Recovery

chapter 38

play the song as you read. 

It was now a week later and i was finally able to go home. 

"now before you go i have a few things i need to explain to you." the doctor said as he looked at me. 

i nodded. 

" now for starters. you are not fully healed up. so once you go home try to stay on bed rest for atleast 2 weeks you need to make sure those stitches fully heal because you would hate for them to pop open. " he said. 

i scrunched my face just thinking about it. 

" okay." 

" and try to stay away from the greasy foods for 2 weeks as well." he informed me. 

i nodded again. 

"okay other than that you should be fine. if you get any pain just take these pills. " he said passing me the prescription. 

"now all i need for you to do is fill out these release papers and you are free to go. your ride told me to tell you that shes out front." he said with a smile before leaving the room. 

as i stood out of bed to get dressed i wondered who could this " she." possibly be. 

after i was dressed i made sure i had everything the doctor gave me then i was out the door heading to the parking lot.

 as i looked around for my ride the car in front of me beeped their horn i glanced at the window to see nina with a large smile on her face. i chuckled as i walked to her car. 

" what you doing here ?" i asked her with a smile. 

" here to get you. you gone get in or stand there?" she asked. 

i chukled again before getting into the car. she helped me buckle my seat belt then she took off up the road. 

"glad you pulled through." she said in a more serious tone. 

i turned to look at her. i was so confused. i was sure that all of jacob's friends would hate me after i pulled that gun out on him.

" your not mad at me?" i asked her. 

she chuckled. 

" of course not." she said simply. 

" how about the others?" i asked. 

she sighed. 

"ron and lesley pretty much don't want anything to do with you. and i don't know about will or white boy they are closed books. very hard to read." she admitted. 

" oh." i said in a low tone as i leaned back in the seat. 

" dont sweat it tho." she said then glanced at me smiling. 

her smile caused me to smile. 

"so why are you not mad?" i asked her curious to know the answer. 

" because i know where you were coming from and i knew you wouldn't actually shoot him. right? she questioned. 

" right." i lied.

she chuckled. 

" and besides i feel as tho if jacob can forgive you why can't i?" she said with a shrug. 

i looked out the window smiling. i absolutely love this girl. 

we pulled up into my parking lot. i sighed as i opened the car door. 

" you coming in?" i asked her. 

" nah. i gotta go handle a few things. tell jacob i said whats up and give matt a kiss for me." she said.
