nurse wheeled Matthew out to meet his father.

“Sorry kid, your mother's busy with work. Hope you don't mind me coming and getting you?”

“i'm not a kid!” Matthew mumbled.

“he's fine, he has to be back here in about 3 weeks.”

“yeah...” Harry looked the nurse in the eyes, he know her from somewhere. “is that you Chloe...?”

the nurse smiled.

-3 weeks later-

Matthew was on his way home from college. he had to walk as mum and dad was going to catch up with that nurse Chloe, but it was okay. The doctor said that his leg should be fine, he need to keep it badged and use one crutch for a about a mouth to keep it supported, but after that he could started to walk with out. His injury was not as bad as it looked at first. he was really relieved.

“MATTHEW!!” he turned to see Scott running up to him. Oh yeah he had been avoiding him as much as he could, after what happened at Scott's house. But their was no way, Matthew was going to have to talk to him.

“hay Matty!!” Scott said patting Matthew on the shoulder.

“its Matthew!!”

“sorry... anyway, I have not see you in like years!! what you up to? Want to come over!” Scott smiled.

“can't I have homework to do...” Matthew lied

“oh, okay then...” Scott stopped still leaving Matthew to walk ahead. But Scott was not going to give up that easily. Grabbing Matthew he pulled him down a small path at the side on the college. “look I have the feeling that you don't want to see me! And its starting to bug me!!”

“its not like I don't want to see you its just... after what happened...” Matthew looked down at his shoes.

“i love you Matthew...”

'wait what did he say?' Matthew looked up at Scott and gazed into his eyes.

“i love you... and I need you to be mine, but I want to be happy. So go out with me or don't, its just to you.” Scott walked away from Matthew, leaving him alone to think.
