“So you’re here about contraception?”

The thin door echoed her words into the waiting room.

“Yes, I want the injection I’ve got it here from the chemist.”

The girl pulled out a small white box from her pocket, inside was her jab.

“I’m new you know, I’ve never done this before, does it go in your leg? Or arm? Or buttock?”

The girl, so young, grew more nervous and unsettled; injections weren’t ‘her thing’.

“Where are the instructions, have you read them? You probably should.”

“Yes, flicked through them earlier.”

The room seemed to have grown in the time poor Lauren had been in there.

“Right pop yourself on the bed; you know you have to use another type of contraception for the next few weeks; like condoms, which you should be using anyway.”

“Ok, I’ll do that.”

She jumped off the bed, and left with an aching right buttock.
