❀Remembering You❀

Molly's POV:

I was scrolling through different shows and movies on Netflix, sighing softly to myself. There's nothing interesting that I want to watch and I'm quite bored.. Jon was busy taking his dog, Zora to the vet so that left me to be by myself. Whitley, the other dog, is here as well, but he's been asleep most of the afternoon.

Claudia is out of town with her step-sister so that's also out of the equation. This is so annoying! I know I have a long way to go with my recovery process. I barely can make it to the bathroom without peeing on myself.. It's TMI, yes, but it's so frustrating! My motor skills are alright, but my physical therapist said it could be better. And while that doesn't discourage me, it does annoy me due to the fact that I hate having to rely on people to help take care of me. Doctors? Yeah, it's their job to do that, but my own two friends? That isn't their job or responsibility. They're not getting paid for helping me. I feel like a total burden...

The thoughts that were racing in my mind soon brought tears to my eyes, loud sobs soon came to me almost immediately, which did wake up Whitley sadly. On a brighter note, he did come up on my bed and laid down beside me, which made me feel kind of special considering a dog that isn't even mine is trying to comfort me. Zora is a sweet little pup, but Whitley has been by my side the moment I 'moved' in with Jon. Is it silly to say that I'm really attached to the dog more than my own friend?

Before I could even try to wipe my tears and snot away or calm down, the front door had unlocked and the sound of another dog's paws pitter and pattering could be heard. Oh, God! Jon and Zora are home! I have got to calm down with the crying- that'll worry him even more and he won't ever leave the house then.

I wiped away the mess on my face quickly and right after I was finished, Jon and his black Labrador came into my room and his smile soon dropped.

"Molly, you okay? Your face is super red! Is it hot in here or something? Shit, I'll go turn down the air a bit lower if you need me to," He sputtered out anxiously.

"What? No, it feels fine in here... I just feel like a total burden, Jon. It's not fair to you or Claudia to take care of me; it makes me feel so... Disgusting. I can barely go to the bathroom without help! I feel so useless. Not to mention, everyday I wake up and see my reflection in the mirror, it just grosses me out. My scars are something I'm so insecure about," I admitted softly, glancing down at the chocolate Lab that was laying in my lap.

He gasped in response and then took a seat beside me and Whitley on the queen-size bed. His hand soon began rubbing on my back in a comforting manner, which did make me feel a little bit more calm than before.

"Molls, you are more than that scar. You are more worth it than you realize. That scar is beautiful and so are you. My sweet girl, you are a survivor. It may not make sense right now, but everything will fall into place like it should. I'm beyond grateful you're alive and healthy. You're the center of my whole world, Mo. Of course I'm goin' to take care of you- you're not a burden because you need extra help," Jon muttered to me, soon stroking my hair gently with his right hand.

This seems so... Weird... I feel like I might be in love with him, but it's so odd to say I'm in love with this guy who was my best friend before my accident. Was he always this loving and affectionate beforehand? I love how he makes me feel; he makes me feel like I'm the only girl in the world. It's silly, but it's the only way to explain the unknown feeling.

"I- thank you, Jon.. That means a lot; no one's ever cared this much about me except for my mother," I mentioned softly and then glanced into Jon's eyes. "Can I tell you something...?"

He hesitantly nodded and then pursed his lips together before uttering a soft 'yeah' in response.

I rested my head on his shoulder and smiled, "I think I love you, Jon... You have been by my side this whole time from when I was in a coma to now, and regarding what you've told me, you were always by my side in the past before the accident.. If you don't feel the same, it's totally fine- I just needed to get that off of my-"
