"Can you get me the Deluxe Chicken Sandwich meal please?" Brielle asked propping her ankle up on the pillows she had laid out.

The events three weeks ago left Brielle with a broken femur and a broken ankle.

Doctors told her the recovery time could take anywhere from six weeks to twelve months and that was just for the broken femur.

As for the ankle, that recovery will take six to ten weeks.

But on her journey to recovery she's been taking it one day at a time.

Surrounded with support and nurture.

"Yea I gotchu mama. You want a lemonade or a Powerade this time?" Josiah asked as he pulled into the
Chick-fil-a drive thru.

Josiahs been a tremendous help in her recovery, buying her food or cooking for her, taking her to refill her prescription, and overall giving her companionship.

Angel and Mariah couldn't be there with her all the time so he was.

Neither one of them had a problem with it though.

He felt like this was his job and she liked the company.

"Umm... Powerade please and light ice ok?" Brielle said looking at her phone which showed Josiah looking down at her since he had sat the phone on his lap.

"I know. I gotchu." Josiah said. "Ok thank you. See you when you get here." Brielle said waving him goodbye.

"Ight mama. See you when I get there." Josiah said chuckling lightly.

"Why was this yo first time eating today Brielle?" Josiah sighed as he waited for an answer.

"I was too lazy to get up and fix me something." She said softly. "Ok where was Angel and Mariah?" He asked raising his eyebrow. He really didn't get why she was here all day without anything to eat.

"Mariah's with your brother and Angel's at work." She said dipping her waffle fry into the Cfa sauce.

"Ok man. Next time just call me. Don't be scared to call me when you need me. I don't want you in here starving to death." He said seriously.

"I won't starve to death Siah and I'm sorry. I swear I'll call next time." She said leading them into a comfortable silence.

"I think you should stay with me a few days out the week. I don't want you here alone. Angel and Mariah can't always be here so I want you to stay with me so I can help you." He said in all seriousness after awhile of sitting there in his thoughts.

Brielle didn't know this but Josiah still felt extremely guilty for what happened to her. No matter how many times she explained to him in the hospital it was an accident and she didn't blame him it didn't make him feel any better. So he was going to kiss the ground she walked on during her slow recovery.

"Ok but are you sure that's what you want? I don't want to be a burden I'm fine here by myself, it's only for a couple hours out of the day."

Brielle was putting up the best front she could. She hated being here alone for hours at a time, barely being able to move with no one to talk to. So in reality she wanted to shout when he proposed she stay with him but she didn't want to seem desperate.

"Positive. Now finish yo food and I'm finna go back yo bag."

"Ok Siah." She said smiling as he walked away.
