The Next Day
A blue jeep parks in the car park, ready for its passenger to start a fresh full day at school, she thinks..
As Jen collects all of the stuff for her class to do, the bell rings.
The class file in pretty quickly for an exam. Maddie strolls in with Ruby and Sinead with Jono linked behind, looking like they've lost someone so dear to them.
'C'mon guys, cheer up, might never happen' Jen starts to laugh thinking its nothing, but then is stopped by the lack of laughs back, showing it could be quite serious.
Hmm, might be something bad, cant be that bad can it surely? she thinks to herself.
As she passes the exams papers around she asks all of the students to get their equipment out, but they do it without any enthusiasm.
Hm, ok ill speak to them after class then, she thinks.
As she passes Maddie, she cant help but notice that she doesnt normally look like that, shes normally causing mayhem.
Maddie quickly throws her hand over her mouth and scarpers out of the classroom ready to be sick.
As her thoughts come back to her
the scene of the crash: She looks at Tilly and cant believe in what she is seeing. Tilly has a broken leg and she looks terrible.
She doesnt know for sure if shes hilusinating or anything but shes seeing a bone, and blood gushing out.
'Maddie?! Jen shouts but does not recieve an answer. She asks Bart to give out the exam papers, trusting him not to look at the answers, but this is the least of whats on her mind, she needs to know whats wrong with Maddie.
As Jen reaches the toilets, she is deep in conversation, she feels, with Maddie.
'Maddie, what's wrong?' Jen asks, concerned for the girl.
'It- it's Tilly!' she eventually comes out with in between throw ups.
'Tilly, oh my god, what could possibly be wrong with her?' her mind is going crazy at this point in time.
'Maddie, whats Tilly done?'
'Miss, she hasnt done anything' as she finally manages to open the toilet door to show atleast SOME sign of respect to the teacher.
'Whats up with her then?
'The crash...' As Maddie says in between her sobs.
'Maddie, tell me where Tilly is, is she ok, in hospital maybe? Mr Keeler needs to know, so do i'
'my god! she cant be... surely?' as jen feels tears prickle behind her beautiful hazel eyes.
'Shes in hospital.. The Paramedics... Unconscious..' Maddie splurts out, not handling so well for the words to come out yet as a sentance..
'Ok, right, well go back to class and ill get this sorted' 'just dont worry im sure shes going to be fine!' 'Thanks Miss. Really' As Maddie smiles and heads off back to class.
Jen is stunned by what Maddie had just told her.
'I need to see her, if she's ok, hmm, what am i going to do?'
