As following week passed Alex and Zak only caught Passing glimpses of each other, Alex seemed to be recovering faster now and had slowley came off of her medication and stopped needing the pain killers, And on the following Monday Morning, Alex had an appointMent at the hospital to have her stitches removed and have Xrays taken to see how her skull and arm were healing, Ronnie was taking Alex to her appointment but Alex really wanted Glenda there. Carol was still coming to terms with Billiie's death and was taking time off from work at the bookies, It seemed to Alex that Glenda was always at work.

"Come on lazybones" Roxy said pulling the bed covers off Alex, But Alex didn't budge, She wasn't looking foward to the day ahead. Roxy sat on the bed grabbed hold of both of Alexandra's hands and pulled into a sitting position,

"Ronnie will be here soon, She will be taking you to the hospital of Dooooooom" Roxy said trying to put on a scarry voice.

"Me and Ronnie are going Shopping later, Mum has given me Money for a new coat, for the cold weather" Alex said in a bragging voice.

"Thats if you make it far" Roxy said.

"What do mean "Alex said looking confused.

"Well when the Nurce is snipping your stitches off, if she makes a cut, in the wrong place your cut will open up again and your brain will drop out on the floor, And you know once Brains have been on the floor they can't use them again" Roxy said trying to look serious,

"Well at least I have a brain to drop out" Alex smiling at Roxy as she climbed out of bed.


Alex sat purched on the bath tub, pouting.

"Mum, Its not fair, I don't want to go to the hospital without you, What if there is a problem" Alex Moaned while Glenda was trying to brush her teeth in the Bathroom.

"What Problem Darling, You are doing very well, Anyway you like Ronnie, And you and her are going to have a little shopping trip afterwards"

"I like Albert but I don't him to take me to the Docters" Alex said "Roxy said that if my stitches haven't healed when the nurse takes them out, my brain will fall out and drop on to the floor and they won't be able to put it back in"

"Oh don't listen anything Roxy says Darling, Now out of here, I need to use the toilet" Glenda said Pushing Alex out of the bathroom.

"Alex chuck me a fresh Nappy will you" Roxy said when she noticed Alex coming into the living room,

Alex just sat on the sofa ingnoring her big sister.

"Alex, Nappy now, Amy is butt naked and its not the warmest of mornings is it" Roxy said in a firm voice.

"Mum said, Not to listen to anything you say" Alex said grinning at her big Sister, while grabbing a nappy and sitting down on the floor next to Amy's Changing mat. Roxy started to put the nappy onto Amy and Alex bent down and blew a rasberry on Amys cheek, Making Amy laugh and kick her legs. Amy's foot hit Roxy steight in the mouth and Alex laughed.

"Outch,That was your fault Alex" Roxy said giving Alex a slap on her leg. "you can Finish getting her dressed now, I want to see if Christian has texted me back"

"How come you and Christian haven't been hanging out so much Alex said while pulling Amy's sweather over her head.

"Well I kind of accidentley spiked Syeds orenge juice" Roxy said while checking her phone.

"Roxy thats really Baaaaad" Alex said looking over at her big sister "What if he was on medication or if he was driving.

"Well he wasn't and When I need Advice on how to behave, I won't be asking my naughty little sister" Roxy said givng Alex a sacastic little grin.

Alex pulled her tounge out at Roxy.

"Alex why arnt you getting dressed" Glenda yelled noticed Alex still in her Pjs.


Zak waited in the visiting area at the prison with all the other visiters he looked as the prisoners coming through the doors and greeting their Visiters.

Charlie came through and sat across from Zak.

"How are you son" Charlie said looking Zak up and down.

"Alright, ya know, Dad I am sorry for tellig the old bill, its just we left Alex on the foor bleeding, and I didn't know if anyone had found her" Zak said trying to defend the fact that he had grassed his Dad up.

"Yeah well so you should be ZaK, how do you think your grandfather will react if when I am sentenced Tomorrow, if I get transferred to the same nick as him" Charlie said looking nervious.

Zak looked at his father knowing that his Grandfather was a dangerius man to cross.

"Ya know how ya grandad is over that Brat, he won't except that it was her fault, Your Grandad he will probably try and do the same to me, as I did to her" Charlie said worrying about seeing his Father again. Zak was shocked he had never seen his father in such a self pitying state.

"Well arnt you even gonna ask how Alex is" Zak said looking at his father.

Charlie looked taken aback "How is Princess Alexandra" Charlie sacasticley asked.

"The same as always except she has a crack in her skull and her arm in plaster cast" Zak said looking at his Father hoping Charlie would feel some kind of remorse.

"Yeah well the little Bitch as never had a beating before so she as been paid off in full"

Zak really hated his Father when he was being like this, it was if he believed that the world was wrong and he was right.


Alex sat on the bed in the nurse's room

"Now do you want your Mum to come and hold your hands, while I remove these, or are you gonna be brave girl and keep your hands down" The nurse said, thinking Ronnie was Alex's Mum.

Alex started to giggle at what the nurse had said, and she continued to giggle as the nurse appraoched her with the tool to take her stitches out. Alexandra's face began to change expression and her Giggles soon turned to tears, Ronnie Stepped forward and took hold of both of Alex's hands, Alex closed her eyes, She felt a tickle on the top of her head and she braced her self for what she thought was going to be a pain experiece.

"All done" the nurse said.

Alex opened her eyes looking shocked. She hadn't felt a thing not really, She slowley raised her and hand felt for her scar.

"Its a neat scar the nurse said "your hair will soon grow around it and You want even know its there"

Alex felt really silly to be crying as Ronnie wiped her damp checks.

The docter came in and looked at Alexandra's Xray photographs, "Well we will need to keep your arm in plaster for a few weeks yet, its healing well, but it really was a severe break, I think we should get a new plaster cast put on your arm, that ones getting a little old. now your skull is is a different matter, Its almost as good as new, I don't see any reason why you can't go back to school" The docter said patting Alex on the head. Alex made no effort to disguise her disapointment in the fact that she was going to be starting back to school.

Alex was allowed to choose a coloured plaster cast for her arm, So she chose a bright green plaster cast because of Halloween being so close. Ronnie and Alex went shopping and Alex got a new trendy looking coat.

Later Alex was plaesed to able to wash her hair in proper Shampoo, And Glenda brushed Alex's hair as she tucked her into bed that night.

"I don't really want to back to school Mum" Alex moaned.

"Alexandra Since september you have only been to school for one week and it is now nearley the end of October" Glenda said giving Alex a kiss goodnight.
