Chapter 9

The next two days in the hospital were just a bunch of shots and tests. My hair was falling out from the medicine they gave me but luckily I wasn't fully bald. The doctors said it would grow back in no time since I was recovering rapidly.

Soon my mom came to pick me up and they put me in a wheel-chair and wheeled me over to the car. I was perfectly fine to walk but they insisted on the wheelchair and I wasn't in the mood for anymore arguments.

On the way home my mom wouldn't stop asking me if I was feeling okay and it was getting annoying. "I'm fine mom." I say rolling my eyes for the millionth time. I knew she was only doing this cause she loved and cared for me but it got annoying.

We walked into my home and It felt so different even though nothing has changed. I've been in the hospital for so long and all I want to do is rest in the comfort of my own bed. My mom orders some pizza and I tell her I'm going to my room to rest till the pizza comes.

I walk into my room and it feels so weird being in my room for the first time in days. I crawl into my bed and sink under the covers. I was about to fall into a deep sleep when there's on a knock on my door. "Sweetie can I come in?" My mom says. "Yes." I reply sleepily. She walks in followed by two boxes of pizza.

She opens the boxes and we sit on the ground to eat them together. I take a bite of the cheese and realize how good it is to have some real food instead of the hospital junk they fed me. I get two more slices and finally decide to stop eating. "So I called the school and they agreed to give you as many days as you need off from school." She said looking at me. I nodded looking out the window. I wondered if anyone knew about what happened.

"So do you know when your comfortable going back?" She asks. Today was Sunday and I really didn't know when I was going to go back to school. "I think I can go back next Monday." I say making up my mind. I think one week was enough time for my hair to grow to my lower shoulders. My hair grew super fast and I had to get it trimmed all the time back when it was long. My mom nodded and soon left to let me rest.
I cuddle into my warm covers and soon fall into a peaceful, needed sleep.

The week goes by pretty fast. It was mainly made up of me staying in bed and Nash coming over every day after he gets home from school. He always reminds me of how much he loves me but sometimes I think maybe he did kiss her back. But then I change my mind and know that Nash would never do anything like that to me.

It was Sunday evening and I had to go back to school the next morning. I took a shower and brushed my blonde hair that was now shoulder length. I went downstairs in my pajamas and joined my mom and brother for dinner. We just ordered some Chinese and watched a movie.

After the movie I went to my room and brushed my teeth and snuggled in my covers. I go on my phone and check Instagram to see they were using hashtags for me. Hashtags such as #welcomebackMakayla, #feelbettermakayla and a lot of other ones. To be honest I thought everyone would act as if I were crazy when I got back. I soon fell into a peaceful sleep knowing that I was cared for.
