Deer In The Headlights

Jack's p.o.v
*1 week later*
"Jack, hunny. Time to wake up." My mum cooed, bringing me out from my restless sleep. I groaned, yawning shortly after.

"M'why?" I asked, opening my eyes to be met with my mum at the other end of my bed.

"You know why Jack, come on." She smiled, leaving my room. That's right, I was having my cast off my leg.

I mumbled senseless words into the air as I carefully reached for my crutches on the side of my bed. I then slowly got up, hurting my arm in progress. I guess I'm having both casts off today. I hopped out my room and to the bathroom.

After exiting the bathroom, I went back into my room and to get changed. I ended up pulling out my Green Day top, my black hoodie and some loose trousers. I quickly sat down on my bed and tried to pull off my current trousers. I steadily pulled them down, trying to get them over my casted leg. Luckily, the trousers were really baggy, so they easily slipped off my legs. Next was putting on my baggy trousers.

After struggling to get changed, I struggled yet again to get down the stairs. I know my leg and arm won't hurt anymore, but I still don't want to risk...getting then hurt.

"We haven't got much time, so do you want to eat out after the doctors?" My mum asked as I entered the living room. Was I seriously going to eat out with my mum?

"I guess." I smiled warmly to my mum. She smiled back, getting off the couch and collecting some stuff.

Me and my mum hopped into her car and put our seatbelts on. I was a little scared when my mum started the car and headed onto the road. I kept glancing back and forth as we drove more up the street. Obviously my mum was oblivious from my awareness, but I liked it that way; better than being asked questions.

"Hey um, mum?" I mumbled, as my mum was still driving.

"Yes Jack?" She asked, turning a corner. I would've jumped a mile in the air if the seatbelt wasn't securing me. A bus was on the side of us, driving quite fast. I felt my body shake in fear. I watched as it zoom past us and to the corner me came from.

"Jack? Jack, are you okay?" She asked, getting concerned. I'm not quite sure if she saw me jump a little, but I didn't care- I was too scared. I could've been on that road when that bus went past. It might of been the exact bus that hit me.

"Jack?" My mum asked again, gripping onto the driver's wheel even more.

"Mum, r-radio please, mum." I murmured, shaking a little. I looked down at my hands and lifted them from my lap. I looked as they were shaking. Not long now, Jack.

I woke up when I felt the car come to a stop. I suddenly became more aware of where I was. I shot my head up, hearing it click.

"Oh, Jack. I was just about to wake you up." My mum giggled, pulling the car keys out. I blinked, looking straight at the building in front of me. I saw the familiar hospital in front of me and frowned. The last time I was here was when the incident that won't leave my dreams happened. I shivered, un bucking my seatbelt. I felt my mum's eyes burning in the side of my head, so I turned around, and yep, she was staring at me. I groaned and opened the car door. I stepped out and closed the door to hit by the light wind. I shivered slightly as my hair went all over the place. I honestly didn't want to, but I did want to go back into that hospital.

Me and my mum walked into the familiar hospital. The smell suddenly hit my nose. All memories came rushing through my head. I swear I could smell the gorgeous smell of hot chocolate from here. Or maybe that was the man that just walked past me with a hot chocolate. I sighed at the feeling in my belly and headed to the reception.

"Hello." My mum smiled at the young looking receptionist. The receptionist shot her head up from her computer with a smile.

"Oh sorry, I didn't see you there. May I help you?" She asked, smiling as the dimples grew through her cheeks.

"Oh yes, my son, Jack Barakat, is here for the casts taking off." My mum said kindly, wearing her own thick smile. I stood there, leaning on the reception desk a little. I watched as my mum and the lady talked while the lady was searching on the computer. I started to look around. Some kids were playing with them strange toys were you had to slide the button across the metal wire. I remember having one of those when I was little and it brought back memories, some good, some bad. I looked around a little more. One women looked like she was bored out off her head. I frowned at her while she was looking down at her red dress.

"Can you go sit at the waiting room, please? Doctor William will come and collect you when he's ready." The brown haired receptionist smiled as she gestured to the waiting room. Straight away I let out a groan and they both laughed, obviously hearing me. I smiled weakly as we went to find a seat.

We found a seat shortly and sat down.

"Mum, I hate waiting." I groaned, playing with my cast. I remembered the scars underneath them. I wondered if the doctors said anything about them while putting my cast on.

"Well, you need to wait, hunny. Maybe if you waited on the path for traffic to go past, maybe we would't be here." She laughed, seeming that what she said was funny. It wasn't funny to me. Nothing she just said was funny to me. I frowned and anger built up inside of me.

"Well maybe if you didn't be a stone hearted bitch, I wouldn't of even been out on the roads." I snapped quietly making sure the people around couldn't hear. I felt tears in the back of my eyes but I blinked them off, turning away from my mum's sour look. I frowned down at my caste leg and scoffed.

"Hello, are you misses Barakat...and Jack?" A doctor asked in a white coat. He looked down at his clipboard with confusion in his face.

"Yes, yes we are." My mum smiled at the doctor by glared at me. I glared back at her, clenching my fist.

"Ah, yes! Follow me please." He spoke. Me and my mum got up and followed him.

We ended up in this weird small room with a little machines. The doctor gestured me room sit down on the little bed they had. He helped me sit back and went back to collect somethings.

"It won't take long."
