OK so it was a long-ish wait for this chapter but not unbearable. So u all might be ready to kill me at the end of this chapter. If not, that's cool, but some of u might be annoyed by the uneventful of this chapter. Or I might add the last bit on, idk, it all depends on how tired I am of typing. Ur probably confused at this AN but...*shrug*. Oh and iv decided on the age of 13 for Tru because, get ready to squeal with excitement, iv decided to write a sister fanfic, and it is based 3 years after this one is over and I want Tru to be 16, so 13 is the official age. But she will be acting older than she is due to the fact that I hate the way 13-year-old girls act. OK so now that that is out of the way enjoy the potentially boring chapter.
Chapter 3:
Tru sat in her room. Apparently the cut on her shin was more than a cut, it was a crack in the bone. Tru was positive that the doctors were wrong, how could she run with a cracked shin? The doctor said it was a mixture of adrenaline and survival instinct.
She had gotten stitches on her head from were she got hit with a tree, and on her shin under the cast. Tru still thought it was a mistake, she still didn't feel the crack, and it was way past her adrenalin rush.
Oh well. She thought to herself. At least I get to stay home from school for the next few days.
The doctor put her on bed rest and recommended she not do anything to exciting until she gets past the "shock" of being attacked.
At first it was nice to not do anything but, after the first few hours, the boredom started to set in. Tru was going crazy, she started off with watching movies, but that only lasts so long. So Tru moved on to watching all the seasons of Smallville, then all the seasons of Buffy, the House, then Angel, then Ghost Whisper, Dollhouse, Tru Calling, 3rd rocks from the sun, Numb3rs, and she was in the middle of season 4 of 7th Heaven. Tru let out a tiny giggle as Simon leaned forward on his father's desk with an unwaveringly serious look on his face as he said, "Dad... I just asked you to adopt my girlfriend, DO SOMETHING!"
"Awwwhhh I love Simon, best character ever." (no seriously, David Gallagher is an epicaly sexy actor, and his role as Simon in 7th Heaven is the best EVER.) "Shame they got rid of him, I would love to watch 12 seasons with Simon, but no, he had to hit a kid with his car and run off to college and eventual y stop showing up in the show all together." Tru hated the way hardly any of the original characters remain in the series. (oh side note to fans of So Weird, the actress who plays Fi, plays a small role in an episode of 7th Heaven in season 3, not sure if anyone cares but I know I flipped when I spotted her. OK im done.)
Tru gave a sigh as her stomach rumbled, begging for her to fill it. "MOM, FOOD!" Tru yelled, rolling her eyes at the T.V.
"Tru," Dottie began as she stepped into her daughter's room. "Have you ever thought that maybe I would like to be asked as opposed to ordered when you want something."
"I don't want something, I need something, and that something is food." Tru remarked. She knew she should be less demanding, but this was her mom's fault.
"Tru, you're on bed rest, and emotionally imbalanced according to the doctor. But that doesn't mean..."
"You made me walk five miles in the dark." Tru interrupted.
Her mom looked at her, rolled her eyes, and sighed, "What do you want to eat?" Dottie couldn't believe the way Tru could put her on a guilt trip with on simple sentence.
"Salt and Vinegar chips, oh a big big glass of milk."
"That is so gross." her mother muttered
"It's my favorite food combination." Tru answered back.
"It's disgusting." Dottie rolled her eyes as she walked out the door.
"Ya, whatever." Tru muttered once her mother had left.
A few minutes later Dottie returned with the chips and a glass of water. "Hey!" Tru complained as she glared at the clear liquid.
"You need to keep hydrated so your pain killers will work right." her mother explained with a hint of sarcasm.
"But, I don't NEED the pain killers. You just keep feeding them to me. Most parents would be worried about overdosing, but noooo you just keep numbing me up." Tru shot back, as she crossed her arms and sulked.
Dottie huffed. "Most teens would be happy to take such strong medication when they don't need it, but I got the one teen with self-control."
"Hey, that self-control is coveted by all parents, you should be happy." Tru smirked as Dottie rolled her eyes.
"Fine I'll stop giving them to you." Dottie was done arguing with her daughter over pointless things, she knew that it was the medication that was making Tru so impossible. But she could only be understanding for so long and, Tru was right, if she wasn't in pain than there was no resign to take pain killers.
"Good, now get me a glass of milk."
"TRU!"
"Fine, sorry, I wanted water anyways." Tru grumbled.
told you this would be a boring chapter, and the next one will probably be boring too, but the story has already been set up for you by the movie, so you already know all the characters and there relationships and there dynamics, but I have added a new person so I have to set up Tru's relationship with everybody. And the best way to do that is before the plot really starts to catch on, who wants to read a chapter like this right after reading about a scene with Rookery trying to kill the Sackville-Bag family. So, the beginning will be sorta boring, but please understand why I am writing it like this. Oh and pleases note that it will get sssssooooo much more interesting so keep reading. Anyways R&R.
