Ivory leaned back into the upholstery and turned to smile at him. "Unusually?" She pointed out. "I'm unusually quiet?" She looked down.
"I thought you didn't remember me at first, I have a hundred questions."
(i brb dinner heh)
“Then say them. The traffic here is terrible at the moment as of all the road works on South Road, the way we are heading so we have time.” He turned at the green light, heading towards the shopping centre.
(Okie dokie)
(im back heh )
(Heyo)
Ivory breathed in deeply. This was a moment she had pictured many times but never thought would actually happen. "Okay." She started. "Let's start off with the basics; what happened?"
“When? Now? You passed out surfing, I saved you.” He shrugged and got stopped at the road works.
"At the beginning." She answered promptly. "What happened between us?…or you..or me?" She was still a little dazed from the beach but she was just as curious as she was all those years ago.
“Oh, right…the day I left, we flew here to Australia…my parents,” He tried to keep from wincing at the word parents as they wern’t, “My parents thought you were a bad influence on me and didn’t want me contacting you…at all.” He sighed.
"Really?" Ivory replied, that made a lot more sense. "Why didn't you contact me now? I mean, you're an adult." She sighed and glanced at the non-moving cars in front of them.
“I was scared too, after… what happened when I left I didn’t know if you’d be angry at me or not, I didn’t know what I’d say until now.” The cars around the stated moving and they drove off again, the traffic getting better slightly as they went.
"Aidan," She started, "I'm not angry. I could never stay angry at you." She smiled faintly and noticed the traffic beginning to ease up. "Oh and thank you.. you know, for 'saving' me back there."
“Pft, it was nothing.” He smiled at her.
(Oft, sorry I;ve gotta go for a bit, I’ll be back later!)
(okee seeya!)
(Heyo)
(hi i just got back from canoeing and im exhhausted but still here!)
(Aha, okay I’ve only just woken up)
(its almost dinner time for me and i have to go out soon lmao but i'll try and stay soon.)
"Yeah, maybe it was nothing. But I doubt it." Ivory commented, looking out the side window half-heartedly. This was bad, very bad, if the anxiety attacks got any worse she wouldn't be able to compete and maybe even surf. Maybe it was just a one-time thing?
(Okay)
“Hey, you okay?” He asked, looking over slightly, “What’s wrong?”
"I-It's nothing important." She started. "Just..medication…not working." Ivory mumbled quietly.
(heyo)
“That is important, Ivory,” He sighed, “We can ask the hospital about it, we’re here now.” He pulled into the car park, finding it hard to find a space but eventually securing one near the entrance, luckily. Aidan led Ivory through the halls, knowing where to go as this was the place he went too for his own medical needs. He knocked on the door to the doctors door, “Dr Grey? You in there?” A shuffling of papers and the door opened, showing a short man, with a grey beard and glasses.
“Ah, Aidan and friend, come in.
"Thank you," Ivory nodded politely before walking into the office "Ivory Aveline." She held her hand out politely for him to shake.
He took it, “Pleasure to meet you. Now, what seems to be the problem today?” He looked at Aidan as if asking if it was him he need to treat but he shook his head very subtly and Grey nodded with the same subtlness. “Ivory, what happened to you now?” He gestured to the bed and for her to take a seat. He sat at the computer and Aidan lent up against the door frame.
"Well," She started "I'm gonna compete soon, so I thought I could catch a few waves for practice like I usually do." She sighed and glanced at the wall. "I'm on Xanax for anxiety and it makes me spacey, which I don't like. I'm on other stuff too but I didn't take some today because I don't need them." She nodded and stared at her hands.
"I don't need them," Ivory repeated.
Grey sighed, “Clearly you do need them otherwise you wouldn’t be here,” he made a few notes in his computer, “Now, I can prescribe you some other medication in place of the Xanax, it won’t make you as spacey but I won’t be able to get it too you for a month.”
Ivory nodded. "It would take some getting used too, but it's the only choice I have." She looked at Aiden and then back to the doctor. "Thank you." She said, standing up.
“No problem, I’m sorry but I just need to talk to Aidan privately for a few moments if that is alright?” He asked Ivory.
"Of course," She nodded. "I'll be in the car." Ivory walked out and closed the door behind her.
