~Trigger Warning: Mentions of abuse and self harm~

It had been another week. Naomi was next to go home. She was probably going to be going home soon and could walk around, but the nurses wanted to keep her at the hospital for a few more nights to make sure the lung was healed and the incision wasn't infected.

The twins were getting stir-crazy, so I volunteered to take them to the park. Naomi was currently watching them while I spoke to Will. I found myself in his room a lot. I would talk to him, about literally anything, I would tell him about the disgusting food, to tv show theories, and about how much I miss him.

"Hey, Will," I smiled.

Silence.

"Gods, I really, really fucking miss you. Like, it's scary how much I miss you,"

Silence. I place my hand on his, stroking at the tan freckled skin.

"I keep looking at pictures of you through my phone because I'm too fucking afraid I'll forget your smile,"

Silence. I stopped the tear that wanted to fall out.

"I hate how fucking sappy I am because of you, but I really love you, you asshat,"

Silence. I let out a sigh and kissed his hand.

"Please get better soon, please, I don't know how much longer I can go without hearing your voice,"

Silence.

"Artemis reminds me the most of you, honestly, always taking care of people,"

Silence. I released his hand.

"I just wanted to see you, but I promised the girls I'd take them somewhere. They've been through a lot, Athena keeps expecting Tim, Artimes never wants to see him again, but told me if he did, she'd be okay because her sister would be okay, she's too sweet for this world,"

Silence. I kissed his forehead. 

"I love you, Will,"

Then I walked out into Naomi's room, she was braiding Athena's hair. I could tell Naomi was ready to get out to but still listened to the orders of the staff.

"Ready?" I said, a fake smile plastered on my face. The two girls skipped over to me, nodding. 

"The hospital has car seats, I'm sure they'll let you rent two, if not, just make sure they're buckled in as well as possible," Naomi requested. I assured her I would before looking down at the girls, I held out my hands and each girl took one, skipping along beside me.

"Tell your mom goodbye," I told them. They both waved back saying goodbye before I nodded towards Naomi and she smiled back.

We asked for car seats, and a very nice nurse, Kayla, gave us two. Another person helped us carry them down, seeing as I had my hands full, I felt bad for taking time out of the woman's day, but I wasn't going to risk letting the girls go, in case they ran off.

When I caught sight of the baby blue truck, I almost cried. I truly almost broke down into tears. Since there were two more people, I had held it in. They dropped off the seats and I told the girls to put at least one hand on the side of the truck.

They nodded their heads as I opened the door. I took in the scene of the truck; the truck I swore I hated, the truck that no matter how much I hated it, found myself riding in to get to work, this damn baby blue, beat up, stick shift truck that I swore up and down I hated, I loved.

I loved it so fucking much. I loved everything about it

I loved the arguments that we shared, the awkward first kiss we had, the pecks on the cheeks, the damn smell of the leather seats that were always so fucking hot, I loved the obvious use of the steering wheel, I loved the radio that only every played one station, I loved the stain on the floor from only the gods know what.
