Ready for it

For You, For Us

*STORY NOW WRITTEN IN THIRD PERSON
Emily recovery sucked for many reason. One it was the holiday season. Two Lindsey was with her and they couldn't even have sex. Three being injured is so boring. She spent most of the first few weeks laying in bed or on the couch because Lindsey would let her go out. In all fairness tho she just didn't want Emily to re-injury her collarbone.

"Linds, listen I love you and am so grateful you flew all the way down her to take care of me but if you don't let me out of this apartment soon i'm going to go crazy."

"Ok fine what about this, the next couple of days we'll take it slow. You know like slowly easing into things, and maybe if you're able to get in and out of the car and last a 30 minute car ride without any discomfort i'll think about driving to Colorado before Thanksgiving and you're birthday"

"PLEASE" I begged

"we'll see"

They tested and took a 30 minute car ride, lucky with no discomfort. They had a week before Thanksgiving and Emily's birthday so it would give them plenty of time to drive and take as many breaks needed seeing that Lindsey would be the only one to drive. Also the dog's need their own stops.

"only plus if this injury is that I get the aux the entire time"

"Son I know you have great taste in music but if you play the same playlist I might leave you in the middle of no where"

"jeez okay"

Days later after many breaks and stops they were an hour away from Lindsey apartment. They decided to go there so they could get sleep and then go see her parents the next day.

After the long weekend was over and Emily was introduced to many extended family members. The next day they were out walking around the town hand in hand.

"How do you feel"

"what do you mean my collarbone or my mentally"

"both"

"both...bad" Emily sighed after

"hey wait what's up mentally? is there something you're not telling me"

"actually Linds there's quite a bit i'm not telling you and for a while now i've felt like the most shittiest girlfriend for not telling you"

"Em you know that i'm not forcing it out of you but I do want to know at some point"

Emily didn't answer which made Lindsey heart stop a bit know she didn't feel okay telling her what was wrong.

"..it's just that..never mind"

Lindsey didn't want to push it so she let the whole conversation go.

~~

It been three months much has passed like Christmas. That time was hard for Emily but having Lindsey and her parents there made it easier to not get so down. Also, it was Christmas so it was hard to be sad then.

For Christmas Emily got Lindsey a new chain that she has mentioned she liked and if Emily was being honest Lindsey looked hot in them. Lindsey got Emily a pair of shoes she had been looking at but never wanted to buy just because she didn't necessarily need them at that time.

Lindsey bought her one more thing. She bought her a ring. The ring did have meaning behind it, it was practically a promise ring hut she thought that sounded too cheesy. They have been talking about marriage more seriously since Thanksgiving but this isn't an engagement ring it's just a "be ready" ring.

After dinner on Christmas she dragged Emily outside to the porch that looked out to the snow falling.

"so I may have gotten you one more thing"
