Teach Me Something New

Chapter 10

This week went by quick, I stayed at home, mainly on the couch or my armchair doing school work, or just chilling, talking with Joe. The day of the doctors' appointment couldn't come any quicker.

This break from school was what I needed, no Natasha, no gossip or rumours, and no bullshit. But I do miss Drew White, though we did keep in touch through texts.

Joy tends to keep me updated on everything school related, I ignore some of it because I'm not interested but I still listen to her out of respect and I knew what she felt when she did so.

Honestly being home for this week has been pretty boring, a good break, but boring.

Today is the day of my doctors' appointment, I wouldn't be happier for this day to come, ready to get this over and done with.

I woke up to Joe shaking me, "come on Shadow, time to start getting ready," he said as I opened my eyes.

"What's the time? Wheres Joy?" I asked, mumbling as I moved to sit up as Joe took a step back, giving me space to do so.

"Its ten in the morning, your appointment is in a few hours, and Joy is at school, I couldn't let her have the day off too," he answered and explained, I nodded in understanding before yawning, stretching before I grabbed my crutches and grabbed the pile of my clothes that Joy or Joe must've left there before me, then I made my way to the downstairs bathroom to get changed.

Whilst in the bathroom, I unwrapped my bandages to see how the wounds were going, some were already scaring, but there was no more fresh blood. I pulled out some alcohol wipes and cleaned up the wounds just a little bit more, removing the dried blood and to make sure there were no infections.

Happy with how the wounds were healing, I didn't bother with a bandage, they needed some air. So I quickly got dressed into a hoodie two sizes too big and a size too big of track pants so when the doctor needed to look at the cast, or needed to take an x-ray I just needed to roll up the leg of the trousers so it was easier.

As I slipped on one of my black uggs taking the other one just in a sense of security before grabbing my black messenger back that was covered in various band badges and sewn on patches. Checking to make sure my wallet, keys and anything else I needed was in it, before grabbing my phone off charge and moving to the lounge room with the crutches. Waiting for Joe to come downstairs from getting ready himself.

I was sitting on the couch for around an hour, reading a fanfiction on Wattpad on my phone until Joe joined me downstairs, his hair half dry from the shower he must've had before changing into a pair of jeans and a blue button up shirt and putting his black and green sneakers on, before grabbing his car keys and opening the front door before nodding towards the door, indicating its time to go.

I stood up, leaning on my crutches before handing my bag to Joe as he locks up behind us before we walked to his car. After he unlocked it we climbed in, putting my bag and crutches in the bag so I had leg room before Joe started the car and began driving towards the doctors' clinic.

As Joe pulled into a car park at the clinic, I reached into the back seat, pulling out both crutches, before opening the door and stood, becoming stable before I closed the car door, allowing Joe to lock up the car after grabbing my bag out from the back seat before slinging it onto his shoulder.

Joe lead the way into the clinic, holding the door open for me before we walked to the front desk to sign in and let them know we are here.

While waiting in the waiting room, a mother and her son came into the clinic with the kid trying to escape his mothers grasp on his hand to stop him from running off.
