The Boy | Corbyn Besson WDW story

Chapter 16

Isabelle's POV**
I had a minor surgery but it still hurt like god knows what. My head was pounding, i had the worst headache on the world. I turned off the tv and took a nap soon waking up to the door slamming shut.
I- Ouch! What the hell?
C- Oh my gosh, babe i am so sorry i didn't mean to make that much noise.
I- it's okay, can you ask nurse jenna when i'm getting my next round of antibiotics and painkillers?

He nodded as he left, but as he left i saw something. Roses, lots of them hidden behind his back as he walked out of the room. My heart was warm and i suddenly felt the butterflies leave my stomach.

I'm always nervous when it comes to needles and that antibiotics come through an IV. So i'm always hoping to be asleep when they come so im drowsy.

Corbyn has returned with Nurse Sandy, she had some stuff to tell me.

5 minutes.
300 seconds.
300,000 milliseconds.

That's how long it took, that how long Nurse Sandy took to tell me some of the most shocking news of my life.

My mom...
She's here.

NS: Isabelle stay calm.
I: no i don't think i heard you correctly
C: isabelle please don't panic.
I: you- you said that my mom, my mom who was pronounced dead from a heart attack 3 years ago. i-is here. now? no-no that's impossible.
NS: Shes in the lobby, it's a great way for you to get out of bed and build your strength.
I: why can't she come to me?
NS: Here i got ya.

Nurse Sandy then proceeded to help me out of bed and stabilize me that way i could walk to the lobby. This was one of the hardest things i could do considering i was still in tremendous pain.

As we made our way to the lobby i saw something unexpected, my mom wasn't here. But the love of my life was. Standing by the nurses station with 12 roses and, well a ring.

I knew he wasn't dumb enough to propose so i didn't expect it. Instead what he was warmed my heart.
C: Happy 1 year anniversary baby.
Y: i have to admit i did not expect this. Also, what's with the ring?
C: Isabella maria ross, will you make me the happiest man and marry me, someday.
Look, i know that right now isn't the best time, we're still young with us being twenty. Well, we have time. So i don't expect it to be anytime in the near future. But i hope it is indeed, someday.
So, what do you say? someday?

I was speechless, i had no words. i had no idea what to say. He said someday. but maybe that someday won't even come for me, so what? we do this for nothing? I cant accept his proposal. or can i?

Just then everything went black, i started smelling gas.
I: Nurse Sandy something's not right.
NS: Isabelle what's wrong?
I: why does it small like gas in a hospital? i cant breathe.
NS: SOMEONE GET A GURNEY, SHES SEIZING.

Then everything went black. i couldn't see anything. I couldn't control my movements.

NS: STABILIZE HER HEAD, GET HER STABLE AND BACK TO HER ROOM. AND GET CORBYN AWAY FROM HER RIGHT NOW.

C: ISABELLE !

i could see now, i was on the floor. Blood to my side.  I pointed to it, that way Nurse Sandy was well aware.

NS: damn it she tore her stitches, take her to the PR and get her stitched up. I'll tell Kaytonell what happened.

Before i knew it i was back in the same old hospital room.
Beeps every 2.36 seconds and the bright sun coming in from the southeast window.

C: you're awake.
I: Hey.
C: how you feeling?
I: i feel like i owe you an answer from earlier.
C: no, take your time. i'll be right here. i love you.

He said it.
3 words.
8 letters.

I: i love you too.

A smile spread across both of our faces.
We were happy.
Oh how i wish it stayed this way.

And... It did.

We hear a knock on the door, making our heads shoot up.
I: Hey look who it is.
DK: i hope that's a good thing cause i have good news Isabelle, great news.
I: okay, let's hear it.
DK: your cancer is gone, all of it. once your stitches heal, well run an MRI. and if everything comes back clear. Well, you can go home.

I've waited three years to hear those exact words.
"you can go home"
I'll say i wasn't as excited, cause i dont really have a home. This- well this hospital has been my home for the last couple of years.

I looked over at Corbyn, his face had no emotion. It was almost blank.

I: Corb, baby you okay.
i said while running his hand.
C: i don't know what to say.
I: yeah i'm right there with ya.

We smiled at each other.
One of the best moments of my life.
