The whole morning and afternoon I've spent reading and eating. I've been glued to the book John gave me for hours. Reading definitely passes the time.
When I've read the last sentence in the book, it's a sad moment for me. I've now finished the book.
The book was a slow burn romance story.
It was a decent read with powerful characters. I loved the receptionist/boss theme. I will definitely read more like this one in the future. I'd never read a novel with this type of story line so the book was refreshing to read.
Now I have nothing to do so I lay back and watch the clock tick by.
When my drip bag is finished the nurse comes over and detaches it from the cannula that's currently in my arm. I watch as the nurse moves around unplugging and detaching all the equipment.
When she's finished she pulls over a trolly with a little silver tray sitting on the top.
'I need to remove the cannula' she tells me.
I watch as she pulls off the sticky covering, hissing when she pulls. It fucking stings. The sticky stuff is ripping my hairs out!
The nurse throws the covering onto the top of the trolley then grabs a cotton ball from the tray.
'Stay still now' she orders. I stay as still as I can as she pulls the cannula out. The nurse places the cotton ball where the cannula comes out while she throws the cannula into the yellow sharps bin then she tapes the cotton ball to my arm with some white tape. More sticky shit!
'There, all done, I'll discharge you now' she says.
I watch as the nurse walks away, She walks over to her desk then picks up the phone. She talks quietly for a moment then put it back down then starts typing on her computer.
I wait patiently for whoever she's called.
I don't have to wait long at all. John walks in a few minutes later and talks with the nurse quietly. When they're finished he calls me.
'Come hope, it's time to go'. I climb off the bed then make my way over to John, he grabs my arm lightly then escorts me out of the bay.
When we get to the heavy doors John swipes his fob then pulls open the door. He pulls us both through then escorts me through the school building then we go outside.
As I step outside I take a deep breath of fresh air. After more than two weeks of being locked up it's refreshing to be out.
John pulls me along the path. I have no choice but to walk with him or be dragged along. We stroll along the path at a slow pace, when we pass the Y junction of the path I hear max shout for me. I stop walking immediately, waiting, forcing John to stop too. John lets go of my arm.
'You have two minutes' he warns.
Max comes jogging over. As soon as he gets to me he wraps his arms around me and kisses me gently. I kiss him back passionately until I'm breathless.
'I'm glad to see your out of medical' max whispers
'I've missed you baby' I whisper back. I've not had any physical contact with him, apart from the kiss earlier, in two weeks. It's sucked.
I snuggle into Max's chest, soaking up the warm and comforting feeling I get from him.
'Your times up' John announces as the bell goes for dinner. I lean up and kiss max quickly before stepping back from him.
'I'll see you in class tomorrow?' He questions.
'Of course' I say as I wave energetically at him. John grabs my shoulder then escorts me into the girls dorm block.
As soon as I step into the lobby, I spot April. She's currently walking down the stairs. When John steps in she's reached us.
When she walks past me and barges into my shoulder, I go to grab her but John is too quick. He stands in the middle of us. Separating us.
'That's enough! The pair of you!' He shouts. I step back, it's not the right time to have a fight. April has other ideas as she shoves John over to get to me.
John falls to the floor and I lose my shit! This bitch just hurt John! My father figure John! This bitch needs to pay!
