Bring Me Back To Life || Gavin Lux

Ella's POV- November 2019

Everything was healing the way it was supposed to, and there was a high probability that I'd get my cast removed after Thanksgiving.

"Son, I'm driving"

Dad had driven us to my appointment in Theo's car.

"I can't find your car keys"

That's cause dad purposely brought them.

"Yeah, I have them"

Theo sighed.

"I wouldn't have been able to move it, either way, there's a car in front of it"

That was Gavin's rental car.

"Well we should be home in about 20 minutes"

Probably sooner.

"I kind of have no other choice but to wait"

Dad scratched his jaw.

"Do you have plans?"

Theo replied.

"I did"

Dad grinned.

"We'll be home soon, bye"

He ended the call before Theo could say anything.

"What do you want for breakfast?"

"French toast" I answered.

He smiled.

"I can do that"

"With scrambled eggs and bacon," I added.

"Okay"

He made Theo help him with breakfast, while I 'checked on the guest'. I knocked on the door and decided to let myself in when I got no response from the other side. By the looks of it, Gavin had woken up and changed out of his PJs. However, he had gone back to bed and the reason he did not respond to the light knock was that his headphones were on. He looked away from the screen of his tablet as the darkroom got some light.

"Morning" I greeted as he took his headphones off.

"Morning"

I made my way over and climbed up on the bed.

"How'd you sleep?" I asked before leaning in to peck his lips.

He nodded.

"Really well, actually"

That's good.

"How was your doctor's appointment?"

"If all goes as planned I should get this removed after Thanksgiving," I said.

He smiled.

"That's great news"

It was great news.

"Have you left the room?" I wondered.

He shook his head.

"There was no need, the room has a connected bathroom"

I laughed.

"Yes?" I questioned when I caught him staring.

He smiled.

"I like your headband"

"Thank you," I said accepting his compliment.

He reached over and attempted to fix the bow on the headband.

"Dad spent a solid 15 minutes trying to smoothen it out" I informed him.

I had been so careful when I packed...and yet...here we were.
