CHAPTER THIRTEEN : PART II :
SMALL KINDNESSES

06:30 am.

El would be up by now.
Mel quickly texted Elara and let her know where she was and ran off to the parking lot to head home before the morning rush comes in.

'By all means please get some sleep, people are going to start thinking zombies are for real.'
Dr.Lee claimed.

'Man,do I look that bad? I'll do that.'
Mel replied and waved goodbye.

He waved goodbye and headed back inside.

She walked to where her car was, but maybe it was the lack of sleep taking a toll on her, she almost put her car keys into the wrong car door.

She hit her head mumbled to herself about how stupid she was and at last found her car.

She was thankful that she had parked the car right outside the hospital bulding.

This meant she could get out and home faster.

I'll be home in no time
Mel thought.

She got into the drivers seat and put her head on the steering wheel and her eyes grew droopy and in no time, she fell asleep.

No REM sleep this time but good old deep sleep with no dreams and lots of snoring.

Mel was deep in sleep when someone softly tapped on the wind shield in an attempt to get sleepy head Mel's attention but no avail.

The person put in more force and tapped louder to which Mel woke up with a jolt.

She rubbed the sleep from her eyes to see who was daring enough to disturb her sleep.

Realization hit her when she remembered exactly where she was.

Still in front of the hospital

She sighed and pulled the shutter down,
'What do you want Davids?'
Quite annoyed that it was mudskipper who had woken her up.

After all, who else would dare right?

'You look terrible Reynolds,you are definitely not getting home being this drowsy'

'Dude, dude, I can drive with my eyes closed so, move! So I can go home and get some sleep!'

'Right, right,good luck trying not to kill anyone.'

Mel rolled her eyes and got her engine started.

She was obviously still sleepy. No human can really function with no sleep after all.

She sluggishly turned the stirring wheel and instead of turning right she turned left almost almost running into Mark but she had enough conscious to apply the break immediately,
missing him by an inch.

She was wide awake now alright.

And she almost killed Mark.

Mark looked terrifed.

He was almost killed afterall.

He stomped his way bursting with anger to the side of Mel's car, banging on the shutter until Mel open it.

'Okay, okay, I'm sorry! I'm going to really go now alright!'

'No you're not! You almost ran me over Reynolds I know you hate me but seriously!'

'Im sorry!'

'Get out.'

'What!?'

'Get out of the damn car! I'll drive you home women!'

Woah whoa is Mudskipper doing me a favour? Mel thought.

Mark continued,
'I know you can't grasp the fact yet with that slow brain of yours but I don't really want to spend another morning shift in the ER because some sleep deprived wallaby was driving.'

'Hey!fine!'

Mel gave in.
She was just too tired to argue.

Mel got off the drivers seat and went to the other side to get into the passenger seat and Mark took the wheel.

Once they were steadily going, Mel spoke,

'Are you sure you're not going to run into a tree or something,so that you can finally be rid of me?'

'And kill myself in the process? No thank you.
Besides if I wanted to really get rid of you I would have let you drive.'

Mel nodded,too tired to reply.

Right after,she fell asleep.

Since the journey to her home wasn't too long, her full fledged slumber was yet again interrupted.

'Get up!' Mark's voice boomed right next to Mel's ear.

She got up so fast she almost hit her head in the car roof.

'Yah!you crazy!? How hard is to be a little less loud!?'

'I did!for ten minutes! Get out! we're here unless you want to sleep in the car like last time and get a terrible neck pain.'

'Fine!'

Mark handed her keys over to Mel and got out sighing in annoyance.

'Going back to the hospital?x

'Yep.'

'Anyway thanks, very unlikely of you but, thanks.'

'It's okay,I'm off then.'

'Let me get you a taxi.'
Mel suggested but as soon as she did Mark had gotten one.

'Mel! You're here!'
Came a voice and Mark literally jumped into the taxi and mumbled to the driver to step on it.

Even Mel was holding her breath.

Damn that was close.

'Hey El! Off to Uni?'

'Nope free today,who was that?'El enquired.

'Oh that was mudskipp-x

Mel was interrupted by El,

'What!? You meant he cold blooded gut who never lets you breath in peace for two minutes?'

'Yes,same one. Honey, don't raise your hopes up he's probably faking his niceness to get on my good side you know like keep your friends closer your enemies closer sort of thing.'

'God, why do you hate him so much? Actually though, he seemed familiar eve If I didn't really see his face.'

'Well, no chance you've seen him. Where are you off to?'

'Me?
I'm going to go get some milk and eggs
You dear zombie go get some sleep,I'll be right back.'

'Okay mum.' Mel replied with a smile and headed in.

Mel waited till for El to go before getting inside the house and
Doctor's coat and all jumped into bed.
