Nothing’s Changed, Chapter Two

Dana and Alice walked to Dana’s car, Dana apprehensively gave Alice the keys “Dana its ok I do know how to drive a car” Alice was jingling the keys in Dana’s face. “Yeh I know Al but when you drive sometimes you can be well… scary” Alice was slightly offend at what Dana had said but she shrugged it off. “Haven’t you heard the saying its not you I worry about on the roads, its everybody else.” Alice poked her tongue at Dana “Yeh I have heard that saying, but here’s the thing Al that applies to everyone else but you!” Dana then poked her own tongue at Alice “Wow Fairbanks break my heart why don’t you, hurry up and get in the car before I flick you in the nose… don’t test me you know I will do it.” Dana than hoped in the car and Alice climbed into the driver’s side. “Hey Dane how fast can this thing go? Vroooom!” Alice shook the steering wheel “Alice your such a babe…baby BABY…I meant baby.” Dana cursed to herself and Alice laughed and started driving to the nearest doctor. 

“Now Miss Fairbanks, The good or bad news first?” Dana looked at Alice with a worried expression on her face. “Umm it doesn’t really matter” Dana looked at Alice again and let out a small laugh. Alice was sitting on the edge of her seat and she was biting her fingernails her eyes darting from the doctor to Dana before she stopped and noticed Dana staring at her. “What?” Alice unknowingly looked at Dana smiling at her “Nothing its just… you” the doctor coughed and interrupted them “Sorry to interrupt but I have a lot of patients to see. Now Miss Fairbanks you do have a broken nose, it is quite a serious break however it is a clean break so you will not require surgery.” Alice mouthed ‘sorry’ to Dana. “I have prescribed some pills for you. These are pain killers that I would like you to take as soon as you get home because your nose will be very sore and tender for a couple of days, It would be better if you had someone stay with you because you are going to be drowsy and we don’t want you to hurt yourself even more now do we?” He slapped Dana on the arm, ouch. “I can stay over yours Dane and take care of you… That’s if you wanted me to but I mean I have already done enough, you wouldn’t be hurt if it wasn’t for me an-” Dana cut Alice off “Alice I would love it if you would stay and take care of me” Alice smiled. “Now that you ladies have that sorted there is one last thing before you leave…” The doctor started fumbling around in his shelves. “Miss Fairbanks you will have to wear this clear protective mask on your face for at least a couple of days, I suggest that you stay away from tennis completely during that couple of days. Also for the next month it is required that you wear this while you play tennis.” Dana’s jaw dropped she couldn’t believe that this was happening, she was now officially the most geeky person on the planet. Dana looked back at Alice who was mouthing the words ‘so so sorry!’ “I know what you might be thinking Miss Fairbanks but we wouldn’t want you being hurt by balls flying at your face” Dana looked at the doctor “Actually doctor that’s more up my friends ally.” Alice’s facial expression was priceless “Ha ha Dane your so hilarious…”
