Matt, Daisy, Chloe and I sat in the hospital waiting room. The Doctor had told us that Jeff was going to be Ok, but he needed stitches and a check for a concussion. After he'd had them we were allowed to go and see him.
Matt kept getting up, walking around in circles and then sitting down again. He kept looking towards the door as if he was thinking of running away.
"Matt?" I asked. "Are you OK?"
"I hate hospitals." He replied.
"Why? Did something happen?"
"My Mom died in a hospital. Brain Tumour" he said sadly. I gasped.
"Oh Matt I'm Sorry! I had no idea!" I cried. He looked at me.
"Don't worry about it."
An uncomfortable silence fell, broken only by a Doctor approaching us and telling us that we could see Jeff now. We walked over to his room in total silence.
Matt spoke first. "Hey Jeffo how ya feelin'?"
"I've been better." Jeff replied with a smile. Then he winked at us "They gave me Morphine!"
"Oh No!" Groaned Matt. Jeff started Laughing hysterically.
"Yeppers, so I'm feeling happy!"
We all laughed and Joked until a nurse came in to shoo us all out, Jeff had to stay overnight 'for observations'.
Outside, Matt turned to me and said,
"Amy, I know you probably want to get home but do you have a few minutes?"
"I was supposed to be sleeping over at Daisy's," I said. "So I've got all night."
"I think there's a Starbucks near here, you want a coffee?"
"Ok!"
*************
Matt and I sat In Starbucks, drinking coffee and talking. We talked about School, friends, Trish and the play. We skated around the whole subject of what had happened earlier, it was clear that neither of us wanted to talk about it. We paid for our coffees and headed for the door. It was then that Matt turned to me and said,
"Amy-do-you-want-to-go-to-the-cinema-with-me?" He said it so fast It took me a minute to realise what he'd said. He must have been unnerved by my hesitation because he started gabbling, "Of-course-its-no-pressure-you- don't-have-"
"Yes" I interrupted
"What?"
"Yes, I'd love to!" Matt grinned.
"That's great! I'll see you tomorrow!"
Then he gave me a shy kiss on the cheek and left, I headed back to my house, repressing my strong urge to do cartwheels.
Author's note: Kind of short but two important plot events take place. Hope you enjoyed it.
