Chapter 26: Strange Happenings

"You must be Jesus "! Isa said as she saw a handsome man in white looking at her. Her time on earth had finally come to an end and here she was looking at the face of her very own creator before she finally closed it.
" Isa answers me, are you okay?" Scott slapped her lightly on her jaw trying to bring her back to planet earth but her eyes wouldn't stay open. Zack came rushing as he heard the noise and Mrs Macy and Claire showed up almost immediately.
" What happened to her? " Mrs Macy asked as she kneeled beside Isa and tried to wake her up.
" Her foolishness caused it." he pointed to the broken pipe. He was still wrapped in his towel with soap all over his body. He ordered Mrs Macy to call the doctor and he went back upstairs to finish his bath. Isa was carried to her room and the call to the doctor was already made as Mrs Macy dabbed her head with a wet towel while waiting for the doctor. Her eyelids opened slowly and she gazed at her surrounding. She didn't see the handsome creature she'd seen earlier. Oh hold up, she was still on earth. She suddenly felt pain as she tried to sit up and Mrs Macy told her to lay back down as she gave her something to drink. Urghh it was damn bitter as she gulped the substance down. Minutes later, the doctor came and examined her. She had a few broken bones and she needed to be taken to the hospital! Urghhh this didn't sound good. Why couldn't she just have patience? No, she tried sneaking into her room now look where it had landed her.
"Urghh I hate hospitals!" she voiced out.
" At least you get to see the handsome doctor again." Speaking of the doctor, Isa honestly didn't want to see him after the conversation they had the previous night. She didn't know how she would face him or even talk to him. She just prayed he wouldn't be the one to attend to her or he wouldn't even be on duty.
Like God heard her prayers, she was taken to a different hospital. She felt relieved and at the same time wondered why she was brought here instead of the other hospital. Claire told her it was Scott who requested she is brought to this hospital. It was already the early hours of the morning and the doctor had told her they would have to undergo minor surgery on her. Just kill me already, Isa said to herself.
Scott needed a good rest after the shenanigans Isabel had displayed out there. Who gave her such an idea? That girl was something else, she feared nothing even losing her life. The doctor told him she needed minor surgery because she had some broken bones. He sent her to a different hospital, he couldn't afford her to be around that doctor. He didn't understand this feeling that was gradually creeping into him about her but whatever it was was nothing. After they'd taken Isa to the hospital, he tried to take a rest but couldn't as he tossed and turned on the bed worried about Khloe. Where the hell was she? He looked at the time and it was already 6 am and she wasn't back. He woke up and grabbed his keys ready to go in search of her but she appeared through the door and met him face-to-face on the staircase.
" Hey, babe! You're back?" she said as she was surprised to see him.
" Where were you?" he asked her in a serious tone.
"I went out with the girls," she said as she walked up to him and tried to kiss him. She reeked of alcohol and he dodged her kiss.
" I tried calling you time and time again but you weren't picking up. Why?" he asked him.
" Oh there was so much noise in the club I couldn't pick," she said.
" so you saw my calls and ignored them?" he asked.
" Aww babe don't be such a girl, I was fine." she was still clearly tipsy.
" It's not a matter of being fine Khloe, do you know how worried I was? The least you could do was pick up the call and assure me you were alright and you left my house to be turned into a mad club by those bunch of criminals. " he was getting tired, he hadn't even slept properly.
" Urghh you complain about everything, I was tired of being in the house all day tending to that peasant girl and the one time I decide to have fun, you come in with your tantrums, please I'm going to rest." she walked past him and went upstairs and Scott stood there in disbelief. From one trouble to another he said to himself as he went back upstairs to rest properly.
Isa was getting ready for her surgery as Claire and she talked.
" Why did Mr Monster send you to this hospital?" Claire asked her.
" How am I supposed to know miss nosy?" she asked.
"Do you think he's still angry about the other day when Dr Curt dropped you off?" Claire asked.
" I don't know and I don't care to know," she said.
" You're so ignorant!" Claire sighed.
" Ignorant about what?"
" Nothing! Do you want to eat something?" she asked and Isa gave her a side-eye.
" I'm going in for surgery I'm not supposed to eat anything toad head." Isa reminded her.
" Oh that's true." the doctor came in and told her it was time as they wheeled her to the theatre.
Scott was sitting in his office sipping his coffee and doing some work on his laptop after calling the repairer to come to fix the broken pipe. He was concerned about Isa, the doctor had told him they'd taken her for surgery and it had been an hour since he heard anything from them. He couldn't concentrate as he worried about her. Why was he so concerned about her anyway? She flouted his order and this was the consequence she was reaping. Just when he was already about to call to know the status of things, the doctor rang his phone letting him know the operation was successful. A wave of relief washed over him as he felt happy knowing she was okay. Khloe on the other hand was still knocked out from last night's party as she woke up with a pounding head. She couldn't move much as she lay in bed with a splitting headache. Scott was nowhere to be found and she couldn't go about yelling as it would only aggravate the situation. She turned around looking for her cell phone to call Scott to her aid but lucky for her, he'd kept a bottle of Tylenol and a glass of water on the nightstand. Scott was the sweetest, he was exactly the kind of man she needed. Someone who would take care of her and look after her even though he appeared tough on the outside, he was a softie on the inside. She swallowed the pills and went back to bed hoping she'd feel better when she woke up.
Isa woke up from the effect of the anaesthesia and she wasn't herself. She kept mumbling words that were unclear to Claire. After some time, she fell asleep and woke up, this time fully recovered from the anaesthesia. She was so hungry as her stomach growled. They asked the doctor if she could eat and she accepted so Claire left her to get some food. Isa hated hospitals, the smell and drugs just irritated her and she couldn't wait to go back home. She hadn't seen Mrs Macy ever since she left home and figured out maybe she'd stayed back to take care of the house. She was still in pain and the doctor said she would be coming to give her pain medication soon so she had to eat. While waiting for Claire, she pulled out her phone and to her greatest dismay, she saw a message from Curt. It had been two days since they'd last spoken and she opened his text, it read ' Sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable last night
