Those Three Words

Chapter Twenty-six

<<<<<<<<<< Press vote if you're excited for the sequel!

     Carson has been out of the coma for three weeks now. It was almost Christmas time, and the doctors were hoping on letting him out before Christmas.

     He's been going to physical therapy every day for three weeks, and he's getting stronger. He lost almost all of his strength laying in the hospital bed for as long as he did without moving. He had even lost a lot of weight he needed to gain back. His hair had fallen out from the stress as well. He honestly looked terrible, but it was better than him being dead. All of those things could get back to the way they were, so I was just happy that he was alive.

Carsons POV-

     When I was in the coma, I learned something. I learned how precious life really is. I learned how lucky I am. I know I wasn't awake, but I knew that she was there every day. The entire time I was in the coma, Avalon was there.

    

     Even after I woke up out of the coma, she's been here every single day. She's gone to PT with me every day. She's been by my side through this all. I truly am lucky to have her in my life.

     Honestly, I think me almost dying has brought us even closer together. If it weren't for this, she might not have even spoke again. She had the courage to speak, and when I heard her speaking for the first time to me, it gave me courage.

     Most people don't get to say that at such a young age, they find the person that they're supposed to spend their life with, but I can truly say that I know what it feels like to be completely in love with someone, not just someone, but the one.

     Avalon and I are meant to be together. There was a reason that we bumped into each other that day in the park. There was a reason everything has happened. Everyone has a purpose in life, and my purpose is to be the best man I can be for Avalon.

     My thoughts went away as the nurse walked through the door.

"Hello, Mr. Kent. How are you feeling today?" I sighed.

"Pretty good." I was lying, I was in extreme pain, but there was no reason to tell her that. I wanted to get out of here in time for Christmas. I had to plan a special Christmas for my princess.

"Are you ready for PT?" I hated PT, it was always a pain. I enjoyed having Avalon there to help me through it, though.

"Avalon has speech soon, I wanted to go with her." I was her support, and she was mine.

     I was glad my nurses were so understanding of me wanting to go to speech with Avalon. It was a special kind of speech. It was more like psychological, because it was helping her cope with speaking again, along with helping her to speak more often. She was saying words every once and a while, but it was still a slow process. The most I heard her speak was the day that I got out of the coma. That's alright, though. I don't expect her to start speaking a lot now that she knows she's able to. You try going eight years without speaking, I'm sure it'd be hard for you to start speaking again.

     I wanted to be there with her every step of the way, though. She's done the same for me, and that means the world. I think we're good for each other, not just one is good for the other.

     The days seem to be going by quicker and quicker. There's only five days until Christmas. I don't know if I'll be out of the hospital or not, but if not I'll make sure I can leave for a couple hours.

     It's been far too long since Avalon and I have been on a date, and I wanted to take her somewhere special. I wanted to show her my appreciation. If it weren't for her being by my side every day, I wouldn't have had the strength to over come what I did.

     I guess it's true, love conquers all.
