Chapter 13

Loren's phone starts ringing. Eddie reaches over and hands Loren her phone.

Loren: Mom, hi

Nora: Hi, honey how you feeling?

Loren: My body still hurts and they have me on painkillers round the clock but the doctor says i'm doing much better.

Nora: So I've heard Eddie texted me that they are talking about discharging you today.

Loren: Yeah, I miss you mom.

Nora: I miss you too. I really wanted to stay in New York longer but Max had to get back home. I was going to stay behind but Eddie wanted to stay. He was so miserable Loren I felt really bad for him.

Loren: I know.

Nora: Lo, there is something you should know though before you come home.

Loren: That Max moved into our house? Eddie told me.

Nora: I was planning on telling you before he moved in you know i usually would never take a huge step like that without making sure you were okay with it. but you were in a coma and Max and I had already discussed the possibility and i needed the company i'm really sorry honey.

Loren: Mom don't worry about it. I'm really happy for you. Max is a great guy hes much better for than Dr. Don was.

Nora: So you're okay living with your boyfriend's father.

Loren: About that Mom, Eddie asked me to.

Nora: Eddie proposed?

Max: Eddie proposed??

Loren: No mom, not yet but he asked me to move in with him.

Nora: Oh wow you scared me.

Loren: Why did that scare you, you wouldn't want me marrying Eddie?

Nora: No Loren, that's not it. I think he would make you the luckiest girl in the world, your just young and i don;t think either one of you are ready for this.

Loren: He was engaged once

Nora: And i never thought he would want to do it again. 

Loren: I don't think he plans on it so you can calm down but can i move in with him?

Nora: Haven't you already lived there for the past couple of weeks

Loren: Yeah but he wasn't there. You sure it's okay mom

Nora: If it's something you want to do, than i have no problem with it as long as it wont get in the way of you getting your high school diploma.

Loren: High school, oh my god i have finals next week mom what will i do.

Nora: Don't worry Melissa said she will help you.

Eddie: Loren, i don't mean to be rude and interrupt you but all the paper work is finished we can leave here as soon as you're ready.

Loren: Mom, i have to go, they are letting me out of the hospital now, i'll see you back home later.

Nora: Okay great, i love you Loren.

Loren: Love you too mom.

Loren hangs up her phone as the doctor comes in.

Doctor: Okay Miss Tate. two and half long weeks here and we all grew to love you, even though most of that time you spent sleeping. Your boyfriend on the other hand spent most of that time worrying about you. Secret Loren, you got yourself one of the great guys in this world and they are not found all that often. Anyway Eddie signed all the papers so you are free to go. Here are the medications you need to take. I included a list of each one and the directions for each of them. you will still have to do physical therapy for the next couple of weeks and then you will be good as new. you know you are one lucky girl and Eddie you are one lucky guy she pulled through.
