Damn...damn, damn, damn..
Chi cursed to herself from the examination table, swinging her feet idly in the empty room as she waited to get the xrays back. Her arm was broken, no doubt about that, but they had to go through the formailities before they set it and gave her her cast. After a few minutes, nice black shoes entered accompanied by a tall man in a white doctor's coat, a stethoscope around his neck. He was carrying a clipboard, lifting up the top page to read the one beneath it as he approached the table. Why did they always do that? She wondered, realizing that nurses and doctors did that quite a lot. If the bottom page was more important than the top page, shouldn't that page go on top? The tall man spoke, interrupting her train of thought.
"Well, that arm definetly is broken, Miss Amuri...the xrays are all too clear of that.."
No shit.. the girl replied in thought form, she hated how doctor's always skated around conversation like their patients were idiots.
"..blah blah blah blah..right away."
Huh? The girl hadn't been paying attention. Oh well, doctor speak wasn't that important anyway. Just then a wheeled cart thing rolled in with all of the cotton and do dads to fix her arm up all nice and pretty, a young nurse pushing it up to the right side of the table by her arm. It no time at all, the darked haired freshman sported a fresh white cast where her discolored broken arm had been. The nurse rolled the trolley thing away, and the doctor stepped out after her, leaving Chi alone once again. Chocolate eyes stared down at the blank whiteness laying in her lap, her arm cradled in front of her. She'd be staring at it for another four to eight weeks, until the bone healed. Maybe she'd paint it or something, make it look a little less bland, a little less cold. Maybe she'll do that when she got home.

"Oh yea, take these X-ray sheets to Ms. Amuri to see, please."
"Why, Dr. Hephiffison?"
"Weird name." Max thought, looking at the doctor's nametag as he conversated with her outside of a patient's room he had just come out of. The doctor was wearing glasses and holding a clipboard, but hey, just your typical doc right?
"Well, I don't know. To freak her out a bit, patients aren't such whinies when they see that we're the ones with the big brains after we show 'em what their maulfunction is. Here, it's just a couple sheets."
"O...kay..." Max said, taking the sheets from the awfully strange doctor as he then ushered her towards the door and began into the hall of other men in white suits and nurses in short skirts. Max straightened the white cap on her brunette hair that she had done up in a braid that morning as she approached the door and pushed it open, looking down at the X-ray sheets and sorting them out three bones at a time as she talked to the patient without looking at her,
"Well, miss, the doctor that you had to treat to your arm, Dr. Hephiffison, asked me to run these sheets over for you because you were int -- Chi?"
It was the girl from her school. Now why do you think she would be in a hospital? -_- waitasec, that was porbably what was running through Chihiro's head at the same time, too..."Um..."
OoC: Do you mind if we base this like ... after evaluations or just a normal before topic? -_-

((ooc: it has to be after evaluations, Chi's arm wasn't broken then...any threads prior to evaluations/hallway collision/midnight conflict are non-broken Chi...lol))
"Well, miss, the doctor that you had to treat to your arm, Dr. Hephiffison, asked me to run these sheets over for you because you were int -- Chi?"
Huh? The dark haired girl looked up, she had been staring miserably at her arm for the past few minutes and just noticed that familiarity in the voice. It was Max! She worked here? Chi quirked an eyebrow in her direction, the words the girl said totally forgotten.
"What are you doing here?"
((ooc: ugh sorry about the length))

"What are you doing here?"
"That is sooo the question I should be asking right now!" Max explained, eyeballing Chihiro dimly... it hurt ... when she thought Chi, she thought Aureus, and when she thought Aureus she thought Levi and it all just hurt. There was a tornado going on in her head, but Max just couldn't calm it. When she came in and saw Chi on the bed with the broken arm in a cast she had dropped all the X-ray papers, bending down to pick them up she took a breath and answered Chi.
"I work here. Duh! Why else would I be wearing one of these tacky outfits?" Max wasn't one that grovelled in the name of Versace or something, but she wasn't comfortable in tights, and believe it or not the nurse-uniform was very skin-peeling and it hurt her limbs.
OoC: Yippie! 'kay!

"That is sooo the question I should be asking right now!" Umm...Chi looked down at her arm and then back at Max, her dark eyes staring at her in a wide eyed expression. The reason was all too obvious. But she would give her the benefit of the doubt, it was probably a shock to see her here. Instead, she focused on the second thing Max said, so she did work here. The outfit made sense, though she too wished they could have been a little more stylish, and she didn't even work here. Oh well, que sera sera.
The dark haired girl looked at the papers in Max's hands as she gathered them back up again.
"So...what are those for again?"

"So...what are those for again?"
"Chihiro -- Aureus -- Levi! ... betrayal. Lies. Stupidity..."
"Huh? -- oh, um ... their just X-ray ... sort of like ... photographs of your arm. Looks like you were damaged pretty bad...there." Max spoke quietly in her sweet(ish) tone, it had dulled a bit since that day of evaluations. She felt a bit torn...a bit different.
"Um, so ... so what happened? Like ... y'know ... for you to require a cast...I've only seen a few people here in my thirteen-hour-shift for the past couple of days I've been attending that have needed casts. And they were pretty bad, so..." Max shuffled the papers a couple of times and set them down on the little white table near the door where there was a little box of tissues placed with a glass of water, not likely to be fresh knowing Hospitals, and a towel.
She took the small hand-towel from the table and poured a few droplets of the cold water onto it to, twisted it a bit after that and squeezed the water right back out of it back into the cup to make the cloth damp.

The dark haired girl quirked an eyebrow at Max as she began to ramble. She knew what x-rays were..she ahd simply been asking what the docter had asked her to do with them pertaining to herself and ended up getting a detailed explanaition of the girl's entire shift. Was something wrong? She decided to just leave it for the moment and inquire later if this odd behavior persisted. Chi gave Max a small smile to calm her nerves a bit, for whatever reason, glancing back down at her arm again as Max inquired of her injury.
"Got in a fight...with this guy...and he broke my arm."
She said with a shrug, lifting her arm a bit from her lap and immediately dropping back down with a cringe, it still hurt quite a bit. She should probably be getting a sling for it before she left, at least for the first few days. That should be funnn..

"Got in a fight...with this guy...and he broke my arm."
Fighting, one thing Max was totally hands down, 100% against! She didn't see why people used violence to retain themselves and let off their steam when they were stressed, why not just grab a bowl of popcorn and watch a late night movie on T.V. until two a.m. in the morning and forget it all like that?
Max was concerned about Chihiro at first, but then guessed she was a tough girl, she was able to can it. Max knew she wouldn't be able to if she were to get beaten up, but she was confident that Chi was able to cope with it after getting her arm broken.
She started to think of breaking arms ... of fighting ... of Chi, of Levi. No, not Levi again! Ugh! "Oh...well...that's pretty...bad, I guess." The girl stumbled in her speech, walking over to Chi and patting her hand with the damp towel. "You're...feeling better though, right?" Max didn't even realize how she was talking, how she kept stalling like that, but when she did she hoped Chi wouldn't. It was just...so weird...

"Oh...well...that's pretty...bad, I guess."
Well, it could be worse...she reasoned. Look what had happened to Aureus that night at the beach. That had been bad, but luckily she'd been there to help him. She took a look at the xrays, cringing a bit. Yeah, Travis had done a good job on her arm, that's for sure.
Chi looked back up to see Max wiping down her hand, she seemed to be preoccupied by something, but she couldn't tell what.
"You alright?"
She asked, ignoring the papers in her hand and her cast for the time being.

"You alright?"
"No..." Max urged herself not to say to Chi, when she looked up at the dark-eyed girl she saw those green eyes...she saw herself...she saw, looking back down Max shook her head quickly, smiling.
"Yes, I'm real ... like ... totally alright! I'm like super okay! I mean totally, I mean...yeah...how can I not be alright, Chi? I mean, I'm super! Really!" Max was on one large river called denial, but...she didn't want to talk...she couldn't....
"Okay, Chi, I'm ... I have something I want to tell you. Will you be a friend? It's...a confession."

If possible, the girl's eyebrow rose even higher, Max was obviously lying through her teeth. It wasn't any of her business either, what did she care if someone had problems? She had problems of her own. The dark haired girl crossed her arms, fixing Max with an 'oh really' look before she spoke again. A confession? That was getting in too deep. That would mean Max was her friend, did she have friends? Thinking of friends made her think of Aureus, and she wasn't about to cross that bridge either. People were confusing things, think one thing about them and they turn around and surprise you. So, against better judgement, the freshman shrugged her shoulders, fixing her with her chocolate brown gaze.
"Sure, whatever, shoot."

"Sure, whatever, shoot."
It wasn't important to Chi, but Max wouldn't tell it face-to-face to Levi. But she had to tell it to someone... pulling over the chair that was seated by the white table and pulling it over to sit near the bed, Max unintentionally started scrubing herself with the damp towel on the brow where sweat was coming down obviously.
"I...I did some horrible things, Chihiro...when the school evaluator came to oversee the school, I...there's this guy I know and his name is Levi, I met him recently...I...It's about Aureus. I don't think..."
Max bit her lip, " ... I don't know what to say, I'm sorry...do you want some...something for your arm? I really shouldn't have brought this up. It's too...stupid." Max said, nervous and getting up out of guilt because she couldn't get the words out of her mouth.

Chi had been contenting herself by counting the tiles on the floor when a few words caught the girl's attention. Horrible things...guy...Levi...Aureus... She didn't know the first guy Max had mentioned, but she definetely knew Aureus, and Max had mentioned doing something horrible. Chi's head bounced up, dark eyes warily attentive compared to her idle contentment before. Max definetely had her attention now.
"What happened?"
((ooc: Chi doesn't know about Levi/Aureus...if you haven't caught that yet lol))
