Chapter 18

The drive to the hospital was a long one since Luke just had to make the decision to bring me guys to a secluded place.

I glance at him from the backseat where I'm laying down and see him constantly checking my reflection through the rear view mirror. I prop myself onto my elbows.

"How much longer? I swear I'm loosing circulation." I whined.

Luke glances back and I see him biting his lip ring in worry.

"Eyes on the road Lucas!"

He turns back around but nevertheless continues checking on me from the mirror

"Aah. Just a few more minutes darling. I'm going as fast as I can." He says guilty.

Sighing, I lay back down and decide to sing a song.

"He was a boy, and she was a girl. Can I make it any more obvious?"

Luke rudely interrupts my singing with a chuckle and asks, "How are you not freaking out about this? I mean, you broke your ankle."

I shrug. "I don't know. I've just always wanted to break a bone I guess. Not like this obviously," I roll my eyes and Luke sheepishly sends a smile my way. "But I guess this is fine too."

Luke just shakes his head and has a goofy smile. I hear him mumble something along the lines of "You really are something else." But I'm slowly dozing off so I can't really tell.

The last thing I hear is him apologising again and then I blackout.

-

I wake up and the first thing I see is a doctor checking the IV drip attached to my arm. I groggily try getting up but feel a sharp pain in my ankle.

"Ow fuck!" I exclaim.

The doctor turns around and may I say he was very good looking. He chuckles shaking his head, where a mop of curls lay.

He looks pretty young. And has nice hazel eyes.

"Language." He says sternly and I just mumble a half assed apology.

"Sorry. Uh you are...?"

"Oh right sorry. I'm Doctor Irwin, I helped with the surgery."

Surgery?!

Noticing my shocked expression, he just smiles and shakes his head while rolling the sleeves of his Doctors coat up.

"We just had to insert some needles to ensure your bone healed properly. Nothing to major." Hearing this I relax instantly. As soon as I do that another thought crosses my mind.

"But wait I can't afford surgery! I'm broke as hell. And my Mom's out of country for a business trip."

Doctor Irwin just has a little smirk and says, "Don't worry about that, doll. I helped take care of that."

Hearing the pet name I immediately start to go red. I mumble a thank you and tuck a loose hair behind my ear. He looked like he was gonna say something but his name gets called over the PSA.

"Paging Doctor Irwin. Doctor Irwin to OR 5 STAT. Thank you."

He closes his mouth and scrunches his nose up. "Duty calls. Till next time sweet cheeks."

I just nod awkwardly as he makes his way out.

That was hella weird.

Oh crap, Luke! Where the hell is that breadstick?

I look around for my phone and see it on the small table next to me.

Picking it up I see Snapchat notifications and a few other messages.

I open the Snap from Luke first. It's a picture of his feet under a table with the text "Dumbass meetings. Sorry I can't come visit you." I bite my lip and smile, shaking my head at his 'dorkiness'. I open the second one and it's a picture of him pouting with the words "Sorry Scarlet :-("

That dumbass nose of his.

I sigh and check my other messages. Few from Cal and some more from my Mom.

Cal being Cal, is very worried since she hasn't heard from me since yesterday.

"Hoe where are you?! Haven't seen you in 393845 hours! Text my ASAP."
2:30am

I roll my eyes and send a quick text back. I then proceed to check my the messages from my Mom.

"Have to stay in Singapore for a while longer dearie. Clients are being 'Guai lan'. That's Singaporean slang for annoying! I'll talk to you later. Love you loads baby, bye."
3:14pm

"Maybe another week or so. Sorry again! Hope everything fine for you."
3:30pm

Well at least she's having fun. Great parenting BTW.

I sigh and switch my phone off, deciding to take a nap for a while since the medicine was already making me drowsy.

I'm so unproductive.
