I've Missed you, Love.

Chapter 4

"How are you feeling today Y/N?" the doctor stood in the doorway looking at me. "I feel really good. I don't have any pain. I still can't remember anything though."

I stood up out of the hospital bed and the doctor walked towards me. "I'm just going to touch you where your incision was and you tell me if it hurts."

She lifted my hospital gown and placed her fingers on my ribs. She placed 2 fingers where the cut was and pressed into it "That hurts a little bit."

She removed her hand from my ribs and stepped back. "Well that's good, pain is normal. I'll send you home with some pain meds you take every 8 hours I'll call your friend and let him know you're ready to go home."

She walked towards the doorway but she stopped for a moment turning back to me. "We have some spare clothes for you. I will have a nurse bring them to you shortly."

I nodded my head and she left. I sat on the edge of the bed and sighed. The pain wasn't that bad anymore, of course, it was sore.

A nurse walked in moments later holding a pile of clothes. She placed them on the bed beside me and walked away.

I grabbed them and walked to the bathroom. Taking off the hospital gown and throwing it on the floor.

I stared at myself in the mirror. Tracing the wound with my fingers. I guess when Jamie had boot fucked me it destroyed my organs. I turned to the side to see all of my ribs bruised.

I got the clothes on and waited in the hospital room. The doctor came back in "he's here for you now."

I followed her out of the room and we walked down the hallway. William was standing firmly in the waiting room with his hands in his pant pockets.

He caught a glimpse of me and immediately started walking towards me. He took my hand into his and led me towards the prescription lady.

"It'll just be a moment." the lady went and started rummaging around in the back area.

I noticed in the corner of my eye William was looking down at me. "What?" I asked looking over at him.

"Nothing I was just admiring you." he smiled.

I felt my face beat red.

--

"Right then. My house or yours?" William asked getting into the car.

I buckled myself in hissing at the pain the seatbelt caused me. "I'm not sure. I should probably go and see my dad first."

William nodded and put the keys into the ignition.

We were driving for a moment in silence. "How did that doctor know your phone number?" I turned to him.

"I put myself as your emergency contact when I checked you into the hospital." he gripped the steering wheel tighter.

I looked out my window watching as the trees passed us. "Move in with me." William blurted out.

"What?" I turned to him. He smiled replying "Y/N I want you to live with me. I want to keep you safe all the time. I don't know what I'll do if anything happened to you."

His hands held the wheel tightly. His knuckles turned white from how tight he held it. "Well. If you insist, we still need to talk to my father. He probably knows nothing."

--

We slowly pulled into my dad's driveway his car was there I could see him sitting in his chair through the front window. I unbuckled myself and grabbed the car handle. William rushed around to my side and helped me out of the car.

We walked to the door and I hesitantly knocked. I sighed hearing my dad run to the door. "Y/N what are you-"

He paused for a moment seeing William standing behind me. "William? Is that you?"

My dad stepped out of the doorway and stared at him. "Yes hello, Henry. I forgot to mention I was back dear friend."

My dad practically jumped onto William hugging him. William hesitated but hugged him back, I could hear William's spine crack from how hard dad was squeezing him. "It's been forever. Where have you been? And Y/N what on God's earth are you wearing?"

"Dad, it's a lot to explain can we come in?" my dad smiled pushing us into the house. William and I sat down on the couch beside one another and dad sat down on his chair.

"Can someone please explain something?" my dad was sitting on the edge of his chair in anticipation.

William smiled opening his mouth to speak. "Dad there was an accident, and William brought me to the hospital. I have some fractured ribs but I'm alright."

"Jesus Christ- I can't even with you. Where is Jamie? William why are you here? Where did you go?" my dad's face became red.

"Henry calm yourself before you have a stroke," William spoke lightly. "I had to leave for a while because I had some... Family stuff in the state over."

I scoffed pinching the bridge of my nose. "I don't know where Jamie is. He left with Sophie in the middle of the night and I haven't seen him since."

I shrugged. Fuck I hated lying to my dad, made me feel like the worst person on the planet. My dad relaxed in his chair leaning his head on the back of it. "Well, that answers all of my questions I guess."

He turned to look at me and William. "What's the plan for the two of you?"

William placed his hand on my thigh. "Y/N will be m-" I cut William off. "Haha, we aren't sure yet dad. Why what's the rush?"

William pinched my leg. "Ow fuck." I whispered. My dad sighed. "The two of you need to get your act together."

I looked at my dad with confusion. "What's that supposed to mean?" he looked directly at me with a plain look on his face. "I want grandkids."

I was dumbfounded. I saw William's jaw drop as did mine. "Jesus christ dad." I huffed. "Now Henry that is very uncalled for."

My dad smirked at us. "I'm just joking you two are crazy." he laughed. I felt my face beat red. My dad got up and walked towards the kitchen. William looked over at me and mouth the words 'tell him'

I flexed my jaw and widened my eyes at him. My dad came and sat back down. "Well dad we atta get going I got to clean my house I assume." looking over at William with a stern look on my face.

William stood up and smirked at me before looking back at my father. "Y/N and I are moving in together."

You fucking idiot.

My dad stood up from his chair turning to look at me. "Is this true Y/N?" I clutched the doorknob looking over at William. He was smiling uncontrollably almost as if he wanted to laugh at me. "Yeah, dad it is."

My dad approached me and hugged me. "Remember I have fractured ribs please..."

My dad backed off of me. "Sorry Y/N I forgot. I'm so happy for you two. Get going!"

He grabbed William's arm dragged him to the doorway beside me and shoved me out the door alongside William.

He closed the door behind us, I looked up at William. "You're an asshole, William."

I walked down the brick part to William's car and got in. Putting on the seat belt and looking away from him. "You weren't even going to tell him, love. So what's the big issue if I did?" he laughed.

I turned to William who was still smiling. "It's not a joke William. Dad has some sick fantasy of us being together. I don't need to feed into it."

His smile faded as he turned to me. "Y/N this has nothing to do with your dead mother's wishes. I'm sorry but I do not give a shit what she wanted. I love you that's the end of the story."

He turned back and started the car. Pulling out the driveway.

Did he really just say I love you?
