CLARISSA'S POV
LATER THAT AFTERNOON THEY FINALLY SENT UP MY LUNCH AND DINNER TRAYS FOR DREW AND I TO EAT . SO I ATE WHAT I COULD SINCE I WAS STILL GROGGY FROM THE MED'S AND EVERYTHING AND JUST WANTED TO SLEEP AND REST . I TOLD DREW HE COULD GO DO WHAT HE NEEDED TO TAKE CARE OF AND COME BACK LATER IF HE WANTED TO . SINCE SOMEONE WAS ALWAYS HERE WITH ME ANYWAYS . ONE OF MY BOYS OR ONE OF THE GIRLS , OR EVEN ONE OF THEIR FATHERS OR FRIENDS WERE HERE WITH ME CONSTANTLY . IT WAS NICE TO HAVE THEM HERE BUT ALSO KIND OF ANNOYING IN ANOTHER WAY . I FELT LIKE THEY WERE BABYSITTING ME . HOWEVER IT WAS NICE TO FEEL SPECIAL FOR ONCE .
I WAS GETTING TO KNOW MY NEW CO - WORKERS AND WE ARE ALL FAST BECOMING GOOD FRIENDS ....... THEY BROUGHT MY LITTLE BOOGERS TO VISIT ME DAILY WHEN THE GIRLS CAME .
LATER IN THE WEEK
CURRENTLY BRAIN , DUANE, MARK , CHRIS, AND BUNCH OF MY OLD FRIENDS FROM THE ZOO CREW WERE IN MY ROOM WATCHING SOMETHING ON THE TV WHEN I WOKE BACK UP . MARK WAS THE FIRST TO NOTICE I WAS AWAKE . SO HE CAME OVER AND MOVED MY HAIR OUT OF MY FACE AND KISSED MY FOREHEAD AND ASKED
HOW YOU FEELING LITTLE BIT ?
MARK , I FEEL A LITTLE BETTER BUT STILL FEEL LIKE I'VE BEEN RUN OVER BY A MAC TRUCK . BUT IT'S GOOD TO SEE ALL YOU BOYS AGAIN ........... I'VE MISSED YOU ALL SOOOO MUCH . YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH ......... NOW WHERE IS MY HUG , OH WISE ONE ?
RIGHT HERE LITTLE BIT ................ HE GAVE ME A HUG MINDFUL OF MY SIDE WHERE THE WOUND WAS STILL HEALING ALL THE REST OF THE GUYS FOLLOWED SUIT AS WELL .
SO LISSA BESIDES THE OBVIOUS , WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING SINCE YOU LEFT AND COME BACK ? I MEAN WE KNEW YOU WERE BACK BUT JUST NOT HERE WORKING AT THE REHAB CENTER UNTIL THE GIRLS CONTACTED US AS YOUR SURPRISE ........ WE UNDERSTOOD SO WE KEPT AWAY SWEETIE ........ WE JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN DOING SINCE YOU CAME BACK IS ALL ........
WELL BOYS ....... I'VE BEEN WORKING AT THE REHAB CENTER AS AN ADDICTIONS SPECIALIST FOR HUMAN SERVICES AND MENTAL HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES . I ALSO BEEN WORKING OUT IN BETWEEN SO I DON'T KILL SOMETHING , OR DO SOMETHING ELSE TO GO BACK TO DARKER TIMES IN MY LIFE ID RATHER FORGET ABOUT . I'VE MET A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HELPED ME FIND WAYS OF DEALING WITH MY I . E . D . ISSUES AND EVEN THOUGH I HAVEN'T WRESTLED IN LIKE FOREVER IT SEEMS , I WAS DOING MMA AND BOXING FOR A WHILE AND WAS REALLY GOOD AT IT . THAT'S WHY I BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF JOEY SO EASILY ............
WE NOTICED THAT LISSA . SO WE ALSO NOTICED HOW YOU AND DREW ARE GETTING CLOSER AS WELL . IT'S ABOUT TIME YOUR HAPPY AGAIN LISSA . IT'S LONG OVERDUE SWEETHEART . WE ALL MISSED YOU WHEN YOU LEFT , BUT LIKE WE HAVE SAID BEFORE WE UNDERSTOOD WHY . WE LOST APART OF WHEN YOU LEFT , BUT WE ALWAYS KNEW YOU WOULD COME BACK TO US WHEN YOU WERE READY . WE ARE JUST GLAD YOUR HERE WITH US NOW SWEETHEART .
GUYS ............. I'M BACK AND I'M HERE FOR THE LONG HAUL THIS TIME . JOEY'S NOT GOING TO MAKE ME RUN ANYMORE . TO BE HONEST I'M OVER HIM COMPLETELY . ANY CHANCES HE HAD HE BLEW ALONG TIME AGO . I MAY EVENTUALLY FORGIVE HIM FOR WHAT HE DID , BUT HE WILL HAVE TO EARN MY TRUST AND RESPECT BACK . WHICH YOU ALL KNOW ISN'T EASY TO DO ONCE YOU PISS ME OFF THE WRONG WAY . AND I AM NOT ONE WHO EVER FORGETS SOMETHING LIKE THAT . I'M DOING MUCH BETTER NOW THAT I'VE GOTTEN MY LITTLE VACATION STAY HERE ...........
JUST THEN DOUG WALKED IN LOOKING AT MY CHARTS AS USUAL ........... THEN CHECKING MY IV'S AND OTHER THINGS THEN MADE THE GUYS GET OUT SO HE COULD DO HIS CHECK UP .........
NOW SWEETHEART HOW ARE YOU FEELING ? YOUR BLOOD WORK IS BACK TO NORMAL AGAIN AND YOU SEEM TO BE HEALING GOOD FOR NOW . ANY OTHER ACHES OR PAINS BESIDE OBVIOUS FROM YOUR WOUND ?
