Hear No Secrets Chapter 26

“It keeps ringing,” she said, “I think it’s Grant.”

I smiled, “Thanks mom.”

Sure enough, it was Grant texting me.

You were amazing. Even Darren’s impressed.

I laughed and texted back, I’m amazed. Lol thank you.

How’s your break?

Better now. I’m talking to you. 

Good 

How’s the hospital?

Still boring.

“How is he?” Mom asked, “Still in the hospital?”

I nodded, “He’s bored but him and Darren are watching the TV so they can see me.”

“I feel so bad for them,” Mom said, “Those poor kids.”

“They’re not kids mom, but I know what you mean. That’s why I told them we were going to help. Grant argued, but I needed to help. I don’t want something to happen because they can’t afford it.”

“We’ll help as long as you want sweetie. Make sure they know that.”

“I will,” I smiled.

“I’m glad his surgery went well.”

“Me too,” I replied, “But I’m nervous.”

“Because things won’t be the same?” she asked.

“Exactly. It’s gonna take getting used to. I was just getting used to the way things are now. Like communicating with him and always having to look at him so he can read my lips and texting because he can’t talk on the phone. Now we have this new obstacle.”

“Honey it will be fine. This boy loves you and I know you love him. You’re a strong girl. This obstacle will be easier than you think it will be.”

“Yeah you’re right.”

“I’ll go help Peter. You better text him back.”

I smiled, “Okay.”

Good thing you have me to talk to now I texted back.

You’ve saved me from Darren telling me all about Lana.

They’re still dating?!

Yes and whenever there’s a commercial, he tells me about it.

I’m happy for them though. I haven’t had time to talk to her so I don’t know what she thinks about it.

I don’t want to get into their dating gossip. I’d rather talk about us.

I smiled, Us? What about us?

Like the fact that I’m taking you out when we get back.

You are? Why? And where?

That’s a surprise  it’ll be a congratulations dinner.

I haven’t even won yet.

You will and when you do I want to be the first one to congratulate you.

I’ll remember that. Thank you 

I’m your boyfriend what else am I supposed to do?

That’s true. I love you for that.

I love you too.

“Earth to Chloe?”
