I have good news and bad news.
The good news?
I'm finally getting my cast off!
The bad news?
I'm completely terrified!
"Aspen, you won't even feel it" Charlotte says in exasperation as she flops beside me on my bed
We're at my house because my mother wants to be with me when I get my cast cut off.
She came back three days after Charlotte and I's date.
I still haven't told her about it, yet.
"How would you know? You've never been in a cast before!" I respond in a panicked tone
"Yeah, but I do know that you tend to overreact" she says
"I'm not overreacting, Charlotte" I say as I glare at her
"Aspen, Charlotte, come down before we're late" my mother yells from downstairs
"We're coming" I yell back
I carefully slide off my bed only to be gently pulled back by my one working arm. I land on top of Charlotte with my legs on either side of her hips. I'm practically straddling her at this point.
"Please don't be mad at me" she says with an adorable pouty face
Aw, she's so cute.
"Why would I be mad?" I say with a straight face
"I don't know, but you're mad at me right now" she says
"I'm not mad at you" I say, my straight face unwavering
She slowly leans in for a kiss only for me to block it with my palm.
"I'm not kissing you anytime soon" I say before I carefully climb off of her
"Why are you mad at me, Aspen?" She asks as she follows behind me
"No reason" I say as I descend down the stairs
"Aspen, please tell me" she begs with puppy dog eyes
Aw, she looks so cute with puppy dog eyes.
"Later" I say before I walk out the house
-
We've been sitting in this hospital room for over two hours.
For two hours straight I've been listening to the incessant ticking of the clock on the wall.
Honestly, I think I'm going crazy because of it.
If the doctor doesn't come in soon, I think I'm going to rip my hair out.
"Relax, it's going to be okay" Charlotte whispers from beside me
I lay my head on her shoulder which makes her smile as she wraps her arm around me and places a peck on my forehead.
I look across the room at my mom since I haven't told her about Charlotte and I.
She's looking at us with a wide smile on her face which causes me to blush.
"We'll talk about this later" she mouths as she points between Charlotte and I
"Okay" I mouth back.
Someone knocks on the door before a young lady walks into our hospital room. She's dressed in dark blue scrubs and holding a clipboard.
"Hello everyone, my name is Zoe and I'll be your nurse for today" she says happily as she looks at all of us
