the last summer | conrad fisher

recovery

i spent the past week laying in a hospital bed and eating their food which wasn't the nicest thing i've ever ate. i'm just finally glad to be going home, even though my nurse katie frequently came in to sit and speak with me for a while made my stay here a little bit easier but it was still utterly depressing.

"i'm going to miss my favourite girl being here" katie said laughing entering the room.

"i'm going to miss you too kate" i laugh packing my stuff in a bag.

i have made the others go home for the past two days because they kept babying me and it just made me want to yell at them. i know there just worried but i didn't need the smothering.

"you know i would love a visit sometime, just not by an injury this time" she said helping me pack

"i'll definitely come and visit, your the only person that doesn't smother me" i say closing my bag looking at her

"where's your mom" she says handing me my bag

"outside" i sigh "you know even though this place makes me want to rip my hair out, i'm going to miss your daily visits" i smile

"you know your my most favourite patient i've ever had, don't tell anyone though they'll kill me" she laughs giving me a hug

i pull back and smile at the lady i had grew a bond with. "thank you kate, seriously" i give a half smile and we walk towards the door

"it is no problem at all evie"

"here get in this" she said pulling a wheelchair out

"is that really necessary" i roll my eyes "yes evie you still have to take things slow, that means walking for the next week or two." she said pushing me in the chair "this is unbelievable" i scoff sitting in the chair as she pushes me down to the parking lot

"i mean it evie, take things slow and steady for a while" she says helping me up as my mom gets out the car

"yes yes i heard you the first time, slow and steady, got it" i say smiling giving her one last hug

"i'll see you around yeah" i smile "of course" she smiles and waves me off

me and my mom are driving back home. i never told anyone but being in a car brings back the memories from the accident. ones that had slowly been coming back to me in my stay at the hospital.

"you want me to stop for some ice cream" my mom asks with a smile

"yeah why not, but i'm not getting out" i say laughing "that's okay, i'll jump out and get them" she smiles

she parked up the car and jumped out to get the ice cream. my phone started ringing and i saw ivys name.

i made conrad call her for me and explain it all once it happened. she's called me everyday since and i can't help but miss the girl

"hey ev, i heard your finally getting out of the 'hell hole' today" she said laughing "yeah i got out like 20 minutes ago me and mom just stopped for some ice cream" i laugh "take it slow though, don't push yourself" she said worriedly "god you sound like kate, seriously i'll be fine" i roll my eyes "i know, i just don't want you to like nearly die again you know" i could hear the sadness in her voice "i know im sorry ivy, but i promise you im okay" i sigh "good well i've got it go i'm sorry ev, but keep my updated yeah" she said "yeah i will, i love you" i say "i love you too ev" and with that she hung up.

my mom pulled open the car door with two tubs of ice cream in her hand with spoons in the pots. "i got you a mint choc chip" she said handing it to me "my favourite" i smile eating it instantly

we pulled up to the house and my mom came and helped me out. i hate having people helping me but i have to take things slow and carefully. she held me close as i walked slowly to the front door taking it slow up the steps.

she opened the door and we walked though heading to the kitchen "We're back!" my mom yelled walking into the kitchen sitting me down

"evie!" steven said running up to me giving me a hug "hey stevie" i smile hugging him back "i leave for a week and come back to hear about this" he said hugging me tighter

"i'm okay steven" i laugh pulling away "don't scare me like that" he pushed my shoulder a little which made me let out a little giggle.

"evie you back!" belly said coming in the room
"yeah how have you been" i smile "you know without me and all" i say gloating myself "bored" she said sitting next to me "hey! you had me" jeremiah said clearly offended "yeah well your not evie" she said pushing him with a playful smile. "for real though i missed you" jere said kissing my head putting his arms around my shoulders "stop being a melt" i say shuving him.

"you finally got let out" conrad said laughing.

me and him have gotten a lot better, i've missed him but he was one of the people to smother me the most. i know it's out of love but it really got on my nerves. although one of his hugs would do me so good right now

"yeah home sweet home" i smile looking up.
he comes found places his arms over my shoulder digging his head in my neck

"i love you" he whispered in my ear. i turn to look at him and smile a little "i love you more" i whisper back.

we all spent the whole day watching films as i couldn't do that much for another week except lay down or sit down.

"i'm tired" i say yawning leaning on conrad's chest. "you wanna head to bed" he says holding me "yes please" i say sitting up "goodnight guys" i say looking at the others "goodnight sis" my brother said giving me a kiss on the head "goodnight hon" my mom said pulling me into a hug "night ev" jere steven and belly say at the same time "goodnight sweetie" laurel said smiling

conrad helped me up the stairs taking our time and put me into my bed.

"con" i said looking up at him "yeah" "stay with me, i don't want to be alone" i give him a half smile "of course, i'll get changed then come back" he smiled "and while your at it, bring me one of your hoodies" i give him a cheeky smile and get myself comfortable.

over the past week i realised just how much everyone cared. i knew they cared but it seemed so much more. i guess nearly dying opens your eyes to a-lot of things. things you don't think you'll ever notice. but i've realised just how much i love this boy. to the point i don't know what i would do without him. everything in my body screams at me telling me that i'm completely and utterly in love with him. that everything about him makes me happy. how i want to be the one to have his kids and give him everything he wants. i love him more than anything else in this world.

"i know how much you love this one so i brought it for you" he said holding out his hoodie which brought me out of my thoughts. i looked up at him smiling taking it from him. i leant up but it still hurt so i let out a little groan. "it's okay" he said helping me out it on and laying me back down but laying next to me this time.

"i love you conrad fisher" i said closing my eyes "i love you too evie jacobs" he said pulling me close kissing my forehead.
