Brianna's point of view

FINALLY!! I'm going home today. I've had all my friends visit me the last few days mostly; Josh, Anne and Mia. I was slightly bouncing on my bed as I waited for Xav to come and get me. Ace and I have been going through physical therapy for the last 3 days and we can both walk but still have a long way to go before we can do anymore physical activities. However, as I was bouncing I suddenly felt a weird object in the top right of my chest where I had my last surgery a few days ago. I stopped bouncing and started to scratch where the uncomfortable feeling was hoping I could remove the feeling.

After a few seconds, Xavier came in with Dr Louise.
"Alright Brianna, your surgery went really well and you're fit enough to go home. Make sure you stay hydrated and eat a lot of health food especially vitamins. Since you have an extremely low blood pressure and almost no vitamins in your system to help you heal faster, I'm going to prescribe you with a few pills that you have to take every morning and night. You also must stay away from any harsh physical activities. Understood?" He asked. I nodded with a big smile and Xavier laughed as he walked over and picked me up before placing me on the wheelchair.

As he rolled me out the room, I turned back to look at him in the eye.
"Mind if we quickly go and see Ace?" I asked trying to make my eyes look bigger like a puppy cause I know that he wants to get me out this hospital as quick as possible. He stared at me for a second before sighing and rolling me over towards Ace's room and the door was slightly ajar. I pushed it and saw Ace talking with, I would assume, his mum on the phone. I haven't seen either of his parents since Ace had gone better. Last time I saw them, they were having a heated conversation but just brushed it off to him being scolded for being so reckless.
"Hey." I greeted. He looked up and gave me a gentle smile.
"Hey Brianna," he turned back and cut the phone placing it down.

"Hey Ace, when are you going home?" I asked as Xavier rolled me closer and sat down on the couch in the corner waiting for me to finish.
"Well the doctors said I can leave today, and.. my parents are out of town for at least a week so,." He explained but seemed almost hesitant when talking bout where his parents were. I smiled and looked back towards Xavier giving him begging eyes. He looked at me with a little glare before giving up and standing up walking over to us.
"Wanna come with us?" I asked with a childish smile. He looked at me in confusion before looking past me and started to shake in fear, probably from the structure of Xavier behind me. I looked behind me a little and saw Xav glaring at Ace.
"Can you stop glaring at him," I snapped with a playful tone, Xavier relaxed and shrugged his shoulders. I looked back at Ace and pulled him a little.
"Come on, you can stay with us until your parents come back." I reasoned.
"U-um I'd like that but I don't want to be burden." He swallowed nervously.
"Can he?" I begged Xav turning towards him. He sighed and nodded with a smile.
"Sure, I'll get your discharge papers." He replied before walking out but not before giving me a kiss on the head. I turned back to Ace with a gleeful smile.
"Looks like we're hanging out for another week." I squealed out in excitement while he just laughed and shook his head at my childish behaviour.

Xavier came back with a doc and another wheelchair. The doc helped Ace onto the chair and we were both rolled out the room and towards them car park

Once we reached Xavier's car he opened the two passenger doors and picked us up and placed us on either side. As he was buckling our seatbelts I started to laugh a little.
"Xav, you do know we can move our hands right, we can still move." I tried explaining, he just shook his head and looked up at me with a fake glare.
"You must rest." He growled out while I just laughed. When he finished, he closed both the doors and went to talk with the doctor.
