Chapter ten:
The following day, Maia and Zoe were at the ED waiting to be called through for Maia's assessment. After a good hour and a half, Lily and Connie called them through.
"Hi Maia, how are you?" Connie said warmly.
"I'm good thanks, how about you?"
"I'm fine, now, how's the knee?"
"It's ok, it doesn't hurt as much as it did, but it does sometimes hurt depending on the position I put it in." Maia explained.
"Ok then, well we'll get you to x-ray and see how it is doing, but then I will probably suggest wearing a knee brace for a while and still using crutches for a bit, ok?" Lily said, removing the bandage from Maia's knee.
"Yes that's fine."
Lily and Connie walked out and Max came in with a wheelchair.
"Hello Dr Hanna." Max said in his cheeky voice.
"Hello Mr Walker." Zoe replied laughing slightly. She loved Max and Max loved her, but she didn't want to do a lot in front of her daughter as she didn't want them knowing!
"Come on Maia, in you hop!" Max said helping Maia in a wheeling her off to x-ray, with Zoe close behind.
When Maia went into the x-ray room, Zoe and Max waited outside for her. They went into a changing cubicle out of the way and began kissing and flirting with one another, but as quietly as they could!
They came out just in time as Maia came back out again. They bordered her on the wheelchair and they went back to the ED.
"I'll leave you to it then girlies!" Max said, Zoe smiled and winked at him secretly, only it wasn't as secret as Maia saw every move.
"So mum, are you in a relationship with a porter?" Maia blurted out directly.
"Maybe... Maybe not." Zoe said blushing, which made it highly obvious!
"It's fine you know, just tell me! I'm happy for you, really! Max is a nice guy, a nutter... but a nice person and I like him." Maia said. Zoe was about to reply, but Louise walked in: "Zoe, I had a phone call from Holby Primary, asking if you could go and pick Charley up from school as she has been sick and doesn't look very well. Sorry."
"Thanks Louise." Zoe said, Louise smiled and walked back out. "Will you be ok for ten minutes if I go and pick your sister up?"
"Yeah, I'll be fine, please go and sort Charley out."
Zoe nodded and kissed her daughters head before going to the Primary School to pick Charley up.
When she arrived, Charley was in the office, extremely pale and flushed, and had a bucket next to her.
"Oh Charley baby, what's the matter?" Zoe said picking Charley up.
The first aider filled Zoe in and sent them away.
"Thank you." Zoe said as they walked out. They went straight to the hospital and Zoe laid Charley in the staffroom and wrapped blankets around her.
"If you need anything, just ask anyone who is in here yes?"
"Ok." Charley replied weakly. Zoe went back to check on Maia. She was all sorted with a pink and blue knee brace and her crutches.
"Is Charley ok?" Was the first thing Maia said.
"Yes she's fine and is in the staffroom. She's really pale and has been sick a couple of times. Are you able to go now?" Zoe asked
"Yes, Connie said I'm fine and everything should heal well."
"Ok, will you go to the staffroom and stay with Charley please because I'm supposed to have started shift half an hour ago!" Zoe said chuckling. Zoe went to her office and Maia went to the staffroom.
"Hey Charley babe, how you feeling?" She said lying on the sofa next to her sister.
"I'm fine, I think." Charley replied, forcing a smile on her face.
"Ok, just go to sleep and I'll wake you up when it's time to leave."
Almost immediately, Charley nodded off. Maia thought best to leave her, so she went into her mum and Connie's office.
She knocked on the door and Connie opened it for her.
"Hey Maia, you ok?" Connie asked.
"Yeah I'm good, Charley's asleep so I thought I'd leave her to it and come in here." Maia explained sitting on the sofa and getting her iPod out."
"Oh ok babes. Your mum is in cubicles but she should be back soon, and her shift is nearly finished. I've got nothing to do at the minute so why don't we play quick questions?" Connie suggested. She wanted to get to know Maia a bit better and thought this would be the best way to do it.
"Ok!"
"Right then, I'll start. Birthday?" Connie started.
"April 29th, when's yours?"
"August 19th"
"Do you have a boyfriend?!" Maia asked laughing!
"Yeah..." Connie laughed, not really wanting to give away any more than that to a 13 year girl. However she knew that she could trust her whatever happened. "Have you?"
"No. I want one, but nobody wants I go out with me. I'm just a saddo loner when it comes to school."
"Oh, I'm sure that's not true. I mean you're gorgeous and are kind and very caring." Connie said, she was quite shocked at what she had just heard.
"Yeah, I hardly have any friends no matter how hard I try, and I'm always in the library reading because there is nothing else to do." Maia said sighing.
"Oh come here." Connie said opening her arms for Maia, who came up to her and hugged her. Then she saw the picture of Grace.
"How old's Grace?" Maia said wanting to change the subject.
"She's nearly six; in fact, it is only one month until her sixth birthday!" Connie said laughing.
"But seriously, have you spoken to your mum about the whole school issue?"
"No I haven't told anybody apart from you."
"Well, Maia, just ignore what anybody says to you and believe in yourself, you are a beautiful young girl with an amazing personality."
Maia smiled and hugged Connie.
Then Zoe walked in and smiled at the sight.
"Hey. Maia, Charley's awake and is asking for you." Zoe said, Maia nodded and walked out.
"What was that all about?" Zoe asked Connie.
"Oh nothing really, she's just having a few problems at school and things."
"Oh ok, why did she tell you and not me?" Zoe asked confused.
"I don't know, we were playing quick questions and then it kind of drifted away! But she said she didn't really want to tell anyone, but I gave her one of my looks and she spilled!"
"Alright, thank you Connie" Zoe said sitting down and laughing slightly. The shift was nearly over, so Zoe grabbed her things together and went to get the girls from the staffroom.
