The Tears That Took Time ( T5 )

Scared

Favour's P. O. V

Driving like a mad woman gives me thrills but I can't even enjoy this one and I'm supposed to..

"O Tasha, Tasha, what have you done to yourself this time." all I can think of right now is her in the hospital.

"hey, Stupid! Get in your lane and stay there", some woman is shouting at me.

Normally, I'll flip her off but I can't even lift a hand to do that. I get to the hospital in 13 minutes, can't even enjoy that. I walk up to the entrance door and stop. That's when it hits me. Seeing all the chaos going on inside, I'm suddenly scared and I know I'm about to loose it.

Tasha is really here. I know she has her shit and all but the person responsible for this is about to get a bed of his own. I go in and make my way to reception.

"good afternoon ma, how may I..."

"save it lady. First name Tasha, last name Carson."

" Ma if you will please fill out this form and..."

"First name Tasha, last name Carson. What room's she in"

"ma'am please if you will just... "

" hey bimbo. No.1, I'm just 21. I can accept ma but not ma'am, I'm not 40. No.2, don't you get it? I'm not in for protocols. Just need the room number of Tasha Carson."

" miss please, if you will just... "

" don't worry Bethany, I'll take it from here", a lady with a stethoscope says while walking up to us.

"Oh. Dr. Suess, thank goodness. I've been trying to explain to this young lady that she has to fill a form before I attend to her. "

" Thank you Bethany. I'll handle this now. " The lady turns to me and stretches out a hand." hi,  you must be Favour Manuel. I've been expecting you. "

I fold my hands across my chest and look at her, "and you must be Dr. This is the way to Tasha's room because if not, I don't see why I should be talking to you. "

" wow," she puts down her hand and chuckles, "you really are a force to reckon with. I'm so glad to meet you," she says, turning to walk down a corridor, "Tasha's room is this way and I'm Dr. Naz Suess but you can call me Naz or Dr. Naz."

"okay Naz, so on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being worse, how's she? "

" right now, she's at a 2, and it's a good thing. "

" hmmm, so why do you say it like there's a mud waiting to splash the clean water somewhere? " I ask her as we go up a flight of stairs and turn right.

We stop in front of the 3rd door." because, " she sighs," there is a mud, but we'll discuss that later. Now, this is her room.  She's definitely expecting you. Take your time but keep it down and I will see you soon. " she smiles and turn to leave.

" hey doctor," I call before she walks off, "thanks a lot for everything, but quick advice, you need to let desk bimbo go. She's too much of a cry baby and I was being nice. "

" I hear you Tiger, " she says laughing. " just go easy on Tasha in there alright? Take care. " she turns and leaves.

I stand at the door smiling to myself. I love this lady already. I take a deep breathe and put my hand on the doorknob ready to go in. Naz said she's good,  how bad could she? Maybe I'm just overreacting.
