You & Me Against The World

Chapter 14

(Amy's POV)

I must of fell asleep soon after Jc left the hospital, although I cannot remember him leaving, I cannot remember anything.

I rubbed my eyes as the lids protecting them slowly stretched open, my vision focused I turned my head to my left, I see my phone. My whole body throbs as I go to reach it. I grunt with pain as I lean back on to the hard hospital bed, I pressed the unlock button on my iPhone, it was 10:00 am on August 24 2014, the day I find out the reason why I'm even here!

(Jc's POV)

I walked out of the room to hide my embarrassment, I knew that I shouldn't of felt embarrassed but I just did.

As I was walking out of the morbid hospital, I accidentally bumped into Amy's nurse.

"Sorry" I say as I look up to her smooth brown face.

"Jc, hi! Why aren't you with Amy, are you both okay?" the nurse replies.

"I thought I'd stretch my legs for a bit and plus she's sleeping, do you have her results back yet?" I ask nervously.

"Yes, in fact I was just heading to Amy now to deliver the news, I would ask you to join us but I'm afraid it's family only, I'm so sorry" she says with a frown engraved on her face.

"It's fine, I best be going anyway. Whilst you're with her will you please give her this note? Wait actually, just leave it on the table next to her, private stuff you know?" I say nervously, hoping that none of her family notice or read it.

"I will Jc, I'll hopefully see you around." the nurse says with a wink as she turns around and heads towards her room.

(Amy's POV)

I use my arms to lift my body up, the word painful is an understatement. My arms are so weak, they were never this weak before. As soon as I managed to sit my body up against the pillow of the bed, my parents walked in to the room, followed by my nurse Kayleigh.

"Good morning Amy" Kayleigh says as she sits herself down on the chair beside me.

"Good morning!" I reply.

"How are you feeling today?" My parents ask, worriedly.

"I feel fine actually, my body just hurts whenever I move"

"It will do, you fell pretty hard!" Kayleigh interrupts.

"What even happened?" I ask, faintly remembering someone told me what happened before but I just cannot quite remember who.

"You fainted, we did tests on you to see if there were any causes to the fainting and luckily there wasn't! Your blood pressure came back perfect! You are able to go home today, just please be careful since you broke a few bones here and there."

I broke bones. That's why my body hurts so bad. I look down to my arm, it is strongly wrapped up in a bandage, so is my pinky finger. They were like caterpillars in a cocoon.

"Your back is also very bruised, I would advise resting for a couple of weeks before you go back to school."

"I just relax anyway in the summer it's fine!" I exclaim with a giggle, but then mark a frown on my face as I remember that I had plans with Jc.

"Thank you nurse K" my father says happily.

"Call me Kayleigh" she replies walking out of the room.

"Do you want a cup of tea before we take you home?" My mum politely offers,

"Yes please" I reply with a smile.

My mum and Dad walked out of the room, my dad follows her everywhere, he's like a dog on a lead.

...

Time passed and it was finally time to go home, I had to travel by wheelchair now as most of my bones were either broken or badly bruised. I look over to Kayleigh, she is tidying the room before the next patient came in, just before my dad opened the door for us all to exit, Kayleigh grabbed a small looking note from the table which was beside the bed, she then walked towards me. As she stood in front of me I opened my hand and she gently placed the note in it, it even hurt to move my fingers. I protected the note with the heat of my hands and refused to read it until I arrived back home.

"It's from Jc, he said it was private." Kayleigh whispered faintly into my ear with a giggle as I spun the wheel chair around to face the door,

"Thankyou" I whisper back whilst wheeling myself out of the hospital, I turn back at her, smiling.
