Chapter 15: Not just any Leather Jacket

"Thalia, Thalia. Thalia dear wake up," I try to jump out of bed, but get stopped by a tangle of wires attached to me.

The nurse grabs me by the shoulders and looks me in the eye. "Thalia, you're in the hospital, remember?"

The memories come flooding back, I start to calm down. I embrace Prudence the nurse like she is my mum.

She pats my hair and breaks our hug, with her hands resting on either side of my shoulders. "Now darling, today we are going to get all of theses chords off you and get you ready to meet your new family,"

OMG I so forgot! Their coming today! I try to rush past her, but I trip.

She rushes over to me and chuckles. " did I not tell you! Your still hooked up to these machines,"

Prudence helps me up and detaches me from the beepy things.

She gestures towards a pile of clothes, with a note on top.

Heard you were moving and I wanted you to have these, with help from my sisters -S

I smile at the note and look at the outfit. Black, ripped skinny jeans, a Green Day half top, black ankle boots and a black leather jacket that looks very familiar.

After I put on my outfit, I look down at the jacket. I put it on and a rich chocolatey aroma fills the air. It was Sam's jacket, the one he always wore. He loves this more than his bike, and he loves his bike!

I hug myself in his jacket, feeling closer to him. I am never washing this jacket.

I am interrupted by a squeaky door opening with two friendly faces walking in with Prudence.

"Hi, I'm Andrea and this is Nelson my husband. We are the Wilson's," my jaw drops, They are the Wilson's! I expected them to be older but they look like they are just in their late 30s. They do not look mean or fake, and they look very happy to see me.

"I'm Thalia,"

Mrs Wilson starts to tear up and rushes to me, clutching me in a tight embrace. Mr Wilson is smiling and shaking his head at his hysterical wife.

"Andrea has always wanted an older daughter, she even made Felix do ballet and cook with her,"

I chuckle and return the hug. She pulls away and smiles, playing with my hair. She then looks at my outfit, what are they going to say about my piercings and my love of half tops.

"I love Green day!" Well I did not expect that! " my favourite song is 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams', what is yours?"

"Aren't you going to say something about what I wear?"

"No, unless if it's a dress that stops at your hips, or skirts that look like belt. I love your belly button ring, I was going to have one when I was young but my friend had problems with hers that scarred me for life," she shivers at her memory and continues to smile towards me.

I turn back to Prudence silently giving her a 'what-do-ya-think-about-them?' look. She smiles and nods.

Mr Wilson picks up my bags, I didn't see those before..

I notice a small yellow card taped to the case, "wait! I will take that," I say as kindly as possible without sounding like a looney.

"Okay, Thalia. We will be outside, whenever you're ready," he smiles and leads his wife out.

I leap over to the case and flip open the paper card,

Here is some things to remember us by, don't forget me -Samuel xx
