The next thing I knew, I'd woken up in hospital, with Joey, the only person I wanted by my side. I was in bits.
"Joey whats happening" I was crying.
"Lauren, your fine, you had appendicitis, it's been removed"
"What I had an operation" by this time, I was hysterical.
"Yeah, I was so scared, I didn't think you were going to wake up, but its fine, they are letting you out today and I get to wait on you hand and foot"
"But what, its like 11am, we were in the Vic at 3 hiding out the back?"
"Oh right you don't know, you stayed in hospital overnight, Your Mum and Dad are going to collect us at 1"
"Ok"
"I got the flat on the plus side Lauren, I'm moving in tomorrow, so you can your room back then"
I instantly burst out crying in tears. "I don't want you to leave Joey, I love you and our 3am chats at night" Joey walked over and hugged me the best he could whilst I was lying down. I cried even harder into his shoulder.
"It's only over the road Lauren, you can come and stay whenever you like"
"B..But how are we meant to talk at night?"I cried even harder.
Joey climbed onto the side of my bed and lay next to me, we sat there talking like we always did a night, I fell back asleep into Joey's arms and eventually Joey did too, we were awoken a few hours later by my mum.
"Lauren darling are you ok"
"Yeah I'm fine"
"It looks like you've been crying"
"Not surprising that, I'd just had an operation and woken up in hospital, thinking I'd time travelled backward 4 bloody hours, finding out I'd been here overnight and Joey had been with me all night and that Joey is Leaving" I started crying again, Joey and mum gave a hug, I felt terrible.
"got everything you two?"
"I came in with myself.. um.. I swear I'm missing something OH YES MY APPENDIX SHALL WE GO AND FIND IT MUM?" Mum and Joey chuckled. "It's not funny"
"come one drama queen, I've had enough of hospitals"
Joey's right we need to go, your dad's waiting in the car.
