Chapter 23

~ Brianna

Matt was talking to me for a while. I just returned gestures and did different hand movements. It was ridiculous how I couldn't even talk to him. The tubes still hurt like hell. It wasn't long before Matt fell asleep. He's literally always tired. I could imagine why. He wants to make every single one of his fans happy. It's probably a lot of pressure. Poor baby. A nurse came in to clean my cuts and change the bandages. She carefully removed them. I looked down at my wrists. I never really did look at them. They were uneven, scraggly, and somewhat deep. The nurse poured peroxide on them, which stung a little, then wrapped clean bandages on them.

"Do you need anything?"

I shook my head. She checked the tubes before leaving the room. I sighed and looked at them. Still viciously pumping. Each pump was worst than the last. It felt like something was eating me. Worst. Feeling. Ever. Soon enough the doctor came in to check on me.

"Ms. Brianna Foster?"

I nodded slowly.

"So, we are gonna have you out of here in about a week."

I smiled. This was very very good news.

"It's just that you can't talk for about a week after we release you. Could you do that?"

I did a thumbs up.

"Great!"

She looked back at Matt, who had just made a snoring noise.

"Is that your boyfriend?"she asked.

I nodded then sighed.

"You're one lucky girl. He really cares about you."

I smiled. He does care.

I woke up in Brianna's hospital room. I must of dozed off. She was on her phone, probably texting or something.

"Hey Bri," I yawned and stretched.

These seats are uncomfortable.

"What time is it?"

She looked down at her phone and started typing. I heard my text tone and pulled my phone out of my pocket.

my baby💝: 2:36pm

"Hahaha thanks."

my baby💝: Guess what? I get to leave this place in a week, but I'm not allowed to talk for about a week after I leave...

"That's amazing!"

She looked at her stomach and sniffled.

"It's okay Brianna. You'll be better in no time!" I said, walking over to her.

She clicked the power button on her phone. Her lock screen was of us at our date. I smiled at it. Her home screen was of Connor Franta. I gave her funny look, making her smile and blush.

"You like O2L?" I asked.

She made a heart shape with her hands. I guess she does. I chuckled.

"When you're done and out of here, would you like to meet the o2l guys?"

She had this outrageous grin on her face and she was nodding vigorously.

"Okay! Okay!"

I kissed her cheek and went to sit back on chair.
