Meant To Be

Chapter 16

The next day went by quickly. I got to see my parents, my siblings, Mary-Beth, and the boys. They were all happy to see that I was ok. Some of them even cried.

I remember seeing Mary-Beth. She had walked into the hospital room while Harry was in the bathroom. I was picking at a lose thread in the hospital blanket. I had looked up, and she was there, wide eyed.

I was so happy to see her that I nearly jumped off the bed. I would have if I didn't have the wires connected to me.

"Mary-Beth!" I had on a huge smile.

It took her some time, but she finally started to walk towards me.

"Maria?" Her voice cracked, indicating that she was about to cry.

"Maria!" She threw her arms over me and began to cry. I hugged her back and tears started falling from my eyes too. We stayed there until Harry walked in.

"Oh. Sorry. I'll leave you two alone."

"It's fine Harry," I told him.

"No. Really. I need to talk to the doctor anyway."

"Ok." He left the room and I focused my attention back on Mary-Beth.

"I've missed you so much." She looked up at me and she was still crying.

I didn't know what to say. I was asleep for months. It didn't feel that long to me though.

"I've missed you too." They were the only comforting words I could think of. We both stayed hugging for an hour or so talking about what I've missed.

......

"Are you ready?" Harry asked me. I had all my things together, ready to go back home.

"Yes." I said with a huge grin.

We walked out of the hospital, and it was cold. Luckily, Harry brought me a jacket.

The view was so different from when I was just looking out of the hospital window.

"I still can't believe I haven't been outside for months." I was still looking around, and that's when I saw the heard of paparazzi coming our way.

Harry and I both jumped in the car, and he drove away before we were swarmed.
