When we finally arrived home from the hospital, Joel presented me with a card which read 'stay strong, you're a wonderful human being' on the front; I opened it up and just saw a mass amount of handwriting. 'Read it then,' Joel prompted. Carefully, I slowly read each line and took each word in until I began to smile so much that my eyes filled with tears; I looked at Joel, non-verbally asking him to finish reading the card for me. When he'd finished reading the card, I cried. 'It's all true though, you are so amazing.' Charlie said with a smile. 'Thank you so much.' I replied. Just as I thought that the celebratory ordeal was over, Joel told me to check my emails for another surprise. 'You might cry again by the way so here's a tissue.' Hannah explained. 'Oh god, what has he done?' I thought to myself. I calmed myself down and opened up the email... Joel had got me Bring Me the Horizon tickets! Trying so hard not to swear or scream or be too loud, I threw my arms out for a hug, but to be honest, it felt more like a tight squeeze. 'Will you come to the concert with me?' I asked as we disbanded from the hug. 'Oh yeah, of course I will!' Joel replied.

Joel's POV:
It was so lovely to see Lizzie at home again and to see her cry tears of happiness, well I'm just gonna say I'm quite proud of myself if I'm honest. I just wish she'd know how much of an incredible human being she is and I just knew getting her tickets to the concert would give her something good to look forward to. I'm so grateful to have her in my life.

Charlie's POV:
'There's also this too,' I stated as I handed Lizzie a shiny blue box, tied shut with a grey ribbon. 'We thought we'd just put together a little care box for you, full of everything that will cheer you up and make you feel a bit more positive. Well I say 'we' but it was Charlie's idea but we all contributed.' Hannah explained. 'I really hope this provides some sort of aid in your recovery.' I said with a smile after Lizzie had opened the box and examined the contents. 'Thank you so much, you really are amazing.' Lizzie replied.
