Jess
I, Jess Smith have been single for over a year and a half and I don't know how to feel about it. I mean I'm happy but there's a part of me missing, I need someone in my life. I need a partner in crime, my other half. I need them.

I was wondering around Westfield looking for the H&M, I can never find my way around here. I managed to find it and look for a cute outfit for tonight. I was looking for my size in a cute shirt I found but eventually gave up and walked away. In the process of walking away I got tripped and I fell on my arm, thinking nothing of it, I leant on my arm to push myself up but just collapsed to the floor again. The person who tripped me had a face full of worry holding her hand out to help me up. Once I was standing the women offered to take me to the hospital but I said no and that I can take care of myself but she insisted and we walked out of H&M together. It was only when we got in her car that I realised who she was.
A - Adele, J - Jess
J - I'm Jess. I say holding my good arm out to shake her hand.
A - Adele, nice to meet you. Sorry for tripping you. She says shaking my hand.
J - oh no that's fine I'm sure I only just broke my arm.
A - only! Have you never broken a bone before? She asked me shocked.
J - no never. But I hope you don't mind I'm going to start crying now, this fucking hurts.
A - yeah sure. She says with a little giggle while grabbing my other hand and rubbing her thumb back and fourth. I gently pull back my hand and set it on my lap, looking up at Adele who just did a sad smile.

20 minutes later we make it to the hospital and head straight for the ER. Once we sat down a little girl about 5 made her way over to us smiling widely.
Bianca - Are you Adele?
A - I am, what's your name and who are you here with?
B - my name is Bianca and I'm with my mummy she's over there with my little brother, he hurt himself. She says sweetly while pointing at them.
A - how about you go get mummy's phone so we can take a photograph?
B - yeah! Mummy mummy I need your phone! she says yelling across the ER
A - isn't she just the cutest? Adele asks me
J - she's adorable and has such a good vocabulary for her age.
B - here. she says handing Adele her mums phone.
A - come sit on my lap so we can take it.
B - ok.
A - there you go sweetheart, go show mummy. She obeys Adele and goes off running.

About an hour later they call my name, finally I thought. The first thing they did was X-Ray my arm, that took about 10 minutes. The doctor finally came back and clarified that my arm was definitely broken. He said I'd have to wear a splint for 7 days and then to come back here for a cast. He put the splint on my arm and I was told I could leave. I explained to Adele that I would have to come back in 7 days to which she replied that she would join me and asked for my number.

When I got home it was about 5pm and realised that I didn't have anything to wear out tonight and also not enough time to get ready so I notify Bec, my best friend and immediately get a call.
B - hey what's up, what happened?
J - I got tripped today and I ended up breaking my arm and not finding anything to wear so I can't come tonight I'm so sorry.
B - that is totally fine Jess, I don't really feel like going can I come over?
J - sure, I've got nothing for dinner though.
B - I'll get McDonald's on the way
J - alright sweet see you in an hour then.
B - bye bye love.

Many hours later
Bec and I were sprawled over my bed when my phone dinged. I groaned and got up to check it. It was from an unknown number but I decided to read it anyway:
Sorry about today, it was nice hanging out with you. Catch up soon xx - Adele.
I smiled at the thought of hanging out with Adele more and realised I hadn't told Bec that I had met her all time favourite person, I decided to wait until morning. I text Adele back saying it was nice to meet her and that we should hang out.
