Chapter 6

Val's POV- 

Abel and Amanda left me in this hospital room alone. It wasn't huge but the quietness made it seem bigger. I rang my buzzer signaling that needed a nurse to come. "Yes" I heard the nurse say. "Sorry but I was wondering if you could close my blinds and if I could get a snack." "Of course." She closed the kinds and then headed out to get my snack. I'm eat when im stressed. 

She returned about two minutes later with a basket of different kinds of snacks. "I wasn't sure what to get so I just brought these." She set the basket on my bed and exited the room. I stuck y hand in the bag and took out the first thing. Nacho Cheese Doritos. I opened the bag and popped one in my mouth. Yum. I grabbed my remote and flipped on the tv. After flipping through multiple channels, I settled on some old scary movie. Abel loved these types of movies. 

I sat and watched the whole movie snacking on the various munchies in the basket. By the time the movie finished, I was out of snacks. 

When the end credits came on, I turned off the tv and snuggled further into my blanket. "Excuse me, is Valerie in here." I internally groaned and said "Yes, that's me." "Oh, hello. I'm Doctor Rose. I am just gonna do some some last check ups and then write you a release form." "You mean I get to leave?" She smiled and said yes." 

I was overwhelmed but this news. I could finally get out of here! She checked me from head to toe. She even made me stand walk. I couldn't do it without feeling pain all over. She let me sit back down and then wrote on a small slip of paper. "Ok, you are stable to leave it you are going to have to come to physical therapy once a week. Also I have some prescriptions for you and they were sent to your pharmacy." "Thank", I said as she handed me the slip of paper. "Of course. I am goin to tell your nurse to give you crutches to help you with walking. Make sure you wear loose fitting and flat shoes for the next few weeks. Also do you have someone to pick you up?" "Yes", I said assured that Abel would take me home when he comes to visit tonight. "Ok well in that case, get better and see in physical therapy." "Bye" I said and she headed out. I laid back down happy that I was finally gonna get out. 

My eyelids soon be some heavy and I drifted into. Deep sleep. 

Abel's POV- 

Beep. Beep. Beep. My annoying alarm clock rang out and I tried to block it out. I finally got enough energy to turn it off and get out of bed. The clock read 8:31. Ugh, back to work. I dragged my self out if bed, in and out the shower and into some clothes. By time I finished it was after 9. 

I grabbed my keys and phone and got into my car. I drove to the studio and when I got there, it was locked. I didn't have keys so I called up one of the people I worked with to open the door. "Hey man, can you come open up the door?" "Didn't you hear? We're not working today. We start back tomorrow." "Really? Didn't get the message. Thanks." "Yeah. Be there tomorrow at 9:30." "Alright bye." I hung up and thought about I was gonna make time pass. I decided to go visit Val since I had nothing else to do. I got back in my car and drove down to the hospital. When I got to her room, she wasn't in there and I began to panic. I ran back to the front "Excuse me. I'm looking for. Patient under the name of Valerie." The nurse looked through her notebook and then said "um she is in the cafeteria right now." "Thank you." I said and began to walk there. It calmed my nerves a bit but why was she in there? 

I entered the cafeteria and scanned the area 3 times but couldn't find her. I started walking up closer to propel then I spotted her. She wasn't in her hospital gown. She had on a pair if shorts and a t-shirt. Her hair was in a ponytail and she was on crutches. I walked up to her and tapped her shoulder interrupting a conversation between her and an elder woman. She turned around and looked surprised to see me. "Abel, why are you here so early." "Didn't have work today. What happened to you? Why aren't you in your bed?" "Really that great and they are releasing me today. Do you think you could take me home?" "Of course." They were really letting her out? "Who is this young man" the elder woman said. "This", Val said pointing to me, "is my boyfriend Abel." "You look very fimilar...would you happen to be a singer?" "Yes I am." "It thought so. My granddaughter loves your music. Lord knows why." I chuckled a bit and said "Really? What's her name?" "Her name is Bria, why?" "Nothing." I grabbed a piece if paper and pen from the visitor table. "Dear Bria," I said as I wrote it down. ", I hear you're a big fan. Thanks. Love Abel." I signed my name at the broom and handed it to the elder woman. "Give this to her whenever you see her." "Thank you" she said then walked off to another group of people.
