Fizzled out

Chapter 12

Chapter twelve

One week in to my fabulous time on bed rest and I was sick of this house. There were only so many times you could watch endless reruns of friends episodes and I couldn't read a book for the life of me so I ended up sleeping most of my days away. I called Daniel every other night and we would chat about everything and anything. I'd also been doing a lot of thinking about him how he's my only real friend here. He's really amazing and all but I really wouldn't mind having a girl as a friend. Someone who I can talk about guys and life with someone who really gets me. I guess I just feel like Daniel's not enough. He's great but I really do need more then one friend here in London. Especially since none of my "friends" from home have even tried to contact me. Just shows what great friends they actually are.

Another thing that's come out of all this staying at home is I've found myself getting into a lot more fights with my dad mainly about tiny things but last night there was a very heated discussion about mom and how she wants to fly me over to see her. I plainly disagreed and walked out leading dad to get angry exclaiming that she is my mother and that I can't just keep avoiding her like she's some lost puppy. I know I shouldn't be dissing my own mother like this but ever since we moved I haven't had a care about her. She's tried ringing a couple times but I've always been out. I guess it just really hurt when she didn't even ring after my coma. Is it just me or is that not a big deal? Cause if my own daughter was in a coma I'd want to know about it. I'm not trying punish her for this or anything I just don't really think I could face her right now after everything that has happened between us.

The big facebook debarcle seems to have gone away and someone reported the post so it's not online anymore. Most likely Daniel. I don't care who did it I'm just glad it's gone. However I'm not looking forward to the day I have to go back to school and face Ashleigh. Maybe I can just avoid her forever. Hmm that's probably pretty much impossible.

It's now 9:00 on a Monday night and I still have 7 whole days until I am allowed back to school. Ugh, I don't know how I'm gonna do it.

Teachers at school at offered to give me school work to do at home but my doctor said he didn't wanna put to much stress on my brain so thanks to him for that small victory. Even though I had called Daniel a lot in the past week I hadn't seen him since last monday. He had a family friends wedding in the weekend so was out of town so I was officially lonered for that period of time. I know it was late but I put his number into my phone and waited for him to pick up.

"hey," I said grinning once he answered his cell.

"Um sorry I think you've got the wrong number..." he replied jokingly.

"Oh shut up you, I'm dying of boredom here, wanna come over?' I asked hope filling my chest.

"How about you come here this time?" Daniel questioned.

"You know I can't I'm on bed rest, it's practically torture!" I replied

"But what if you just come here and lie down? It doesn't matter where you are does it? Or are you just a little goody good Sydney aye? Live a little bit, break the ruuuulesss," Daniel chuffed stretching out his last words.

"Hmm, I'll have to ask dad, two secs," I left the phone in my room and hopped down the stairs before having to lean against the railing to catch my balance for a second as my vision blurred. 

I found dad in the kitchen making a cup of tea. I played through what I was gonna say in my head before saying it.

"Hey dad you know how I have that bed rest thing?" I asked even though he obviously knew it.

"Hmm dunno Syd, do I?" he played jokingly. "Of course I do bud,"

"Well I was thinking it doesn't really matter where I am right like as long as I'm lying down or whatever right?" I stated.
