❀Remembering You❀

Molly's POV:

My knee has been killing me lately. Had I not let my independence get the best of me, I wouldn't have gotten injured. My ankle is better, but my knee still has a long road to recovery. Ironically enough, my brain has a long road to recovery, also.

And obviously, Jon has been taking such good care of me, it's almost sickening! His album is coming out in less than a month and he's been busy doing shows all around the U.S. all the while checking in on me every change he gets. Lord, how does he do it? Because I know that it has to be stressful doing back-to-back concerts nightly then having to come home to me to make sure I haven't gone off the deep end is hectic. Sometimes I wish he'd take time for himself and not constantly worry so damn much.

Fortunately for Jon, he had a weekend off from touring and the two of us were chilling on the couch in the living room, watching TV. The show we were watching? None other than my favorite, Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Even though he won't admit it, he seems to be really, really into the show. Which is a little funny considering he's more into the humor of The Office. Or maybe he's just sucking it up for the sake of me.

He's been making sure there's extra ice packs in the freezer so that I can put it on my knee, which is a really sweet gesture. Also, Claudia should be back from her trip by now and I couldn't be more excited to see my bestie! It feels like it's been ages since the last time we saw each other face-to-face. While living at Jon's house and enjoying he and the dogs' company, it's nice to hang out with someone other than those 3 for once; no offense to him or the dogs, haha.

My phone buzzed and speak of the dang devil! It was Claudia texting me, which brought a huge smile to my face. Nothing beats girl talk with your BFF. During this healing journey with my brain, I've slowly and surely regained quite a bit of my memory back. It still isn't all the way there and there's still progress to be made, but I'm doing exceptionally well, per what my therapists and doctors say.

I texted her back quickly, asking if she wanted to come over to Jon's house since that's where I've been 'living' the past couple of months. It's actually been such an honor to be in his lovely home. Though, it's really big for one person, but then again, he does have two Labrador retrievers and they are a big dog breed. Whenever I get better and move out, I'd love to get my own dog! My dream dog is a beagle, but adopting one from
a shelter would be way sweeter!

I poked Jon's shoulder to get his attention, smiling softly, "Umm, is it okay if Claudia comes over? I kinda asked her to come over and I forgot this is your house- I'm so sorry if you don't want her over."

"Are you kidding, Molly? I'd love for her to come over! It's been a while since all three of us hung out and had fun. Tell her she's always welcome at casa-de-Langston!" Jon mentioned excitedly. "If you won't tell her, I will!"

A giggle surpassed my lips and I shook my head in response, "Okay, okay! I'm telling her that right now. Jeez, you're so demanding."

"Hey, you make me demanding. You're as stubborn as a mule, so I got to get through to you somehow," He said teasingly.

My jaw dropped at his words, making me soon bust out into giggles. Why is he driving me so crazy over the smallest of things?! The teasing, the forehead and cheek kisses, the cuddles, all of it has my mind in shambles. Not like it isn't already, but still.. We admitted we both loved each other, but nothing else has been brought up regarding that conversation- maybe it was a mistake telling him I loved him. Just because he feels the same way doesn't necessarily mean anything.

"Well, lucky for you, she's on her way now. She's grabbing pizza for us- remember when I injured my knee and ankle trying to get board games that night? We never had got the pizza!" I remarked, laughing softly. "This time, no injuries will ruin our pizza and game night."
