It Needs to Happen

Chapter 66

Josh POV

I was bleeding internally but they caught it. They also removed my spleen but I feel so much better except my legs. Colleen has left to go home and shower and change before she returns. She has basically been living in the hospital. "Josh I am so glad you are on the mend" Jeremy says hugging me goodbye. "Thanks for coming.Love you" I say. He smiles and hugs and kisses our parents before leaving to fly back to Georgia. My mom sits beside me staring at me. "Doing ok? She asks. I nod. I hear the door open as I close my eyes. I hear Colleens footsteps and I smile. I open my eyes. "Hi baby" she says coming to sit beside me. "Hi honey" I say grabbing her. "Josh want anything from the cafeteria?" My mom asks. "Fries" I say "and a Diet Dr Pepper please" I say as Colleen smiles. "Double that please" Colleen says. My parents nod and leave. "You should have eaten at home babe" I say. "I wanted to come back as fast as possible. I had to do some laundry and check on the kids" she says smiling. "Doctor was here when you were gone. Said I could come home in the next few days" I say smiling. She smiles and leans in and kisses me. I need to be home.

A few days later the nurse brings me my last dose of pain killers and my prescription to get more filled. My dad is helping me into a wheelchair as Colleen and my Mom gather everything in my room to bring home. I see Colleen walk over to me and grabs my hand. We all walk out together and make our way home. My dad helps me walk up to the house as Colleen and her parents meets me at the front door. Colleen  is holding Noah as Lily runs around my legs. I am so happy to be home. I lower myself onto the couch slowly as my legs throb. I squint my eyes and open them to see everyone staring at me. "My legs" I say embarrassed. They all smile as Colleen curls up beside me with Noah. My mom and dad start making some lunch as we relax. Colleen slowly gets up to put Noah down as Gwen and Tim play with Lily. I close my eyes as the pain becomes immense. "Baby I am going to the pharmacy to get your meds" Colleen says as she rubs my cheek. "Eat first"I say. "I will literally be 10 minutes" she says before grabbing her keys and wallet and walking out the door. As soon as she leaves I try and stand up and slowly make my way to our room to lay down. "Josh let me help you" my dad says as he grabs me. I hold onto him crying softly. "Bad son?" He asks me. "Its terrible Dad" I say as he sits me in bed. "Colleen will be back soon. I will send her back when she gets home" he says. I nod and close my eyes.
