Take My Hand

Chapter 7

'Charity'

My head was pounding it felt like I was run over by a two ton lorry.  I gently rubbed my head hoping to ease the ache. Suddenly my stomach turned. Oh no this is not good

"Hello is anyone there? " I called out desperately, I seriously needed a plastic bag or a bucket quickly.

I heard footsteps but didn't know who was there or where I was, I guessed hospital because it smelled horindous here. I hate the smell of hospitals.

"Doctor! She's awake!" I heard a lady say.

"Hello? Whoever is there I seriously need a plastic bag!" I cried out, feeling my breakfast coming back up.

Why did I have that Tuna sandwich this morning. I heard shuffling and I could sense someone walking towards me. And whoever it was took my hands and put them around a metal bin. Needless to say I hurled up said tuna sandwich.

"I'm nurse Shannon your in the hospital due to a concussion." The nurse explained once I finished getting rid of my breakfast.

"What happened?" I coughed out, as she wiped my mouth. I felt very helpless at the moment.

"I'm not sure exactly what happened but you fell and hit your head pretty hard. The doctor will be here soon to check your vitals." The nurse said.

So that's why my head is killing me.
The doctor came a few minutes later and ran some test I suppose. I appreciated the fact that he talked me through what he was doing.

"Okay everything seems to be alright it's just a minor concussion. Fortunately you didn't damage anything vital. Just take it easy and rest for a few days." The doctor ordered.

"Okay I will. Thanks" I mumbled, felling very tired.

"Good, now I'm sure there's alot of people outside anxious to see you." After the Doctor said that, I could hear the door burst open and a bunch of footsteps.

I flinched at the sudden noise and spike of pain that was sent up to my head.

"Charity are you okay? " I heard my mom say panicked. I felt her gently hold my hand.

"I'm okay mom don't worry." I said reassuringly.

I have fallen many times sense I found out I was going blind. But none have given me this bad of a concussion before. I must have really fallen hard.

"Thank goodness! I was so worried about you! " My mom squeezed my hand.

I wrapped my fingers around her hand and stroked her hand to calm her down.

"Okay although I would like to know what happened?" I asked curious as to how I fell to my doom.

"The stupid dog tackled you to ground." I heard Jeston say faintly.

"Jeston? ..Who else is here?" I asked wanting to know who was in the room.

"You father wanted to be here but there was a emergency at work. So it's just me Jeston and his mother and Daniella....and Ricky." My mother said softly.

I tensed when I heard his name. What is Ricky doing here? Suddenly I felt nauseous all over again. Only this time is wasn't because of the concussion. It was because of Ricky.

"Charity it's Daniella." I heard my best friend say next to me taking my other hand in hers.

"Sorry Charity he followed me here, once he heard where I was going. If you want me to chase out said person I would gladly do so. I don't even know why that dodo head is even here." Daniella whispered in my ear.
