A Different Kind of Addiction - COMPLETE

Hey Guys

2 weeks later

Toni POV

I am lying on the swinging sofa in the garden of the hospital. Thinking about what has happened to me recently.

My brother died, I lost my sanity, I gained most of my sanity back, I fell in love, I was kidnapped by my girlfriends brother and now I'm recovering from my injuries. 

What has my life come to? The funny things is this is the happiest I have been since my brother died. It is hard losing everyone you love. I used to think that  should keep my feelings inside so people couldn't use it as an advantage against me. But I was wrong. My best friends, my second family, were always there for me even when I didn't want them to be, they helped me when I felt helpless. They dragged me home when I was too drunk to remember my own name, they helped me gain back my confidence after the crash. And now they help me walk up and down getting the strength back in my legs. 

No matter how strong you want to be, if you have friends who are willing to help you, let them because not all people are lucky enough to get back on their feet after bad shit has happened.

"Shouldn't you be in bed right now?" A voice asks me. I turn and see a tall guy with ice blue hair and blue eyes, leaning on the wall next to me. 

"Most likely." I say looking at him.

"Who are you?" I ask.

"I am Gale Summers, Jason Mitchell is my boyfriend."    Oh the curly kid that's afraid of me.

"Oh right. Why are you here?" I say. He chuckles and walks closer to me.

"They guys are here and they are looking for you." he says.

"Okay" I say looking back at the sky.

"So wanna get back to them or are you planning to let them lose their minds thinking you were kidnapped again?" I speculate for a second

"Are you really thinking about it?" he laughs out. I smile.

"Well I guess i should get back then." I say. I sit up and use my crutches to push myself into a standing position. I begin to hobble slowly to the room.

"Do you need help?" he asks as he follows

"I'm not eighty I can fucking walk on my own." I look at him and he is smiling.

We get to the room and the second I hop in their is a chorus of shouting.

"Alright Alright. I cannot hear everyone at once. Tell me you missed me individually" I get into the bed and cover myself up.

"Toni. That is the fourth time this week. You need to stay in bed and rest." the doctor says

"I'm rested. I need to move my body or I will rust. You cannot keep me captive." I say

"If you want to come home quicker, you need to follow the rules." Ava says politely. 

"Home huh. You moving in Ave?" I say winking, she laughs and blushes

"Seriously babe. If you behave you can come home next week." Mika says. I look at her.

"I missed you." I say smiling. 

"I missed you as well Tee."

"I am pretty sure I missed you more my love." she smiles. 

"That is not the point of this conversation. Toni you need to behave yourself." Asia says. I put my head in my hands and sigh.

"So you want me to sit here all day everyday. Until some nurse say, Its time for your daily exercise, then you want me to eat gross hospital food and watch myself get older."

"YES" everyone says including the nurses and doctors. 

"Whatever." I say taking out my phone and going on instagram. 

"Oh come on don't be like that Toni."

"We just want you to come back."

"I'm sure you can survive."

"Its is only a couple of days"

"Please Toni." 

I just put my headphones in and close my eyes. I open them and everyone is still sitting there staring at me. I stick my tongue out at them and I close my eyes again.

Next week

"Toni. I am very proud of you, you have behaved very well recently." The doctor says.

"Yeah yeah. Can I leave now?" I say grumpily.

"Yes do you want to wait for your friends to get here?" 

"No I wanna leave right now." I snarl. The doctor laughs. I hate that he doesn't get offended when I insult him.

"Okay, the clothes your friends brought are next to you and all you have to do is give the receptionist this card when you leave. You need to go for a walk twice a day and sleep with you legs elevated until they are fully healed. Try not to use your arms to much and no strain. In 2 weeks you  will have to come back to get checked over and hopefully you won't need your crutches anymore, or the bandage on your arm." he says

"Uh I have to come back here." I say huffing.

"I will leave you to shower and dress. The crutches are there." he says pointing to a corner in the room. He leaves the room.

I hobble to the shower room and wash. I run my hand through my hair and decide I need a hair cut seen as I haven't had one since before Mika and I met.

I dress into my blue jeans, white shirt and denim jacket. I put the sunglasses and beanie on, grab the crutches, note and leave.

I hand my note to the receptionist and she waves me off. I walk out into the street and breath in. I hobble to my car, which Mika brought over for my in preparation for when I leave, I put my crutches in the passenger seat and drive home.

I pull into the driveway and park the car. I get out and grab my crutches. I hobble over to the door and knock. I lean against the wall for support as I wait for someone to open the door. 

The door opens and someone screams.

"Holy fuck, I didn't think I looked that bad." I say. Stephanie is standing but the door in shorts and a bra. 

"And why are your tits out in my house Stephanie." I say. 

"What are you doing here Toni?" she says with her hands over her mouth

"I'll leave if you want."

"No no no no Come in you nut job." I walk into the house. Everyone looks like they just woke up. They look up as I walk in. Charlie chokes on the food he is eating, Ava rubs his back, Asia walks into the kitchen door and Mika just stares at me.

"Hey guys" I say. Charlie has stopped choking, Ava is still rubbing his back, Asia is now rubbing her arm and Mika is still staring at me.

"Okay while you all get used to me being here I am going to sit down because my legs hurt." I say sitting on my armchair.
