Chapter 9: Making it up to Lucy
"Please, don't be dead." These were the first words I heard as I woke up. I instantly recognized the voice. It was Lucy. As soon as I heard this, a tear came to my eye. "I... love you," she added in a whisper. "Leave him alone, let him sleep until he wakes up," Another voice said, equally as sad. I recognized it as Dashie. "I just don't want him to be dead," I heard Lucy say as I felt two sets of tears falling onto my body. I realized I needed to say something before I drowned. "What's with the waterworks. Please don't drown me." I said, sitting up. As soon as they heard this, they looked up. When they saw my face, staring gently at them, their faces lit up. "Glad to see you two are okay. You look all healed up. How long was I out?" I asked. "Two weeks," Lucy replied. "Seriously?" I asked, disappointed. "Yes, what's the matter?" Lucy asked. "The matter, is that I missed your birthday." I replied, thinking. "It doesn't matter. Nobody ever remembers me, so my birthday is never celebrated." She said in her flat tone of voice. "Well that is gonna have to change, right now." I said, very triumphantly. "As soon as we get out of here, we are going to give you a late birthday party." I promised. As soon as I finished saying that, the nurse came in. I noticed that, for some reason, she was a pony, but I let it slide. Lots of weird shit has been happening. "So nurse...Redheart," I said, reading her name tag. "How long do I have to be in here?" I asked, preparing for the worst. "The chart says that once you are able to stand up, you will be allowed to leave." She replied. "All right let's try this." I said, slowly swinging my legs over the side of the bed. As I tried to get out of the bed, everyone noticed me struggling to get up. Finally, I stood up, only for my knees to start shaking. The only thing this accomplished however, was making me look like an idiot as I feel straight to the floor. "Blaze, get back in the bed," Lucy snapped. "I'm sorry, Lucy. We'll have your birthday party once I can get out of this bed," I replied with a gentle smile.
THREE DAYS LATER
I woke up, feeling incredibly refreshed. I looked over to Lucy, who was fast asleep with Dashie in her lap. 'Awwww, adorable,' I thought as I took my legs and swung them around the side of the bed. For the last three days, I have made no progress. Once my feet touched the floor, I felt something I haven't felt for three days, the floor. For three days, I had no feeling in my legs or feet. I got up, walked over to Lucy and Dashie, and carefully picked them up. Without waking them up, I carried them out to the waiting room, where I signed out. Last night while I was lying in the hospital bed, I called Sarah and asked her to bring the truck here. I walked out to the parking lot and put them in the back seat. I hopped into the front seat and pulled out of the parking lot and headed home.
I smiled happily as I pulled into my driveway. Lucy and Dashie were still asleep in the back seat. I hopped out of the truck, grabbed them, and brought them into the house. I set them on the couch, after which I went into the kitchen and began preparations. When Lucy woke up three hours later, she walked to the kitchen. Dashie and I were hiding, as she had woken up an hour and a half ago, and decided to help me. "SURPRISE!" Dashie and I shouted in unison as Lucy entered the kitchen. "This is unexpected. I was just going to get a glass of water, and there's a party here for me?" Lucy asked. "I told you we would celebrate your birthday." I replied. I grabbed her hand and sat her down at the table. "Today is all about you. If you want to do something, do it. If you want something, don't hesitate to ask." I stated. "Thank you, but you didn't have to do this for me." Lucy said. "No, you're right, I didn't have to. I wanted to do it." I stated. "Now I didn't know what kind of food you like, so we're going out to eat." I continued. "Afterwards, I have some things for you. Tonight's gonna be a good night." I said to Lucy. "Okay," Lucy said.
We went to have Lucy's birthday dinner at Sarah's Diner. Lucy had a plate of skull shaped chicken nuggets, Dashie had a salad, and I had a plate of deep fried shrimp with a chicken leg. After we finished, I went over to the counter and whispered in Sarah's ear. "I got ya'll honey," she said before disappearing behind the counter. I walked back over to the table and sat down. "What were you talking to her about?" Lucy asked, sounding a little sad. "Just a surprise, for you." I snickered. A few moments later, a handful of people came over to the table where we were sitting, and set down a very large cake. The cake was a nice lemon flavored cake, with strawberry icing. Written on the top with black icing, were the words, Happy Eighteenth Birthday Lucy!Lucy got up, came over next to me, and blew out the candles. "What did you wish for Lucy?" I asked. "You'll find out later." Lucy replied. Everyone had some cake. I went to the counter to pay Sarah. "How much do I owe you darlin'?" I asked. "Nothing, it's on the house, as long as you show that little girl a good time on her birthday." Sarah replied. "Thanks, Sarah." I replied before joining everyone outside.
