*Josh's POV* As I spend more time with Savannah and Henry I realize how every little thing in life happens for a reason. And the big things too. Obviously, I would never hope to get in an accident and I would never hope to be paralyzed. But I also believe that this happened for a reason, and I'm trying to make the best of it. Everything has a silver lining, and Savannah is my silver lining. Even if she doesn't know it yet. "You know Sav, I'm realllll glad you didn't get stuck with a creepy roommate who does like voodoo or stares creepily at us when I come to visit." Henry says to his sister. "How do you know I don't do voodoo." I say, making an effort to stare creepily at both Henry and Savannah.My effort is worth it, because they both laugh. More importantly, Savannah laughs. I mean, Henry is a cool guy don't get me wrong. But when he laughs, I don't get butterflies in my stomach. I remind myself that Savannah hates me. I remind myself that she has a boyfriend. I remind myself that I shouldn't be in love with her. I don't believe in love at first sight. Well I didn't. Not until I saw her. Shit. I'm not supposed to love her. I barely know her. She has a boyfriend. She clearly hates me for some reason. But she did laugh at that joke.. it's probably because Henry is here. After a few hours, a new nurse comes in to bring me to physical therapy. She moves the machine over to my bed and attaches me, and then it lifts me with her help into a wheel chair. "See you guys in a bit." I say nodding to Henry and smiling at Savannah as I'm rolled out of the room. When we get into the therapy room, I am put on a different table and I work with my therapist for a few hours. I'm put into my chair again and the nurse comes to push me. "I can do it." I say sternly. After a completely unsuccessful therapy session with absolutely no improvements, I feel the need to do something for myself without being babied by all these people who can walk just fine. When I finally get back into my room, the nurse helps me get situated into bed with the help of the machine once again. Henry and Rosie are gone and Savannah is laying in bed staring at the ceiling. It looks like she doesn't wanna talk, and I don't wanna annoy her more than I already have so I turn to the window and pretend to sleep so I don't make her feel awkward. A few minutes later, a see the reflection of a tall skinny guy walk into the room. He has strawberry blonde hair with lots of freckles and pale skin. "Hey baby" Savannah says, her voice lifting to the angelic sound it takes when she's happy. "Hey Savannah." the guy, who I'm assuming to be her boyfriend, says flatly. "Can we go somewhere and talk where uh, nobody else is." He says, and I assume he glances at me. I just keep my eyes shut and feel bad for eavesdropping on whatever is about to happen. "He's sleeping. He has been since he came back from therapy." Savannah says. "Okay, well then. I don't think there's any easy way to say this.." the man says. "What's wrong Raymond?" she says. Now he has a name. I don't like Raymond the way it is. Then he says something even I wasn't expecting. He says something that makes me hate him even more because I know it will hurt Savannah. He simply says "I um, I think we should break up."
