After that, Emmett and me sat in silence. The silence didn't last long though. The doctor came into the room for another examination and Emmett had to leave the room. After the examination, he pulled a small messenger out of his pocket and sent a message. He then made a few notes on my chart. Three nurses came into the room as he finished up. Together they disconnected the heart monitor, took my IV bag off the pole, and laid it at my feet. They then started to move my bed. When they pushed me out to the hall Emmett was nowhere to be seen. I was pushed down several hallways and into an elevator then down a few more hallways before finally being pushed into another room. They put the IV bag on another pole, secured the bed, and left the room. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
I was in the hospital for another three days before being released. Before they released me they wanted to make sure I could get myself in and out of bed and move around on my own. At first it was a little difficult but after a few tries with some help I was able to do it.
Edward drove me home. Most of the car ride was silent. Edward had a huge smile on his face the whole time. He held my hand too. It felt so nice. It was the first time in a long time that we were truly us. I had been back home for several months but it was the first time that Edward and me were me and Edward. It felt amazing.
"I'm going to go order some Chinese for dinner." Edward said when we walked through the front door, "You should go upstairs and change into something comfortable. I will bring you dinner in bed and we can watch a movie." He gave me a quick kiss on the lips and headed into the kitchen.
I headed upstairs and changed into some pjs. After I was dressed, I opened up the nightstand drawer to look for scrunchies but couldn't find any so I headed over to Edward's nightstand. Instead of finding scrunchies, I found a CD. It was not labeled. I pulled it and the small portable CD player out of the drawer. I put on the headphones and pressed play. Seconds later music started to play and Edward's sweet voice filled my ears. I closed my eyes and let myself become completely enveloped with the music.
My dad chased monsters from the dark,
He checked underneath my bed.
An' he could lift me with one arm,
Way up over top his head.
He could loosen rusty bolts
With a quick turn of his wrench.
He pulled splinters from his hand,
And never even flinched.
In thirteen years I'd never seen him cry,
But the day that grandpa died, I realized:
Unsinkable ships sink.
Unbreakable walls break.
Sometimes the things you think would never happen,
Happen just like that.
Unbendable steel bends.
If the fury of the wind is unstoppable,
I've learned to never underestimate,
The impossible
An' then there was my junior year,
Billy had a brand new car.
It was late, the road was wet,
I guess the curve was just too sharp.
I walked away without a scratch.
They brought the helicopter in.
Billy couldn't feel his legs.
They said he'd never walk again.
But Billy said he would an' his mom and daddy prayed,
An' the day we graduated, he stood up to say:
Unsinkable ships sink.
Unbreakable walls break.
Sometimes the things you think would never happen,
Happen just like that.
Unbendable steel bends.
If the fury of the wind is unstoppable,
I've learned to never underestimate,
The impossible
So don't tell me that it's over.
Don't give up on you and me.
'Cause there's no such thing as hopeless,
If you believe:
Unsinkable ships sink.
Unbreakable walls break.
Sometimes the things you think would never happen,
Happen just like that.
Unbendable steel bends.
If the fury of the wind is unstoppable,
I've learned to never underestimate,
The impossible
There was a brief pause followed by another song.
The snow in Montana was three feet high
Lady at the counter said,
"There ain't no flights"
So he called her on the telephone,
He said I'll rent a car
And I'll drive home.
She said,
I'll wait for you like I did last year
At Christmas time with you family here,
And your truck broke down
Out in San Antone
And the gifts stayed wrapped
Till you got home,
Oh this ain't nothing new,
Sweetheart I'll wait for you.
Now he's on his cell phone
In a Coupe deVille
Talking to the one he loves and always will
His heart is breaking
Cause she's there alone
Her heart is aching
Cause she wants him home
She says i'll wait for you
Like in '68 when our child was due
I said It will have to wait
Until his dad gets here,
And stands by my side,
Remember dear our son's first cry.
Soh this ain't nothing new,
Sweetheart I'll wait for you.
He didn't stop all day
To eat a bite,
And he finally got there around midnight
The doctor said she's in a better place
She said to give you this note,
Just in case.
And it said I'll wait for you
At heaven's gate,
Oh I don't care how long it takes
And I'll tell St. Pete I can't come in
Without my love and my best friend,
Oh this ain't nothing new,
Sweetheart I'll wait for you.
P.S. I love you too
Sweatheart I'll wait for you...
Another song started to play but a hand on my shoulder made me jump and drop the cd player. When the cd player fell the headphone plug slipped out of the cd player and I couldn't hear what was playing. When I looked up Edward was standing there with a bag of food in his hand.
I smiled and asked, "Why haven't you played these for me? They're beautiful."
"I didn't think you were ready to hear them?"
I reached for his hand, "I love you."
Sorry it took so long. I had school work then I had to start packing because I'm moving then I had the holidays. But I was finally able to write a short chapter. The songs in this chapter are both by Joe Nichols. On is The Impossible the other is I'll Wait for You. Enjoy!
