Every Step You Take, I'll be watching You:
"Kevin?" Erin said surprised as she opened her front door. She wasn't expecting to see him there. Ever.
"I was just dropping by to see how Ian was doing."
"Oh...well he's still in the hospital. I was just on my way to go see him." Ian had been in the hospital for three weeks now. After the escapade at the tricentennial ended with Ian almost being blown to pieces by a firework, and nearly being trampled by a horse, he was in the Intensive Care Unit with severe injuries. He had head trauma, and could have possible memory loss. This terrified Erin. They decided to get off the Devil's Flight coaster after Wendy had a vision or something, and escaped being killed at their job at Build It Hardware, but Ian couldn't escape the danger that awaited him at the tricentennial. Of course Erin witnessed it all.
Kevin left shortly after, and Erin continued with her daily trip to the hospital.
"Zip," Erin trailed her fingers down Ian's cheek. He was asleep. He sighed a small sound, and weakly replied, "Pip."
"I missed you love." Erin stated.
"Missed you." He managed out. The horse at the tricentennial had stepped on his throat, making it difficult for him to speak.
"You're gonna get out of here soon. The nurse told me. She said you're doing great, and you'll be perfect soon."
Ian forced smile and stretched his fingers toward Erin. She sat on the edge of the bed, taking his hand, and gently lay her head on his chest.
"I love you so much Ian," Erin said quietly. Ian squeezed her fingers reassuringly, and said, "love you too." She hated not being able to hear his comforting voice. She hated seeing him like this. Visiting hours were over, and Erin had to go home. She tore herself away from Ian, who had fallen asleep clutching her hand, and kissed his forehead. Oh how she loved him.
