Troubles [On Hold]

Hospital

The sound of the sirens outside, the cold walls and the strong smell of medication instantly brought Claudia back to her senses. At this point she knew were she was and remembered what happened as well.

Curtis: look who's finally awake

Claudia: Curtis, what are you doing here (slowly getting up)

Curtis: well my parents told me what had happened cause the university had called and informed them what AJ did to you

Claudia: AJ, is he.....

Curtis: no his not.

Claudia: what are they going to do to him?

Curtis: in all honesty I'm not sure. This isn't the first time this has happened

Claudia: really?

Curtis: well in the case of hurting someone physically it's new but emotionally it's not

Claudia: so your saying that I'm the first person his done this to?

Curtis: yes but hey you'll be fine. After the transplant you'll be totally....

Claudia: transplant (shocked) for which organ

Curtis: I don't know, they haven't said anything yet

Claudia: no, no, no this isn't good, I have to go and...

Claudia's mum: oh my goodness sweetheart (hugs her). Are you alright

Claudia: yeah I am but

Claudia's mum: no you are staying in this bed.... Oh sorry for not seeing you over there

Curtis: it's fine. I know how worried you are

Claudia's mum: a mother in distress is always worried. You must be Curtis?

Curtis: how did you?

Claudia's mum: my husband told me the day you dropped her home

Curtis: oh I forgot about that (starts to stand up)

Claudia's mum: oh please stay. She needs her friend here. Anyway the doctor told me that you'll need a transplant (worried)

Claudia: mum I don't need it

Claudia's mum: you do Hun

Claudia: but it will affect everything that I had been waiting for the past 2 years

Curtis: what are you talking about?

Claudia's mum: I don't know if it's ok

Claudia: you can tell him besides I trust him. I also know you were trying to do a background check on me

Curtis: how did you know?

Claudia: I overheard you, AJ and your dad talking the day I came

Curtis: sorry
