FOREWORD: Sorry it has taken so long to write this one, but I hope you'll enjoy it! Xxxx
Chapter 10:
Crossing the road opposite the hospital was dangerous today, because the road was clear so Nora pushed me out to the first lane and 2 cars swerved in front of us, out of nowhere! We just stopped in the middle of the road, dumbstruck till a car honked, who was letting us cross. I might write to the council about wheelchair lanes, or crossings. It would give me something better to do than read constant articles about Cheryl Cole and Trè... We passed reception after receiving a notice saying that there was 15 minutes till the stitches check up. I was helped onto my bed by Nora and another nurse, and went through all my presents for the second time. I looked up, after hearing a sigh, and was surprised to find a young boy opposite my bed, watching BBC news. I was supposed to have my own ward, I exclaimed to Nora, who sighed and said it was a public ward, for my privacy up to 2 weeks. This must be my last week here then! Then I felt sad, I would miss Nora and Dr Dayton, and I might not get the chance to know the sighing boy opposite me. I'll make an effort for the last four days, to get to know him, especially if he is sharing a ward with me. He looks 18, near Niall's age, an has brown ruffled hair, as if he had tossed and turned in bed, and had just woken up. A smile lit on his face as a tall, leggy girl with short black hair walked into the room. I immediately felt a spark of jealousy and desire for why she had, and I didn't. The boy had a bandage on his left arm, hand to elbow-shoulder, which only had one signature, now that girl had just written on it. I wonder why his name is, I thought, in the midst of everything around me, I never noticed the girl came over to me, and was perched on the side of my bed.
