I am not nervous!!!!

Nicole's POV

A week has past from my little accident with my arm. Everyday my arm hurts more and more, looking worse and worse.

Mark has laid back in physically hurting be but he still calls me names and picks on me everyday.

Today is the day though, I have decided that I am going to see a doctor, but I'm going to ask Mia and George to take me.

So here I am getting ready to go to the doctor. I stay in my room to make sure that all the boys get to school before I call Mia and George to take me to the doctor.

It's past nine. I open my door just a crack and look out and listen. Nothing. There's no noise. I sigh in relief. I head down stairs and I dial Mia's number.

After two rings she picks up. "Hello?" she asked from the other line. "Hi, Mia. It's me Nicole. I was wondering if you and George can take me somewhere." I started. I waited for Mia to answer me. "Where do you need to go?" she asked finally after some silence. "Could you take me to the clinic?" I ask. "Sure, what happened?" she asked sounding worried. "I will tell you when you pick me up." I tell her. "Ok, what time do you want me to pick you up?" she asked. "Can you get here in fifteen minutes?" I ask. "Sure, see you soon." And she hangs up. Now I have to make my other call.

I dial the number and on three rings they picked it up. "Eastside High School, this is Secretary Khloe speaking, state your name and business." I clear my throat before speaking. "This is Nicole Forest, and I need to talk to Principal Anderson, please."
"Ok, hold on one second." I wait a couple seconds trying to be patient. I look around the house. The phone was hooked to the wall right in the kitchen. I wonder how we still have electricity. I shrug. Who knows.

"This is Principal Anderson speaking." I jump. "Hi, Principal Anderson, I won't be able to come to school today, I am sick. Oh and this is Nicole." I say quickly. Then I hear a car horn honk. It's been fifteen minutes already? Wow. "Oh ok, well, get well soon." she says. "Bye." And I hang up.

I run up stairs, well I try to run upstairs, it was more of a fast walk, and I go to my room and put on my boots and grab my backpack. I beeline it down the stairs and open the door.

There in the driveway stood a very familiar silver Honda. I walk down the steps and walk over to the car.

I hop into the front seat and buckle. I turn to look at Mia and see that she is looking at me, well mostly my hair. "Spill." she commands. So I tell her.

•••

"So let me get this straight, your bully Mark pushed you to the ground and you fell on your arm wrong, correct?" We were in the parking lot for the clinic, I am supposed to go in there in five minutes. "Correct." Mia sighed. "And you didn't tell your brothers, because?" I turned and faced the window.

I wanted to say, 'They didn't need to know. They don't give a dam about me, so why would I tell them that I am hurt? They watched me get hurt!' But instead I said, "I never thought of it. We should head in." I say and I unbuckle, open the door and head towards the entrance to the clinic. Soon Mia followed after she got her purse.

The building looked like a regular doctor's office. There was ten seats on one side and another ten on the opposite side of the room. And the check in was in the middle.

I walk up to the check in. "Hi, I would like to see Dr. Marla for an arm injury." I tell the person. She looks up from her computer and eyes me suspiciously. "I am with the lady over there." I say turning around and pointing at Mia who is sitting in a chair reading a book.

I look at the name plate that is sitting on the counter. Lilly. "What's your name?" she asks not looking up from her computer. "Nicole Nicholas Forest." I say. Yes, I am the lucky one with my fathers name as my middle name. All the boys have moms name as there middle name. Just imagine, Nicole Lila Forest. Shudder.

"Alright, Dr. Marla will see you in five minutes." I walk over to Mia and sit down. I stare at the wall in front of me, I thought for ten seconds, but I guess it was five minutes.

"Nicole Forest." called a person by a door, I stand up immediately with Mia. I walk over and the girl opens a door with a smile. "Alright, I am Nurse Kate. Can you please stand behind the door for I can measure you?" I nod and stand straight and she measures me. "Your 5'4." And she rights something on her paper. "Alright now let's weigh you." she says motioning for me to step on the scale. I gulp. I didn't think about this when I decided to go to the clinic!

I cautiously step on the scale. When Nurse Kate looks at the numbers she frowns and rights something down on her paper. I don't dare to look at my weight, I already know that it isn't healthy.

I step off of the scale and wait patiently for her. "Alright, follow me." she says and Mia and I follow her.

We walk to a room and it looks like a regular doctors room. We sit in the two chairs by the wall. "Alright Dr. Marla will be with you in a bit." Nurse Kate says and walks out of the room. I sigh. I look down at my boots. They look really dirty. When I get home I am going I will have to clean them.

When I hear the door open I look up. A girl walks in, in a doctors coat. This must be Dr. Marla. "Hi, Nicole." she says and takes a seat in her seat. "Hi." I say back. "So, hows your arm?" she asks. "Whenever I move it, it feels like I am ripping something." I say. I'm surprised I haven't cried out in pain yet.

Dr. Marla stands up and walks over to me. "May I?" she asks pointing at my arm. I nod and bit my lip just in case I scream. She takes my arm. "Where does it hurt the most?" she asks. "My shoulder blade, entering my back." I say. She puts her arm on my shoulder blade and I bit back a scream in pain. The pain shoots up my back and I fight back tears. "Does that hurt?" she asks. I nod my head and a tear falls from my eye. "Alright, so we are going to do a scan on your arm to see what's going on ok?" I nod again. "Alright so you are going to do the scan at the hospital, and when they get the results, which only takes about five minutes. They will tell you what's going on ok?" I nod again and I stand up. "Also, I want you to take some pain meds to lessen the pain." I nod again. Why haven't I spoken yet? I don't know. I am not nervous!
