Wrong Number

Chapter 12

~Mia~

I'm so excited. It's been two weeks and I'm finally leaving the hospital tomorrow.

I'm mostly recovered and I'm able to get up and move around on my own again. Of course, I'm not aloud to go back to my apartment but I'm fine with that. There's no way I'm living on my own again after that.

I'm moving back in with my mom until I finish school. She's so excited to have me back home for a little while. She told me that she's been cleaning up my old bedroom and setting it up with all my stuff for when I get out of the hospital.

I'm just happy to get out of here tomorrow. I'm sick of it here and I really want to get back to my college classes. That's weird to say but I've realized how much I miss it. I'm just excited to graduate soon and find a job.

Spencer has been texting me every day to check on me and some days he called me when he got home from work.

I really like him and I want to see him again. He told me he wanted to come visit me in the hospital again but he doesn't have time to fly to Connecticut because of his job. I wish he lived here Connecticut so we were closer.

I finish packing my clothes in my bag then turn around and see Zach standing in the doorway.

"What the hell, Zach. You scared me." I said, slightly jumping back.

Zach laughed, "sorry. I was trying to surprise you."

"Well, it worked. Anyway, I thought you were leaving to go back to college today?" I said.

"No, I leave tomorrow morning. And did you really think I would leave without saying goodbye to you?"

"I don't know. I didn't think you were able to make it over here before you left." I said as I sat down on my bed.

"Mia, you know I would never leave without saying goodbye." Zach walked over to the bed and sat down beside me.

"So, are you excited to leave tomorrow and finally get out of here?" Zach asked me.

"Yes. Very excited." I said, falling back onto the bed and staring up at the ceiling. Zach copied me and groaned as he laid down beside me.

"Well, mom is very excited too. She's been working on your room all week and decorating it." Zach laughed. I shook my head and laughed. Of course she was. She's mom.

"So how's lover boy?" Zach asked. I smacked him on the shoulder.

"We're not dating, you know. We're just talking. He texts me everyday to check on me though and it's so sweet." I say, smiling just thinking about him.

"You really like him, don't you?"

"I don't know." I lie, smiling even more as I picture Spencer's face.

Zach rolls over on the bed to face me and props his head up on his arm. "Mia, don't lie to me, I know you like him."

"Okay, I like him a lot but I can't just tell him I like him. I want to spend more time with him but he lives in Virginia and he's always working. He's a freaking FBI agent. Which is really hot by the way and I wish I could see him chase down bad guys."

Spencer was all I could think about. I needed to get a life... A life with Spencer...

"Oh my God, Mia." Zach said, falling back down onto the bed and looking up at the ceiling.

"What!" I yelled and Zach laughed.

"So you've been talking to him every day? And he's always checking on you?" Zach asked.

"Yeah." I answer.

"Well, he obviously likes you too or else he wouldn't be texting you every day, asking you how you're doing."

"Maybe he just wants to check on me because he cares. Maybe it's part of his job." I said as I checked my phone to see if Spencer had texted me yet.

"It's not part of his job. And yeah, he's checking on you because he cares. He cares about you and he likes you. Why do you need me to help you figure this out?"

"I don't. I just... uhhh," I roll over on my stomach and burry my face into the blankets. "I don't know, Zach. I just want to see him again."

"You could ask him to come visit you." Zach said.

I rolled back over onto my back, "actually, he asked me if we could meet up sometime after I got out of the hospital and I am leaving tomorrow."

"Does he know that?" Zach asked.

"Yeah, he knows but we talked about it like two weeks ago. What if he forgot?" I said, worrying that maybe he did forget.

"Just remind him."

"I guess I could, but I don't want to sound desperate." I said.

"How is that sounding desperate?"

"I don't know." I groaned, burying my face back into the blankets. I'm a mess.

"You're so difficult, Mia. You know that, right?" Zach asked and I rolled my eyes.

"Now let's watch our favorite movie before I have to leave." Zach said.

I quickly lifted my face out from the blankets. "Titanic?" I asked.

"No!" Zach yelled.

I laughed, then we both said at the same time, "Jurassic Park."

Zach and I tried to get comfortable in this very uncomfortable hospital bed. We cuddled up next to each other just like we used to when we were younger and started the movie.

I checked my phone every five minutes waiting for Spencer's text. Then finally halfway into the movie, he texted.

Spencer: Hey, Mia. How are you?
