ASLEEP // A DOVE AND RYAN FAN FICTION.

Chapter 13// Even Doctors reek suspicion.

RYAN'S POV:

I was finally getting out of my wheelchair.
They said I still needed crutches but at least I would be able to walk properly and do things for myself again.

It was a week until the wedding, about the right time for this.

To save the time and fuss of hiring a cab or driving there ourselves, Chloe rang the hospital and they finally agreed on doing a home visit.

She was holding my hand and smiling at me. I could tell she couldn't wait for this to be over.

There was a knock on the door, so Chloe jumped up and answered it.

"Hi!"I heard her say in an excited tone.
"Hello, you must be Chloe, Ryan's fiancée?!" The person at the door answered.
Chloe nodded and welcomed them in.

This time it was a male Doctor.
He had a scruffy beard and his hair was long and looked as if it hadn't been brushed in years.

He smelt of the inside of a dentists office, which made me shiver.

He sat down beside me and smiled, showing his surprisingly white teeth.

I gulped.
"So, today we are going to be changing your wheelchair, to crutches, the first step, is for you, Chloe, to help him out of his chair..now please.." He said, pointing at me and waggling his finger.

So Chloe got up, and helped me out of my wheelchair, apologizing every so often in case she had hurt me.

"Now, I'm going to do something to your legs, when it hurts, tell me.." He said.
I nodded as he removed the bandages that were wrapped around my knees and ankles.

"Now..does this hurt?" He asked, in a calming voice.
I shook my head so he moved his hands down my legs.
I felt uncomfortable but..I wanted to get out of my wheelchair so I had to put up with it.

"Shit.."I muttered, as he bent my foot back slightly, squeezing it.
"Did that hurt?" He asked, making me roll my eyes.
No! It didn't hurt, i just cursed under my breath for no reason!
I nodded.
"Okay, well, if that seems to be the only problem, we'll just bandage them back up" he smiled.
"So, am I crutch worthy?"I asked, trying to sit in a more comfortable position.
He nodded. "Yes"
Chloe and I sighed in relief.
"But if you don't feel comfortable getting out just yet and walking on your fee.."
"No! No! I want this thing gone, right now!" I said, beginning to shout.
He nodded his head "okay.." He mumbled.
He then got up, and left.
"Um...? Where did he go?!" I asked Chloe, who just shook her head in confusion and walked towards the door.
She opened it and peered around the door frame.
"He's..um..walking fast..Hey!" She yelled down the hall.
"Oh, sorry, I have to visit my car quickly!" I heard him call back.
Chloe nodded, then closed the door.
" he'll be back..I hope..he seemed a little..suspicious.." She said, sitting back beside me.
I nodded.
"He's probably just been promoted or something.." I said, giving Chloe a massage.
She turned to face me and cuddled into my chest.
" I hope he isn't a burglar.." She said, making me shiver.
I hoped so too..that had happened before..

Flashback

I was washing my face, and Chloe was climbing into bed.
I finished off by flossing my teeth, then climbed in beside her.
She said she felt cold so I wrapped my arms around her and intwined my fingers with hers.

Just as I closed my eyes, there was a smashing sound, and it seemed to be coming from the kitchen.

I told Chloe to stay put, and I picked up my baseball bat, which, I never used because sports weren't relevant in my life.
Anyway..
I walked slowly out of the bedroom into the lounge.
A figure in a hoodie was loading our things into a big black sack.
I crept up behind him but he heard me, punched me in the face, and ran out of the room, his bag full of our stuff!
I winced in pain as my cheek began to bleed, then I staggered towards the door which was hanging open.
He had escaped!
End of Flashback

She must have seen me shivering because she patted my shoulder and said " I mean..I doubt it..Ry..nothing's missing anyway..wait.." She placed her hands on her neck and looked around.
"Chlo, chlo what's wrong?!"I asked her, furrowing my eyebrows.
"My necklace! My necklace is gone!" She yelled, standing up and looking under the coffee table and couch.

"Shit..do you think it was that guy!? I'll rip out his.." But she just shook her head.
"Ry, no, no revenge, we'll just call the cops.."
She looks down at my fists which are clenched, she looked up at my teeth which were gritted, and she started crying.
"I'm so sorry Ryan! I know how much you wanted to get rid of this wheelchair..we should have gone to the actual hospital..they must have hired him not knowing about his side job.."
I shook my head
"Chlo, it is NOT your fault! Do NOT blame yourself! Yeah..we'll just call the cops.."
She had a worried look on her face.
And not the kind of worried look a mother gives a child, but the kind of worried look you get when you're lying on the road next to a smashed up car..because they don't think you'll make it.
So I just kissed her on the forehead, and held her close.

Then we called the cops..after that we were going to go to the hospital...sort out everything with my wheelchair..and get Chloe's necklace back..
Everything would be back to normal?
Right..!?
