Alex’s POV

It has been two days since Ryan has been hospitalized. Today the doctor gave the green card for taking him home. He was asked to take lots of rest for his ribs to heal. Dom was helping Ryan change while I packed his clothes and other things. I heard the bathroom door open and turned to see Ryan walking out slowly with Dom behind him as a support. “Ready to go home?” I asked him when he reached me.

He nodded and smiled at me. “Here sit on this.” I moved the wheel chair towards Ryan. Dom helped Ryan on the wheelchair. Ryan and Dom have bonded a lot these few days. At first Ryan was a little anxious towards Dom but not anymore. He trusts Dom very much and watching them interact is my new favourite thing now.

We reached the lobby and went towards my car. I had already signed the discharge paper and paid the bill earlier. I helped Ryan in the backseat and Dom put the stuff in the trunk. Soon we were on our way to home. I looked in the rear view mirror and saw Ryan looking out the window amazed. I turned my gaze back to the front with a soft smile. I felt the gaze of someone beside me and turned towards him. I saw that he was still looking at me in daze. I turned back to the road but asked, “What?” He cleared his throat as if to snap him out. “Nothing.” I just smirked at his nervous look.

I looked back at Ryan and asked him, “Hey buddy. We are going to take takeout  for dinner what do you want to get?” Ryan looked at me with confused face. He shrugged his shoulders. “What about pizza?” I asked. He looked at me and just nodded. I guess he is shy right now. Well the pizza place it is. It was just around the next block. As I turned into the drive thru Dom’s dinged indicating he got a message. I ordered our pizzas including Dom’s and waited for our turn. I looked at Ryan once more and noticed him dozing home. Must be the meds.

“Hey Alex. Can you drop me home. My mom has took a leave from work and wants to spend time so she is asking me home.” Dom asked while rubbing his neck with a light pink cheeks. Aww he is a mommy’s boy. I looked at him and smiled, “Sure mama’s boy.” I teased a bit. He chuckled but didn’t say anything else. Soon we had our pizza and now we’re driving towards Dom’s house as he gave me the address.

Around 15 minutes later we reached his place. I looked around and saw the neighborhood. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t good either. The houses were old and run down. There were alcohol bottles everywhere. The people around looked bad. But hey who was I to judge them. I looked at Dom and he looked tensed. I looked at him with smiled when he faced me. When he saw that I wasn’t judging him his shoulders dropped in relief.

“Well I’ll see you tomorrow. Here take this pizza for you and your mom.” I said as I passed him the box. He looked at me and smiled, “Thank you for this and yeah I’ll see you tomorrow. Bye.’
