The Haunting of Forest Lane

Chapter Thirty Five

Lauren, her sister and her mom had gathered all of her belongings and Lauren was in a wheelchair waiting for the final discharge papers. Angelina came in with a smile on her face. 

"My favorite patient is leaving, but before you leave I have some final instructions I would like to review with you. So you're going to be restricted from stairs for a few weeks until you're back to full strength. We don't want to risk your wound opening. So if you're able to sleep on a lower level that would be ideal. You're going to have physical therapy twice a week just for 2 weeks to make sure you're back to the old you. The full healing process will take 4-6 weeks, and you will some pain around the incision site so we're giving you home medication. The stitches you were given will dissolve by themselves and try to keep the wound as dry as possible, you can shower but please don't bathe our use bubble bath or soap directly on the wound itself. You will need help walking at first so we are sending a walker home with you, it's yours to keep, you can decorate it or save it for when you're 90 years old and you need it. Other than that you're free to go. Any questions?"

She shook her head, "no, I'm good, thank you!"

Lauren left the hospital with her sister pushing her in the wheelchair to her moms car. The cool December air hit her skin, and the sunshine was the most amazing feeling after being inside for what felt like forever. 

Camden heard the news of Lauren leaving the hospital as she was moved out of the ICU. She wanted to leave so badly she was getting frustrated, she wasn't for sure if she wanted to go back to the house, but she wanted to go wherever Lauren was. She knew Cassidy would do her best to protect her but she knew they would end up getting hurt again, and she knew she couldn't go through another traumatic experience. 

Ally and Nick were walking aimlessly in a place they had no information on and they had no idea where they were. it was a cool place, almost completely dark. They were surrounded by trees and they were walking on dirt. They didn't know how to leave, but they were brought here by a demon, why and how? 

"Nick we need to get out of here."

"I know this, but I don't know how right now, but may I talk with you while I have you here?"

"What could be so important that you have to talk to me right now we need to figure out how to-"

Nick leaned down and kissed the shorter girl on the lips, he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. 

"Nick? What was that?"

"Ally, ever since I came here, I've liked you. I have feelings for you I have never felt this happy about a girl before. I was happy that you were with Troy only because I saw your eyes sparkle when you talked about him, but I know he broke up with you the other night. I heard you crying in your room, I didn't want to invade that wasn't my place. I would love to get to know you and get to be the guy that treats you right and actually lives up to promises."

Ally stood in silence for a while before she said anything, "Nick I am in complete shock right now, I never knew you liked me. I had no idea."

"I don't have to stay here every night, most nights I just want to make sure you're okay. I want to help as well but when I stay I get to see you, I wanted to spend much time as possible with you, I've heard how Troy treats you and how he doesn't really believe in anything paranormal but I do, and I want to be the guy who treats you with respect and takes care of you."

"I mean I won't lie I've liked you too, I just never knew you felt the same and then when Troy broke up with me I felt relief but I was also upset because he's never going to know the truth, I never lied about anything."

Nick noticed how upset she looked, and he didn't wanna overstep again, he gently embraced her into his arms, "Well with me you don't have to make me believe anything, I'm experiencing it with you first hand, and I will get us out of here."
