We walked into the hospital and went to the woman at the front desk.
"Hello, how can we help you today?" She said. Jack just lifted up my hand, showing my now red towel.
"Oh okay, please take a seat in the reception and a doctor will be with you shortly, while your waiting, please fill in these forms" She handed Shawn a clip board and pen. We nodded and walked towards the blue plastic seats. I took the board from my cousin and placed it on my lap.
First question: Name: April Mendes-Phillips.
Birthday: 24/12/1997
Injury: deep cut to the left hand
How did it happen: I was cleaning up some glass.
I filled up some more of the unimportant questions and waited for my doctor to come.
"Mrs Phillips? This way please" well I guess they remember me.
"What happened this time April?" Dr Iman said. Yes I'm here regularly
"I cut my hand on glass" I said sitting on the white bed of room 243.
He replied with a okay and pulled out his needle kit thingy.
Thirteen stitches later and my hand was fine.
"Okay April I'll send Nat in to sort you out and send you home." He said leaving the room.
"How do you know him?" Shawn said as soon as he left the room.
"I volunteer with the little kids on weekends." Half true, I'm also here when I get bad beatings.
"Umm okay, who's Nat?" Jack said getting out of his seat and sitting next to me on the bed, pulling me into a hug.
"She's one of the nurses." Again, half true, she's also the one that signs my release papers. There was a knock on the door and in walked a brown haired, middle aged, short woman. Nat.
"Hey A" she said getting my clip board.
"Hi N"
"What happened this time?"
"I was cleaning up glass that I dropped when I found out my cousin and best friend were staying." I said pointing to Shawn and Jack.
"Okay, I'll sign and you can leave, are you still here on Sunday tho?" She said while doing her thing. I nodded and snuggled closer to Jack. "See you there then. Maybe your friends can come along too. You know what to do with these." She handed me the clip board and left the room.
"Ready?"
"Ready." I replied to Shawn standing up and getting Jacks hand and walking to the front desks.
I walked down the halls of the hospital with my papers in one hand and my other one intertwined with jacks . Shawn didn't notice at first, but when he did, he just smiled to himself and skipped in the elevator. Me and J walked in after and Shawn pressed the button for the bottom floor. As we walked past reception I just popped the paperwork that was in my left hand, the one that was cut, and placed them on the desk for Poppy- The nice 28 year old that does most for the paperwork filing.
We walked to the car park and looked for my baby. There she was, my little lemon coloured mini. Shawn pulled my keys out of his pocket.
"You driving?" He said to me. I shock my head and raided my hand that wasn't with J's.
He just chuckled and got in the front while me and Jack got into the back. Lucy started and we was off.
"So what now? Pizza or Nandos?" Jack said getting his iphone from his pocket.
"Bitch, what do you think?" I laughed. I looked over to Gilinsky phone. His screan-saver was a picture of Shawn, Me, Him, Johnson,Aaron, Nash, Cam, Hayes and Sam. Wow. Its funny how such a small thing can bring back so many memories. I can remember that exact moment.
"APRIL!" My mother shouted.
"Coming mummy" I said back.Yes I'm 13 and I still call my mother mummy. I stood up straitened my Pink Princess dress and made sure my converse was tied right.
"Hello, my lady" Sam said offering me his hand as I walked out of my room. I laughed at him, not because of what he said, because of what he was wearing. You see as a 13 year old, I was very determand not to wear a dress. But my mum had other ideas, you see for my birthday party she wanted a Princess themed party. So because I was forced to wear a dress, my 16 year old brother told everyone who was coming they had to be in a dress. And for a 13 year old, to see my only brother in a yellow 'princess belle' dress, you could say that I was pretty amused.
I took his hand and he span me around . Giggling we both walked down my house stairs to find my friends around a cinderella dress cake. Each one of them wearing; a dress and Cam even put in extra effort by wearing pink high healed shoes.
"Okay then everybody get in, around the cake!" My mum said. So we did and she took a photo with the camera I recently got that day.
I think it was fair to say that day was my best and worst day.
"April, are you okay?!" Jack said lifting his had and wiping it across my now damp cheeks.
"What? Yeah I'm fine. Sorry. But J can you please do me a favour?" I said looking up at him.
"Yeah, what's up?"
"Email me that photo?" I said looking back at his phone. And almost instantly my phone buzzed. I put my password in and loaded the photo up putting it as my screensaver. I looked up to see Jack smiling at me putting his arm around my shoulder.
