A/N - thank you so much fro your reviews, it keeps me motivated. This chapter isn't that long, but I've had loads of homework and I wanted to get something up for the end of today. So sorry if it's not that interesting, it was supposed to be joined on to the next chapter, oh well. Please Read and Review x x
"Brooke, do you want any lunch?" my dad called up the stairs. I groaned and sat up in bed, pushing my limp brown curls over my shoulder, and reluctantly opening my brown eyes.
"No!" I replied croakily. I wasn't hungry, hadn't been since I was released from hospital. My mum was in a critical condition, so I was staying with my dad. Deciding that I'd slept long enough, I turned on my lamp, pulled the net canopy round my bed so I could see the TV clearer, and then flicked it on.
I had barely got out of bed since being released from hospital two days before. School had been cancelled (obviously, since it had blown up) until a new venue could be found within the next month. My friends had been to visit me in hospital, but since I got back home they haven't called because not many of them have been to my dad's house before. So, I'm just stuck here until the doctors say I'm well enough to go outside, because apparently I could keel over and die of a coughing fit from the change in air if I don't have an inhaler or something on me.
But, I'm also annoyed at the fact that the two people who rescued me from the school haven't been to see me. I mean, they didn't even stick around until I came round in the hospital. The nurse said I was just left at the desk by a blonde girl who wanted to make sure I would be ok before leaving. Come on, I could have died and they didn't stay! I'm actually starting to think I thought the whole thing up, what other possible reason could they be?
I had just settled down to watch the lunchtime episode of 'Neighbours' (I know, my grandma watches it, too), when there was a knock on my bedroom door.
"Brooke?" my dad called through, "there's someone here to see you"
"let them in!" I sat up in bed and straightened my pink pyjamas. I looked towards the door, and a gasp escaped me. The two people who had rescued me were standing in my room.
"Um…hi" I said lamely.
"Hi" the blonde girl said, "How are you feeling?" her cockney accent sounded so different from mine, which was a cross between Geordie and Yorkshire.
"Better, thanks. Come in" I regained speech, and they sat down on the and of my bed. I turned the TV off.
"We're pleased you're okay" the man spoke for the first time.
"Well, thank you so much for saving me…" I tried to remember their names, but it was just a haze in my memory, "Sorry, I don't remember your names" I gave an apologetic smile.
"I'm the Doctor and this is Rose" he informed.
"Why didn't you stay, at the hospital?" I blurted out.
"I told you she'd ask that!" Rose scolded the Doctor, she turned to me, "He didn't think it was appropriate" she scoffed.
"You family was arriving, I didn't want awkward questions, about why we were in the school in the first place" he said sheepishly.
"Why were you in school?" I asked curiously.
"None of your concern!" he said brightly. I shrugged.
We talked for a bit more, until my dad came up and said I needed my rest (I had been sleeping for two days straight, as if I was tired), so they left.
"Don't be a stranger" my stepmum, Claire, called on the way out. She says that to everyone that visits, even the bin men.
I was a little bit happier now that I had seen the Doctor and Rose, so I got up dressed in some brown sweats and went downstairs and sat watching TV with Claire. I even ate a slice of toast even though I hardly ever eat toast and just live off porridge for breakfast usually. Then again, it's almost lunchtime. For some reason, I felt as though that wasn't the last I would be seeing of the Doctor and Rose.
A/N - well, that was that. Please read and review and hopefully the next chapter will be up as soon as possible x x
