*Riley's POV*
In a blinding white, the world slowly came into view. I could make out the end of the bed. That's all. Then a window. It looked to be about noon. Then i could hear a steady BEEP of a heart moniter. Was I in the hospital? Oh yeah. The knife. I didn't care if I was in the hospital. Just as long as my poor excuse of a parent was in jail, i didn't care.
"R-Riley?" I hear a small voice say. I turn to see Mitch's comforting eyes staring intently at me. I smile and breathlessly speak.
"Mitch!"
He smiles and wrappes me in a hug, careful of the wires sticking out of my arms. He was about to pull away, but i shook my head and pulled him closer.
"No." I said into his chest. "I want you close to me."
He nods and kisses my cheek.
"Anything for you."
After what seemed like hours, the door opened, and the doctor stepped in. He was young and very tall. His hair was a light brown and his face was very thin, with a light beard.
"Riley, your wound is healing normally. Just try and rest for the next couple days and i'm sure you'll be fine." H esaid with a smile. We both smiled back and thanked him. I winced as he removed the IV's and wires. I hated needles with a passion. After he prescribed some pain medication for sorness and explained some possible symptoms, i got dressed and Mitch and I walked out the door, hand in hand.
"I really missed you when you were out."
"How long?"
"About... 3 days. They were absolute Hell."
I smiled and kissed him. He kissed back and whispered in my ear.
"I'm not supposed to say this, but... you're going to be attacked when you get home."
I laughed and nudged him.
"So appearantly I was missed not only by you?"
"Even Endera missed you haha! And she's not even a month old!"
I grinned and we made our way to the car. The ride back was filled with music from my favorite radio station, and the windows were rolled down all the way. I enjoyed the same thing Breanne did. We both loved sticking our heads out the window.
"Riley?" Mitch asked as we pulled into the driveway.
"Yeah Mitch?"
"Do you... still want to go to Canada with me?"
"Of course!"
As soon as i answered, his face filled with relief and happiness.
"How soon can we leave? I want to leave as soon as possible." I said with a smile. Not that I didn't love my brother or Breanne or even little Endera. It was just... I was sick of this place. and I wanted to start a life with Mitch. I wanted him to propose. I wanted kids. I wanted him in general.
"We can leave this evening if you'd like." He said with a smile. I shook my head enthusiastically.
"You just have to relax during the trip, ok? No lifting bags. No running everywhere. I don't want to see you get hurt again. Ok?"
"Yeah. Gotcha babe." I said, winking at him.
The rest of the evening was spent hugging and saying "goodbye"s and "I love you"s. I kissed little Endera on the top of her head and gave her one of my favorite necklaces. It was a small heart with a diamond in the middle. She would appreciate it when she gets older. Right now, she just smiled her toothless grin when it shined in the sunlight.
With a heavy heart, we both walked to the car. Mitch and i drove to the airport talking with so much excitement. We discussed about everything that would happen.
"What's your house like?"
"Well... it's two story. Big enough for us... and maybe a couple more."
"Are you saying what i think you're saying?"
"Riley..." he began. "I want to make a family... with you."
