Being on set was just not the same without Steven. I felt like a part of my-self was missing. I proceeded to act as if it were a normal day though. Once the day was over I changed out of the costume I was wearing, but once again I was dirty. I hurried home and showered once again, not caring what I looked like at this point.
I started toward the hospital again not as worried as the last time I was driving there. I knew Steven was ok and him not being ok wasn't even a thought I had anymore. Once I arrived I found a parking spot and got out, making sure to lock to doors. I walked inside and it felt good being able to go in not frantic and wondering where Steven was.
I made my way up to the ICU and walked towards Stevens room, but that's when I began to grow nervous again. Many nurses were helping one another clean out Stevens room for the next patient.
"Excuse me....." I stated, getting their attention. "Where's the man that was in this room?"
"Oh, he's been moved to the recovery hall" she smiles. "I'll take you too him" she states.
I immediately felt better. "Thank you!" I stated playing with the ring on my finger. She lead me up a couple floors and down the hall opening the door, holding an arm out for me to go in.
"Thanks again" I stated walking inside. The room was slightly bigger than the last and Steven was laying in a bed, his leg elevated, reading a book. "Hey" I smiled.
He looked up and saw me, a smile forming on his face. "Hi" he says, his voice raspy. "Where have you been?"
"I was filming" I say, sounding stressed. "I sent you a text..."
He nods. "I haven't got my phone back" he laughs. "But how was it?"
"It was ok...kind of weird without you there" I laugh slightly.
"It's just like filming a episode without me in it" he laughs.
"Yea, but when I know your supposed to be there and your not it's weird" I say.
He shrugs and looks down at his book with a blank stare. "What are you gonna do when I'm not there anymore...." he sighs.
I set my purse and phone down in a empty chair and sit on his bed side, grabbing his hand into mine. I sigh and draw small shapes on his hand with my finger. "I don't know" I say.
"It sucks you know?" He says.
"I know" I sigh.
"The fact that I only have 3 1/2 episodes left is just so weird to me..." he says
"Me too" I state kissing his forehead. "Do you want your phone?" I ask, changing the subject.
He nods, placing a book mark in the book, placing it on the nightstand to the side of his bed.
I get up opening the closet, grabbing his phone out of a bag. I hand it to him and he clicks the home button seeing many notifications. "Dang" he chuckles.
"What?" I ask
"Half of them are you" he laughs showing me the screen.
"Sorry, I'm a worrier" I smile sitting by his side again.
"So we should talk" he says.
"About what?" I ask.
"Our wedding and life after" he smiles wanting to feel happy. I smile, now shifting so I was laying beside him, my head on his chest.
"Well.....are we gonna move into your place or mine?" She asks. "For now at least, till we can get a new house"
"Your place is nicer" he chuckles.
"When will the wedding be?" I ask. Frankly I didn't want it to far. I wanted to marry him so bad.
"A couple months maybe?" He says. "It's august 5th?" I nod. "So how about November 6th"
"What's so special about November 6th?" I ask giggling slightly.
"It's the day of our first kiss" he states.
I smile, tickled he remembered. "I remember now" I state.
"We were on your couch, watching Season 2, episode 4, and when Glenn and Maggie had their first kiss......so did we" he smiles.
I smile, leaning in giving him a small kiss. "November 6th it is" I say.

A week or so goes by and I basically had the routine down by then. Stay the night at the hospital, leave after I've had breakfast with Steven, go home shower and go to set. If I didn't have to film I would go to Stevens and pack his things. Everyday I would bring a little more to my place, moving him in.
I would go back to the hospital and bring Steven a nice lunch so he didn't have to eat the hospital food. I would spend about an hour with him before leaving again. Lastly I would go back to the hospital for dinner, and stay the night.
Today was different though. Today I would be taking Steven out of the hospital and to my house. His wrist was completely healed so they put him on crutches. I grabbed his things and led him to the parked car.
I helped him into the car, placing his crutches and things in the backseat. "You ready to finally get out of here?" I chuckle.
"Yes!" He was with relief. "It feels nice to breathe in from fresh air"
I smile turning the car on. I plug my phone into the aux cord, playing some of Stevens favorite songs. He enjoyed singing the whole way home and I enjoyed watching his delight.
Once we get to my house it was about 7:00pm. We had already eaten dinner. I helped him inside and upstairs to my bedroom. I helped him lay down on the bed.
"How are you feeling?" I ask pulling the covers over him.
"Better than ever" he smiles making himself comfortable.
I go over to my dresser and pull out a tank top and pajama pants to sleep in. I strip down put my dirty clothes in a hamper and change again. I get on my side of the bed and cuddle against Steven.
"This is much better than a hospital bed" I smile shutting my eyes.
"Most definitely" he says.
AYE IM NOT DEAD! I'll be updating more often my lovleys♥️
