Chapter 24 ~ Life Gets Better Eventually

*I'm really sorry that the other chapter was kinda all over the place, but hopefully this one will be better? I don't know! Sorry!!!*

LEONA'S POV
----------------------

I don't remember much. My head was spinning. I tried so hard to explain what was going on to Dan and Phil, but I'm not sure if they knew what the heck I was talking about.

I hoped I wouldn't be sent back to rehab. I had only just got out, and I didn't want to return any time soon.

My eyes flickered open and I was exposed to that same bright white light.

A hospital room.

I can't tell you how sick I am of those stupid white curtains and the stupid gown that people wear when you're a patient.

I can't wait to be out of here.

I lifted my head to look around and Phil was fast asleep with his head on the side of my bed. I left him alone to sleep because he probably hasn't slept much.

Dan came in a few moments later carrying two coffee cups.

"Didn't expect you to be awake," Dan laughed.

"Neither did I," I smiled.

"Someone's talkative," Dan joked.

"Ha- funny one," I rolled my eyes at him.

"How you feeling?" He asked, concerned.

"I'm actually feeling okay. Like a whole weight has been lifted off my chest actually. It's a great feeling." I laughed, patting my chest whilst in mid sentence.

"It helps to talk. I told you so. I have some good news though!" Dan smiled, sitting on the chair beside Phil.

"Your father was found, and so was your brother. They have both been sent to prison, and you will not have to go to court so don't worry, also Rosie is in the bathroom so she will be back soon and I have invited George over for later," Dan smiled.

"Thankyou, that makes me feel so happy Dan," I smiled back, genuinely.

Phil fluttered his eyelids, and he raised his head, looking at Dan and rubbing his face into his shoulder.

"Tired?" He giggled, kissing Phil's forehead.

He nodded, not bothered to speak.

"Good morning sleepyhead," I grinned, and Phil looked up shocked that I was talking to him.

"Good morning chatty," he replied.

"What's with all the comments? Everyone's bullying me today!" I pouted, throwing my arms up in the air.

We giggled at each other, and a small body came crashing through the door.

"I have let out all my toxic things - anyways....-" Rosie said.

"LEONAAAA!!" She shouted, running up towards me and sitting on my bed, cradling my body.

"Yes, I'm awake. Don't worry Rosie. I'm not going anywhere," I smiled, nuzzling my head into her chest.

She stroked my hair softly and whispered sweet nothings to me.

"Okay love birds, if Leona can sign here, then she is free to leave in about an hour. She just needs to get changed. Nothing too damaged. You had a concussion from the hit Leona but you're okay now, and there may be bruises, but we have stitched up your wounds and you should be back to your old self in about 3 weeks, but you will have to come for check ups and therapy sessions," the doctor said, walking in unnoticed.
