"Where the hell were you last night?" I said turning over to face Michelle
"I drank too much, too quick and decided to come sleep it off. Had I known you would go all mortal combat I would have paced myself." She said laughing "Ill go get you and ice pack."
I got out of bed and my head felt like it was splitting in two, my jaw hurt and my face looks like absolute hell. Looking in the mirror I wasn't prepared for just how bad I looked. My eye was swollen and my jaw was a sickly colour of black, blue and purple. School should be fun on Monday.
Sighing I brush my teeth, which let me tell you. I couldn't brush more than my front ones as my mouth no longer wanted to open. I throw my hair in a messy bun and slip on some denim shorts and baggy white long sleeve before walking down stairs.
"Morning." I grumbled grabbing an aspirin and coffee
"Oh my god. Im going to kill him." Ryder said grabbing my face
Tears sprang to my eyes, my jaw was absolutely killing me.
"Ow, fuck. Gentle!" I hissed at him slapping his hand away
"We need to take you to the hospital Dani. A bruise shouldn't hurt THAT much." Michelle said handing me an ice pack
"No, I dont need to go." I said pressing the ice pack to my face
The front door opened and in came Tyler and Lydia
"Holy mother of god, look at your face!" Lydia said coming close to me
"I know, I know." I groaned back "I'm a fucking supermodel."
"Last time I saw a jaw looking that bad was when Jax broke his." Tyler said examining it
"No. Theres no way my jaw is broken." I say holding the ice pack tighter
"Come on, get up. Lets go." Michelle says grabbing my keys from the counter "Lyds you coming?"
.
.
"Danielle James!" The nurse called loudly "Come this way honey, Dr.Bartoli will be right back, he is just grabbing your xrays, Okay?"
"Thank you" Lydia smiles
The sterile white door opens and shuts quickly. Dr.Bartoli was a large Italian looking man, beautiful olive skin, dark eyes and dark hair to match
"You have a pretty clean break my dear, we can either wire it shut or I can wrap a bandage around your head to prevent you from opening your jaw wide. Now tell me again how this happened?" the doctor explained with a pained look on his face,
probably thinks I have an abusive boyfriend
"Go for the wire, Jax had it and it healed fairly quick." Lydia says quietly "The bandage just makes you look dumb and it takes WAY longer to heal."
"Well I guess ill go for the wire then Doc. I was drinking and slipped on the pool deck and smashed the side of the pool." I say with a half smile.
I know if I tell him the truth he will have to log it and I know I will get a call from the police station
First month here and I already have to get my jaw wired shut. Im gunna make those Riverside pieces of shit pay for this.
"Want to go for ice cream?" Michelle asks
"Yes." I mope "Lydia?"
"You know it. Oh fuck look look look!" Lydia says as we turn out of the parkade
