Alone

Ch. 13 : How am I supposed to go to the beach with a cast on?

The next day, I was just sitting on my bed, watching TV in my Sleeping with Sirens sweatshirt and old black sweatpants when my phone on my bed vibrated.

I almost jumped, it scared the shit out of me.

I looked at the screen and smiled.

Alex : Hey, can I come over?

I wondered why he'd wanna come over but then I realized about our "Start Over" situation and replied by saying 'sure'.

Less then 5 minutes later I heard the doorbell downstairs. I got out of bed and reached for my crutches beside my bed. I hobbled out of my room and down the stairs. Over the past couple of days, I've managed to somewhat manage getting down the stairs. But it took me forever.

As I was approaching the bottom of the stairs and the front door I heard my mom yell, "Nova, can you get that?"

"Already on it!" I yelled back and hopped my way to the front door and opened it.

I saw Alex standing there in his black hoodie, blue jeans and a grey beanie.

He smiled and said "Look who's learning to use her crutches." He said with a smirk on his face.

"Shut up." I joekd with a laugh. "Yeah, that's why I took so long getting down the stairs."

"Don't worry about it. Hey, you wanna go for a drive?"

I looked down at my sunday attire. "Ha, in this?" I said gesturing to my outfit.

"We're not going to France Nova, just for a drive."

"Fine, be right back." I said turning around and starting to hobble up the stairs.

"Ya want some help with that?" Alex said from behind me.

"That might help." I said stopping and turning around.

"Put down your crutches."

I looked at him in confusion. "Why?"

"Just do it." 

"Fine." I said dropping my crutches to the floor and standing on one foot.

Before I knew it Alex had scooped me up in his arms and was carrying me up the stairs.

"Alex! I can hop on one foot you know?" I said chuckling.

"No. You will be carried." He said laughing.

I rolled my eyes and let him carry me upstairs. 

When we got to the top he put me down and ran downstairs. "I'll be waiting!" he said as he ran down the stairs.

I shook my head and walked into my room, quickly attempted to put on some jeans and grabbed my phone and hobbled out of my room. 

I looked down at the stairs and pouted. "Alex?" I said yelling down the stairs. 

He was at the bottom and he turned around. "Yeah?"

"Can you...like..." I said gesturing to the stairs.

"Sure." He said walking up the stairs and scooping me up in his arms again.

"It would be an honor my lady." He joked as he carried me down the stairs.

"You know, I could used to this kind of treatment." I said laughing.

He placed me on the ground and handed me my crutches.

We got in the car and took a drive. It was silent mostly. Then he drove to one place I never would expect, the beach.
