Several long hours later, Taylor was in a hospital room with her knee wrapped. It was only a sprain but she would have to stay off of it for about 2 weeks. She shifted her weight and looked out the window. The weather was clearing and blue sky was showing through. She sighed shakily and closed her eyes.
Nick had been looked at, and had gotten a bandage on his arm from where he scrapped it. He walked out into the waiting room where everybody was. AJ was standing at the window, waiting for someone to tell him when he could go see Taylor. Nick walked over to Brian and sat down, "Any word yet?"
Brian shook his head, "Nope..should be any time though.."
Nick nodded and looked out the window.
A doctor came out of the swinging doors and walked over to AJ. "Mr McLean?," She said quietly.
"Yes?"
"You can see Taylor now. She's in room 243."
AJ nodded, "Okay..is she alright?"
The doctor smiled and nodded her head, "She'll be fine. I'm going to go ahead and discharge her because she's not serious. She'll need to be on crutches for probably two weeks."
"Okay..thank you."
She smiled and left then. And finally, AJ smiled and walked over to the guys. "How is she?," Howie asked.
"The doctor said she'll be fine..she's being discharged. You all wanna come with me to get her?"
"No..I think we'll let you go. I'll go see if we can get a flight back to Orlando.," Kevin said getting up.
The others agreed. AJ walked to the elevator and pressed the second floor button. He patiently waited for the elevator to get there.
The elevator came to a stop and AJ walked out. Following the room numbers, he came to 243 at the end of the hall. He pushed open the door and walked inside. Taylor looked up when she heard the door open and smiled at AJ. "Hey..how you doin'?," He asked kissing her forehead.
"I'm alright I guess. Can I leave yet?," She asked impatiently.
AJ smiled and nodded, "Yep..you're being discharged as we speak. Kevin's getting a flight back to Orlando so we can go home."
"Good.."
She sat up and got ready. The doctor came in and handed her a bunch of papers. She got up on her crutches and hobbled out of the hospital slowly with AJ by her side.
Kevin had gotten a flight for them all and they went straight to the airport.
Around 10 p.m., AJ and Taylor pulled up in front of their house. He helped her up to bed, because she was tired and in pain, and then went downstairs. His dog, Tobie, ran over to him and he bent down. "Hey Tobie..glad we're home? Me too..," AJ talked quietly.
Later, AJ was sitting on the edge of the bed watching Taylor sleep peacefully. 'She looks like an angel..my angel. I think I'm losing it..wait, its 2:30 in the morning and I'm talking to myself.'
After he got in bed, he rolled over and brushed Taylor's light hair out of ehr face. She stirred but didn't wake up. He sighed and closed his eyes, trying to go to sleep.
