The Story of Us

Chap. 14

"Rylee. You will walk again. You just have to have the strength and determination to do so."

"THE DAMN BULLET IS LODGED IN MY SPINAL CORD! THEY THOUGHT IT EXCITED BUT THERE ARE STILL REMAINS IN THERE AND THEY CAN'T TAKE THEM OUT IN ONE SURGERY! I would have to undergo many surgeries and that may not even work. That could paralyze me even more. AND I DON'T WANT TO SPEND MY LIFE IN PHYSICAL THERAPY!"

"Rylee.."

"NO THERE IS NO POINT! I'M DONE AND EVERYTHING IS OVER!"

"Rylee! Stop!"

"No! Isadorra! You aren't going to stay with a cripple."

"Excuse me? No. Shut up. I am not going to deal with you and acting like this! You are going to get better again or at least try because that's better than nothing and no matter what I am sticking by your side so I suggest you stop this pity party because it's not going to work!"

"Isadorra..."

"NO! SHUT UP! Now, you must be starving do you want some food? This hospital food is nasty so you want me to order in some pizza, chinese, or they have a McDonald's next to the hospital. I can run over there if you'd like."

"Pizza please."

"You read my mind." I gave him a cheesy smile trying to make him feel better. "Pizza hut? Little ceasers?"

"Pizza hut please." He spoke softly and depressed

"Your amazing." That caused him to crack a small smile at me. I sat beside him on the bed grabbing the phone and began to ring pizza hut.

Before I called I leaned over and gave Rylee a kiss to try and reassure him he had me and would always have me. He didn't fully kiss back but instead just let me kiss him. At the end he gave me a small peck and then Pizza Hut answered.

"Yes. Can I have two no three of your ten dollor box deals. Then four boxes of hot wings. Then can we have four two litters of doctor pepper and root beer?"

"Is that all for you today?" The boy on the other end spoke.

"Yes please.

"Thank you. Your total is seventy-six thirty nine. That will be ready in oh let's say thirty minutes."

"Can that be delivered?" I asked as he was probably about to stay something else.

"Yes it can be. Where to?"

"The park view hospital room 674."

"No problem but that will add an addetional ten dollars to your order. Is that okay?"

"Yes that is perfectly fine."

"Okay. That will be all for today?"

"Yes."

"Okay thank you. Your pizza will be delivered to you at the park view hospital to room 674 and your total is 86.39? And your order consisted of three of our ten buck boxes with four boxes of hot wings and four two litters of root beer and doctor pepper. Does this all sound right to you?"

"Yes it does. Thank you."

"That will arive close to sixty minutes from now."

"Thank you." I said once again seeming as if this phone call has went on longer than neccesary.

"Have a nice day." The line went dead.
