“Aadin! Aadin! You’re going to be late!”
I looked over at the door that lead out to the church. “No! I can’t be late!” I ran out the door, till I reached where the doors lead to the aisle.
*********************************************************
“AADIN!”
I sat up suddenly, and looked over at my alarm clock. I was going to be late for school.
“SHIT!”
I threw my covers off, and swung my feet over the edge of the bed. I quickly stood up, and then grabbed clothes before pulling them on as quick as I could, and running out the door grabbing my bag along the way.
I ran down the hallway of the building, and rather than waiting for the elevator I yanked open the stairwell door. Just as I went to step onto the first step, I stumbled, and then took a fall down the stairs. I landed on my back on the landing, and then sat up slowly.
Groaning, I moved my left leg to get up, and yelped from pain. I looked down at my leg, and then pressed my hand against it yelping again. I quickly pulled my cell from my bag, and looked through my contacts. I quickly found Jillian, and hit the call button.
“Hello?”
“Hi Jillian, umm.. I’m going to need to be taken to the hospital… I think my leg is broken..”
“Oh shit… Ok let me get John, and we will come get you where are you?”
“Stairwell landing…”
“Ok, we will be there!”
A few minutes later both Jillian, and John came down the stairs.
“Oh god are you ok? Is anything else hurt?”
“No, just my leg…”
John crouched down, and slowly put his arm beneath my legs. I winced as he did, and then closed my eyes tightly as he lifted me up. Jillian grabbed my bag, and then I was carried downstairs. Upon exiting the building, Jillian ran over to the car, and pulled open the back door. John slid me in carefully, and then buckled me in like he would a child.
Jillian climbed into the drivers seat, and John into the passenger’s seat. We quickly took off away from the building, and towards the hospital. Laying down in the back seat of the car, I sighed, and closed my eyes. I quickly fell asleep, and went back to enjoying my dream of marrying Quxxin.
*********************************************************
I woke to the sound of a tv playing, and Jillian talking to Amanda.
“What are you drawing there?” She asked.
“I’m drawing Aadin, and Quxxin!”
“Awwww.. that’s sweet.”
I yawned, and slowly sat up. Jillian looked over, at me, and smiled.
“Morning sleepyhead.”
“Hey.”
I looked over at my leg and grimaced at the large cast around my leg. The door was suddenly flung open, and Quxxin came running in.
“OMG! Babe! Are you ok?!”
Quxxin quickly came over to me, and leaned down hugging me. I laughed a little bit, and hugged him back.
“I’m fine Quxxin, I really am.”
Quxxin pulled back, and looked at my leg, as if judging for himself that I was ok. I smiled, and pushed myself up more. Quxxin looked over, and pressed the button to move the bed up into a sitting position.
“Thank you.”
“No problem.”
Quxxin leaned over the the bed, and kissed me. Jillian smiled, and turned back to Amanda, who was standing up.
“I gotta go pee…” She stated.
We all looked over at her, and I nodded to her as if I was wearing a cowboy hat.
“Thanks for the information little missy.”
Amanda giggled, and then scurried over to the bathroom, which she entered. Closing the door she locked it, and as she did John entered the hospital room. He held up several packages of chocolate pudding.
“Pudding!”
Jillian, stood up, and then walked over to John. “Pudding sounds good to me! Aadin? Quxxin?”
“Oh yes please!” Both Quxxin and I responded.
Amanda then stepped out of the bathroom, and jumped up and down, with her hand in the air.
“Oh! Me too! Me too!” We all laughed, and John handed her a thing of pudding.
Amanda pulled open the thing of pudding, and took up a plastic spoon to begin eating. John walked over, and handed me a thing of pudding, and a spoon. I took it, and pulled it open. Quxxin took his, but refused a spoon, as he decided to use his tongue as a utensil. I laughed as I watched Quxxin eat his pudding.
Finishing my pudding, Quxxin took the empty container from me hand, and threw it into the garbage like a basketball. I smiled, and when he turned back to me, I pulled him down onto the bed by the collar of his shirt. Quxxin’s eyes widened, as he landed on the bed. I smiled, and then pulled him closer to me kissing him.
“Gross…” Amanda said, sticking out her tongue.
Jillian, and John laughed, and Quxxin pulled away from me. Quxxin stuck his tongue out at Amanda.
“Hmmm….” Amanda narrowed her eyes at Quxxin.
I laughed at the both of them, and then leaned back, and looked up at the television.
“So how long am I stuck here?” I asked.
“Just a few weeks, think you can handle it?”
“Yeah sure, just as long as Quxxin comes and visits everyday.”
“Of course!” Quxxin said smiling.
“Good.”
