My Day

Future Planing with a bang

Travis's POV:

Isaac seems tired today. It has only been three days since he woke up, and he did take the brunt of the force. He's been working hard on recovering Robert was released the day after Isaac had woken, he was fine only a broken collar bone. I broke my leg so I have to stay for two more days and do a little physical therapy when the cast comes off. Alyssa showed up everyday dragging Mia along for the ride. Eugene and Robert came yesterday they didn't spend much time here I could tell it made Eugene uncomfortable to be around Isaac in his current condition. My room is right across the hall from Isaac's but why can't I get myself out of bed all the sudden. I just can't move, I don't know why it isn't lack of motivation or a lack of the ability I have plenty of both. I just don't want ... I don't know what I want. I hear a knock on my door. I don't even look up its probably just one of the employees here bringing lunch. "you know considering how much effort it took to get here you should thank me for the amount of effort I had to put in or at least look at me" it was a familiar voice one that made my worries dissipate. "Isaac, bu-shouldn't you be asleep?" He stands in my doorway wearing a blue gown and some weird like paper pants. "I see you're admiring my wardrobe. My clothes are in the wash and Robert has yet to show up with new ones for me so until then I get to model the new hospital chic" "that doesn't answer my question" "fine I couldn't sleep I kept having nightmares that in the accident I lost you" "come here" Isaac comes and climbs into my bed with me "you can't get rid of me that easily" I felt a soft laugh "Oh laughing I missed the days when that didn't hurt and I didn't have to check stitches afterward" we chatted I tried to avoid anything that would make him laugh or cry.

Soon he was fast asleep clinging to me. I almost said "I thought you weren't the clingy twin" I love being funny but he has to control his laughter. I have to protect him, at all costs. This poor thing clinging to me is one of the few things in this world I can say I love. I love my family. I love him. I love football. I love him. I love my friends. I love him. The list could go on but every other item on the list is him. His grip tightened on me "Travis don't leave me" he mumbled. I lightly brushed his hair out of his face "not in a million years". He clung for what seamed like hours. I look up the lady who normally brought us food was standing there crying watching us. "how long have you been there?" "like five minutes, I came in right after he fell asleep. May I just say you two deserve the relationship of the decade award I have never seen anything cuter" "um, thank you" "also his brother is here he brought food and clothes for both of you" "alright thank you send him in" "he is he's standing over there" Robert is standing on the opposite side of the room. I hate when he does that he was holding a small picnic basket and a blanket.

Robert just had to have a picnic in the hospital. It was only the three of us. He brought store bought potato and Caesar salad. He also had some finger sandwiches, which weren't half bad. We didn't talk much things were a little awkward in every ones dynamic lately. Robert feels guilty, Isaac feels drained, and me, I feel concerned. What if I had lost Isaac in that accident? I don't know what I would have done. I leaned over to Isaac. He wasn't allowed to sit for long,to much strain on his diaphragm, so by now he was laying down. I kissed him. Robert stood up "nope before the spit starts swapping I am out of here" "that wasn't my intention but bye I guess" Isaac looked up at him "Bye thanks for the food and clothes" Robert walked out. "so then what was your intention with kissing me if it wasn't getting rid of my brother?" "to say that I would have missed you if I had lost you I can't stop thinking about how much I love you but then I think about how big a part of my life you are. Who else would help me train for football? who else would I get to cuddle with during scary movies? Who else would I get the privilege of carrying around when they want me to? Who else will help me study for all my classes so I can continue to play football? I can think of only one person and its the one who I'm talking to right now" "wow that is the kind of pep talk I needed and of course if I could describe the perfect relationship it would be everything you just said only in reverse. Because I love training for football with you and I love to cuddle during scary movies and I love helping you study and who wouldn't love getting carried around upon command? I love these because I can watch your eyes light up when you figure something out or seeing the passion when you train it is all just so ... exhilarating. That wasn't the right word I mean umm so umm ..." He wasn't just blushing his entire face was beet red. "Isaac I know what you mean you mean you love to see me happy just as much as I love to see you happy" "there you go Exhilarating for some reason made me feel like I was talking about sex or something" "and you have made it clear you aren't comfortable with that until after marriage. I find it Ironic that half the people in this town quote the bible against you and yet they won't follow that part but you will" "well I think they had the right Idea there I mean if you really love somebody then the sex shouldn't matter"

Isaac had fallen asleep in my bed again when three of the nurses and food people crept in. I looked up at the three of the "Yes" "we've been watching you two all day you two are the cutest thing ever" I looked at the three of them it was the lady from earlier and two new ones. "can you two please just get a reality show because your ratings would be every woman in the world" Isaac rolled over "Travis what's with all the noise he opens his eyes "why are there three women staring at us? I told you none of that until after marriage" "not even close they were just saying how cute we are" "oh? that's sweet now tell them to get out I'm tired this new medication they have me on leaves with like no energy" "you heard him ladies". The three shuffle out glumly. Isaac rolled over and cuddled up to me again. "I'm just gonna sleep here tonight with you, okay?" "yes, of course why wouldn't it?" his response was a light giggle then he was asleep.

Quotes from Isaac: "Life will get you down, always. I'm not kidding half the time that is what it seems to love most but it only knocks you down to build you back up into a stronger and better version of yourself. But that shit will knock you on your ass if you give it the chance then it will laugh at you in your face and then it will help you back. Kind of like your best friend but also the biggest asshole ever so in other words your best friend.
