Chapter 6 Just an observer I

Brandon

I finally closed the door and almost crashed at the amount of pain I was in. I tried to act like I was fine in front of her but he couldn't bear the pain. The side of my torso were on fire like I was hit with a fucking sledge hammer and my legs were shaky like I was just learning to walk.

I stood in front of the mirror and examined my body and all I could do was wince at the ghastly sight, I looked like a bull ran over me. I had a lot of wound marks on my ribs which were broken because he could hardly move along my right arm and it felt like hell. My head was still banging furiously but it wasn't as bad as it was when I was lying down. I honestly didn't think I would be able to bathe myself but l was too proud to ask for her for help, not after how I had treated her earlier.

I didn't have to do much searching in the toilet for what I needed, she had put everything where I could easily pick them off. There was a new toothbrush, a little mouthwash in a white little cup that looked like tampons and a little bottle of lavender body wash soap. I filled the bath tub with some warm water so I could sit in and wash myself because l didn't think i was going to be able to stand and wash myself.

l dumped almost half of the little body wash into the water and moved my left hand through it because my right hand was hurting like hell. After I was satisfied with the amount of soap in the water, l realized walking back to the sink was going to be hell and l had already brushed my teeth. So l decided to make a throw, just a simple throw that showed how bad of a condition I was In and of course it missed the sink and the son of a bitch soap bottle went straight and made an ugly ass crack on the mirror.

"Shit shit shit…" I panicked. I had already been rude as hell to her, called her a bitter doctor and literally hadn't shown her gratitude for the help she offered me and for saving me from whatever horrible accident l might have been in. Just as I expected, I heard her voice by the door, and she sounded ready to kick the door down.

"Grumpy stranger!!!"

"What was that?!!, are you alright?!, please tell me that was something else that cracked and not your bone please," She asked, sounding worried as hell.

"Please tell me that wasn't your skull on my toilet floor or any of your bones, I still haven't paid the water bills for this month and I can't afford to carry a grown man down to the hospital," She said with a less worried voice and more of a playful undertone. I rolled my eyes at her flexible mood swings. One minute she sounds like she's worried for my life and the next she acts like she would find me falling off a goddamn building.

"Yeahhh...uhm Yeah," I stuttered, wondering why I was finding it difficult to lie.

"It's all jolly good in here, don't you worry bout a thing here mama,"

"Uhm, I just couldn't make a throw and It was a really sad throw, don't worry about a thing, I think…" I trailed off. That's if she didn't mind a broken mirror and a messed up reflection.

"Did you just call me mama?," She asked, She sound confused like she wasn't sure she heard me well, I also wasn't sure why I said it, so I denied it.

"Nope, I said no such thing alright. It must be the soap in your ear hole playing tricks on you," I tried to speak confidently, but I was sure my voice came out thinner. She was still going to find out about it anyways.

"You did say it, why did your voice get higher? You know that's the most famous sign of an amateur liar," She cornered me.

"Well shit…Busted"

"Look, I have no idea, alright, It literally just came out of my mouth. Now please can you let me take a hot bath, we are not exactly on a flexible time frame according to you," I changed the topic. I would worry about that later. For now I needed to know how the fuck I was going to get into the hot tub with out screaming like a bitch because the more I stood, the more I realized that I was probably not gonna be able to walk in the hospital, would definitely need a wheel chair, even though scared me ever since I was a kid andI used to see my Grandma sit in all day. It just looked and felt creepy.

I gently tried to lower myself into the hot tub and the slightly hot bath warmed both of my legs as I placed them both into the tub. I congratulated myself on a job well done for not slipping but that's when I jinxed it.

My bad arm decided it had had enough of trying to help and decided to disappoint me by giving up. I lost my balance and made a big splash into the tub and I finally understood why I was feeling a dull pain on my back, I definitely had a bruise on my back because the moment I struck my spine against the curve on the tub, I let out a pretty sharp scream that I was sure this time, it was going to bring her into the bathroom.

"Fuck!!!!...Bloody donkey!!!" I shouted as the bath water stinged me all over where I had bruises which hurted like hell. Tears came to my eyes quicker that I thought and I immediately poured some of the water on my face so it wouldn't been obvious, I felt a sharp pain strike me straight to tI back of my head and at my point felt like taking off my head and throwing it away because all it had done was give me fucking pain.
