Look Up At The Sky

Chapter 23

“Are you all clear with everything now?” Stella asked looking at me and Lilly with a bright smile.

“Yes, thank you so much.” I replied equally happy.

“How about you repeat what I said before the two of you are on your way just so we all can be sure you know everything.” She said calm, still smiling a little.

“I need to make sure she rests for the next two to three days and not up and running like she usually is. If she's feeling a lot of pain, I can just give her and aspirin and that should do the trick, if it doesn't I should call here and ask for help. I also need to make sure she eats and stays hydrated like always.” When I was done Stella nodded reassuring that I had everything right.

“Okey, everything seems to be right. Now off you go love.” She took a step forward and gave me a hug which was completely okey with me. During my time visiting Lil, Stella always took some of her time sitting in there with me just to talk or keep me company. She's one of the sweetest people I have ever met and I'm very thankful to have met her and had her in my life.

“Yes, we better go now. Thank you so much again and maybe we'll see you soon.” I said laughing a little and then turning around ready to walk out the door.

“Maybe, hopefully not in this building then.” I heard her say after me with humor in her voice.

We went out from the hospital and started running towards the car and jumped inside it to hide from the pouring rain outside. Lilly was a bit tired and fell asleep on the way home whilst I was trying to keep the car on the road. All the tough raining made it a bit hard to steer it properly. Concentration-face game strong. Did I just type that? Yes, yes I did, now get over it..

It was so much longer until we were home when I realised that this would be the first time Lilly would be home for a crazy amount of time. Sam had “allowed” me to take her to her real home which both Lilly and I was more than happy about. I wonder if she'll like what I've done to the place.. When she lived with Sam I took a lot of time cleaning, sorting out things, some minor redecorating in the living room, even did some in her room.

Pete had been to an old friend's house that had a son and he had grown tired of his bed so his parents had bought him a new one. First off, how does one – grow tired – of a bed? Second, why would ones parents buy a new bed for that reason? Anyhow, after Pete had briefly mentioned me and Lil, they let him take the bed and he gave it to me. Well he had to put it apart and then he helped to put it back together again in her room. He also helped with some shelves and a table I had found at a flies-market. Some thinks that it's gross to buy things others already have used but I think that if they're still in good quality and works properly then why not? You can always fix it up yourself very easily.

When we got to the house it was still raining a lot and Lilly was still asleep. I didn't want to wake her up so I hurried out the car over to her side and took her in my arms to carry her up to the house. Little did a think about that it's locked and my keys are in my pocket. Since I couldn't take the keys out of my pocket using.. no hands it lead me to having to wake her up. She wasn't too happy about it but it could've been worse.

I unlocked the door and we went inside. At first Lilly just stood there in the hallway, looking around not saying anything.

“Hey, Lilly, are you okey?” I slowly asked, curiously looking at her.

“Hmm? Yeah, I'm okey. It's just weird to be here again.” She said, still looking around. I don't know if it's just me but she sound a lot more mature than she usually does. She doesn't sound her age?

“Good, do you want to go to the living room or your bedroom and rest?” I then asked her.

“Living room if that 's okey?” She said after a few seconds of hesitation.
