Home Is Where? (CLOSED FOR NOW)

Chapter Ten

Aaron stood up "Come on Tam's lets go and get my car and drive down to the studio and complain"

"Sure. Wait a minute Ari don't you need to put some clothes on?" I asked while raising an eyebrow to him.

He looked down at his bare chest "Huh I guess so" he mumbled.

I couldn't help but laugh at him. He was such an idiot. Aaron came down a few minutes later with some clothes on. He grabbed a tenner of the side and quickly wrote a not for our mum. He then called a taxi. While we waited for the taxi he called the garage to see if he could pick up his car. It turns out he could but we might have to hang round the garage a bit as they weren't aloud to let owners take their cars before 8am. Some stupid company policy. The taxi arrived a few minutes later. By this time my phone was going crazy. Turned out most of the people I knew had seen the news and wanted to know if I was okay and that. I just set all my status as "I'm fine and so is Aaron and our Dad is recovering" It didn't stop much though. There was still people asking me questions and that when we got to the garage so I just turned my phone off. We had to wait around for about 10 minutes before Aaron could take his car. I occupied myself by walking around the garage. There was a motorbike tucked away in the corner I couldn't help but go over to it. It was a  Yamaha FJR1300A 2012 in Silver. I had always loved motorbikes, I would also love to have one. I miss the times Aaron use  to take me out on his before he got rid of it when he got the car. I ain't complaining I love the car too but there was just something about motorbikes made me feel a bit more complete. 

"Its beautiful isnt it?" One of the mechanics said behind me bringing me out of my day dream.

"Yeah" I said as I let out a breath I didn't realise I was holding. I reached out to touch the bike as the mechanic asked

"Do you know what make it is?"

"I sure do its a Yamaha and I think the model is FJR1300A 2012 am I right?" I replied while turning to look at him.

The slightly over weight mechanic looked shocked as he took in what I just said before he shook himself out of his daze and said "Spot on, how did you know?"

"I like motorbikes" I shrugged then turned back to it.

"Hey Tammy! Come on we can go now!" I heard Aaron shout. When I turned round the mechanic was still there. 

"Coming!" I yelled back, then I looked at the mechanic smiled and said "Well bye" 

"So what was you looking at?" Aaron asked as I got into the car.

"Just a motorbike. I miss riding on yours" I reply sadly.

"Hey cheer up Tam's" Aaron said happily, "You might get one. You never know!"

"I doubt that!" I scoffed "It took you ages to convince mum to get you one. Even after you had your licence."

Aaron just chuckled. I turned on the radio tuning it into City. I loved that station, they always did something funny and had loads of banter. The rest of the drive to the hospital we sat in a comfortable silence listen to the radio. Now and again we would sing along to bits of songs we knew, we Aaron did. I sat laughing at his terrible singing. At that moment "Bad Boys" by Alexandra Burke came on.

"Ohh I ove this song!" Aaron said while turning the volume up to full. "Yeah, the bad boys are always catching my eye, ohay ohay, I said the bad boys are always spinning my mind, ohay ohay" he sang while getting lost in the music.

"OMG AZZA!" I practically screamed

"What?" He said soon forgetting the song he was just singing.

"I didn't know you swung both ways!" I said while putting on my best pretend shocked face.

"WHAT THE.." he started shouting before he saw the turning to the hospital coming up. He pulled into the car park and quickly found a space. The whole time his face was bright red. I couldn't hold my laughter in anymore. Of course that just made Aaron even more red. 

"I can't believe you said that Tammy, I thought you was being serious at first" he mumbled when I started to calm down, of course that just got me started again.

Aaron sulked out of the car and went to pay for the parking, by the time he had come back I had calmed down. I got out of the car and Aaron locked it up. We then walked slowly into the huge building. 

***

When we arrived in our dad's ward he was sitting up talking to the person in the bed opposite him. 

"Dad!" I yelled while running over to his bed and giving him a huge hug. "I didn't know if you was going to be okay" I started to sob into his arms.

"Hey Tam's give him some space" Aaron muttered while pulling me away from him. "How you feeling dad?" Aaron asked once I was off him.

"I'm good thanks son. Baby-girl you had no reason to worry the doctors here are great!" he grinned with a twinkle in his eye.

"Sure you aren't on about the nurses dad?" Aaron winked while my dad just laughed.

"You guys are gross" I moaned. "I was just shocked to see you awake as they said that you was critical last night" I said with tear building up.

"Yeah Tam's but your forgetting how strong I am and that I am a fighter. You should know I never give up" he said looking me in the eyes.

"Well I'm happy your okay dad. I didn't sleep that much I was that worried." I said giving him a sad smile. "Anyway want anything from the canteen? I am starving!" I said standing up from the chair that I don't remember sitting in.

***

Me and Aaron left not long after eating. When we was bidding our goodbyes to our dad he said that we shouldn't worry and he will be out before we go over to America. That put my mind at ease. We drove straight home from the hospital. When we got in the house it was empty. I went to the kitchen expecting to see a note that our mum ha left but no, there wasn't one. I sighed, I hated it when she did this. It didn't happen often though so I suppose that's good.

"Hey Ari" I called out, "I'm going to get ready for school tomorrow"

"Okay Tam's" I heared a muffled reply from the living room.

After I got everything ready I packed some more stuff that was lying around that I wouldn't need that week and then crawled into bed. I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

***

I woke up bright and early the next morning. I got out of bed feeling much better than the day before. I grabbed my clothes and the stuff I need for my shower and headed to the bathroom. I felt so much more refreshed after my shower. I dumped my stuff back into my room and headed down to the kitchen where I could hear someone making pancakes. When I walked in I saw it was Aaron.

"Can you make me some please Ari?" I asked kindly.

"Yeah sure" he smiled but then it faded. "Are you sure you want to go in Tam's? I mean you don't have to. No I mean with everything thats happened in the past couple of days no-one will question why you will be off." He said while rubbing the back of his neck. 

"Hey Ari, it's no big deal. Im just gonna ignore everyone today anyway. Im just going to get out of the house." I smiled at him.

After I scoffed my breakfast down Aaron drove me to school. I said goodbye to him and stuck my headphones in. I ignored all the looks and the whispers and just went straight to my first class and sat in a chair at the back of the classroom. The rest of the day passed in a blur, I barley remember any of it...
