Sylvie's Pov

I was lying in my hospital bed remember what happened. It felt like it happened just yesterday day even though it's been a month. I was walking home from the Firehouse because my car broke and the bus was running late and I didn't feel like waiting. I had just wanted to get home to bed. Matt was in at a construction site otherwise he would of driven me. We are really good friends. It's almost like we are dating but haven't actually told each other how we feel. We just know we are meant for each other. I remember getting ready to cross the street. I made sure to look both ways. No one was coming. So I started to walk across that's when it all happened. I was hit by a car that had run a red light. He plowed right into me. I just laid there helpless as the man drove on. I couldn't move. I was drifting in and out of consciousness as I heard the sirens of the ambulance. That's the last thing I heard before I woke up in a hospital bed. I'd later come to find out that I had broke my leg in three places. Injured my back. Had a major concussion sprained both my wrists and had multiple cuts and scrapes. They told me I would have a lot of work to do if I was to walk again. I was pulled from my daydream when Matt came in. "how's my gal feeling today." He asks taking my hand in his. "Sore tired and not wanting to be here anymore." I said as he stood next to my bed in his red suspenders. "I know but it's the best place for you. You know that." He tells me. "so how's your day been? Take it you just came from a fire." I ask. "yep we've been busy. The firehouse has is crazy today and its only 11 am. Remember you have physical therapy today" he tells me "do I have to do it today? I wine "yes if you ever wanna get out of the hospital yes. You've come so far. I'm proud of you. I'll even be there 3:00 pm downstairs right. Herrmann is covering for me Boden says its fine." He says. "Fine 3:00 pm" I say back to him. "I'll be back then I promise." He says as his radio goes off and he rushes out. 3:00 pm comes around faster then I wanted it to and Matt still isn't here. I thought he would meet me up in my room. The orderly walks in with a wheelchair to take me to physical therapy. "I'm not going without him you can't make me." I yell "please miss we have to go now." The orderly says. "He said he'd be here. I'm not going without him. He promised he'd be here." I yell. "Maybe he got called out on a run." the orderly says trying to calm me down. "I can't do this without him." I say with tears streaming down my face. "Miss please the nurse is waiting on you." He says as he reaches for me. "Don't touch me." I shout as I try and back up. "He's coming he promised. He had someone to cover for him." I cry.

Casey's pov.
I was just got back from a long call when I realized what time it was. "hey Herrmann I've got to go help take care of Sylvie. Your good to cover for me right?" I ask him. "Yep all covered. Tell our girl we say hi and to kick butt at therapy today." He says to me. I Rush down the apron of the firehouse to my truck. I try and go the speed limit but I might have been going a bit over. I wanted to get there on time. It takes me just over 10 minutes to get there. I park and run inside. I head over to the physical therapy floor and realize Sylvie isn't in there. It's after 3:00 she should of been down here already. I rush back to the elevators and head upstairs to her room. Maybe she got confused on where we were meeting. As I step off the elevator I hear someone yelling. "I'm not going without him. He promised he'd be here" the voice says. As get closer to Sylvie's room I hear that it's her. I rush in and see her crying. "Hey, hey I'm here" I say as I walk over to her. She holds onto me not wanting to let go. "I couldn't go without you." She sobs "it's okay I'm here now." I say to her. "alright let's get you in the wheelchair​ and down to physical therapy." The orderly say as he tries to help Sylvie up but she protests. "no only he helps me" she says clinging to me. "it's okay I'll help you. But we have to go now before your session ends." I say. "okay as long as you stay during my session" she says sadly "I will I promise" I say helping her into the wheelchair and off to her appointment. "I wish I didn't have to do this" she says to me as I wheel her into the room. "Come on you know you have to do this to get better. Look how far you have come." I say bending down to her level. "I know it's just hard" she says "Well just know the whole firehouse is rotting for you. Hermann says kick butt." I say "of course he does. Alright let's get this over with." She says "okay let's start on the working with your walking. Show matt how far you have come." The nurse says. She helps Sylvie up to the bars and pulls her up right. "Alright, hold on to the bars now one foot in front of the other. That's right I've got you. Now move the left foot and then right." She says. "Good job sweetheart" I say watching her. "Okay now let's try and not hold on to the bar" the nurse says. "Look I'm doing it. I'm walking without holding on. Matt I'm doing it." She says with a smile. "I see. I'm recording it for the whole house to see" I say. I watch her finish up therapy. "Great job Sylvie. We are all finished up her. I will see you in two days. You are making great progress here." The nurse says. "No, no I can keep going please" she says "you don't wanna over do it. We need you to rest as well" the nurse tells her. "Fine take me back" Sylvie tells me. I wheel her back up to her room. I notice she looks a bit sad. "Stay with me for a bit?" she asks me as I help her back in bed. I take out my phone and look at it. "Unless you have to go. She says sadly. "Nah Hermann's got it covered I can stay for an hour or so." I say as I see her smile brighten. "Scoot over" I say wrapping her up in my arms and giving her a kiss.
