Why don't we try

Recovery

Ariana's POV:
Two weeks later I'm still at hospital but in way better condition. The doctors and nurses have been so kind and said I have made tremendous progress. It first started when I could feel Zach's hand on mine and from then I have had loads of physical therapy sessions and worked as hard as possible to get myself out of the hell hole. I missed Lily's funeral because I was stuck in hospital. I still regret not putting up a fight so someone had to take me. I never got the chance to say goodbye and the words she had told the boys to tell me have been constantly spinning around my mind.
The boys walk in the room startling me.
"Zach I need to talk to you"
"What about?" He asked nervously.
I beckon him over with my hand and whisper in his ear "I need to go to Lily's grave".
He stands upright and I can tell he's questioning the idea hard.
I thought out of everyone Zach would understand and help me. I sit there with my fingers crossed, waiting for an answer. He simply nods and the boys look at both of us confused. "I need to go to the toilet" I say to the nurse walking past.
"Ok then let me just get the wheelchair".
She walks out of the room and out of sight when Corbyn says "what are you two planning?"
"Nothing" I say with a smirk on my face.
The nurse returns with the wheelchair and Zach volunteers to take me. The boys all look at us with confused looks again as Zach wheels me out of the room and down the corridor. He starts running, making our way to the entrance of the hospital. Zach quickly turns a corner nearly throwing me out of the wheelchair.
"Oops sorry" he says and we start laughing as we frantically made our way out. A gust of wind hits me as we go out of the doors.
"Here put this on" he says whilst handing me his jumper. I remember back to when he first did this as I slip it on. It literally looks like a dress on me. We both laugh at how funny I look and then Zach calls an uber. When the uber arrives Zach helps me in and we make our way to the graveyard.

As the uber pulls by the graveyard my heart starts racing. Zach looks at me with a sympathetic smile before helping me out of the uber. He then tells the uber driver to wait and we make our way to her grave. It takes us a while at first but then we find it. I get out of the wheelchair and kneel down beside her grave. "Everyday I wake up hoping it was a bad dream. I've noticed the people you care most about in life are taken too soon. Without you a piece of me has been taken and because of it I now feel empty. Friendship isn't about who has been there the longest but about who said they would be there for you and proved it. We both brought out the best in each other and without you Lily I don't know how I'd have the confidence to do anything so thank you for everything" as I say those last words I burst out in tears. Zach rushes to my side and pulls me into his chest.
"I think we should be getting back to the hospital".
I nod and he helps me back into the wheelchair. I don't take my eyes of her grave until it's out of sight.

We get back to the hospital and as we walk in everyone rushes over to us.
"Where on earth where you??!!" My mom shouts as a nurse grabs the wheelchair off of Zach. I don't reply. I haven't said a word since coming back from the graveyard and I don't want to. They take me back to my room where I fall to sleep.
