Chapter 6.

*KATIE'S POINT OF VIEW*

My head hurt. Why did my head hurt? I need painkillers.

It took me a while to open my eyes properly because for some reason they felt so heavy. It was like I had a hangover. But I don't drink! Eventually I managed to get my eyes open.

"Hello sleepyhead" said a strange voice coming from beside me. Who the hell was that? I attempted to sit up to get a good look at who it was but the owner of the voice pushed me back down gently. "Rest" he said. I soon recognised the voice. It was that guy I bumped in to at Rogue Cafe. What was his name again? I'm pretty sure I went on some trek with him or something. Tim? Terry? Toby? Yes, Toby! I remember! His name is Toby- Toby Turner!

After acknowledging his name I soon realised I didn't have a clue where I was. My surroundings looked slightly blurry but white and gleaming. This wasn't my place. "Whe...where am I?" I asked Toby in a feeble voice. "You're in hospital. Don't you remember Katie?" he replied gently. I attempted to shake my head but it hurt too much and so I let out a groan. "I took you up the mountains" Toby began to explain "a silly idea really- and you collapsed at the top. You were very dehydrated and it made you collapse Katie. You gave me such a scare!"

It all suddenly came flooding back to me. The mountain. Toby leading in front with the look of great happiness on his face and me trailing behind him with much effort. The aching inside me. The pain forming behind my eyes. The world spinning and my head hitting the ground. I remember.

Abruptly Toby burst in to guilt. "This is all my fault Katie, I'm so sorry! I didn't think about it properly! You didn't have a drink, no sunglasses, it was hot and you were wearing long sleeves..."

'Were'. He said I 'WERE wearing long sleeves'. That's the past tense! I quickly pulled my arms in front of my face, and as Toby said, I was wearing long sleeves. But not anymore; I was now sporting a plain and typical hospital gown with no sleeves at all. No!

"Katie...I've already seen your arms" Toby mentioned calmly seeming to notice my alarm at realising I wasn't wearing my long sleeved top anymore. "NO!" I shouted and broke in to sobs. "YOU HAD NO RIGHT!" "Katie!" he protested, "I had no choice! They had to change you in to a gown; of course I was going to see them!". "GET OUT!" I screamed now in sobs. "GET OUT, GET OUT, GET OUT!" Reluctantly Toby followed my request (well, more like command) and sulked out of the room like a scolded puppy with his tail in between his legs.

I flopped back on the bed and sobbed. I sobbed until I couldn't any more. Doctors and nurses came by and went by doing their job- telling me crying will only make me feel worse. I didn't want anyone to see my arms ever again. But obviously my cover had been blown by doctors, nurses...and Toby.

I guess I have some answering to do.
