CC'S P.O.V.

ONE MONTH LATER

It’s another month until we are fully discharged.

I can finally walk without assistance and my ribs don’t hurt anymore, although I have to wear this REALLY uncomfortable bandage around them to stop them popping out again.

I still don’t know who the hell payed for my operations.

As we get ready to leave, Viv is fussing around, trying to find something.

"What’s up, Babe?" I ask.

She exhales

"I can’t f-find my necklace. The B-BVB one. T-They must have t-taken it off when they o-op-operated" she replies frantically.

She’s gonna tear the whole place apart if she doesn’t find it soon.

I walk up to the nurse.

"Hey, where did ya put the necklace that Viv had on?" I enquired.

"This one?" he says, fishing something out of his pocket and holding it up.

A jagged star with semi-circles surrounding it, swinging on a sliver chain.

"That’s the one, thanks" I say, taking it from his grip.

"Yo, Fusspot, this what you’re looking for?" I clasp it on her neck

She nods and slips her arm around my waist.

"L-let’s go!" she says.

I grab her hand and we sprint out of our hospital prison. We jump in Jakes car, whooping for joy to be out in sunlight again.

-

The wind whips through my hair as we speed (carefully) along the highway.

Viv is making the most of the convertible car and stretches her arms above her and tilts her head back, her hair too, flying out behind her.

She catches me staring at her, she smiles and laughs.

I grin cheekily and imitate her but instead of locking my elbows and having my arms straight in the air, I flap them around like a bird.

She shakes her head.

"W-what am I going t-to do with you?"

I have to think about that for a second

"Well, for a start you can take off your clothes-"

She pushes her hands over my mouth ‘"D-dipshit"

Jake laughs from the front seat and then stops at the traffic lights.

Turning around he says:

"The rest of the band were busy so they can’t some around today"

Viv looks a little crestfallen; I can’t help feel the same.

We haven’t seen them for two weeks, as to the nurses said that we needed to get stuck into rehab and that there were "no visitors allowed"

Party poopers.

Anyway, the band will be going back to do some more recordings soon for their new album for next year, so it’s not like we will see them much after that.

"Oh w-well" Viv says "There is always tomorrow night"

Jake smiles coyly "That’s the spirit!"

-

We drive off to her apartment and open the door

"YOU’RE BACK!!!"

Someone screams and runs up to me, grabbing me in a bear hug.

"Holy shit, chill!" I splutter.

He just shrugs and laughs.

It turns out that it was none other than devious Jinxx that caught me off guard

"Good to see you too, dude" I say, regaining my composure.

I can see Viv poking Jakes chest and saying "Liar" repetitively.

Jake just smiles and laughs "there’s a thing called surprises don’t cha know?" he says.

Sandra fist-bumps me. "Missed ya, drummer boy!" she winks

"Right back atcha!" I retort.

I glance over at Viv. Ashley is walking around her.

"Hmmm, only a few scratches. That doesn’t matter, it’s not like I would be focusing on that …..In bed. Oh, wait! The only person who will be climbing into bed is this dashing young man here!” Ashley walks over to me, puts his arm around my shoulder.

I ruffle his hair, laughing

"That’s right mate, it’ll be me, not you"

Viv storms off, fuming.

Ash and I collapse onto the ground, laughing our heads off.

"VIVIAN!" I hear someone scream, and then I hear a smash.

It’s just Andy, standing on the kitchen bench in utter sock, having dropped a glass full of wine in surprise of Viv waltzing in on him, dancing on the bench?

An AC/DC CD is blaring in the background.

"May I a-ask what you were doing?" Viv says, clearing up the smashed glass.

"Um, dancing on the table" He says, jumping to the floor with a little clunk.

"Idiot" I hear Viv say under hear breath, discarding the glass into the bin.

"AYE! EVERYONE! I HAVE SOMETHING I WOULD LIKE YOU TO HEAR!" Sandra says.

"IT INVOLVES CC!" she yells.

Ok.

Now I’m scared.

Walking into the lounge room I see Ashley sidle up to me "Has someone been a bad boy?" he asks.

He had to say that.
