E&A.
(Bella POV)
"Stu-" groan "pid ground" I spat out as I clamped my eyes shut, trying my best to block out the pain that was surging through me like wild fire "Frigging get one up on me why don't you… big fat cheater" I added as I tried to sit myself up the best I could. I sat, surrounded by dirt, leaves, roots and bugs. Why did my clumsiness have to kick in at stupid times? Turning an innocent game of hide and seek into a search and rescue mission.
"Help" I croaked out, the pain that wracked my body constricting my vocal chords from working properly. I coughed, trying my best to clear my throat before I tried my second attempt at shouting for help, managing a decent volume.
I looked up, out of the hole that had engulfed me, seeing the continuous colours of brown, green, yellow and orange. Where the hell was everyone? I wondered as I continued to look up and out from where I was stuck, did they think I'd found a fabulous hiding place? I laughed to myself, in a way I had I thought as I looked back at where I was heaped on the muddy ground.
"Shhhhhiiiittt" I groaned as I wave of pain passed through my left leg, I clenched both my hands into fists as I tried to control the pain, which only bought more as I realised that my left arm was also busted. Great… just great I thought as I panted for breath and looked at my left side. That's going to cost me about two months off work I thought as I sighed, the left side of my chest aching.
I rested my head back against the wall of dirt behind me, trying to focus my attention on where most of the pain was coming from. My years of accidents and injuries had taught me how to concentrate my attention on where the pain was coming from, making it easier on myself if I needed to know where to place and ice pack, or if my injuries were worse, easier on the hospital staff so they'd know where to start looking to fixing up. I clenched my teeth together as I moved my left leg, I guessed that I'd broken one of the bones in my leg from the pain and from the ache in my wrist, I'd either bruised it or sprained it. My side hurt, but it wasn't agonising to breathe, bruising was probably the cause for the pain rather than any breakages I told myself as I tried moving my right side, finding all was ship shape on that side.
Analysis over, I turned my attention on trying to get Edward and the other's to find me. "Help" I shouted again, trying my best to hear in between each shout for any sounds of footsteps, laughter or my name being called out.
I looked at my watch, trying to figure out how long I'd been trapped in this God forsaken hole. From the time that the hands showed on the face of my dirt covered watch, I'd been down this hole for about half an hour already. Had I passed out? I bet the fall from last night hadn't helped matters as I fell, hitting my head would have been inevitable I suppose, me being me, queen klutz Bella Swan I thought as I shut my eyes, resting my head back, praying that someone would find me soon. I could feel the pain beginning to pound in my leg, the adrenaline that had been surging through me body from the shock was probably wearing off, meaning the pain was seeping through me, making me conscious of every bruise and cut I could feel covering my skin.
"Help me! Please!" I shouted as loudly as I could one more time, my eyes beginning to sting from the tears I was battling to hold in. The tears weren't forming because of my physical pain, they were threatening to spill because I felt so defeated. I felt tired of having to keep myself on my toes when it came to my face colliding with the floor, tired from all the drama with that Mike Newton and I just wanted to be comfortable, settled. To iron out all the worries that battled with me when I closed my eyes, the worry that nagged at the back of my mind when I thought of Edward leaving me or that I'd become distant with Jacob now that I'd moved away from home. This weekend had proved other wise; Edward had been a gentleman last night, taking care of me when I fell, had a headache as well as other needs. Jacob had managed to charm Edward, Emmett and Jasper, the four guys together last night after our little get together around the table had been warming to watch. The four of them talking about 'guy' stuff while us girls hushed and scowled at them while we tried to watch a movie. Men… they had no tact.
"Bella?" the voice of my Greek God rang out above me, followed by a stampede of footsteps. "Bella!" I opened my eyes, waiting to see Edward's perfection before me.
"Bells honey! Where are you?" I heard Jacob call after Edward "Dude, she's not usually this good at hiding…" he added, probably confused at how I'd kept myself hidden for so long. He'd soon find out.
"Help!" I shouted one last time, hoping I wouldn't have to do it again.
"Shit."
I looked up to see Jacob, Alice, Jasper and Rose towering above me.
"Good hiding place Bella" Emmett called out as I saw his form inching closer to the hole.
I sighed as I saw a pair of green eyes shining down at me.
"We'll get you out of there Bella, just wait a little longer okay" the owner of the spell binding green eyes told me, washing away my anxieties.
I nodded in reply as I gritted my teeth, a sharp stab in my leg taking over most of my senses.
(Edward POV)
I battled with what I wanted to do, and what I knew was the sensible thing to do. My body and mind demanded that I jump down into the hole with my Bella, to comfort her and make sure she was safe, but luckily logic stepped in and finally took over the rains quickly, dismissing my foolish want, reasoning with myself that I wouldn't be much help being stuck down there with her. I needed to be strong and take care of the situation.
I turned away from the sight of my fallen angel who was squeezing her eyes shut and clenching her jaw tightly as she tried to hide the pain from the rest of us, she looked so small and vulnerable. I looked around to the others as I tried to think of a way to get Bella out. Emmett was stood with his arm loosely around Rose's shoulder as she stood as still as a statue next to him, one of her hands held to her forehead as she stared unseeingly at the gaping hole in the ground in which Bella was trapped.
A sound of a heart wrenching sob prickled my ears and I looked to see Alice slumped on the dry yellow leaves, clinging to Jasper who had crouched down to sit with her as she cried into his chest, mumbling phrases of "Get her out" and "Stupid ground".
I sighed as I shot the hole a quick glance, would Jacob think that I was unable to care for Bella now that he'd seen how she'd been hurt when I could have prevented it, if only I had stayed with her, taken care of her like I should have. A large, warm hand rested on my shoulder as I scolded myself at my neglect toward Bella. I looked at who the owner of the hand was, looking straight at Jacob.
"Don't beat yourself up Edward. I of all people know by now that this was bound to happen to Bella sooner or later. She's been experiencing a dry spell when it comes to accidents and emergencies lately. I guess last night was kind of like a trial run…warm up…" he stopped to look toward where my Bella was now trapped, in pain, suffering. When he turned back to look at me, I didn't expect to see a faint smile on his face "you passed that one, so I guess that you can now handle any kind of misfortune that hits our Bella." he smiled wider this time before his eyes darkened and the smile vanished from his face. "How do we get her out Edward…" he asked as he trailed off, his voice a mere whisper as he rubbed the back of his neck in anxiousness.
"Emmett" I called as I thought of a plan over in my mind "You and Rose go get the cars, bring them as close as you can" I said as I threw the keys of my Volvo at him. Emmett blinked twice at the keys which he held in his hand before he pulled Rose behind him toward the cars. He'd probably been stunned that I'd handed the keys of my precious Volvo to him. But desperate times called for drastic measures.
"What do you want us to do?" Jasper asked me as he pulled a gloomy looking Alice up with him, holding her close.
I thought for a few moments. I knew that Alice didn't like small spaces, that time in the garden was proof enough and her thinking she was stuck up the tree earlier had spooked her, but what I needed her to do was necessary. "Alice, do you think you could go down to Bella?" I asked, holding up my hand to silence her as I saw her eyes grow wide and her mouth open, ready to spill forth her rejection "She needs help down there, you're the only one who we could lower down there and keep her as distracted as possible. Please Alice, for Bella" I added, hoping that if she wouldn't do it for me, that she'd do it for her best friend.
"No, you can't make me go down that pit. Tell him Jasper" Alice cried as she stepped away from the hole, shooting looks between me, Jasper and the hole. "Don't make me do this" she whispered as her eyes locked on Jaspers.
"Alice love, you're the only one who can help Bella right now. Be strong. I know you can do this, and you will. You trust me don't you?" I heard Jaspers always calming voice speak to Alice.
"Of course I trust you, you idiot! It's that hole I don't trust, what if I can't get back out, or it falls in on me? I'll be trapped and buried bloody alive!" she said in hysterics, her hands shaking and as tears ran slowly down from the corner of her eyes, down her cheeks and dropped to the ground.
"I won't let that happen Alice. You know I wouldn't" Jasper's reasoning voice rang out, seeming to calm Alice's hysteria with each word. "Do it for Bella…" he added while closing the small gap that had been created between them "Do it for me"
"I'll go and try to reason with her too" Jacob's voice made me jump as I came back to reality. I'd been so wrapped up in the goings on of Alice and Jasper and how they were such am amazing couple that I'd forgotten that Jacob was still stood next to me, awaiting orders. I nodded as he took a step toward them both.
"Get the tow ropes from mine and Emmett's trunks when he and Rose get here" I added as an after thought before I turned back to the hole where I could hear my Bella's heavy breathing.
I sat on the ledge of the hole, careful not to go too close and fall in myself "What hurts?" I asked as I saw her let out a long pain ridden breath.
"Nothing, I'm okay. How are you?" she said, unable to hide the pain that laced each word she spoke.
"I'm fine and dandy…" I said, laced with sarcasm. I sighed. She was always so selfless, trying to make everyone happy before she got to herself. "Just tell me what hurts Bella, and don't say that nothing hurts again, I can see the pain in your eyes and face and hear it in your voice and with each breath" my voice sounded demanding, even to me.
"Fine. My left leg is broken and I think my arm might be bruised or badly sprained…" she said as she kept her eyes down. She was hiding something.
"What else?" I asked and watched as she grimaced from my knowledge of her hiding information from me.
"My ribs hurt a bit." She said in a sigh, looking up to me and showing me with her eyes that she was telling the truth.
I groaned as I saw her wince again in pain "I'm such and idiot, I should have stayed with you, taken care of you… crappy boyfriend I turned out to be" I grumbled to myself, mentally beating myself up over the situation.
A snort came from below and I looked to see Bella laughing quietly. I felt my forehead crease in confusion as I watched her trying to control herself enough to speak… had she hit her head?
"You plank Edward! Weren't you listening to Jacob yesterday?" she giggled "You should know by know how much of an accident pro I am, last night was evidence enough" she added, sobering up as she said "Bella Swan, always the klutz".
"I'll be there to catch you from now on Bella, I promise." I said as I saw her moving the fingers of her left hand testing it as she flexed them
"Calm down Edward, I'll be out of here in no time" shining her breathtaking smile at me "The doctors will patch me up and I'll be back home in a few hours, I could even cook us all dinner if it'll get you to stop being so self loathing.
I almost jumped from where I sat when I heard her speak so freely of cooking dinner tonight "Are you mad? You are not getting off that cute bum of yours till you leg is 100 healed, do you hear me?" I growled. "And don't argue back" I added in and after thought, knowing she would.
"I was kidding… jeeze" she rolled her eyes before she gasped and clutched her leg with her right hand. "Shit… it" she ground out in between her clenched teeth.
The sound of two engines advancing caught my attention. "Bella love, I'll get you out of there as quickly as I can" I said as I got up off the ground "I'll be back in a minute" I said before I turned to see Emmett, Rose and Jacob coming back from the car's, two yellow tow ropes held on Jacobs hands.
"Lower me down"
I turned to see Alice's pale face looking up at me, her eyes shining with tears from the crying but her eyes shone brighter with the determination that seemed to radiate within them and in her stance.
I smiled weakly as I told her of my plan to lower her down to be with Bella, to keep her company, but more importantly to secure the ropes beneath her. She nodded as I told her and gave Jasper a quick kiss before Emmett and Jake began to lower her down, Jasper calling words of encouragement along with Rose as she descended lower.
"Howdy dudey" I heard her chirp as her feet hit the ground, her voice sounding cheerful.
"Hunky dory" Bella replied before the both of them laughed and I watched Alice sitting down beside Bella. I didn't miss the way her eyes shot around the small space in which she was caged.
"Yeah, if you and Edward take the lower half…" I hear Emmett say and turned my attention toward the rest of us who were stood next to the hole. Emmett was stood on one side of the hole, reeling up the rope that had lowered Alice down as he spoke to Jasper and Jacob "Me and Jake can take the upper half, should be no problem, she's as light as a feather, right Edward" Emmett asked as he picked the second reel of rope up from the ground.
"You okay honey" Jasper called as he inched his way back toward the hole, looking anxious as he was probably fretting over how Alice was coping in the small space below. "And you Bella, you okay?"
"Push on back up Jasper, Bella and I are trying to have ourselves a much needed girly chat down here! Now shoo, go back to the guys okay". She called from the hole, sounding of all sweetness and sugar as she did her best to hide her fear from him. "Love you" she called out after as Jasper took a few step back toward Emmett, Jacob, Rose and I. A goofy smile spread across his face.
Now that little Miss Jasper is back with us…" Emmett sighed before his brows knotted in confusion as he took in Jasper's dazed look. He snapped his fingers in front of Jaspers eyes which caused him to snap out of his daze "as I was saying… back with us… we can get this show on the road" he said as he lead the way back toward the hole.
I nodded as I walked around to stand opposite Jasper, next to Jacob. Jasper and I held on to one of the ropes as Jacob and Emmett held the other. They would lower theirs and Alice would snake it under Bella so that it would go under her arms while the lower rope that Jasper and I held would go under her knees. We'd have to make sure that we pulled her up steadily, but I had faith in the four of us, we all wanted Bella out.
The four of us lowered the ropes and waited as Alice did her bit, still talking away, something about a 'Twilight' movie that she was going to treat Bella to when it come out to the cinemas as she secured the ropes beneath her. Rose added to the conversation as they chatted away, just as if the three of them were sat at home in the living room, relaxing and sipping on coffee.
"On the count of three" I called as Alice gave us the thumbs up, turning back to Bella as she continued talking, seeming to forget where she was and what situation she and Bella were currently in.
The four of us pulled at the rope and made steady progress. Rose was stood the base of the hole, telling us when we were tilting Bella one way or another and calling out encouragement to her as we raised her higher and higher out of the hole. I concentrated on every move I made, making sure I didn't pull to hard or too slack while at the same time analyzing my Bella, from her gasps, to her groans and from the way that her eyes closed tightly every now and again from the pain.
"Thank God" I whispered to myself as the four of us began to walk with Bella, to set her down on solid ground, a fair distance away from the hole. We slowly set her down on the blanket of yellow and brown crackling leaves. "Bella" I whispered her name as I fell to my knees and ran my hands over her face, my fingertips tingling as I touched the smooth expanse of her cheek and forehead.
"Get Alice out" she croaked as she gulped, her right hand balled into a fist as her left lay resting on her stomach "Get Alice out" she repeated in a stronger voice.
I turned to see that Jasper was already standing beside the hole, collecting the ropes back up again while Rose talked to Alice, telling her she did well, that Bella would be fine while also saying it was all due to her and her bravery that she got out safely. I sighed as I thought of how Alice had gone against her phobia to get her best friend to saftely. "Their getting her out now love" I said as I turned back to her "Lets get you to hospital" I added, standing up and turning to look for Jacob, knowing Bella would want him with her as he usually was.
"You go" Jacob said quietly, I turned to see him standing behind me, looking down at Bella who lay still on the ground, breathing slowly and deeply. "Stay with her, demand that you stay with her, only leave her side when she has to go to radiology… I've never seen her this bad" he whispered, turning to look at me, his eyes showing the shock that must have just hit him.
I nodded mutely as I looked down at my hands, they shook so violently that I had to clasp them together just to still them. I'm in no fit state to move Bella I thought, feeling frustrated with myself.
"I'll do it" Emmett said from beside me, clasping his hand on my shoulder as he moved to stand next to Bella.
"Bells honey, I'm gona go help Rose and Jasper to get the sprite out okay. We'll meet you at the hospital…" Jacob said as Emmett bent down and scooped Bella up effortlessly into his boulder like arms "You behave now you hear, no flirting with any of them high flying doctors anymore, you've got Edward now" he added in a jest, his voice sounding a little weak.
"Party pooper" Bella sighed, a small smile on her beautiful face as she answered Jacob.
I left Jacob, Jasper and Rose to get Alice out as I walked along side Emmett and Bella, thankful that Emmett had been here to do what I should have been able to do, to carry my own girlfriend to safety… stupid nerves.
"I'll help you get back on your feet Bells, at no cost of course… but you could pay me back by cooking your lush meals once your healed… for a year, I think that would do it" Emmett joked as we neared my Volvo which I zapped open "We could try working on your balance too…" he laughed as I opened the back door for him to slide Bella into the back seat to lie down.
I closed the door after her and made my way around to the other side, so that I could sit with Bella's head rested on my lap, I'd let Emmett take the wheel, just this once seeing as it was an emergency.
Getting into the hospital all passed in a blur. Doctors and nurses ran about in flashes of white coats and specific coloured uniform. I demanded to wait with Bella as the doctors checked her over, confirming her suspicion that she'd broken her leg, sprained her wrist and bruised her rib, possibly sustained a hairline fracture in one rib. I held on to her right, free, undamaged hand as they studied her, only letting go when I had to, running my hand over hair and temples instead.
I was now on my way to wait in the family waiting room until the nurses had finished with her in radiology. I wasn't allowed to go there, just like Jacob had said.
I smiled as I remembered the words the kind, old, mother like nurse spoke to me as she lead me from the room where Bella lay and a few paces down the hall, her name tag reading 'Jean' "Now kid, you just go wait in the family room, down the there, third door on the left, just before the coffee machine" she stopped walking and indicated with her withered hand "She'll be fine, your wife's one of those people who I call a fighter, a tough cookie" she smiled as she shifted to one hip "You're a lucky man to have snapped a gem like her up".
"I know" I smiled back to her, not wanting to correct the kind nurse as to the fact Bella was just my girlfriend, not wife… yet.
"She's lucky to have you too kid" she added in a soft voice "I can see in those eyes of yours how much you love her, your both so lucky" she added before she waved vaguely before her "Third door sweetie, to the left" she turned and made her way back to the room where Bella was.
My heart had stuttered as I'd watched the doors opening moments later and Bella's paler than usual form lying on the bed coming out, and being lead away toward the lifts. "You take good care of that one Ludo" Jean called out to the doctor who led Bella toward the lifts; he nodded his head, muttering a quick 'will do'. "Good boy Cludo" Jean then laughed as she passed through a pair of doors and out of sight.
I grasped the handle of the family waiting room door, knowing that the others were probably waiting for me in there, for any news on how Bella was doing. I let out a breath as I opened the door. I stood in the doorway, watching as Jacob paced back and forth, as Rose toyed with Emmett's hair he rested his head on her lap, lying across four chairs. Alice sat silently on Jaspers lap, biting her nails as he swayed the both of them rhythmically back and forth, gazing at the floor as he did so. I pushed the door closed behind me which caused a 'click', the sound caught their attention, causing Jacob to stop pacing, Alice to pounce off from Jaspers lap and Rose to stand up, causing Emmett to topple to the floor, grumbling as he rubbed his elbow and got up to sit on a chair.
"How is she?"
I looked over at Jacob, one of his hands fell at his side while the other rested on the back of his neck. "She's just gone up to radiology… I wasn't allowed to go with her" I answered his question, adding the last bit, wanting him to know that I wanted to be with her, but was prohibited. "She's broken her leg and sprained her wrist, they're just checking to see if she's got a hairline fracture in one of her ribs now".
I made my way to sit down, letting my head drop into my hands, feeling defeated and worn out.
"Chill" I heard Jacob whisper and looked up to see Alice biting her bottom lip and nodding, making her way back to Jasper and Jacob gave Rose a quick hug and pointed at a chair, telling her to sit as he sat himself down beside Jasper and Alice.
I ran my hands through my hair, pulling at it in aggravation. I was so mad at myself that I'd let Bella get hurt like that, I knew deep down that I probably couldn't have stopped it, but the knowledge that I might have been able to bit away at me. I felt a little better when I remembered that Emmett had offered to help Bella to get her leg muscles back strong again, I thought of my step father Carlisle, he'd be able to keep an eye on Bella for me, it'd save her from having to attend all those hospital appointments and I'd get to see more of him, and hopefully my mother too.
We all waited another few minutes before Jean popped her head back through the door "Chin up kid, she's fine. She hasn't cracked a rib, so that's good right? Just a little bit of bruising, but nothing that a bit of time'll fix. You can go see her now, your wife's been callin' for you, been askin' for her Edward" she smiled as she looked from me, around the room at the others "Well aint she a lucky lady with all you here to see her too, come on in then kids" she called as she pushed the door open wider and motioned with her hands for us to follow.
I smiled and instantly felt lighter from Jean's kind, supportive and easy demeanour. "Thanks for everything Jean" I said as I made my way toward her, taking her warm, wrinkled hand in mine and placing a small kiss on the back of her hand.
"Well aint she the luckiest girl alive to have you" she said, laughing as I dropped her hand, shooing me toward the door which Bella was behind.
"Jean my lovely, come 'ere" I heard Emmett's voice call out, followed by a round of laughter and giggles. I could only imagine that Emmett had pulled her into one of his bear hugs, probably spinning her around a few times too.
I didn't see any of it though as I pushed my way through the doors which obscured Bella from me. I sighed in relief as I saw her sitting on the side of the hospital bed, looking a little pale and tired, but her eyes shone as they met mine.
"Doc says I'm good to go. I've got to take about two or three months off work though" she spoke as I made my way toward her, taking in the sight of her bandaged wrist and cast covered left leg.
"That wont be a problem" I said as I stood before her, resting my hands on her knees before I leant down and pressed my lips to hers, my whole body feeling alive with just one touch of her against me. "I'm going to get my piano bought over from my parents house and I can teach kids from home, that way I can stay home with you too. My dad's a doctor, I could get him to check you over every now and again, save us having to commute all the way to the hospital, and I'd get to see my parents" I paused before adding the next thought that had been playing on my mind for the last few days "You could meet my parents too… ask them over for dinner… they could meet Alice and Rose too, catch up with Jasper…" I babbled in nervousness.
"That would be nice" I looked down at Bella, seeing a stunning smile on her beautiful face, pushing all my anxious nerves from me "I could cook, I-I mean tell someone the instructions to how to cook a um… certain meal…" she trailed off, stuttering when she'd seen my stern face. I'd already told her the score on that matter.
"Good" I whispered before I kissed her again, revelling on the feel of her against my lips, beneath my hands.
"We should head home" Bella whispered, her breathing sounding a little raspy as I kissed my way from her mouth to her neck, darting my tongue into the hollow at the base of her throat, making her gasp and grab hold of my arms.
"Shit"
I pulled my lips away from her throat to see her holding her left wrist in her hand, chanting a list of profanities under hear breath. I wanted to kick myself as I watched her riding out the pain "Sorry" I said feebly, looking down as her chanting began to slow.
"Too darn sexy for your own good… husband" she said, laughing lightly as I looked back at her "Jean, the nice nurse, you know?" she asked, I nodded in reply "she thought we were married" her smile almost blew my away "I liked it" she whispered as she leant forward, resting her head against my chest as I draped my arms around her.
"Me too" I whispered back, feeling ten feet tall from her confession.
"She liked me the best" growled a deep voice from the other side of the doors.
"In your dreams sunshine" a stern, high pitched voice rang out defiantly.
"Wana take this outside Pixie?" Emmett's voice grew deeper, threateningly.
"Bring it" Alice stated simply.
The sound of them bickering reached Bella and I, I could feel her shaking with laughter against me as we listened to their childlike antics.
"Would you two quit it?" Jacob said, trying to stop the squabbling pair.
"Yeah, sorry" Emmett said quietly, probably looking down at the floor.
"Sure" Alice replied, no doubt with an innocent look on her face.
"It was obvious I was her favourite" Jacob said, unable to hold back his laughter.
"Lets take the kids home" Bella mumbled against me before leaning back and looking up at me "We should let them run around in the garden, ware them out before sending them to bed" she laughed, rolling her eyes as the sound of continuous bickering seeped into the room from the ajar door.
I took a step back, looked at her busted leg and picked her up in my arms, there was no way I was letting her have the excuse of walking and I couldn't see any wheelchairs in sight. And truth be told, I liked it better this way, Bella clinging on to me as I held her close to me. "You could have just gone and asked for a wheelchair you know" Bella sighed as we walked out of the room, passing the others who were still bickering and made our way toward reception.
"Are thee complaining fair maiden?" I asked, pretending to be aghast from her statement.
"Oh hell no" she whispered as she pressed her lips to my throat, earning a squeeze from my hands form where I held her.
"Um… sir" a small, young voice called out from behind me as I made my way toward the entrance. I turned to see who looked like a new member of staff pointing his hand at a wheelchair and then to Bella who was still comfortably and safely in my arms "You might need one of these… you know, just a thought…" he croaked as he looked over Bella, no doubt as stunned as I was by her beauty, I couldn't blame him.
"I guess" I muttered as I made my way over to the wheelchair that was ready and waiting. I lowered Bella down, making sure she was okay before I lead her out before me toward my car.
"I liked it better in your arms" I heard her mumble as I directed her down the ramp.
"Soon" I whispered, gaining myself another one of her stunning smiles as she turned around in the chair.
A/N: Named it E&A coz it reminded me of some fun times back at school with my buddies, we kinda got in the habit of calling A&E (Accident and Emergency at the hospital) E&A.
The character 'Jean' is based on the woman I work with at the hotel place, as does the twin – BookMe, she works with her more than me. She's the bestest! She's fifty something, says 'shit' a lot when she messes up and calls every young person around the place 'kid'. She so cool!
Need to give the band 'Denali' a big shout out!! Thanks to them; I managed to write about 12 pages in a matter of about 4 hours (coffee and cake breaks included)
"Hello? Hello!? Oh there you are kid!! This is Jean speaking to you. How you doin'? You alright? Good… good. Now then, be good would you and do a review thingy for this story. I'm not good with machines and the web and what not, but apparently, your supposed to click on that little button thing down there… that's it kid, just press the button… yeah like that… now write something nice… you've got it kid, you've got it… see, wasn't that hard was it?"
