You Don't Know Me

Chapter 36| Besides All That

Yet again, I find myself down the same hallway. Same white walls, same disinfectant smell, people gathering into rooms and walking out with tears. I'm not the biggest fan of hospitals. Only today, am I happy being here. That's because Will is being discharged today.

Brent squeezes my hand and I feel grateful that's he been so supportive of me. He doesn't know Will all that well, but here's still here to help me through everything.

I open the door to Will's room and see him already in his own clothes and I smile. Jake and Josh arrived before me along with Will's foster parents and Cyrus, whom I heard is now very close to Will.

Even though he isn't in tip-top shape, he's still healing well and since he was so athletic before all this his body is healing much faster than the average.

"Will has to keep from minimal physical activity, so he's going to be in a wheelchair for a bit. He's still struggling from the surgery and his arm is in a cast and several of his limbs are wrapped up. Besides that, he's all healthy," the doctor says. "Some pain meds will be given to relieve the pain, though."

"Besides all that, everything's set. Of course, you'll still need to visit, but not for long," the doctor says to Will and his foster parents.

Cyrus walks over to Will and helps him into his wheelchair.

Cyrus has actually volunteered at the hospital so he spends a good amount of time here, but from what I've heard, mostly with Will. They seem to have grown really close lately. That definitely doesn't stop me from teasing Will about it.

Once we're all outside and it's official I take a deep breath.

Will is brought back home and I head back to the car, still holding Brent's hand. We drive to Will's house and we end up playing some video games.

I win every time, of course.

Once I win, another game, I stand up and walk to the kitchen to order some pizza.

Once I order a cheese, Hawaiian, and pepperoni pizza I put my phone back in my pocket and walk back into the living room. Only to find that it's empty.

I frown and before I could call out all four boys jump out from behind me, causing me to shriek.

They fall into a deep laughter while I feign a deep frown. Plopping myself on the couch, I pout. If I'm in the right mood, it's really easy to scare me.

"Sorry, we felt the need to scare you, it was a perfect scenario for it," Jake says and I give in.

"Okay, I'm sure it was funny hardy har," I chuckle.

Jake and Josh plop down on my left as Brent sits on my right, and Will wheels in beside the couch. Silently, I grab a pillow and stand up before going in a line and hitting Josh, then Jake, and then Brent.

"Just a small piece of payback, for the tiny scare," I say with a smirk before sitting back down.

"Yeah, but I'm changing the game, I want to have a chance at winning,"Josh says and we laugh.

"You guys make it too easy," I chuckle as Josh chooses a different game.

~~~~~~

As I walk down Will's driveway I feel actually really relaxed. This means that Will is going to be okay really soon. I finally got to hang out with all of us together without some room covered in disinfectant.

I definitely needed it.

This is the end of all the drama. Finally.

A/N: (or is it?) DUN DUN DUNNN. Kidding, sort of..

Sorry, this chapter is a bit short. I meant to make it longer, but nothing else really fit without it being either too long or too short. Next chapter should be better. It might be a while because I'm starting to get all these final projects and stuff for the school year.

Which is crazy. It felt like September was only a week ago, and now it's March. I also have to get a bunch of stuff ready since I'm graduating to a new school and it's getting a bit hectic and all.

I think that's all I have to say.

Hope you enjoyed <3
