Chapter 27- Mashed Potatoes & Lonesome

A/N- I am sorry for not writing, but I will be honest I am not going to make up some crappy excuse, I have an academic award dinner last night and I was also having a hard time figuring out where I want the next few chapters to go. Once again I am sorry and I love every single one of you❤️😍

It has been one week since I woke up and I have sent everyone home. Other than school and to sleep Alex is here, my friends also come and see me but not as much. It took me and hour to get Alex to go home but the he seen how tiered I was and left.

Sitting in my room I look around for something to do but find my self stumped, I have been continuing my PT but it still hurts to walk since not all my nerves are healed properly.

Soon a nurse walks in and takes my vitals before placing a menu down in front of me and leaving.

Mmmm looks like I'm having mashed potatoes again.

I have honestly eaten mashed potatoes for a week straight because everything else tastes horrible.

I reach over to grab the phone but I can't reach it, Alex had moved it earlier when he ordered my breakfast.

Sighing I sit up on the edge of my bed, I put my good leg down before my bad and then taking a step. Shakily I start walking toward the phone. Feeling my legs become weaker I try to grab onto something but nothing's in reach. I collapse, leaving me in the middle of my room with horrible leg pains and tears drowning my face. I try to reach for the nurse button but of course it's out of reach, using my hands and my good leg I push myself toward my bed, my leg still getting tiered due to the lack of activity.

Once I reach the button I press and wait pathetically for a nurse to come and help.

The door is soon pushed open loudly and I hear shuffling.

"Oh, honey what happened?" I hear the gentle voice of my dad say.

"I just tried to order my food, but apparently I'm not capable of doing anything." I sob.

Honestly this last week in the hospital is the most I've seen my dad in the last few years besides dinner time, and even now I only get to see him for small amounts of time.

He comes closer and helps me onto the bed before laying beside me and holding me.

"Why me dad?" I sob into his sleeve.

"Its just the world trying to prove how strong you are sweetie, it's fate. Sometimes fate is good and sometimes bad, you will make it through this and you will be ten times stronger then you were before." He hugs me tighter and rubs my hair gently.

"I don't want to be here anymore, I want to walk, go to school, go home." I say truthfully.

"I know sweetie but first you have to finish your PT, we will try to fit in some extra sessions so we can move your release forward. One more week, okay sweetie?" He looks at me for reassurance.

"Okay but can you call mom and ask her for dinner I don't think I can eat anymore mashed potatoes?" I giggle.

"Okay sweetie, I love you."

"I love you too dad."

After finish the spaghetti my mom made I grab my cellphone off the end table and call Alex.

"Are you okay, Princess?" Alex asks, a little worried.

"Don't worry, I'm fine I just wanted to hear your voice." I smile.

"I miss you, even if I only left four hours and thirty seven minutes ago, but who's counting?" He laughs, just hearing his laugh makes my smile widen.

"One week, babe."

"What happens in one week?" He asks curiously.

"One more week and then I'm out of this hell hole."

"WHAT!? That's amazing, how do you feel about it though?" He asks after his little excited outburst.

"I'm so excited. I will finally be able to go back to normal. And I will be able to cuddle with you without anyone barging into my room." I smile.

"That's definitely a plus but I'm just happy your coming home. Remember Princess, you'll never be alone, you will always have me." I feel tears prick my eyes. "Forever." He finishes quietly.

"Forever." I promise. "Can you sing to me?" I ask remembering the night back at the karaoke bar.

"Anything for you Princess just name a song."

"Dusk till dawn."

I hear some shuffling around and thin I hear music start followed but Alex's voice.

"Not tryna be in that, not tryna be cool, just tryna be in this tell me are you too."

I listen closely as my eyes become heavy.

"But you'll never be alone, I'll be with you dusk till dawn."

I fight to keep my eyes open but his soothing voice soon has my eyes fully shut.

"I love you princess."
