It turns out I'm allergic to soysauce... I'm surprised at this, seeing as though I've eaten SoySauce plenty of times in the past. The docters explained that my body no longer allows it in my system. It's like posion to me now.
Over the entire week I was in hospital, my friends were there. Iggy would bring my homework for me from school and Nudge would be there to explain everything that happened from the moment she ate her cerial that morning to when she got out of her Mum's car when she got here. Though it bored me to tears, it was great to see Nudge cared so much.
But never as much as Fang. He took some of the days off of school throught the week, just to be by my side. He was planning to take the whole week off, but both my mum and his had to force him from my side to go to school. Even then, as soon as the last bell ring, he would get back to me straight away.
On the second last day of my stay at the hopital, I was playing cards with Mum, Fang and the others at school.
Mum sighed, arranging her cards and tilting her head slightly.
"What's up, Mum?" I asked, looking at my own cards. What a crap hand!
She looked up, a serious look cast upon her face. "Max," she started, "what are your feelings of Fang?"
I looked at her, stunned. Wait... what? "Er, he's my friend, I guess -"
"Ok, Max," she interrupted, picking up another card from the pile that sat between us. I hesitated to have my turn, still looking suspiciously at my mother. "Go on, Max. It's your turn,"
Ella was the first to get to the hospital that afternoon from school to see me. She smiled when she saw me in bed. I had not seen much of my sister. I suppose we had grown slithgly apart after I joined the Flock, especially since I knew for a fact that she was still jealous. But since I've been in hospital, she seems more open, and in a better mood. I was so happy to have my little sister back again.
We talked for a while about our days, hers being much more exciting than mine, until we fell into a comfortable silence.
"Let's go for a walk," I suggested, pressing a button for a nurse. I still had a drip in my arm and still need assistance in and out of bed.
"Ok. Where do you want to go?" asked Ella, getting off my bed as the nurse came in. It was the same nurse who gets my dinner. The short, round one. I learnt her name was Rhonda.
I was soon on my feet with a tall pole that help my drip that was connected to my arm sanding next ot me. I was on wheels, which made it easy ot move.
"Thanks, Rhonda," I smiled. She smiled, and nodded, exiting the room/
Ella came around to my right side, taking my arm so I wouldn't fall while I held on to the pole with my left hand. It was hard to walk since my legs were sore from lack of use.
We exited my room and walked slowly down the hallway. People - nurses, docters, visiters and patients - all rushed around us as we took our time though the hall, talking and laughing.
"So, what's going on between you and Iggy?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at my sister.
A blush rose from her neck, "er, I suppose it just happened," I nodded, understanding. Sam had agreed that we were better off friends. I didn't mind at all, to tell you the truth. "We're going on a date this weekend,"
I sighed dramatically, "my little sister is growing up!" I exclaimed.
Ella rolled her eyes, "oh, please! What about you and Fang,"
I stopped smiling immediately, wondering what she was talking about. I looked down, way from her, "I don't know what you mean,"
I heard Ella laugh, "sure you do," she murmured. I didn't reply.
We soon approached the hospitals reception that was at the end of the hallway. A large round desk sat at the wall along with a large amount of chairs. On the opposite side of the room sat a grand piano.
I turned to Ella to see her smiling. I waited where we stood, not daring to move without Ella as she went to ask permission to play the intrument. She returned triumphant. She guided me over to the stool that sat at it. She sat beside me, hands playing as they flew over the keys.
I took a deep breathe and sung along with Ella to one of our favourite songs:
"I woke up, decided I'd find my way around this town
Foolish girl, thought I'd be so lost without her
Adolescence left to wither, I didn't have a choice
It was me or you silly boy, it was me or you silly boy,"
A small crowd had gathered, patients and doctors alike. A guy with sand-colured hair joined in with his guitar and a young women hit the beat on a cleared table.
"Why do I
Justify
What you did wrong
To me?
You're love drunk, you're blinded
You've lost the ones who love you most
This liar's on fire, melted like wax
A mess it grows
And you're the one that chose it
That's just how karma goes
Why do I
Justify
What you did wrong
To me?
Look at me now
Look at me now
Look at me now . . .
Take a look at what I've become
Don't thank yourself I'm finally someone now
Look at me now
You raised me well I'll give you that
But in my face you surely spat
Would you look at me now?
Why? Oh I . . .
Why do I
Justify
What you did wrong
To me?
I'm alright
And I'm alive
And I'm just fine without you
Without you,"
There was a round of applause as the song finished, requests for more songs and performances.
I became overwelmed. Tired, almost.
"Ella," I stated, out of breath.
"Max, what's wrong?" said Ella, worried and taking my arm, eyes wide.
I chuckled, "Ella, I'm fine. Can we go back to my room now? I'm tired,"
She relaxed slightly, "of course,"
I smiled, relieved to be going back to my bed. Good to have you back, sis.
There's is chapter 31! I hope you enjoyed it.
The song Max and Ella sung was "A Mess it Grows" by He Is We!
