The sudden and unexpected death of Toni's last family member shakes her deeper than ever. She begins to rely on risking herself and drinking not to think about it. She doesn't ever seem to be content without a drink in her hand. Will a sudden encou...
"I got bored of being in that place, so I came home." I say.
"But we were coming to get you." she says
"Yes but I didn't want to wait so I discharged myself and drove here."
"What if something had happened to you? We would have no idea where you went." Asia says
"Before you lot say you are happy to see me you are thinking about negative things. Negative is my thing okay, find a different approach." I say smirking. All of a sudden everyone has their arms around me and are sobbing or smiling widely. I grin at them and hug them all back.
"Took your damn time."
"I couldn't believe it. I had imagined you sitting slouched in that chair for so long I thought that I was dreaming when I saw you ." Mika says sobbing smiling.
"Well I'm here princess. Believe it." I state.
I tell them what the doctor said about me coming back and the daily exercise and stuff. They all listen with smiles on their faces, clearly just happy that I was home.
"Okay. So we will all try and pitch in and help you with your exercising."
"I already told that Summers guy that I don't need fucking help." I say grumpily.
"Yes you do. Stop being a pain in the ass." Charlie says. I huff and stand, using my crutches. I walk past them.
"Where are you going" Steph asks
"To my room." I say and hobble slowly up the stairs. I walk into my bedroom and stand by the door.
It looks untouched. Like it hasn't been used since I last slept in it. The bed was tidy and everything was a I had left it that night. I walk around I lay down on the pillows. I breath in and I smell Mika, she was the last person asleep in the bed so it was bound to smell like her anyways. I smile.
I have missed her so much. I missed holding her in my arms and kissing her. I missed her falling asleep all over me and me having to carry her up the stairs. I missed all of her but I didn't want to push her too far because even though she said she wasn't, she might be mad at me for leaving her behind with just a letter. Even if it wasn't my intention to get kidnapped and beaten half to death, I still tried to leave her.
I walk into my closet and look in the compartment behind my shoes. The gift bag was still there. She still hadn't found it. I smile, good.
I hear shuffling in my room and I quickly take the contents out of the bag and shove it into my pockets.
I walk in and sat on my bed is a nervous but happy looking Mika.
"Hey shortcake. What's up." I say. She looks up at me with tears in her eyes.
"You have no idea how many times I sat in here praying that everything that happened was a dream and that you were going to walk into the room and say something stupid. I wished you were just at work or in a bar. I wouldn't even care if you were kissing someone when I found you, as long as you were okay. And now you are here. You are really here" she says. I walk over and sit next to her.
"Look I meant what I said in the hospital. I am so sorry Mika. I didn't want to leave you and I defiantly didn't want to hurt you like I did." I apologize looking at my hands.
"Quit apologizing. You left to save me and not only that but you got kidnapped and beaten up really bad. All so that I could keep the money that I inherited from my father. Toni if anything I should be apologizing for not looking for you. For not know that you wouldn't voluntarily leave me." she says. I look up confused. I use my finger to lift her head up.
"Don't you dare. I specifically told you not to look for me. I told you. I am so glad that you found me and you came up with a plan to get me out of there. I had already given up. Because I knew that even if you gave him the money he would've found a way to kill me. I am proud of you. I love you and that will never ever change." I say and I hug her. She sobs into my arms.
"What can I do to make you believe I will never leave you again princess?" I ask her and she sits up.
"Let me move in here and I can rent out my house across the road." she asks. I think.
"Okay but only on one condition." I say and she tilts her head at my slightly. I pull out the ring box from my pocket and open it.
"Only if you marry me." I say. She stares between the ring and me.
"I would be on one knee, but I wouldn't be able to get back up. Mikayla Thompson, Will you marry me?" I ask her. She put her hands over her mouth and tears stream down her cheeks.
"Oh my god. Yes. Yes I will marry you." she says shaking and bouncing up and down. I slide the ring onto her finger.

She squeals and jumps into my arms. I hug her tightly.
"Holy shit we are getting married." she says.
"Wait when did you even buy the ring?" she asks stopping jumping for a second.
"Do you remember that night that you teased me and fell asleep?" she nods
"Well when I jumped out of the window I went to buy you and engagement ring because I knew in that moment that I wanted to be with you for the rest of my life." I say and she starts crying again.
"Why are you crying shortcake." I ask hugging her again.
"You knew you wanted to marry me even before you left. I didn't even find the ring. You could've died and this whole time you were ready to marry me. I love you so much." she says hugging me tightly.
"Well we should probably break the new to the others." she says thinking.
"I'll take care of it." I say standing. I walk to the door and poke my head out.
"I AM GETTING MARRIED YOU BITCHES!" I yell with a grin on my face. I step back in the room and lock the door.
"Now I wanna chill with my fiancé if that's alright with you." I say, my hair falls into my eyes.
"Of course, sit on the bed and I will cut your hair." my eyes widen and I back away slowly.
"What don't you trust me, fiancé?" she asks picking up some scissors from my desk. I shake my head and she laughs.
"Stop being a baby, I cut Charlie's hair while you were gone."
"No wonder he looks like a pirate." she shakes her head at me and grabs the barber box from under the bed.
