"Where is she" "I don't know, she said that she was going to be here soon" "she better get here soon" "calm down James, she'll be soon you don't have to get mad" "I just want to go home, I'm already sick of it here, I just really miss bed, I miss not having people constantly checking up on me" "well, your going  to have to wait because I'm going to be your personal nurse for the next couple of days" "what are you  talking about" "I'm going to be staying with you for a little while" "Cheree you really, really don't have to I'll be fine by myself" "but I want to look after you, plus I'm kinda of an expert on injured legs" she says pulling up her pants leg to show her knee brace "fine, have it your way"

Soon after Steffanie finally showed up to picked us. It was a little difficult for me trying to get in the car, I didn't know if I had to put my crutches in the car before I get in or after. "Here, let me help you" Cheree grabs my crutches before I got in "ahh, thanks" she gives my crutches back as I was do my seatbelt up.

After a car ride that was mostly with only a few jokes about my injury we finally got to my house. I got to my door when Cheree got out and started to have an argument with Steffanie. This is what I could hear from that. "What are you doing" "I'm going to stay with James for a couple of days" "is he forcing you to do" "no" "tell the truth, is he forcing you to stay with him" "he's not, this is my idea not his" "I'm just making sure" "making sure of what, he's been your friend for years, and now you are trying to accuse him of controlling me because according to you I can't make my own decisions, thanks Steff". Cheree slams the door and walks to me with her arms crossed and a scowl on her face "are you ok" "yeah, can we just get inside"

I unlocked the door and she immediately told me to sit on the the chair and pushes the table closer to me to put my leg on it, she turned on the TV and sat down next to. After ten minutes I felt my phone go off in my pocket. I pulled it out and saw that it was a text from Steffanie.

Steff: tell me the truth, are you forcing her to stay with you.
James: I promise you that I'm not.
Steff: she's been acting different and I just want to make sure you don't have anything to do with that.
James: I promise you Steff, that I don't I'm not and I will never force her to do anything.

"Who you're texting" "Steff" she moves away from me and looked at me with the same scowl on her face "why are  you talking to her" "cause she's making sure that I'm not making sure you're not getting healed against your will" "but, she now knows we're together, and know that you wouldn't do that" "yeah, but she's just making sure, I would do the same if I was her, maybe if you call her you'll see it that way" "no way in hell, not until she apologizes to me" "please Cheree" "fine, just because you said please". She got up and went to my bedroom and called Steffanie, after fifteen minutes she came back out with a giant smile on her face, sat down  and cuddled up with me "is everything okay" "yeah" she gives me a kiss on the cheek as my phone goes off again.

Steff: thank you

(Three days later)

I was waken by the smell of bacon, I walked out to the kitchen where Cheree was cooking breakfast. I walked up behind her and hugged her "is all of this for me" "as if, you're already fat enough" I backed up and put on a fake disgusted face "how dare you talk to me like that in my house" "about that" she turns around to face me "I was thinking last night about moving in with you". I stood there dumbfounded for a minute, Cheree started to wave in my face "earth to James" "do want you to" "yes" "have you told Steff" "yeah, she's fine with it, it sounds like you don't want me to" "I do, but right now isn't the time" "what do you mean" "I mean that, I'm just going to be annoying with my injury, and if we wait I could help you move" "why do you have to be right about everything" "trust me, I'm not"
