The Call and Surgery
I don't own nuthin'
I have poll on what I should write for a story completely separate from this so if you cold please vote on it, it's House of Anubis and Percy Jackson.
So I'm going to do a sequel so I can have some fun in the beginning. Ill post what it's about next chapter.
Nina's POV
I was finally back to my regular self so I was happy. I grabbed my phone and called Brian's cell. "Hey Brian." "Hey Nicole, where were you earlier?" "I had to go. Look I have to go back to America. My dad's really sick and might not live so I'm going back to live at home." "I'm coming over." I heard the dial tone and hung up. I heard the door bell ring 5 minutes later and ran to the door. "Hello?" I asked. "Hi is Nicole here?" "Sorry but you just missed her. She left for the plane 2 hours ago." "Ohh. Will you tell her that I need to talk to her when she calls or something?" "Sure, by the way I'm her cousin Nina." He walked off and I closed the door. 'That was close.' I thought to myself. I walked upstairs and started packing for the week I would be gone. When I got upstairs and was in the middle of packing my outfits. (It's a Saturday and they leave in Sunday so it's a to Sunday through Sunday deal. Outfits on my profile.) I felt a pair of arms grab me from around my waste and spin me around. "Let me down." I heard laughing come from behind me then Fabian said, "What's the password?" "I have pepper spray in my pocket." I didn't but that got him to put me down. I smiled at him and kissed him on the cheek. "I really need to finish packing Fabes." He nodded and sat on Amber's bed. I laughed at the look of him in all the pink that Ambers half of the room consisted of. "What?" "All that pink just makes you funny looking." He smiled and laughed. I finished packing, packing my black dress and shoes lastly. Hundreds of things were going in my mind, funeral on Thursday the 19th of December, funeral in Newport, Minnesota at 1:30 PM. I had to pack warm clothes for the frigid winter that's going on in Minnesota, (I live in MN but I put down I different town and it does get pretty cold, last year we had -25 degree temps) I had to make sure Amber had enough clothes, but not too much. (Pretend its winter.) My little brother will be there, he's 13 and named Jackson and he lived with my Gran but now will be coming here. "Nina, you okay?" asked Fabian. I shivered at the sound of his voice because I was lost in my thoughts, "Yeah, just got a lot to think about." I was also thinking about what would happen to my horse, Lydia, when I have to return to England. Maybe Uncle Richard and Aunt Darcy and my 4 cousins could keep him on their farm in Hugo. (All these towns are real.) My phone then went off and I looked at the caller ID it was Jackson. "Hey Jack. What's up?" "Her Ni-Ni I need to ask you about something." "What?" "Can I bring Kimberly to the funeral?" "Yeah, sure. I'm glad you guys are still together after you dated Amanda, Brooke, Dailey and Lindsey." "Yeah, she sure is a keeper. Well I gotta go. Time for dinner." I said goodbye and hung my phone up. "Who was that?" asked Amber who was entering the room. "My brother, you'll meet him at the funeral." "KK." She was busy texting on her phone, she was probably texting Alfie. "Did you pack some warm clothes?" "Hu? Oh yeah sure." She replied. I grabbed her biggest suitcase and checked and saw that it held long sleeved shirts and some jeans, all the shirts were pink. I looked at the next biggest and found her curler, blow dryer, straightener and a bunch of makeup in it. "Ambs, you do know we're only going for 7 days?" "Yeah, but I had to pack enough makeup to look like I always do." "Fine." I hopped on my Apple laptop and looked up Delta flights from England to Minnesota. "Hey Fabian does a flight tomorrow at 5 AM work for you?" "Sure is that the earliest you got?" "Well we could go at 2:30 AM but Amber would be worried about wrinkles when she has to get up at 1:30 in the morning." I then took a close look at my wallpaper and saw that it was my final Christmas Eve with Gran. I felt tears come to my eyes but didn't let them go. "Nina, you okay?" "Yeah, I'm finished packing, so I'm going for a walk." I left the room and walked downstairs with my iPod nano in hand. I walked into the woods and put my headphones in and scrolled down to 'if I die Young' by The Band Perry and started singing to it.
If I die young, bury me in satin Uh oh, uh oh Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother The sharp knife of a short life, well If I die young, bury me in satin The sharp knife of a short life, well And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom The sharp knife of a short life, well, So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar If I die young, bury me in satin Uh oh (uh, oh) The sharp knife of a short life, well So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
I've had just enough time
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
I've had just enough time
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger,
I've never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand,
There's a boy here in town who says he'll love me forever,
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
I've had just enough time
What I never did is done
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The ballad of a dove (uh, oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them, oh
I've had just enough time
When I was finished I scrolled down to 'Haunted' by Taylor Swift and started sing,
You and I walk a fragile line Oh, I'm holding my breath Come on, come on, don't leave me like this Stood there and watched you walk away Oh, I'm holding my breath Come on, come on, don't leave me like this I know, I know, I just know Come on, come on, don't leave me like this Oh You and I walk a fragile line
I have known it all this time
but I never thought I'd live to see it break
It's getting dark and it's all too quiet
And I can't trust anything now
And it's coming over you like it's all a big mistake
Won't lose you again
something's made your eyes go cold
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
You're all I wanted
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't turn back now, I'm haunted
From everything we had
But I still mean every word I said to you
He would try to take away my pain
And he just might make me smile
But the whole time I'm wishing he was you instead
Won't see you again
something keeps me holding on to nothing
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
You're all I wanted
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't turn back now, I'm haunted
You're not gone. You can't be gone. No.
I thought I had you figured out
Something's gone terribly wrong
Won't finish what you started
Come on, come on, don't leave me like this
I thought I had you figured out
Can't breathe whenever you're gone
Can't go back, I'm haunted
I have known it all this time
Never ever thought I'd see it break.
Never thought I'd see it...
I felt someone or something grab me from behind and the earth went black when Taylor was sing the last line. When I came to I was still in the woods but this time I felt a pain shoot up my legs and there was a note was next to my iPod that sadly had a crack in the screen. I grabbed the note and then looked for my iPhone 4 and looked for Fabians number. The note read,
'Dear Chosen One,
Look out for me in America. –RZ
When Fabian finally answered his cell phone I said, "Fabes, can you and Amber come and get me. I'm by the old warehouse and it's an emergency." "What happened?" "I think I sprained my ankle is all and I can't walk on it." "Amber's busy picking out what she will wear for the funeral so I'll come get you with my bike." He hung the phone up and I sighed and sat against an oak tree. 10 minutes later I heard Fabian yell my name, "Nina, where are you?" I shouted back, "Over here!" He came riding on his bike up to me and felt up and down my leg that my well torn skirt once covered.
"Ouch!" I yelped when he touched my knee. "Looks like you night of shattered your knee cap. We should get you into a doctor soon." I nodded and he lifted me p and sat me on the handle bars of his bike. I held on tightly as he biked us back to the house. When we got back to the house he yelled for Trudy and told her that I had a nasty fall in the woods and that I banged up by knee pretty badly. She said, "Well get her into the car, dearie and I'll bring her into the ER. You may come with." He nodded and helped me into the back of Trudy's car. While we were driving to the hospital I looked at my iPod to see how bad it was damaged. He crack went deeply into the device and ran the entire length of the Nano; I frowned because to had been a gift from my Gran last Christmas. "Looks like we might have to leave in 2 more days or so." "Yeah, I gotta call Uncle Richard and get the funeral rescheduled." I looked at my phones calendar and saw that the next time we could leave would be December 22nd. "That's super close to Christmas and I bet you want to hang out with your folks." "We don't do much anyways and I'm 17 almost 18 so I'm almost a grownup. They can last just one Christmas without me. It's just Amber we have to worry about." As soon as he said that my phone went off with Amber's picture on it. "Nina, what happened to you?" "I fell that's all. Hey so the funeral's going to be moved to Christmas Day because of mixed reasons. I'll tell you when I get back to the house." "Okay, I guess I can still come. Mum and Dad are in Cuba anyways." I laughed and then said goodbye and hung up. "Well Amber can come; her folks are in Cuba for the holidays." Then we pulled into the hospital and Fabian helped me get into a wheelchair. He wheeled me up to the desk and I signed the necessary papers and Trudy did the rest. The doctor came and got me almost immediately and brought me into the X- ray room to get pictures of my leg. When he was done she showed us the pictures and said that the growth plate in my knee was broken (My little sister's friend had that happen and was stuck in a wheelchair for about 2 months.) But that it wasn't so bad that I would be able to board the plane with a brace and pair of crutches but that I would need surgery to re- construct the bone, and also that I would need a cast along with my brace to prevent further injury. I nodded and got changed into the pajamas that Trudy had grabbed for me. "Fabes, you can come back in now." He came in blushing when he saw part of my belly that the shirt wasn't covering. I pulled the shirt down and laid down on the comfy hospital bed. "How's your knee feeling?" "Eh, painful but nothing that a little surgery can't fix right?" "Yup." The doctor whose name was Dr. Susan, came in and handed me the itchy hospital gown. I was said to have to get out of my comfy jammies but changed into the pale blue gown anyways. I got onto the bed again and Fabian was sent into the waiting room to sit with Trudy while the surgery was happening. Two nurses, one with long straight blond hair and the other with thick curly black hair came in and wheeled me into the OR. Before I was put under the doctor put a mask over my mouth and told me to count to ten and then I fell asleep. In the dream I had, Fabian and I were eating a picnic in the gardens by the house when Rufus came up from behind me and started to stab Fabian in the neck. I screamed and ran into the house and found all my friend dead with blood covering their faces and clothes. The only one who was still alive was Amber who had put ketchup all over herself and played dead. We walked out of the house both armed with knives and found Rufus and killed him. I then ran to Fabian and held his poor dead freezing cold hand to my chest and started kissing his body. Then I woke up to the sound of the wheels on my bed squeaking on the overly waxed hospital floors. When I came too completely everything was fuzzy but then went back to normal. I heard a knock on my door and I told the person to come in. Fabian walked in with a bouquet of white and purple daises and lilacs and a teddy bear that had a broken leg, he was followed by Jerome who had a bunch of balloons, then Mick who was carrying about 50 teddy bears. (Like that scene in the Game Plan.) "How you feeling?" Asked Jerome. "Better my throat hurts but I'm better then I was earlier." "That's good." Fabian then came and sat on the edge of my bed careful not to touch me at all. "Hey, Nina, where did you get that cute dress?" asked Amber as she walked in. "Amber it's not a dress." "Why not?" "My butt hangs out of the back." "Oh." Fabians face went red after I said that. The straight blond nurse came into my room and squealed, "Amber!" "Ohmigods, Kimmy is that you?" "Amber, who is this?" asked Mick. Amber then replied, "Oh, this is my cousin." Then I saw that they looked a whole lot alike. "So this is the Nina that you've told about. Well, Miss. Martin I have your lunch right here and a Mr. Richard Martin called." "Thanks." "Well, I gotta go Doc. Baker wants me to give a sponge bath to the patient in room 189. Bye Amber." She left the room and Jerome went, "Well… that was awkward." I asked, "Where's Alfie?" "His folks came and picked him up for the holidays." "That gotta suck." I then picked up my phone and motioned for everybody but Sibuna to leave the room. I then called Uncle Richard and when he picked up he sighed in relief, "Thank god you called Nines. How you feeling, I was told you had to have surgery?" "I'm fine; I just shattered my knee cap. Hey I got a question, could you and Aunt Darcy keep Lydia on your farm during the school year, and move the funeral to Christmas Day or Christmas Eve?" "Sure thing, we've had your horse here since you first left for school this year. And how about we move the funeral to Christmas Day." "Okay, well I gotta go. Talk to you later Uncle Rich." I hung up the phone then said, "Okay, so Rufus may be in America while Me, Fabian and Amber are gone. What should we do?" Jerome raised his hand and started to say, "You could-"I then interrupted him, "No Jerome we are not covering him in tartar sauce like they did in SpongeBob." "But it would be so cool!" Then Fabian spoke up, "Well we could all just stick together." "Good idea Fabes. All in agreement please say yes, all that don't agree say nay." Everyone said yes, even Jerome. The doctor walked in and ushered everyone out, "You can return back to your house at 8:00 PM tonight because all we had to do was fix a small fracture line on the growth plate. Let's set your cast, what colors would you like to use?" He handed me a bunch of different colored little colors. I picked red white and blue for the colors and purple for the cover things for my pair of crutches. When the doctor was finished setting it she strapped the brace on my knee and helped me get steady on my crutches. A nurse, the one with thick curly brown hair from earlier, helped me change into my pajamas and helped me get into the waiting room and then into the car. When we got back to the house Trudy had already changed the flight schedule thing for the 19th.
