I spent most of the time that I was staying in the hospital just sitting by the window in my room staring out at the people and cars passing by the building.

Everytime someone came to visit it would be silent between me and them. If they said something to me I would ignore it because I really didn't want to talk to anyone.

The only people who hadn't visited me were Jackson and Maddi. Maddi and I weren't really close so it was understandable why she wouldn't visit me but it was odd that Jackson hadn't come to visit me seeing as he's my best friend.

Callie had come by a few times during the day and brought me some almond sugar cookies knowing that they were my favorite. I hadn't bothered to eat them because I was too wrapped up in my own thoughts.

Physical therapy was a pain in the ass. It was pointless I wouldn't be able to do anything with my legs so why even do physical therapy.

I was interrupted from my thoughts when I heard a knock at the door. I turned my wheelchair around to see who it was.

"Hey buddy" it was my older brother Slater "miss me?"

Slater was the last Winston still in new York he had no reason to stay but he stayed anyways.

I looked at him and turned my wheelchair back towards the window.

"Gee I thought you'd be more excited to see me than this" he laughed a little

I stayed silent.

"Come on man I know your frustrated and upset but you gotta try talking to people more. Where's the rece I know? The guy who would be joking around one second then pissed at something the next. Where is he?" He said pulling one of the chairs over by me and sitting down.

"Why should I be joking around when I've lost a big part of my life" I said quietly

"What do you mean?"

"I can't play hockey anymore! I can't go to the rink with Flora and Jackson like before and just goof around! It's gone!" I yelled

"Yeah I get it"

"Don't say you get it! You don't! You're not in my position, so how about you just go fuck off and leave me alone!"

He looked at me stunned. He slowly got up and left the room. I didn't mean to get upset at him it just came out.

I sighed and turned back towards the window. It was raining the sound of the rain hitting the glass was soothing.

Jayna's POV

Callie had found out that Rece would be able to come home soon. Flora and I helped out with getting stuff to welcome him home. Jackson got him a Calvin and Hobbes book seeing as he loves Calvin and Hobbes.

Flora and I bought him a few hoodies. And the others mostly got him snacks and stuff.

Slater had come home and he looked a little sad.

"Hey slater you okay? What happened?" I asked

"Boy he's not doing to well. He's really upset about it and lashed out on me." He said

"Well at least he actually said something to you" I said

"I guess that's one way to look at it" he said "it's weird to see him like this"

"It sure is but we just gotta be understanding with him he's upset and frustrated and stuck in his own head we just gotta help him through it"

Slater nodded and sat on the couch.
