Chapter 3

During the night she woke more than 3 times feeling disoriented, and wondering where she was. Then it all came back to her in a rush. Her visit to the doctor's office, what he said and then finally her admittance to the hospital. She then fell into a restless sleep and again awoke but this time to the breakfast carts rattling into her room. She then forced her self up and experienced a wave of nausea, when it finally passed she cautiously peered under the metal dome covering the tray. What she found was, a heap of scrambled eggs, a slice of toast, apple, orange juice, and milk. Pretty normal, she thought before taking a bite out of her toast, and then took a mouthful of scrambled eggs before another wave of nausea took hold of her. When it passed she gave up on eating and just stuck with the orange juice.

When she finished with that she thought of how best to spend her morning since her family was only arriving after noon. She finally decided to tour the hospital, which was to be her temporary home for the next week or so. She started out by touring her own floor first then made her way through all 11 of the floors discovering a well-kept library and playroom on each floor, which she thought of checking out later. When she arrived back in her room she was stopped short at the doorway by voices she didn't recognize. When she slowly enters the room she was surprised to see that there were about 5 or 6 people around the vacant bed, comforting someone on the bed. She immediately felt like an intruder but she knew she couldn't leave, not now. "Um… hello," she said slowly. All eyes quickly turned on her, which made her feel like more of an intruder, but she quickly continued. "My name is Rory Harris, I'm your roommate."

She turned and looked directly to the girl on the bed, which she could fully see now. She now realized that the girl seemed to be around her age, with jet-black hair, blue eyes and medium build. Which was very different to her light brown hair and brown eyes.

"Hi, I'm Lorraine Matthews, and these are my parents. Her parents, Rob and Lurlene Matthews smiled warmly at her, and she smiled politely back. Cool this isn't so bad, she pretty nice, it doesn't even matter I no longer have my own room.

When her parents eventually left, the two roommates started to play cards, but were interrupted by a nurse at their door. "Hi, my name is Lacey and I'm one of the night nurse here. Which one of you is named Rory Harris?"

"That's me," I quickly answered.

"Oh, ok I was told to tell you that you're scheduled for a CT scan (a X-ray of her whole body) and an MRI, tomorrow."

Since she was eager to get everything done so she could finally go home and resume a normal life, so when Nisha asked if she was scared she calmly answered, "No".

When her family finally showed up she was overjoyed to see them, because seeing them reminded her there still was a normal sick free world out there.

"Hi mom, hi dad," she yelled the minute they cam through the doorway. To her surprise she was even glad to see her siblings. It was only after they were done hugging Rory, they noticed Nisha in the bed beside her.

"Oh…hello," her mom said hesitantly. "Who are you?"
