Sorry for the wait! But Heck! It's finally the weekend! And you know what that means! I'll give you a hint: It starts with " 2 new" and ends with "fan fics"! I finnaly made a long chapter! Before I start writing, I want to clear up on some of the medical terms I've used throughout my story:
Greenstick fracture-A break that doen't fully brake through the entire bone.
Compound fracture- A break that breaks the bone and tears the skin.
ICU-Intensive Care Unit.
There is one more. I won't give it cuz it'll give away the story.
Here you go! chapter 6!
The next morning Jimmy woke up. He was glad to see that he was in a soft bed this time, not covered in blood, under a wrecked bus.Then he pushed up forward to get up, but the only result that he got was a pwerfull surge of pain and shock. Damn. He remembered his leg. The door swung open and his mother came in, seeing her through slightly blurred vision.
"How are you feeling?" She asked.
"Bad..."he sighed."I hurt all over. Where are Carl and Sheen? Did they make it out OK?"he asked suddenly remembering his friends and what had happend the previous day.
"They're both fine. Carl only had a twisted ankle and Sheen and broken arm. Sheen is in the other room."
Jimmy thought for a second. Then he realized he wasn't in his house. He was in Retroville Hights Hospital. He was glad his mother was here, and the thought of having Sheen one room over offered some comfort. Carl was probably home, he wasn't hurt badly enough to stay here.
The next few days went by as slow. Slow beyond all reason. Seconds seemed like minutes. Minutes passed as hours. He slept most of the time, the compound fracture not allowing him to do much more. One day Jimmy's mom came in a faint smile on her face. She stood in the doorway.
"Jimmy Honey! There's someone here to see you!" She moved over, Revealing Sheen who was now well enough to walk around, now with a bright purple cast around his right arm.
"Hey Jimmy! Look at my new awesome Ultra Lord cast, complete with hard case and RoboFeind straps!" Sheen said in his hyperactive voice. Jimmy smiled.
"That's great Sheen..." He laughed quietly.
"So wattya in for?" Sheen asked. Jimmy removed the blanket, revealing the cumbersome cast constricting his leg.
"Broken leg." Jimmy said in addition.
"Bummer. That ugly white plain cast isn't gonna do you much good either. Oh well. At least it's better than Cindy's."He said.
Jimmy's heart stopped again. He was so stupid. How could he forget? He sat up immediatly, but was hit with an immense shock of pain from his leg. He pushed the "Forward- " button on the remote controll that moved his bed. He felt it raise the top half of his body up and forward. He felt blood rushing upward to his head and it blurred his vision for a second before clearing away.
"Whoo! I gotta go to the bathroom. Se ya 'round Jim!"
"NO! SHEEN! Wait!" Jimmy coughed. "Which room is Cindy in? Where is she? Wha-"
Sheen cut him off... "She's in room 304, she just came out of the ICU. I saw her this morning. Libby's mom drove her over here to see her too. It's too bad though..." Jimmy had stopped listening afer the first sentance.
"And by the way, Your room is 215." Damn! Jimmy thought. She was on the third floor and he was on the second. Sheen left. Jimmy pressed the "+"(for a nurse) button. A few minutes later a nurse popped in, Her pure white uniform clean with a pin on her left side that said "Nancy."
"What can I do for you?" She said politely with a caring smile.
"I need to go on the third floor and see a friend of mine. Can I go?"
Her smile faded."I'm sorry. I'm not allowed to move you without the Doctor's permission.
"Do you have the Doctor's permission?" He asked impatiently.
"Not before the first five days. You've only been here for three days. I'm very sorry. Do you need anything else while I'm here? Water? A snack? Anything at all?" She said sympatheticaly.
"No, Thank you." Jimmy sighed.
For the next two days, thoughts of Cindy dilluted his mind. He then began again to blame himself for her severe injury. He tryed to read, look at the school work Carl had brought him. Nothing.
Jimmy woke up that day. It was almost 2:00. He realized what day it was. The fifth day! At 2:00 Cindy would surely be up!
He did all his morning business. Grabbed a tooth brush from the bedside table beside him, brushed his teeth, washed his face with a wet cloth, and changed his clothes.
Then finally,he pushed the "+" button. Nurse Nancy came in.
"It's the fifth day! It's the fifth day!" he said. She starred for a second but then realized what he meant.
"So it is! What room are you going to visit today?" Jimmy tryed hard to remember what room Sheen had said she was in. Damn! He'd forgotten. Sheen had left home the other day, he couldn't ask him.
"I...I don't remember.." He frowned.
"It's on the third floor you said two days ago. Is it that same one?" She tryed.
"Yeah! Yeah that's the one! Ohhh...There are probably 50 rooms on the third floor or on any of these floors...I'll never know where it is."she said.
"Hmmmmmmm... Do you know the name? There is a list downstairs that has all the patients and what room they're in. If you give it to me I can ch-." She said with a hopefull smile.
"Cindy! Cindy Vortex!" He blurted out out exitedly.
"I'll write it down..." She gave Jimmy a raised-eyebrow look. He blushed. She wrote it down on a post it note, stuck it to her clip board, and left the room. Jimmy waited anxiously for a few minutes before the nurse's return.
"OK, Jimmy. You're friend's room is room 304." She said happily." You wanna go now?" Jimmy nodded 'yes'.
She showed him to a wheelchair, but Jimmy asked if he could have a pair of crutches instead. He figured he needed some exersize. They walked down the hallway to an elevator. After going down a hallway, turning left, and follwing a purple line, Jimmy found himself at the door of room 304.
