Angels calling

part 10

Everyone is happy to see Elena again and she gets hugs from everyone. Tommy even picks her up and spins her around in the air. When Maarten has also been introduced to everyone and he has picked his lower jaw from the ground, Elena goes looking for her patient. "Jocke where are you hiding" she shouts through the bus. Somewhere near the front seats an answer comes back so Elena walks over there. "What have you done now Jocke" laughs Elena. "We were playing around and I grabbed something and that cut my hand, look" Joakim takes the bandage off his hand and shows the wound. Elena sits opposite him and turns the light a bit brighter. "That doesn't look neat, you have a chance that this has to be stitched, Jocke" says Elena worried. She takes the first-aid kit and begins cleaning and examining the wound. She sees that it hurts a lot and it keeps bleeding. She puts a new emergency dressing around it to give pressure. "This has to be stitched, it is too deep to glue or to heal like that".

With some resistance, Joakim finally comes along to the emergency tent and Elena explains what is going on. "Sorry madam it will have to wait a while, we don't have a doctor available at the moment." Says the lady behind the counter. Elena turns to Joakim and translates the conversation, he is almost happy to walk away again, but Elena grabs him by the arm. "Do you have a free space and the right things to stitch?" Elena asks the lady behind the desk. "I am a doctor myself, I will help the gentleman here myself", Elena answers firmly. She does not want Jocke to have to wait here for hours for a doctor and that the skin can no longer grow together properly. After the lady behind the desk has asked some more questions, she takes Elena and Joakim to a room and a sister brings anesthesia and suture equipment. After having put the anesthetics, she examines the wound again and comes to the conclusion that no muscles or anything are damaged. She starts stitching and not much later Joakim's hand is neatly in the bandage with 6 stitches underneath. "That's how it is done, now you just can't hit your knee with your hand tomorrow because then you have a chance that it will open up. While Elena cleans up and takes off her gloves, Joakim examines the bandage. "You did that nicely Elena" he complimented her. "well hello, it is not for nothing that I went to school for so many years!" Elena smiles back. When everything is cleaned up, they walk past the counter and then return to the bus. "I think it's really cool what you did with your hair! That blue and purple suits you well! " Joakim says to Elena. "Thank you, I am also very happy with it" she says and happily runs her hands through her hair. There are different colors of blue and purple mixed in strands, which gives a nice playful effect. 

Back at the bus it is now time for lunch, outside there are tables with all kinds of tasty things and everyone can grab what they want. Elena also picks up a plate and serves up all kinds of delicious things. Then she sits down with the boys together with Maarten. Hannes immediately pulls her onto his lap and hugs her tightly. "I missed you sis" and runs his hands through her hair. Elena gives him a kiss on the cheek "I missed you too and I am glad we see each other again in person instead of on a screen" says Elena after which she starts to eat.

In the meantime, the band members talk to Elena about everything that happened and all the funny stories, meanwhile the conversation moves from the bus to the festival site. The boys all wear casual clothes and fit in between the festival goers, so few people recognize them. It is an afternoon full of fun, music and beer and everyone is having a party. For dinner, they pick up a pizza from one of the stalls and eat it at one of the tables. Meanwhile, Elena goes looking for a toilet. Chris walks with her. At one point Elena stumbles over a bottle in the grass and Chris can just catch her. They both laugh about it and Chris keeps his arm around Elena when they walk away. On the way back Chris takes Elena her hand and so they walk back to the rest of the group. Maarten sees them coming and sees Chris looking at Elena. He notices that there is a kind of tension around those 2 for the rest of the evening and he decides to keep an eye on them. The last thing he wants is for Elena to get into trouble with Tim back at home.

As the evening progresses and Black Sabbath starts its show, Elena is well tipsy and happily dancing to the music. The boys cheerfully watch how she is enjoying everything and in the meantime also participate in the crazy dance. When someone walks by and bumps into Elena, she falls into Chris, who puts his arms around her to prevent her from falling down. Elena turns in his arms to thank him but when she looks into his eyes she can't say anything anymore, she is lost in his brown eyes and time seems to stand still. Chris can only think of one thing now standing like this with Elena, and slowly he approaches with his face to hers, he looks at her lips and then her eyes again, and then he closes the gab and kisses Elena.

Elena feels all kinds of emotions going through her body, but above all she feels how soft Chris's lips are and how nice this feels. She puts her hand on Chris's neck and deepens the kiss. Chris has his hands on her hips and is pulling her tightly against him. They are both absorbed in the moment. When Maarten looks back at Elena he sees what is happening, and as much as he likes her to be happy, he has to intervene to prevent worse. He walks over to Chris and Elena and pulls Elena away from him. Elena immediately realizes what she has done and walks away from the group. Chris wants to go after her but is stopped by Maarten who puts a hand on his chest. "As much as I hate Tim, he is still her boyfriend, and I don't want her to have problems at home," Maarten tells Chris who just nods, knowing he made a mistake but wishing it would have been accepted. Chris walks back to the group and decides to go back to the bus not much later.

In the meantime, Elena is also on her way back to the tent, tears quietly running down her cheeks. She does not manage to fall asleep that night. When Maarten is there, he crawls close to her and comforts her.
