I’ve got some good road rash, lots of bumps and bruises and a concussion but I’m going to be okay. They’re about to release me from the hospital; I’m just sitting here waiting on the paperwork. Garrett, Dave and Kelly are talking and killing time trying to distract me from the pain, thoughts of what happened and what could have happened. I’m lucky and I know it.

I’m not really even sure how I’m alive at all, but I am. To be honest, I’m really shaken up by it all but I’m trying to just act normal. I’m trying to pretend that I’m not about to lose it. Thank God that truck came by and noticed my mangled bike in the road and decided to stop and check things out. Thank God he found me on the shoulder of the road in the dark, unconscious and called paramedics. Thank God that I woke up with almost no major injuries.

Once I got to the hospital, I held it together enough to tell them not to give me anything for the pain. I mean I’m sore as shit and don’t feel great but I’m fucking alive. I can’t risk any shit in my system screwing everything else up. I’ll heal.

The door opens and Alexis runs into the room. As soon as she sees me she bursts into tears and runs to my bed just looking at me trying to figure out if she can hug me. I reach out for her embrace.

She’s become a great friend over the last year and she’s certainly one of my favorite people. It warms my heart to see that she cares but I can’t have her crying.

“Hey you. Sorry to crash in on your girls weekend.” I say into her hair as I hug her gently since my muscles aren’t really on board for deep squeezes.

They all update her on my condition and tell her that we’re just waiting on the discharge papers. She sighs a relief and then looks at me saying,

“I hope you realize you’ll be coming home with us.”

And as much as I appreciate the sentiment, that’s not happening, I need some quiet and some alone time but I’m not debating her. I just say quietly but with sureness.

“No Lex, thanks… but I need to go to my home. I just need a minute to recover and then I’ll come hang out with you guys.”

She’s standing there staring at me trying to decide if she’s going to argue or let me do this my way when Garrett places his hand on her forearm and smiles, that was his own way of letting her know that I’ll be okay.

When the door opens again, I get excited because I’m sure that’s my discharge papers. But then I feel her. She came? She came to check on me? She’s here. What’s happening? Wait… she probably just came with Lex.

She walks around the others and comes toward the bed. I see a sparkle in her eye that looks a little different.
