I smiled a bit, shaking my head faintly. "This is unbelievable." I said sort of quietly with a weak sort of chuckle. And I think it really was. This was probably one of the best day's I've had in a while. I find out I'm not dying and Arden decides that she loves me. I felt like this was all some weird dream and I was going to wake up to find I was still dying and Arden never even came today.
I thought about what I had said before an shrugged faintly again, ".. Yeah, guess it doesn't really make much sense.."

I smile slightly at him, brushing his hair back. At the very, very least I know that I like seeing him happy, so I'm sure that's got to count for something. I shrug in return at what he says next. "Doesn't matter, really."

I smile back to her as she brushes some of my hair back. I nearly wanted to ask her what about Logan, but I could honestly say that at the same time I didn't think it was a very good idea. I was actually almost scared to speak. That something I was going to say would make her change her mind and then she was going to leave.
"Okay.." I said with a small smile when she said that it didn't matter. I smiled again and just thought about what was happening. That this wasn't just a very real dream.
".. Hey, so you'll be happy about this." I said as I reached around her and grabbed the paper my healer had given me. "No drinking." I said with a faint chuckle.
I was pretty much at loss of what I could say right now, so hopefully this would branch off into some type of okay conversation. It probably wouldn't, but it was worth a shot.

"... What?" I ask, shaking my head to bring it back to the present because that's quite a change of subject. "They won't let you drink? Good for them."

"Sorry.. sort of drastic change of subject there.." I said with a faint laugh.
I shook my head faintly, "Nope.. And yeah, I guess so." I smiled a bit. I didn't really want to tell her why I probably wasn't allowed to drink though. More than likely all my organs were probably a mess.. but I didn't know for sure, so it'd be best not to say anything. "I wasn't really planning on drinking anyway though.." I don't really have a reason to.

"Good... you'd damn well better not," I say for what feels like at least the dozenth time. I don't recall exactly, because I don't think it's been said outright, but I seem to think that he got hit after he'd been drinking, and that's just another reason not to.

Anyway, all that drinking has done was cause me trouble. Not to mention, I was still a bit drunk when I got hit that night after I left Arden and decided to walk instead of go home.
"Arden, I won't." I said shaking my head with a slightly amused smile at how often she's been saying that.

"Good." I smile slightly, absently running my fingers over the back of his hand. It feels good to touch someone without feeling like you're irritating them.

I nodded, grinning softly over to her as I felt her fingers over the back of my hand, which actually felt quite nice. Not to mention was sort of distracting me from the sore-achy feeling I had everywhere else.
And now I was at loss of words again. It was bound to happen. I sort of wanted to say that I loved her again, but I didn't want to seem to.. clingy? I don't even know if that was the right word.

So... I wonder what the hell happens now? I think but don't say anything. I glance around the room a moment, then shrug. "So when do you get out of here? Did they say?"

Post by Riley Pearson on Apr 4, 2009 15:42:45 GMT
I shook my head. "They didn't say.. But I'm gonna guess relatively soon." I said with a faint smile. "Maybe a few more days to make sure everything's okay?"

"That would make sense," I agree, tilting my head... suddenly seized with a probably-unreasonable fear that it won't be, and that I'll go home today thinking everything is fine and then come back tomorrow and find that he's died. I swallow hard, hoping that it doesn't show on my face.

I smiled and nodded faintly. "Then I'll be back on my feet again.." I paused for a moment. "Well, not really, I'll be sitting instead of laying, but it's an improvement.. I guess." I added with a faint laugh. I caught a very faint change in her expression and wondered if it was just my imagination or not. "... Are you okay, Arden?" I asked just in case it wasn't me just being weird.

Post by Arden Patricks on Apr 5, 2009 2:18:21 GMT
"Yeah, fine." I shake my head at my hands, shrugging. "Just... scared that... that maybe the improvement isn't permanent yet."

I shook my head faintly, moving a hand lightly on top of hers as she shook her head down at them. ".. Even if it's not.. completely, permanent.." I paused again, "I'm sure I'm healed enough for them to fix it.. My healer sounded pretty confident though."

I twist my hand to take his when he lays it there, nodding at what he says and finally smiling slightly. "... Hope so."

I squeezed her hand gently and smiled slightly back to her with a faint nod. "I'm sure I'm gonna be fine.." I shrugged very faintly. "I just have to stop being clumsy.. and be careful with myself for a while."

Post by Arden Patricks on Apr 5, 2009 2:46:52 GMT
"You're going to stop being clumsy, are you?" I ask, nearly rolling my eyes. "But yes... you better be. In case that's not sunk in yet."

I laughed faintly, "I'm gonna try not to be.. but that's not saying much." I said with a small smile. "You're talking to someone who practically falls out of his bed every morning."
I smiled and nodded, "I've already told you I would be."

"I thought you honestly did used to do that," I say, raising my eyebrows. "Or was it just that you ran into walls?"

Post by Riley Pearson on Apr 5, 2009 3:04:56 GMT
"I still do." I said shaking my head faintly with a small laugh. ".. I'm gonna just have to start sleeping on the floor or something." I smiled weakly. ".. and yeah.. I did that too.. though I've gotten better with watching where I'm walking when it comes to walls."

I open my mouth as if to say something, but then just shake my head. "You're lucky that you made it this long before being hit by a bus."

Post by Riley Pearson on Apr 5, 2009 3:16:18 GMT
I chuckled faintly and nodded, "I am pretty lucky.. in some aspects, at least." I said with a faint shake of my head. "But yeah.. I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner."

Post by Arden Patricks on Apr 5, 2009 3:23:04 GMT
"And unlucky in the fact that you did indeed get hit by a bus...." I shrug slightly. "How in the hell did it happen, anyway?"

[ he actually got hit by a car, but a bus works! lol it's confusing though cos I kept saying it felt like he got hit by a bus xD anywho, a bus actually is probably more realistic for the injuries. ]
"I can't really remember." I said shaking my head faintly. "I was talking to you.. and then I decided to walk for a bit.. woke up here." I shrugged weakly.

((Eh, I wasn't sure, but 'hit by a bus' is a more common expression, so... yeah.  )) "Hm...." I shake my head slightly, then look over at him when something occurs to me suddenly. "Hey - you haven't had to tell the girls yet, have you?" |

Post by Riley Pearson on Apr 5, 2009 3:36:12 GMT
[ yeah, lol .. and it is more common *nods* ] I shook my head faintly, "No.. I told them." I said sort of quietly. ".. I wasn't going to, but I had a lot of time to think about it.. and I think if I were them, I would've wanted to know.." Now though, I wish that I hadn't told them.. but I guess it was too late now. |

"Well... that makes sense... and if you really should've been dead by now had they not cured you, it's a good thing you did... but I hope they're okay. Have... has anyone found about this yet?"
It's a little bit strange, really, that I'm the only one here. If Lilith or Fitzy were here in this position I doubt I'd leave much, and I know that Meredith wouldn't.

I nodded faintly, "Yeah.. still wish I didn't tell them now though.." That was probably one of the hardest things that I've ever had to do and I hope that I never have to do that again, or put them through that again.
I shook my head. "No.. they just told me a bit before you got here." I said sort of quietly. "My mum and my kids were here all last night.. I told them they should leave for a bit... they just haven't come back yet."
