Yuree
I turned slowly on my bed and sighed with boredom .
Hospitals were so dull , there was nothing to do here .
Doctor Fishyton had come by earlier and gave me some painkillers , which he put inside the horrible thing called hospital food .
I had swallowed each bite like a man eating dry and dirty tree roots in the jungle .
An act of survival but it still tasted gross .
I looked at the clock on the wall ,
it said 7 : 50 am . If I knew my mom , then she would be here in a couple of minutes .
I hoped she would bring me some thing to entertain me , maybe my phone or something .
Just anything to distract myself for the rest of the day .
I wondered if Bee would come too .
Was he back at the alley ? Or was outside waiting to go in ? I smiled at the thought of him waiting so long just to see me .
Then I sighed , I should stop thinking about him in that way , I told myself .
It's wrong just to fall for any guy ... even if he saved me .
I didn't want to be one of those damsels in distress who just falls for the guy who saves them .
I hated such stories when I was growing up . It always made me wonder , if the princesses were saved by demons , monsters or warlocks ... would they fall in love with them too ? They probably would , I had thought .
But that was not the kind of love i wanted , I wanted a connection . I wanted to feel something deep with my future husband .
Whoever he was , I sighed again .
No time to think about that , I thought looking at my bandaged arm .
Today I was supposed to get a cast and crutches . Later I would have to learn how to use them .
It was not something I was looking forward too and then there was the sling for my arm aswell . At the end of the day , I was going to look like I had got hit by a car and crashed into a building .
Oh , boy I thought , I hoped Terry would never hear of this and if he did ... I would have to come up with a very good explanation .
Terry had a very bad temper ... if he found out who did this to me ... I shuddered at what he would do to them ... it was a scary thought .
" Yuree ? " a voice said and I looked up at it's familiarity .
Doctor Fishyton walked into the room and I smiled getting up slowly .
" Hi , doctor Fishyton . " I said and he smiled before taking a seat .
" I wanted to talk to you about something , " he said in a solemn way and I knew he was being serious .
" Yes , is it something bad ? " I asked worriedly and he shook his head .
" No , I just wanted to ask you your preference . " he said and my eyes widened in shock .
" My ... preference ? " I asked him and he nodded his head .
" Well ... I - l like ... umm ... boys in general . " I said awkwardly , this was weird ! What type of doctor asks about a person's sexual preference ?
" Wait what ? No , not that . I guessed that . " he said with a chuckle .
Well I guess not this doctor , I thought .
" I meant how you wish to move about ." he continued" You are getting a cast today on you left leg and a sling aswell . So you have the choice of using crutches or a wheel chair . "
" oh , well ... " I blushed at my own ridiculous train of thought , dumby I thought to myself.
" It's just a choice I'm giving you here . You can talk about it later with your mother . " He explained ," It's just that with crutches , you'll need someone close by for support until you get the hang of things . With a wheelchair it's different , more dependency but less staggering on your part . You'll be less likely to injure yourself on the chair than with crutches . "
" Well ... I'm not sure . " I said thoughtfully , " I don't think our house is suited for a wheelchair ... but as for the crutches ... mom and Gus get alittle bit tipsy when they drink too much . I'm not sure they would be much help as I'm using my crutches . "
" Yes , exactly . " Dr Fishyton said with a wry smile ," Well , they'll be here soon if I know Amanda . We can talk it up with her when she gets here . Alright ? "
I nodded my head ," Yes doctor Fishyton . "
He smiled and got up to leave but before he could I called him back .
" Yes ? " he asked
" Is there any games or something to keep me occupied for the rest of the day ? "
" Well , there are Sudoku puzzles and I think some crosswords I could bring . " he offered and I sighed .
I had been thinking of VIDEO- games but I guess this was better than nothing .
" I'll take the crosswords , please ." I replied and he gave me a small nod before leaving .
I lay back down on the bed and closed my eyes . Soon my family would be here .
But when would Bee come ? I thought .
