Chapter Thirty-Eight . . . Coming Together

Cat's POV

You know it's a funny thing, when I closed my eyes this morning I didn't expect to be woken up by a smiling and some-what crazy nurse who said that I had to get up because there was a lot of people who were here to see me.

At first, I was confused. Who the hell wanted to see me?

And then, they came piling in like a heard of cows that couldn't fit through the door.

It started with Burnie and Matt who came in holding flowers. Matt was nervous after he saw my battered face and Burnie just gave me sad looks the rest of the time.

Next came Kara and Barbara. Kara was calm and kept telling me that she was here for me if I needed anything and Barbara was a blubbering mess who said she was sad for me.

Then there was Joel and Adam, then Jon Risinger and Jordan.

The list went on and on, and before I knew it my room was full of flowers.

"Hey kid." The deep voice of Ryan greeted me as the whole achievement hunter group came in each holding something behind their backs.

"What is everyone doing here? Don't you have jobs?" I joked, sounding weak from talking all day.

"Well we do, but someone shattered our door." Michael teased making me roll our eyes.

"Well whoever did it must have a giant ass." I said making them all laugh. "No, but seriously what are you guys doing here?"

"Are you kidding? We came for you." Jack said.

"You guys didn't have to." I said repeating the line that I had said for the thousandth time today.

"Yeah well we couldn't just leave you here all by yourself." Jack shrugged and then it got quiet.

"So. . . what's behind your backs?" I asked.

Ray smiled at me.

"Well, we all wanted to get you something to make you feel better." He said before turning to the guys. "Who wants to start?"

"I'll start." Jack said as he stepped forward.

He moved his hands in front of me and held out a Nintendo D.S.

"Jesus Jack! That's expensive!" I exclaimed.

"Well, I know that you will be on bed rest for awhile so I wanted to give you something to do."

"Thanks Jack!" I awed as he leaned down and gave me a hug.

Jack stepped away and Ryan stepped up.

"Well, I got you a couple of movies to watch so you don't get bored."

Ryan handed me the stack and I read through them.

Here Comes the Boom

"Thanks Ryan."

We hugged and Michael and Lindsay stepped up together.

"We're married so our gifts combined." Michael said rolling his eyes.

Lindsay quickly smacked him on the chest before showing me a little cat plushie.

"Awe." I said as I took the little plushie in my hands. "It's so cute."

"Alright move out the way, it's my turn." Ray said as he pushed the two aside and pulled out a box of chocolates. "You're a girl so you like this shit right?"
