Give Me Life

Part 41

*3 weeks later*

‘Well its been lovely taking care of you, you make sure she takes it easy now Aston…’ one of the nurses smiled

‘Thankyou for all you’ve done…’ I replied. Today was the day I was being discharged home from hospital.

‘Don’t worry I’ll take care of her…’ Aston smiled, holding me closer and kissing my forehead. The support he’d given me over the past month or so had been incredible and even when I didn’t know who he was, he never gave up hope

‘Come on then lets get you home’ I smiled holding Amelia’s hand and using my free hand to pull her suitcase along

My car was parked just outside the hospital entrance so we didn’t have far to travel, luckily the press had decided to respect my privacy today which was a once in a blue moon occurrence and there was not a fan in sight; there were some days where you just needed your family and friends around you and no one else, today was one of those days. We’d decided it was best if Amelia moved in with me for the time being, just until she found her feet again, she’d had major surgery and been through a hell of a lot over the past month or so, an she was going to need all the support she could get.

‘you ok?’ I smiled, placing a hand on her thigh as she gazed at her reflection in the car mirror

‘Yeah….’ She sighed ‘it’ll just take some getting used to’ she shrugged smiling back at me. Looking at her beautiful face I knew what she was talking about. The surgeons had to shave part of her hair to do the surgery and she currently had a shaven bald patch and one hell of a surgical scar

‘Your still beautiful….you know that right?’ I smiled ‘Lets get you home…’

‘home? Ast its not my home, im sure I’ll be fine on my own…’

‘Hey…my home is your home, Amelia I want us to be together for a very long time, I want to marry you one day…’ I blushed

‘I’d like that’ she said simply. And with that we drove off back to my flat, getting her settled infront of the television with a hot drink once we’d arrived. Things could have ended up so differently to how it was now, and I feel so fortunate that everything worked out ok. We still have a long way to go but things were finally looking up.

*An hour later*

‘Rochelle’s just text me asking if your feeling well enough for visitors? There all dying to see you, shall I tell her another time though?’

‘No…’ she smiled ‘I feel fine, a bit weak but the doctor it would take a while for me to recover, I’d like to see them all…’

‘great…I’ll tell them to come over later this afternoon? Gives us a bit of time…’

‘Ast im not up for sex….’ She laughed ‘not just yet anyway’

‘Oh god no I didn’t mean that you dirty girl’ I winked, feeling my cheeks go as red as a tomato. For once I actually didn’t mean anything like that

‘good then…just snuggles’ she smiled, resting her head against my chest, kissing her hair gently. She may feel insecure about the scar being on show but she was always going to be beautiful to me. Amelia fell asleep not long after the film I’d put on had started, sleeping peacefully I watched her chest rise and fall.

…………………………………………………………………….

*a few hours later*

Amelia hadn’t even stirred for almost four hours now, still sleeping peacefully she suddenly flickered open her eyes to my phone buzzing beside me.

‘Sorry babe, I meant to put it on silent’

‘Its fine…’ she yawned ‘What time is it?’

‘Just gone four…’

‘Four?’

‘Yeah’ I laughed ‘you must have needed it’

‘Yeah I guess…these tablets make me really sleepy aswell’

‘Your dads been texting me, he must be so worried, having to leave you and go back to Africa and all…’

‘Yeah, but im fine, he needed to get back for work and I was over the worst by then, he’ll come visit again soon’

‘Yeah…why don’t you ring him, let him know your ok?’

‘Yeah, that’d be good, can I use your phone, my battery is nearly dead…’

‘Course’ I smiled passing her the phone, her face lighting up as soon as her dad answered the call. Despite living so far away from him, her dad was her best friend.

‘Ok, I’ll speak to you soon…love you too…bye’ she smiled ending the call just as the doorbell rang

‘That’ll be Rochelle and the others, I’ll let them in’
