**UPDATES EVERY SATURDAY**
*BOOK 2 IN THE 'LOVE IS INSANE' SERIES*
---
To say it was a miracle they were alive would be an understatement. Yet here they were. The Washington Mountain Eight. They had survived a whole shit load of monsters and mental...
As I sat in the chair I looked over my book at Jessica. She was passed out with her head against the wall and her hand curled into Mike's. Only Matt, Ashley, and Chris were awake seeing as we had been sitting in the same place for about three hours now. Yawning I moved my legs a little on Jessica's lap. Now you may be wondering 'Where is Josh?'. My eyes caught the door he was brought through three hours ago. Due to Josh's face turning into half wendigo he had to get surgery.
All of had been here for support of course but we hadn't known the surgery would take so long. His doctor had said at the most two and a half hours. Right now I wasn't worried; it had only been a half an hour over what the doctor said but it was still hard to handle. What if he had lost too much blood? What if his face couldn't be reconstructed? What if he had died? Shaking my head I let my hand subconsciously drop onto my stomach. Ashley noticed my movement.
"He'll be okay, Lee." She reassured softly, yawning halfway through. Nodding I placed my bookmark into my book.
"I'm gonna go to the bathroom. Text me if you hear from the doctor." She nodded as I stood and placed my book in the seat. Slowly I walked to the bathroom, slipping inside. I didn't have to use the bathroom but I needed a break from the constant bad thoughts. Pressing my hands to the sink I looked over myself. My pitch black hair was wavy and had grown out since the incident. Gently I ran my hand through it feeling the silky strands easily slip through my fingers.

The next thing my eyes caught was my outfit. I had decided to wear something comfy yet still my style. To anyone else I would look goth but I was comfy so they can shut the fuck up. As I looked over my outfit I smiled. I wore a black long sleeve romper with matching black wedge heels and a black heart choker. With me I also had my phone, backpack, and black and white coffee mug.

Brushing my hair out of my face I left the bathroom, the fabric around my legs swishing as I walked back to the waiting room. Once back I laughed softly. Both Ashley and Matt had passed out leaving Chris who was on the verge of falling asleep too.
"Paisley Munroe?" My head turned to look at a nurse who had read my name off a clipboard. Raising my hand slightly I walked to her, my wedges clicking on the linoleum floors. "Nice to meet you I'm Brooke. I'm Josh's full time nurse." She smirked as she held out her manicured hand. Cautiously I shook it, wiping my hand on my romper after she let go.
"Is there a reason you're out here?" I asked after she just stared at me for almost a solid minute straight. "Is there an update on my fiance or are you just here to say you're his nurse?" Josh and I really weren't engaged but I don't take well to fake blondes with pretty nails smirking at me as if she was going to screw Josh. Her face dropped for a second before returning to her smirk.
"Josh" I almost growled at the sound of my boyfriend's name on her lips. "Is out of surgery and requested to see you." I waited for a moment for her to tell my the room number before growing impatient of her stare and grabbing the clipboard.
Patient Name: Joshua Washington
Age: 19
Condition: Stable
Room Number: 519
Smiling I walked toward the elevator, clipboard still in hand. I heard the nurse behind me yell for me to hand it back, doctors and patients giving us looks as I pressed the up arrow on the elevator.
"Paisley!" I was pulled into a hug as the elevator doors opened. It was Dr. Rediac, the doctor who had helped all of us who survived the wendigo attacks. Smiling I hugged him back. He was the one who had also done the surgery on Josh. "Going to see Josh?" He asked as I stepped into the elevator and had the clipboard snatched from my hand. Turning I glared at the nurse for a second before turning back to Dr. Rediac.
"Of course." I stated as Dr. Rediac pressed the button to floor five. "I-"
"I don't think we should be giving out Josh's surgery information to a woman who lied to a certified nurse." Brooke cut me off as she gave pointed looks to my ring finger...where there was no engagement ring. Glaring I went to snap back at her but Dr. Rediac stepped forward.
"Well first of all." Dr. Rediac plucked the clipboard from Brooke's hands. "You are to refer to the patient as Mr. Washington not Josh. Also this clipboard is to stay at the patient's bed for any nurse or doctor who comes in to administer medicine." The elevator doors opened and we all stepped out. "And last of all, you're a nurse's assistant." Dr. Rediac started to walk away but stopped and turned a second later. "Oh! And Paisley here was taught by me not to bring expensive jewelry to a hospital when I was her doctor a while ago."
Smirking I followed Dr. Rediac past a nurse's station and to room 519, Josh's room in the ICU. The clipboard was given to me before the doctor left leaving me and nurse's assistant Brooke at the door. Giving her one last look I opened the door and walked in, shutting it behind me and locking it so I could have some private time with my man.
Gently I dropped the clipboard into the slot at the end of the bed. Josh's eyes opened slightly, almost immediately opening fully as he recognized who I was. "If anyone asks I'm your fiance." I smiled as I pulled a chair over next to his bed and looped my hand with his. "How are you feeling?"
"My jaw hurts but I'm feeling better now that my girl is here. You look beautiful." His voice was muffled from the wires he had in his mouth. He had to get his jaw wired shut so he didn't break the stitches or keep anything from healing. Gently I leaned forward and kissed his lips softly. His bandaged cheek was slightly annoying but I could deal with it if it meant I could kiss his loving lips. "How's you and my baby?" He whispered against my lips.
"We're alright." I murmured back. "Tired but alright." Smiling he moved over a little bit and gestured for me to get in. I shook my head. Before I could protest anymore I was being pulled into bed with Josh. Laughing I laid my head on his shoulder and hooked my leg over his hip. Even with his jaw wired shut and stitches in his cheek, Josh Washington was romantic and smooth as fuck.
