Making the Worst of a Good Situation

Moving in Reverse

Chapter 18

I was hating being in this hospital. No one would let me get up and walk around. And when they caught me up they'd rush me back to bed. Sadly they being my friends and family. And the food here was terrible. Luckily, Paige was cooking and sneaking me food.

"You ready to go?" Paige asked me. I was finally being released from the hospital. She pushed a wheelchair to my bedside. 

"I can walk out you know?" I said. She gave me a stern look.

"Just get in the chair." I sighed and sat in the chair. 

Paige drove me home since I was now carless again. I got out of the car and we walked up to the apartment together.

I opened the door.

"Oh my God!" I screamed turning around. That singer Anthony or whatever was standing completely naked in the living room.

"Shit!" he screamed pulling up his underwear.

"What the hell is he doing here?" I screamed at Paige.

"I told you not today!" she screamed at him.

"I didn't know she'd be here!" he scrambled to put on his pants.

"Really!" I screamed "How'd he even get in here?" I asked.

"My key. Duh." he said. Paige glared at him.

"You gave him a key?" I looked at Paige outraged.

"I'm out of here." he angrily stormed out.

"Anthony wait!" she ran after him.

"Are you kidding me?" I said to myself.

I looked out of the window ticked off at Paige. I saw her throw herself all over Anthony. 

What did I expect it's Paige after all?

I sighed annoyed and went into our room and laid on the bed.

"I'm so sorry Sheilah" Paige said coming in. She had big puppy dog eyes.

"You're always sorry." I said twiddling my thumbs.

"No but I really mean it." She said sitting on the bed "Please forgive me."

"I'm not mad." I said surprising her. "I expect this of you now." I said sadly. She looked at me pitifully and the doorbell rang. I walked past her and answered the door.

"Hey little sis" Sean said when I opened the door. He was carrying a jar of peanut butter and pickles.

"Hey" I smiled at him confused looking at the jars.

"I heard pregnant women like this kind of stuff." he handed me the jars as I giggled

"Thanks.... Come in." I sat down on the couch and Sean sat across from me. 

"So how you feeling?" he asked.

"Pretty good. My ribs aren't sore anymore." I said

"Cool. Cool. Where's Paige?" he asked looking around. I laughed to myself. Paige entered and sat next to me not saying a word.

"What's wrong with you two?" Sean asked looking between the two of us.

I shrugged and Paige didn't even open her mouth. There was another knock on the door.

"I'll get it." Paige got up and ran to the door. It was Iris carrying a box of chocolates.

"Hey. I got you these." she handed me the box. "They're super good." she smiled at me and looked over at Sean.
