Yeah so I'm still here and felt the sudden urge to update this story because I must be crazy and it's like 2:30 A.M. and I have work at 11 A.M. tomorrow but I miss this story and like I haven't even watched the show in like a year but I miss it and yeah. It' giving me nostalgia. I'm weird like that. This chapter was actually just saved on my laptop like I just read through it and fixed some grammatical and spelling errors and decided to post it. Okay hope you enjoy, Zim and Dib are so OOC in this story but like I don't even care anymore I just have fun writing it.
A few days passed and I had to stay in the hospital for longer than I had hoped. Although I was no longer angry at my friends I refused to talk to anyone while I was there. I would only reply with slight nods or shakes of my head. For the most part I sat on the windowsill and stared outside. Everyone brought me food but I only ate bits and pieces, the rest I let Gir eat secretly at night so they would think I was eating.
It wasn't healthy but luckily the nurses didn't notice and on the third day the doctor said I was free to go as soon as a parent or legal guardian came to get me. This presented a problem though. If Grammie came to get me we'd all be in deep trouble and I knew I couldn't let that happen. The only other choice would be sneaking out, something I was getting used to. I wasn't very happy with all this sneaking out and we probably wouldn't be paying the bill for this lovely hospital stay either.
"Hey Dib, what time is it?" Rachel asked, sounding as bored as ever.
"Three thirty." he replied in a similar tone. They had stayed with me in the hospital this whole time, despite the fact that I didn't talk to them. Leah let out a long, exasperated sigh.
"Does anyone have any idea of when we'll be leaving?" she asked, everyone shook their heads and turned towards me. I stared back at them, but said nothing. I figured I ought to tell them about what the doctor said because I was probably the one most eager to leave.
"The doctor said I was free to go..." I stated quietly. Leah jumped up and Rachel looked extremely relieved. Dib looked tired, but still just as ready to leave. Zim wasn't in the room, he never spent much time in the room. Gir was always with him as well.
"Why didn't you mention that before?!" Leah yelled. I blinked at her, skeptical to reply at first. I turned my head so that I was facing forward and stared at the wall.
"The doctor said a parent of legal guardian has to sign me out and there is no way that's happening so I wasn't going to bring it up until I had a plan." I replied icily, although I didn't intend on being so cold. Leah narrowed her eyes and took a step towards me but Rachel put a hand on her shoulder and shook her head.
"Why don't we wait until it's night and sneak out? It couldn't be that hard, could it?" Dib suggested, although he looked a bit doubtful. I nodded slowly in agreement as I stood up from the bed and walked over to the closet where our things were stored.
"I'm going to get dressed." I declared, retrieving my clothes and going into the bathroom. As I got dressed I could hear them discussing, with Rachel being the most logical out of them all. I ignored them after a while, because I was leaving today whether they came with me or not. I pulled on my boots and socks and brushed my hair a bit before coming out. All our things were already packed so there was no need to pack later, we were ready to leave.
"Kate..." Rachel began slowly, sounding upset. "I... don't think we should leave today." she continued. "It's still so cold and snowy out, I can't risk you-" she cut herself off as I whirled around to face her.
"You're not going to tell me what to do." I snapped at her. The three of them sat silently as I glared back at them. Rachel stood up, holding my gaze challengingly.
"Would you rather go out and have to come back the the hospital, again?" she retorted, placing her hands on her hips. Dib and Leah exchanged a glance behind her, looking scared that they might start fighting then and there. I narrowed my eyes at her and leaned closer, on hand on my hip.
"I'd rather be out in the snow than at any hospital at all." I countered, ready to start a fight if she continued to disagree. Leah jumped up and began to step between us until Zim burst into the room. Everyone froze and turned to look at him.
"Zim agrees with the Kat-Human. If we do not leave soon, my location could be found out." he said, glancing at me. I crossed my arms and turned away from them all to walk over and sit on the windowsill. I stared out at the snowfall that was quite heavy, but the doctor said I should feel better. Although he was probably assuming I wouldn't be on the run and wouldn't be out in the cold for more than five minutes. I shuddered and closed my eyes, picturing myself free of this hospital and frolicking through the snow. While doing this I must have fallen asleep, though.
The next thing I know I feel someone shaking me. "Kat-Human... Kat-Human! Zim demands you wake up!" Zim yelled, shaking me. I blinked my eyes open and noticed that it was dark outside.
"What? It's night time?" I asked, blinking up at Zim from the windowsill. He nodded and pushed me up.
"It's time to get going." he said urgently. I stood up and blinked, everyone else was already gone. I yawned and grabbed my bag. "Okay... let's go." I said.
Well hope you enjoyed, I have no idea who will even read this and it's so dumb but I might write another chapter tonight. I slept all day which was a bad idea... okay I'm a loser seriously. Review if you want I guess?
