Can I Trust Again? A Woodland Demars Fanfiction

We're here for you!

Lexy woke up with a headache. "Ugh! My head." She sat up holding her head in her hands. She looked up and saw Natalie dozing in the recliner. As she looked around the room she looked at the clock and saw it was 4:45.

Lexy's POV

I can't believe that Coffee Express is gone! There's no way it survived the fire and explosion. Where will I work now? I don't even remotely know where to start! Gosh darn it! Why is my life so messed up? I'm such a problem. How many times has Nat missed work because of me? And it seems that I'm in the hospital or at home more often then not. This is so frustrating! I'm so stupid!! How did I not see the signs before that Kent wasn't who he said he was? You're such an idiot Lex! Jeez! "You're awake!" I looked over and saw Nat sitting up. I gave her a small smile. "Yeah. I've been awake for about 10 minutes. You were dozing and I didn't want to wake you up." Nat opened her mouth to say something when there was a knock on the door. A nurse stepped inside, "I have some visitors for Miss Carmichael." Nat nodded her head, "Let them in." I looked at Nat very confused. The nurse opened the door and I watched as Pat walked in with Woods close behind. My breath got caught in my throat. "How are you doing Lexy?" Pat asked. He looked so worried and relieved to see me. He's so sweet! I'm glad that he's my friend! I mustered a smile, "I'm okay Pat. I have a headache bug other than that I feel fine." I looked over at Woods who was standing a little behind Pat. He seemed a little nervous for some reason. I hid my slight confusion and gave Pat another reassuring smile. "How are you two doing?" I asked. "Better knowing that you are okay." Pat said. Woods shrugged, "I'm doing." I could tell he was just trying to be funny but it sounded like he was hiding something. What is it? This time I couldn't hide my confusion. Pat started chatting with me and Nat talking about some different things. Woods seemed to relax after a little while. Soon there was a knock on the door. The nurse stepped in again, "Matthias is here to see Miss Carmichael." I smiled, "You can let him in." I watched as Matthias walked in the room. He gave me a comforting smile. "How are you Lex?" He asked as he gave me a hug. "Aside from a headache I'm fine." I told him. "Amanda will come tomorrow with Luna. She didn't want to overwhelm you." I nodded, "I appreciate it. So what did you want to talk to me about?" We all looked at him expectantly. "Amanda, Nat, and I have been doing some thinking and we both agreed that it would be good for you to be surrounded by people who care for you and that you are comfortable with. And you are currently out of a job so what do you think about working at Hi 5?" My jaw dropped and tears formed in my eyes. I was not expecting this. "You really mean it? You would do that for me?" I asked. He and Nat nodded, "Of course! We love you and are here for you always!" Matt said with encouragement. I started crying with joy and because I realized just how much they really love me. "I would love to Matt!" I managed to say. Pat was doing a happy dance and Woods had the biggest smile on his face. They all embraced me in a warm and loving group hug. I finally stopped crying and we all talked for a good hour before the nurse came in and said I needed my rest. The guys all said goodbye and started walking out the door. Not even 5 minutes later I got a text from Patrick.
"Can I come back tomorrow with sam and Catherine?"

"Sure Pat. That would be fine lol"

I giggled. Pat could be so adorable at times. I can't remember the last time I had a friend like Pat. It's been a long time that's for sure! I got lost in my thoughts thinking about what my new job will be like and how awesome it's gonna be seeing my nee friends more often. Without realizing it I started thinking about Woods. He has been acting differently around me lately and I don't know why. Should I talk to him about it? No, it's probably just me. My imagination made up different scenarios of Woods and I in the future. I couldn't help but blush. I looked over at Nat and thankfully she wasn't paying attention to me but was watching something on her phone. I sighed. I am so impatient to get out of the hospital  already. I'd rather be at home with a headache for a day or so and then jump into a new routine at Hi 5 Studios then to be stuck in this super uncomfortable bed for days on end needlessly, my butt is starting to go numb from being on this uncomfortable mattress for so dang long. Hopefully I can go home tomorrow. I turned on the tv and started surfing through the channels until one of my favorite shows came up on the screen. Diners  Drive ins, and Dives. I sat back and got as comfortable as I could on the bed. I was soon getting texts on my phone from everyone. I smiled as I answered their different questions and even chuckled at one of Connor's cheesy jokes. Around 9 I turned off the tv and laid back in bed and closed my eyes. It took awhile but I eventually started drifting off to sleep. My last thoughts were of being with my new friends
