My sleep wasn't very nice and every time I tried to change my position on the bed I was awaken from the pain.
It was 7 am so I quit trying to fall back asleep and started reading the story, It was entertaining. Later a nurse brought me breakfast and when she knew that my back was hurting me she obliged to get my back x-rayed. I was worried and wished to just get out of this place.
After being x-rayed, I was taken back to my room on the wheelchair. It's such an awful feeling to be disabled to do such a simple thing like walking.
When I was led back to my room, John was in there and he seemed shocked by the wheelchair so I smiled at him but his expression didn't change.
Then he stood up "Can I take her for a walk?" he asked the nurse and she nodded
"only for an hour and at the hospital's garden, sir." she informed him then he put his hands on the chair and started pushing me.
"soo why are you up so early?" I asked and he took a deep breath "I don't know" he answered and then we made it to the garden and it was empty since it's so early.
"Did you read Alice?" he asked
"Yes! it's amazing but I didn't finish it yet, only a couple of chapters left" I told him
"well you can read me the rest" I suggested and he raised an eyebrow and said
"No,I can't"
"You're so rude ! come on!" I told him and he laughed
"well miss polite, you didn't even say please" he said with a smirk and I blushed a little embarrassed then I spun around and hit his arm
"I forgot! now let's go back so you can read it for me" I said
"you still didn't say please" he said stopping in front of a wooden bench where he sat and made me face him
"finnee I'll read it by myself" I said and he laughed then changed the subject
"Did you watch the show last night? " "Only the last bit, sadly." I said and he seemed somewhat happy by my answer which made me confused and I gave him an inquiry look
"That's great" he said
"why? did you mess up at the beginning or something?" I asked and he laughed and brought his face closer to mines
"I never mess up" he whispered against my ear "I doubt" I said then he stared at me so I stared back.
we stayed like that for a while and I started to get uncomfortable and annoyed so I looked away and he laughed then stood up and stood in front of me so I looked at the other way
"you're so rude, and I'll make you pay for it" he said with an evilish laugh then started runing and pushing my wheelchair faster and faster which made me laugh so hard I couldn't even catch my breath
"Jooohn! stooop I'll fall!!" I cried , holding on tightly, in between the laughter but that only made him run faster "Jooohn!!" I cried "What?"
"Stoop!" I said
"Just stop?!!" he cried back and I was laughing so hard that my hands started to slip
"JOHNNY PLEASE STOP" I cried and finally he stopped "
That's a good girl" he said smirking then some angry looking nurse came towards us
"This screaming isn't appropriate here, You are disturbing the other patients." She said "Now if you two would go back to your room." she said looking around and John made some funny faces behind her, I tried to hold my laughter but I couldn't and she turned back to face me
"I'm warning you miss, one more problem and you'll have to leave this hospital" she said then left
"Believe me I'd love to leave this hospital !" I called back after her but she didn't hear me.
John pushed me back to my room then carried me slowly and placed me carefully on the bed but he didn't back away after he did so. his face was very close to mines, he was looking at my eyes but this look was different. This look made me melt.
He brought his lips closer to mine and planted a small kiss on it and when I kissed him back
"I like you very much ,Prudes" he whispered before kissing me again this time it was longer and more passionate but then again we had to pull away when the room's door opened for George, Paul and Richard to come in.
I could feel my cheeks getting hot but John acted totally normal
"Did you bring me breakfast?" he asked George who nodded
"but they didn't allow me to bring it here, you'll have to eat it at the cafeteria" he told him
"Oh! Let's go then, I'm starving" John said and was followed by George whom said "I'll comee back to check on youu Prudence!" before leaving which made me smile.
This keeps me with Paul and Richard. "how are you today Prudence? " Richard asked and I was surprised that Paul didn't
"I'm fine, I was x-rayed earlier but I don't know the examinations' results yet" I told him and he nodded "I hope you leave this place soon" he said with a smile and I smiled back at him and I was now worried by Paul's silence.
"Paul?" I spoke up "mhm?" was all that managed to escape his mouth
"what's wrong? " I asked and he bit on his thumbnail
"Nothing, I'm...just tired and hungry so I'll go join John and George" he said and I knew that he was upset about something but before I could say anything else he had already left.
"Tell me what's wrong Rich, I know there's something going on" I asked and he looked around while playing with one ring on his hand
"It's just that..." he started to say "Just stay away from John and don't get involved with him" he said and I was shocked
"What do you mean? and why should I? John is nice and you're supposed to be his friend, how could you say such a thing?" I asked and his blue eyes widened
"ah, It'd have been so much easier if you had watched the show last night. Prudence" Rich was explaining "John is-" but the room's door opened again and they all came back in
"I am what? amazing? why, thank you !!" John asked and answered jokingly and I was the only one that laughed while
Richard and Paul seemed to be having a heart attack and George was changing the tv's channel and not paying attention for us.
At this moment there was a knock on the door then Dr.Robert came in "Hello, how are you feeling today Miss Bradford?" he asked and I told him about the ache I had that prevented me from sleeping which made some worrying signs appear on Paul's face
"Oh yes, the nurse had told me but don't worry the x-rays shows no broken bones some are only injured and they'll be fine with the help of rest, creams and rubbing or massaging. It's just an ache from falling hard " he told me
"so she can leave this place then?" John asked him
"Yes she can leave in 2 days but she can't do any physical activity so she'd have to use a wheelchair for only a week" he answered and I was more than happy that I can get out of this boring place even if it's after 2 days.
