What If: Love in a College Town.

Things Will Get Better

1 week later

It was September 30th I've been in the ICU for a week now. I was starting to become septic. The boys were mad. But Kelly did leave in the middle of the week to go see them and to spend time with them. I've had a ton of visitors, Jordan, Kris and Til were all able to come because they are over 13. The boys didn't know though. All the guys have come, jase, Thomas and Mike. Along with Brittany,Lauren and Carrie. A few other friends have come by off and on.

Kelly was back in class in the mornings, and then doing afternoon classes online because that's when the doctors round. She managed to talk to the dean and she is only going to do rotations in Peds and that starts in the spring. By her grades already residency is probably not even a thing for her and I'm so proud of her.

We sent out change the date cards. Everyone was so understanding. Our honeymoon is now going to be the end of May to the second week of June, then a week of vacationing with the boys before I go back on tour. I had the CMAs in November and I am so hoping I'll be able to go. It was going on 1 in the afternoon Kelly would be getting here anytime.  I laid there waiting for her day in and day out. I hate her leaving. But I had people visiting throughout the day in between therapy's.

She walked in around 115. She looked stressed. She came over and kissed me.

"How was class?" I asked her.

"It was fine. How are you feeling?" She asked feeing my head. She then lifted my shirt to look at my dressings. I grabbed her hand and made her sit next to me.

"Better than you are here." I said kissing her again. Ever since I got this infection she has been distant. We give each other a quick kiss and then that's it.

"Good I'm glad. Hey I think as soon as you move today the boys need to come in just in case." She said getting up and looking at the monitor.

"That's fine." I said.

"Oh Matthew is coming down this weekend he has a bye week. he wants to know if he can visit." She said I already knew this.

"Yeah he called me the other day. Why don't you two go to dinner or something?" I asked her.

"I don't know maybe. I am going to be leaving on Saturday some to do stuff with the boys." She said.

"Good what do you have planned?" I asked her.

"They want to go to the zoo, it's a fall festival going on." She said. "Then we need to go buy their costumes and I promised them we would decorate." She said.

"Use our American Express card for the decorations." I said.

"I can just use my debit card it's no problem." She said.

"Kells please use it, it's in my wallet wherever that is." I said confused.

"It's in my purse: I needed your insurance cards out of it..." she said.

"Perfect. Please Kells it's automatically paid out of my account every month. So you don't have to worry about it." I said.

"We will see..." she said.

"Kells are we going to be okay?" I asked her.
