"I'll find mickie, ok, I'll find her" John's mother said to her son as he was wheeled away for his scan, she sighed and turned to her husband as John's bosses and friends watched on. "He looked so scared"

"It'll be ok" The man pulled his wife in for a hug "He'll be ok" he kissed her head

John was slowly being entered into the big white tube for his MRI scan, he was told to keep still, which was hard he found himself shaking slightly, he hated confined spaces.

He closed his eyes and tried to go to his happy place.

Mickie slowly walked back towards John's ward, she needed to pull herself together, it wasn't her that was maybe paralysed for life "He was asking for you" John's mother spoke softly

She looked up seeing John's parents and the people she had bumped into about an hour previous waiting out in the hall way, they weren't even on the ward "Where is he?" she asked softly

"He's gone for his scan" John's father said softly "Did he talk to you last night? He won't talk to any of us"

Mickie nodded "Yeah, not for long though, I think the medicine kicked in because he went to sleep" The mother nodded once again "What's wrong?"

"He came back from his scan awhile ago, he won't let anyone of us in"

Mickie shrugged "He asked me to leave a lot, I just didn't leave"

John looked as his parent's and colleagues walked in, his eyes stayed on mickie as she closed the door, she looked at everyone all looking so glum and awkward.

"So um, How come they've got you laying like that?" Mickie asked, John was laying flat on his back again

"It's just a precaution until they get the results back" John spoke softly

"When will that be?" His father asked

"They didn't give an exact time" He spoke with an attitude

"They must of said something" His mother spoke again

Mickie watched John he seemed annoyed by them even just being here "Just that I wasn't to move"

"Are you comfy, Can I get you anything?"

"Will you stop fussing" John snapped at his mother "I'm not a complete vegetable" Then there was an awkward silence and one by one mickie watched as they made an excuse to be out of the room, she sore they didn't go far.

Mickie sat down on the chair she had slept in the night before "It's not there fault John"

"I'm a grown man! I'm sick of them treating me like a child!"

"You could be more polite when not wanting her help though, she's scared to john"

"I understand that, but they've changed how they are with me, I've not changed so why are they treating me differently"

"I don't know" mickie spoke softly "When is the doctor coming?"

"An hour"

"And you couldn't tell them that why?"

"Because I don't want them here for the results, I want to hear first"

"That's all you had to say to them, they'll understand more than you think they will" Mickie stood up looking down at the man putting her hand on his again "Just be civil to them"
