18.
It had been a week today since Damien had woke up, I was feeling a little more better already, I had started eating more but I still hadn't slept much, Damien finally got the use back in his left arm and was now allowed to go home. I called Lucy to ask could she pick us up as it was a Saturday so there wasn't any school. Lucy said she would be here in ten minutes.
I helped Damien pack all his stuff away and it felt good for him to be allowed home.
***
Lucy had dropped us off at Damien's and she had gone home, we were all going to have a sleepover tonight to welcome Damien back but for now Lucy wanted to give us some alone time away from the hospital.
"Do you mind if I use your shower?" I asked.
Damien shot me a dirty look, "Ask again and I will shoot you."
I laughed before grabbing my bag and going into Damien's room.
***
I was now out the shower and sat downstairs cuddled up to Damien on the sofa.
"Do you want to come with me to the tattoo shop?" Damien asked.
"You having another tattoo?" I asked.
"No, I am going to get my tongue re-done."
"Sure I will come." I smiled.
We made our way to Damien's car and headed to the tattoo shop that was only five minutes away.
We walked in and the shop was empty so we were allowed straight through to the piercing room.
Damien sat on the bed and stuck his tongue out like the man instructed to.
"You had this done before?" The man asked.
"Yes, I had to have surgery and had to take it out for a few week." Damien replied.
"Well your tongue hasn't fully healed so you won't go through all the pain and swelling again, I will give you a starter bar and you can change it tonight instead of leaving it two week, just don't change it if it does swell a little.
Damien nodded before sticking his tongue back out, the man clamped Damien's tongue and pushed a needled through the nearly healed hole already in Damien's tongue, I cringed a little. Damien didn't even blink, the man stuck the bar in Damien's tongue and then screwed the balls on.
"There you go, all done." The man smiled.
"Thanks, I feel better already but I have not missed this starter bar."
"Well at least you won't need it in for two week this time." The man laughed.
Damien paid and then we headed back to his house.
***
It was now 6.30pm and Damien had just changed his bar back to his short bar.
"Finally, I feel normal again." Damien laughed.
"You normal, you must be dreaming." I joked.
Damien stuck his tongue out at me. I laughed before leaning forward to kiss him, Damien stuck his tongue in my mouth and teased me with his tongue bar. It felt amazing.
Another ten minutes went by and the door bell rang before Lucy and Drake came walking in with a massive pizza box and some sodas.
"It's good to see you Damien." Drake smiled before giving him a bear hug.
We all laughed and joke and for once I was happy again.
***
The night had flown by and Damien was telling us about the army. He told us how they had to take in turns guarding the barracks while the other soldiers rested.
***
I was now lying in bed with my head on Damien's bear chest.
"Karly will you come somewhere with me tomorrow?" Damien asked while rubbing my hair.
"Where?" I asked.
"To Jamie's grave." Damien replied.
I didn't reply for a while.
"Yes." I finally answered.
"Are you sure?" Damien asked.
"Yes I am sure." I smiled up at Damien and he kissed my forehead, why the hell did I pick Liam over Damien. Damien is so much sweeter.
"I love you Damien Jones." I smiled.
"I love you so much my princess."
I finally fell asleep with a massive smile on my face.
