Alone

Pancakes

"WAKE UP GIRLS 7:30!!!" I hear Caroline yell from downstairs.

Well this is a great way to wake up. Having some lady I barely even know barking orders at me...great!

I hear Kendra roll out of bed and plop onto the ground. 

"Mffffff! Morning Cas." she says with sleep still in her voice. 

"Can we have five more minutes?" I say throwing the covers over my head trying to block out the light. 

"Sure if you want to have your free time taken away and replaced with more chores." she says leaving the room and heading to the bathroom to get dressed.

I follow Kendra's actions and plop down onto the floor, taking half of the bed with me. It took me  a few minutes until I was able to actually get up. Lazily, I walk to the dresser and take out the clothes that I was going to wear. I took out my black skinny jeans with my red flannel and my black beanie. 

If I am going to be stuck here, I might as well look good. 

Once Kendra was done in the bathroom, it was my turn. I close the door and look at myself in the mirror. My hair was all kinds of messed up and my eyes looked like they haven't seen sleep in ages.  

I began to put on my make up and fix my hair. Once I am done with those two things, I move to my leg. I still have to wear a wrap on it and change it every 5 hours. The nurses showed me how to do it and which medicine I should put on it. 

I take off the cloth and see how badly it still looks. It is still very swollen and very tender. The blood has dried on it so I take some tissues and clean off what little I could. As I was about to finish putting on the medicine and began to wrap it up, someone barged into the room.

"OH MY GOD I AM SO SO SO SO SO SORRY" a little red haired girl said. She must have been 7 years old at the most. 

"It's okay. Really it's okay. Im Cassy."

"I heard. I heard you come in last night but I was too shy to come say hi. Well....um....hi" she said shyly.

"Hi....uh whats your name?"

"Melony."

"Hi Melony, you have a nice name." 

"What happened to your leg? IT'S BLEEDING!!!" 

Crap she is getting scared.

"Its okay I just hurt my leg a few days ago while climbing a tree. Im fine the doctors fixed me up. I just have to put a new Band -Aid on it everyday. See...." I say as I put the wrap back onto my leg. After that I stand up to show her that it doesn't hurt. 

"All better see?" 

"It doesn't hurt?" 

"Nope."

"Oh good. Wanna help me make pancakes? I love pancakes!!" she said forgetting about seeing my leg.

"Sure! I love pancakes too."

"Last one down has to do the dishes!!!" she says bolting down the stairs.

She is so adorable. I wonder what happend to her?
