Escaping Life

Chapter 34: Get use to it

Nicole pov

Today was the day I was going home. Wishing I could just happily walk out without any problems, wasn't possible. While everyone gathered their things and mine, I was in my wheelchair.

"Well you will have therapy in the morning every weekday and on the weekends you may rest. But therapy is 9 to 2"

"So will we have to come here or another building?" My mother asked the doctor

"You will have to go to another building. Here is the place and the address. But you will start your therapy on Thursday, which is tomorrow"

I put my head in hands, wanting to cry about all of this but I knew, crying wasn't going to change a thing. After my mom signed my release papers , we all went home.

Driving to the house was a silent ride. The only thing you could hear was traffic. I sat thinking just ending it all , but I looked around and seen everyone who stayed by my side and I looked in the back of us and I seen troy driving the other car. Everyone is rooting for me. Telling me 'I can do it' and 'don't give up'. I don't know what to do at this point. It feels like I'm depressing and there's a lump in my throat that just won't go away. We finally get to the house and everyone is getting the bags out the cars. Rayman then gets me and carries me to the living room

"Ray, why you just didn't get the wheelchair?" I asked as he placed me on the couch

"Because I knew you wasn't gonna be able to get on the stairs and two , makes like easier" he said as everyone came in with all the bags. Everyone put up their bags and came and sat with me in the living room

"How am I going to keep going back upstairs and downstairs?" I asked

"Well u can sleep with me and everyone could take turns helping" August said, leaning against the couch

"Yea , that's a possible way" My mama said leaning over the couch

It is currently 12:00 and were all just sitting here watching tv. I really cant do anything, I can only ask everyone else to do it but I really dont like that at all. Sometimes I just wish I can restart the time over and never been at that place at that time.

"Can we have a game day today" I asked, breaking the silence as everyone turned they head towards me

"Ok all of y'all gone break y'all neck looking at me" I said as everyone chuckled

"What u wanna play , because you know I stay with the heat" Corey said as he popped his imaginary collar

"How about a game system, card games, board games..." I said , spitting out ideas

"Anything else you want in particular" Christian asked as he got up

"Wait I wanna go!" Tyga said as he got up

"Well if u wanna tag along u better come on now" My mamma said

"Shiddddd" they said in unison except for Chris as I laughed

"I'll stay with Nicole , to make sure she alright and to keep her company" He said as I continued to be on my phone.

"Alright, be safe" My mamma said as she closed the door

As I was on my phone, Chris came in front of me, took my phone, and started to try to make our tongues wrestle

"Wait ..w-woah stop" I said as I pushed him off of me. He was just standing there. He then sat on the couch and laid his head on my lap.

"What is up with you?" I asked

"Nicole.. I .. I just want you to be with me. I know you got August but he doesn't have to know right? It can just be us on th..."

"Chris. No. Im not going behind his back and chill with his "brother". I cant" I said with quotations around brother.

"Why you won't give me a chance? I just want you to be happy with me. "

"I'm happy with August. He hasn't done anything to me to hurt me and what if the boys find out. Then what? What if my parents find out. Wh..." I said before i was cut off with him kissing me.

"What if they don't have to know?" He said against my lips.

"Chris. I..I can't. Then if I cheat then I'll feel bad about myself and I'll have August looking stupid" I told him wiping his tears away.

"Ok. OK . I understand. Just one thing."

"Yes"

"If he breaks your heart, can I get a chance?"

"I'll think about it ok? Just know its not a yes nor a no" I told him

"Alright"

Thinking about what he asked repeated in my head. What if he does cheat on me or break my heart. We been with each other through a lot of problems. But chris also helped me too and the boys. All of them except Chris and August are like brothers to me. Yes, Chris feels like a brother to me but he just has a love spot in my heart for some reason. Its like Chris wants to fight over me but he can't right now. But he won't give up.

20 minutes later and everyone came back with games. Chris was on the floor while I played with his hair.

"Took y'all long enough." Chris said As they came in the living room.

"We was looking for games that we already didn't have like a VR or a Nintendo switch" Troy said

"I hope y'all got hella games." I said

"They had me. Of course they gone get hella games. Oh and we stopped by chick-fil-a so that's why it took so long." Corey said

"Where is it?"

"In my hands" August said as he closed the door and locked it.

"Which game you wanna play first?" My mamma asked me as she came to sit by me.

"It really doesn't matter. At least I beat Corey over there"I said throwing shade

"OK now. Get beat again.Can't beat me in any game" he said

"Alright we gone see today" I said laughing.

•••

The night went great everyone had a good time and it was filled with alot of laughter. I beat Corey in a game and he beat me in some also. One thing that kinda got my attention was August on his phone most of the time. Then when I seen he had a facetime call he faked it like he "had to use the bathroom". I kinda got upset but Chris came and cheered me up. Now that I think about it , I might give him a chance.
