Everyone finally left and Isabelle is finally getting the rest she deserves with the boy she loves

She elevates her foot as Corbyn puts her crutches away

He lays down and gets as close as he can to her

"I love you" she whispers

"I love you too. How do you feel"

"I feel really happy"

"You deserve all the happiness in the world"

"Did I ever tell you how much I love you"

"A few times. Are you actually tired or did you really just want to get out of the party"

"Both. I was tired of the party"

"I see. So were you surprised"

"Yeah super surprised but seeing my brother surprised me more"

"Your dad planned that for a while"

"Really?"

"Yeah. Well do you have any hospital stories"

"I'm too tired to tell them oof alliteration right now I'm really sorry"

"It's okay don't worry. Hey maybe I can read something to you"

"Isn't that my job"

"Well normally yes but these past months I've been working on my reading skills and I want to show you. I can't read as fast as I want but I'm getting there"

"I'm proud of you. Show me what you've practiced."

"Okay I'll find a book"

Corbyn looks around Isabelle's bookshelf for something that looks simple to read

Corbyn is dyslexic and has a very hard time reading. The reason why Isabelle is always reading to him is because he's not confident when he reads.

However, while she has been in the hospital, at night when Corbyn would stay, he was so worried something would happen to her that he picked up a magazine from next to her and started reading

"I GOT IT" he says excitedly going back to Isabelle

"What book is it"

"Well for a small start it's just a small picture book"

"Just read whatever you feel comfortable reading. I just want to see"

"I'm just scared"

"Just take your time and breathe"

"Okay I'll start now"

He opens the book and starts to read. To Corbyn he thinks he's doing awful but to Isabelle it's amazing for him.

He finishes the book and shyly shuts it

"So"

"It was so goood Corbyn I'm so proud of you that was amazing"

"Are you sure"

"Yes I am 100% sure that was perfect"

"I've been trying really hard lately. My mom even got me a reading teacher he's really nice"

"What's his name"

"His names Daniel. So far we've only read picture books he says that I'm doing really good and we might even read chapter books"

"Is it just you and him?"

"No there's two other boys. Their names are Jack and Zach. Anyways Zach is further behind than me cause he's only a freshman"

"What about Jack"

"He's a sophomore. He technically should be a junior like us but he failed 6th grade before middle school"

"Oh. I would be so mad if that happened"

"Yeah me too. Can I ask you a question"

"Of course go right ahead"

"Am I dumb? Cause I'm in all advance classes except reading"

"No you're not dumb at all."

"But I can't read"

"Really cause you just read to me and it sounded pretty amazing to me"

"I guess"

"Hey look at me. You are not dumb you are super super smart okay"

"Okay"

"Now can we please sleep my head hurts and I just want to sleep"

"Of course good night I love you"
