I woke up and looked at Casey, he had his head at the foot of my hospital bed and he was still holding my hand. He was such an amazing friend I tear up just thinking about it and watch him for awhile longer. After about an hour of this, a nurse walks in. So... I know what you're probably thinking, we'll go back to living our lives and everything will be peachy, right? WRONG! The nurse asks if I'm feeling better, I say yes and she asks we more questions like that.
"Would you like us to call a wheelchair, so you can take a walk?" The nurse says so softly, it's almost a whisper.
"It's not a walk if I'm in a wheel chair, why don't I just walk?" I say frustrated.
"Sams," Casey must have woken up, "you didn't realize did you?"
"Realize what?" I look between him and the nurse, deciding who I should be more mad at.
"There's no easy way to tell her this," The nurse still talks in barely a whisper.
"Sammy," Casey finds the courage some how (A/N I WANT CASEY HE IS SO COURAGEOUS) "you're quadriplegic."
"So? What does that mean?"
"You're paralyzed from the shoulders down." Casey says in a gentle voice.
My head spins, I didn't even notice! I'm even more useless now! Who's gonna want to be around me, a quadra-penguin or whatever. I start sputtering and Casey envelopes me in a hug.
"Casey? Will you still love me? Even if I'm a quadra-pepper thingy?" I look at him nervously.
"Of course Sammy don't be stupid! Through think and thin I'll always be here, I don't care if I have to wheel you around school, to Maynard's, anywhere you want to go! I'll stay with you always." He gives me one of his classic grins.
"Casey," I choke out, "I can't even hug you back!" I start sobbing, for some reason this is the most tragic part. Not being about to hug Casey seems like the worst possible punishment.
"Shhh," Casey gently tries to sooth me, "You don't need to hug me back for me to know you love me." I smile and look at the nurse as if to say 'you can't have him'
Just then Danny and Heather come back with Marissa and Billy.
"Did you tell her yet?" Marissa says without making eye contact.
"Yes," Casey sighs, "she's agreed that you can be her nurse, and help her do EVERYTHING she can't." I look over at Casey and smile, I know exactly what he's doing.
"What? I'm not even certified! I can't, I mean... I won't ... I mean..."
"Calm down! He's just kidding, you don't have to do anything for me!" after that there was a lull in conversation and everyone looked awkwardly around.
"Well,". Heather breaks the silence, "the pregnancy test was positive."
"That's great you guys! Wait that's good right?" Marissa says confused.
"No not good! They're not even out of high school! How could you guys do this and expect to be let off easy?" Casey says angrily.
"Relax case! My mom had me before she was married or out of high school, and look how good I turned out!" I joke
"True..."
"Guys it's not Danny's baby... It's Taylor's." We stare at Heather in silence.
