It's an easy Saturday morning, the sun is out and there's a small breeze to balance the weather.
I get out of bed and open my windows then watch the sun as it radiates my entire room and the little rails reflecting everywhere.
I carefully tuck in the bed sheet on the corners of the headboard then head straight to the shower.
I sigh as the hot water splashes to my body and immediately calms my nerves.
After a few minutes I begin to sing and dance while showering.
"🎶I don't know if you could take it,
Know you wanna see me nakey, nakey, naked
I wanna be your baby, baby, baby
na na naa hhm aah aah
wild wild wild, wild wild wild thoughts🎶"
I move and accidentally trip on soap that fell on the floor that I was too busy singing and dancing to notice.
"Ouch!!" I groan.
Well that hurt.
What happened to be a calm morning has turned to be a painful one.
I carefully stand up and take a towel then cover my-self as I limp out of the shower.
I leave the bathroom then limp downstairs to take an Ice-bag so I can rub it against my foot.
My mum is in the kitchen preparing breakfast and her face consumes with worry when she sees me.
She quickly helps me to take a seat.
"ooh honey what happened?" she asks out of worry.
I groan "I tripped".
"let me see" she lifts up my leg then a swollen wound appears "this looks bad, we need to take you to the doctor".
"it's really not that bad" I reply.
"you need to get this checked Cathy" she says while covering my wound with a bandage.
She takes the car keys from the counter then helps me walk to the car.
She opens the passenger door, I slide in and we drive to Massachusetts General Hospital.
I enter the doctor's ward and a blonde haired woman greets me "Hi I'm Dr.Curry, let me check that wound of yours" she says.
I uncover my wound and she treats it as I tell her what happened.
"you kind of remind me of my son, he used to get such wounds all the time when he was young" she casts me a smile.
"well how old is he now?" I ask.
"he's 17, he's a grown boy now" she answers.
"oh great, I'm 17 too, and it's embarrassing that I'm here cause I fell off the shower"
"things happen" then she laughs.
30 minutes later I leave the ward then walk to the vending machine to get some chocolate bar.
A familiar voice speaks at the back of my ear.
"Cathy?"
I turn and find Chris looking at me.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" I ask
"my mum works here, she's a doctor. What are you doing here?"
