Chapter 2 Stay out of Punk's room

"So, who was that?" Raven asked as she and Jamie walked back to Jamie's room, it was time for yet another shot in the on-going war against Jamie's health, Raven hated that Jamie was here, going through all this crap, out of all the times they had been in hospital, Jamie held the new record, not that that gave Raven any comfort, someone like Jamie didn't deserve to be in hospital, she should be at home like a normal teenager, instead she was fighting a war that she didn't even know she was in, but at least to a point, Jamie was winning. Well she would be, until she had this shot.

"No idea. But he was so nice, and his hair was is so pretty!" Jamie gushed moving her crutches like a pro, Jamie liked her crutches but somewhere inside her she couldn't wait to say good-bye to them, watching Raven walk down the corrider on her own two legs was something that Jamie could only dream about, at least for the moment anyway.

"Jamie, you can't go around, going into random rooms, not everyone is nice and you're slower these days"

"Hey!"

"I meant because of your broken leg" Raven smiled at her sister, out of everything that Jamie had going on, it was only the trauma to her head and her impending future of being 'slow' that offended her, everything else she could handle.

"Oh" Jamie smiled "But he was so nice! And he had such pretty hair"

Raven let out a chuckle, pulling out a smoke and lighting it up, "Jamie, I know he was nice and I agree his hair was quite pretty but going around to random rooms is dangerous, you never know who is waiting on the other side, not everyone is a nice guy with pretty hair"

Jamie giggled as they turned to her room, Raven opened the door and let Jamie hobble in first, greatfully she sat in her bed and threw the crutches to the floor, she couldn't wait for the day she could throw them out the window.

"Ms Michales you can't smoke that in here"

"Sure I can, watch" Raven took a deep drag and blew the smoke out her nose making Jamie giggle, Raven looked just like a dragon when she did that. "See, I can smoke here"

The doctor let out an angry breath, making Raven laugh "Alright, cool your jets" She shoved it an a flower vase filled with water, "See, its out. Proceed"

Jamie settled back in bed as the doctor took her arm and pulled up a bright vein, "Alright Jamie, this won't hurt a bit."

"Bet it will and you're lying to me. Again" Jamie said bitterly looking away from the needle, after all the shots and lies the doctor had told her, she was really starting to hate needles and the hospital, there was only the visits from her family that made it better. Jamie let out a smile, now the nice guy with the pretty hair was another good point. Jamie winced letting out a painful hiss as the cold needle poked her vein and entered the system. The doctor gave her a gentle smile and rubbed her shoulder, "There you go Jamie, all done"

"Yeah for now" Raven muttered, thankfully Jamie didn't hear her. The doctor gave her another harsh look, still upset about the smoking before leaving them alone. Raven sat down on the bed and promptly lit up another smoke, "Man I hate it when they make me put it out, its like they do it to just be annoyin"

Jamie settled back in her bed, "You shouldn't be smoking anyways, it can't be good for you"

"Going into random rooms and meetin strange guys can't be good for you"

Jamie giggled pulling the blankets back up, "He was nice, and he had such pretty hair, so smooth and black." Jamie lay back against the bed obviously still thinking about Punk. "And he was pretty, with his green eyes and pretty pictures, he had a thing in his lip, just like you"

Raven didn't pay too much attention to it, it was just another thing added to the list of Jamie's fixations, soon something else would come along and Punk would go straight out the window. But in case it wasn't, Raven gave her the command anyway.

"Jamie, you can't go into random rooms and meet strange guys, they could be dangerous and you have been hurt enough, I don't think any of us could handle it if you got hurt again"

"What are you saying?"

"Stay out of Punk's room"

"Do I have too? He was so lovely and he had pictures on his arms, just like you"

Raven let out a sigh as she kissed Jamie's cheek, "Now I have to go, Dad will be by on Friday and Izzy will call you tonight" Raven gave her diary a quick check, "And Harmoni will see you tomorrow, but in the meantime Jamie"

"Stay out of Punk's room?"

"Stay out of Punk's room"
