Why I don't Skate DM x DK

Been trying to write this one for ages, but as I was writing the draft the pen exploded and I have been dealing with some difficult times recently so I don't really have the motivation to do any writing all though I am trying to get back into the swing of things. I can't believe the pen exploded while I wasn't even using it. I don't always have good luck with pens.

Let's do this thing

Danny p.o.v

Matt told me that the rest of the band is going to meet us at the skate park this afternoon. It is nice to spend some time together outside of work and tours. It is nice because we get to relax together and have a chance to strengthen the friendships we have without being stressed to the point where we would constantly argue and fight with each other. I know that being on a tour bus with over six people means that eventually there will be fights from time to time. You do get tired of being around each other on a cramped tour bus so you end up taking your frustrations out on other people. Times like today are good because it is more recreational time with each other and the only thing that we could possible argue about is who buys lunch or dinner for everyone and who rides shotgun in a car if we car share.

"Will you be ready to go by half one?" Matt asks me, when he walks into my bedroom with a bowl of cereal in his hands. Matt doesn't live with me just yet. He doesn't want to make it official that we do live together just yet; I think we might want to wait until we get married or we are together longer until he moves in with me. We aren't ready to ready to move in yet. We are only staying with each other every now and then. He does however, likes to make me breakfast whenever he stays over at my house which I don't mind. This morning Matt made me a bowl of Lion cereal since that is the only cereal box I have in the house at the moment. It isn't my favourite cereal of all time but I enjoy it and I enjoy the slightly chocolatey milk that you get once you've eaten all the cereal and it's just milk left in the bowl.

Matt smiles when I drink the milk straight from the bowl by using it like it is a cup or a glass. I am not the only one who does this and I don't really care. "Never grow up Danny-bear," he tells me when I am done drinking from it and he takes the bowl away. I put my glasses on and give my loyal dog some attention while I wait a little while to feel awake enough to get out of bed this morning. Louis always enjoys the belly rubs I give him. Matt comes back and sat next to me in bed. He wrapped his arm around me and I snuggled up to him. "Good morning little bear," he tells me and I kiss his cheek and hug him tightly. "Good morning Mattie," I tell him. He smiles at me and Louie goes to sit on his lap.

I had a shower before I decide to get dressed for the day so Mattie isn't tempted to start a make out session with me which could lead to other things which I am not ready for yet. I am so sure that he wants to go the next step in our relationship but I am not ready and not there yet. I even deny every time he calls me hot or sexy. I'm not either of those things so I can't accept it when people call me hot. I always have a low view on myself; my self-esteem has never been particularly high. "Aw Danny, you should smile a lot today. You're one of the best skaters I know," Matt tells me and he plays with my hair. Matt always tries to make me feel better about myself even if it doesn't work.

He always knows when I am not feeling good about myself and I have the worst days with depression. Like I said he always tries to make me feel better about myself when he knows this. It doesn't always work though, some days I am too down to feel good about myself. He kisses me on the cheek again and I kiss him back as well because I love him and he is my boyfriend at the end of the day. Matt loves me back and it is completely obvious to the whole group that he is in love with me. Matt started talking about anything and everything that he knows makes me laugh including accents that he can put on. It worked, maybe a little too well since I fell off the bed because I am laughing too hard.

"Now you're out of bed you again you can get dressed for the day," Matt tells me as he stands above me with a smirk on his face. He reached down and tickled me for a couple of minutes for a couple of minutes and then he lets me get up. "You're a jerk," I tell him before I get up. I had put some boxers and a T-shirt on before I decided that I was too lazy to get dressed properly and decided to lie down back on the bed for a bit. I got dressed into some casual yet slightly smart clothes. We are only going to a local skate park after all; it's nowhere fancy so it wasn't necessary to wear smart clothes. I also find the outfit that I put on was the best for skating in and I don't feel like I was being restricted by my movements.

"Why do you come with me Mattie? You don't skate at all?" I ask him when we get into the car. "Because I love spending time with you and seeing you having fun makes me happy," Matt replies. I smile at him, there are plenty of things he could do when I am going skating, but he chooses to spend this time watching me have fun and he gets a little kick out of it. I love Mattie so much and I appreciate him just allowing himself to spend this time supporting me doing something that I love. He'll usually sit to one side of the bowl while we skate and not everyone in the band will skate really so Matt won't be on the side-lines on his own. I think only half of the band skate every time and the rest do it on their own terms.

We get to the skate park just as the rest of the band pull up in their cars. We all hugged before we got our boards out of the trunks of our cars. We all brought our skateboards but George and I doubt Mattie is going to skate today. George usually brings a book and makes sure that Matt isn't going to be lonely while we skate. We get so into it that we don't usually take a lot of breaks to drink or eat. Jordon said this is going to be the last time he is going to skate for a while. Dylan and Jorel will probably skate for a long time to come like I will because it is a fun hobby to do and Jorel sometimes mounts a go pro to his skateboard so he can get some sick footage for YouTube and Instagram. He puts it on my skateboard sometimes so he can get footage of tricks I do that he doesn't.

"Hey Danny, be careful today okay? I don't think anyone here would want you to end up in hospital with more injuries," Matt tells me before we start skating in the bowl. "Okay Matt," I reply. He knows that I try to be as careful as possible while I skate. I give him a kiss before I hop onto my skateboard and skate into the bowl to join my friends Jorel and Dylan. Jordon was talking to George and Matt for a moment and then he will join us. In the meantime I decided to show them all a new trick that I have just learned and mastered after months of practising. They were all impressed when I managed to get it right. It was the first time that I have managed to do this in front of people without completely fucking it up.

I'm still learning tricks so it was going to be a while before I can show off everything that I have been learning since I started skating at a young age. When you learn how to skate you do end up falling off a few times which I have certainly done. It resulted in various cuts, scrapes and bruises all over me when I did fall. If I do fall when Scarlett is over at mine then she will make me end up with Hello Kitty Band-Aids on the cuts after she cleans them and she has her own little first aid kit with Daddy written on a sticky note and a little skateboard drawn underneath it. She always is so gentle when she cleans my cuts which is something that she has picked up of Theresa because she was gentle with me when we were together and she does it all the time with all her patients which includes Scarlett. She's always been such a helpful child, which is another reason why I love how Scarlett is turning out as a young child.

~flashback~ 3 months ago

Scarlett is sitting on the front step while I showed her and Kyle some of my skateboard tricks. Louie was watching me skate as well. That was until Louie decided that he wanted to bite my skateboard while I was on it. It sent me flying across my driveway and I landed on the asphalt at the end of the driveway. It felt like it was happening in slow motion in reality it was only a few seconds long. Scarlett and Kyle ran to be by my side in seconds. They were both trying to get me to answer their questions on if I was feeling okay but I know I hit my head quite hard so I am feeling a bit dazed at the moment so I couldn't really answer them.

I could hear Scarlett running back into the house while Kyle keeps trying to get me to talk to him. I'm still very much dazed so it's going to take him some time to get a reaction and response out of me. One of the neighbours had seen my accident and had their phone out and they were standing next to Kyle. They were talking to each other more than me because I couldn't form any words to respond to them and I was sure they are talking about me and my accident. Then for me everything went blank for a few moments then the next thing I could hear and see was Scarlett calling me daddy like she usually does and Kyle was talking to someone on the phone now and the neighbour had left now. I managed to look at my daughter and turned my head to make looking at her easier.

"Hold on, I think he is reacting now," Kyle says to whoever is on the other end of the line. He puts his free hand on my forehead and I turn to look at him now and give him a weak smile. "Welcome back Danny," he tells me and I roll my eyes at him even though they sting because while I was really dazed I probably didn't blink. "I didn't go anywhere?" I ask him and he smiles at me. "He seems to be back to his usual self now, but I am not too sure though Reese," he tells my ex-wife who is on the phone. I guess that she had to be called because she can give Kyle medical advice for treating me and she might have to pick our daughter up earlier. I jumped when I felt something cold and damp sting parts of me which I had a cut or a scrape on. "Sorry Daddy, I'm cleaning the paw paws," Scarlett tells me. I don't really know how injured I am, all I know is that I briefly zoned out.

"Yeah, Scarlett's patching him up right now. It might be worth you coming over and checking him over and stitching a few of the cuts just to be on the safe side. He was in a daze for a while so he might have a minor head injury," Kyle says and he gets some hair out of my face so I can see a little better. I could tell that I am still a little bit out of it at the moment as well. I am also having a lot of Hello Kitty Band-Aids placed on my minor cuts courtesy of my lovely daughter Scarlett and my special medical kit. There are a couple of cuts that need stitches as far as I know. "Danny, are you still with us?" Kyle asks me after I blinked a few times in a row. "I think so," I tell him, moving one of my hands slightly to hold his which was reaching for mine.

Kyle hung up on Theresa so she can come over and check on me as fast as she possibly could. He decided that I needed to stop being on my back and sitting up so it will be easier to get me into the house. I remember landing on my face and rolling onto my back which is why I ended up where I am now. I got light-headed a few times while I got up into a sitting position. Scarlett got me some chocolate from her stash and I was slowly munching on it when Theresa arrived at the house. "Aw Danny, you can't stay unharmed for more than a month can you?" she tells me. I give her a little smile because the pain was becoming more noticeable now. "Not when Louie decides he wants to bite my skateboard," I reply and the mentioned dog was lying by the other side of me. "Naughty Louie," Theresa tells the Red English Bulldog who only wagged his tiny little tail in reply.

I am a little worried that she might cut my weekend with Scarlett short, but that will depend on how I do for the rest of her visit and whether or not I improve enough that she'll be happy with. She did some basic first aid checks that she learned in like basic training and then helped Kyle me get into the house since it was quite sunny and warm out and it will be better for me to be inside. Scarlett got her little first aid kit and stands close to me the entire time I am on the couch now. "I'm so sorry Danny; I was in such a rush that I didn't bring any numbing cream with me for the stitches," Theresa tells me. I shrug and smile at her. "I'm a big boy Reese, I'm sure I can handle it," I tell her. I am used to being in pain after falling off my skateboard so many times before.

"An ice pack will do the same thing as numbing cream right?" Kyle asks Theresa when he walks back into the room. He doesn't want me to be in any sort of pain if he can't prevent it and even if I could handle it and he'd probably give me some pain killers as well. "Yeah do you have one Dan?" she asks me. "Yeah, it's in the second drawer down in the freezer," I reply and Scarlett goes to get them and a kitchen towel to wrap around the ice pack. She's such a cute little helper and I love her so much. Reese put it on my cuts and left it there while she prepared the things she needed to sort out the deeper cuts from my little fall. Scarlett was very gently holding it in place even though she knew it was going to numb my skin and stuff. She's so caring for a young child which I don't think a lot of children are anymore.

All the injuries Theresa has to work on were sorted out within half an hour and that included waiting for the area to go numb with icepacks. It turns out it wasn't as painful as I was anticipating but I was slightly numb in those areas too. "Well, you've been a big brave boy Danny. I'm proud," Theresa tells me and I laugh a little bit. "Daddy is a brave boy," Scarlett says in agreement with her mom and starts to place little kisses on all the band aids all over me. As time was going on I was starting to feel better as I was recovering. "Did I make it all better Daddy?" Scarlett asks me with hope in her chocolate brown eyes. "You did make it all better Scarlett," I tell my daughter who cheers. I love how happy she gets when she knows she has done something which has had a positive effect on people around her.

"You better keep up your good job of looking after your daddy Scarlett," Theresa says as she clears up all her first aid stuff and prepares to leave. "I will mama, he's not going to move from this sofa without my say so," she replies and Kyle and I chuckle. Reese gives us both a kiss on the cheek before she leaves me with Scarlett for the rest of our weekend. Since Scarlett isn't going to let me move unless I need the bathroom I decide to relax with her snuggled into my side carefully. "I love you this much daddy," she says, stretching her arms as far as they can go to the side. I give her a kiss and she has a big smile on her face. "I love you to the moon and back baby girl," I tell her and I feel glad that I'm not in hospital right now and I got off lightly.

~present day~ D.P.O.V

Since that incident Matt has been worrying a little more about me and gets more nervous when I get on my board than he used to. He doesn't want me to get involved in another accident and that's fair enough. If Theresa didn't come that day to check me over and patch me up again then Matt would have come home to me in a worse state than he found me and I would have ended up in the emergency room that night. I have been doing fine since then and I have managed to avoid ending up in another accident. I am not sure I will ever really understand why Louie thought it was necessary to bite my skateboard. I still really enjoy skateboarding even though I have been injured several times while doing it. It makes me more relaxed and I have more fun with my friends. I decided to take a break after I had been skating for an hour.

"You're so talented little lion," Matt tells me when I join them at the fence which surrounds the skate park. "Thanks babe," I reply and I sat down next to him and George making them budge up a little bit so I could fit between them. Matt wraps his arm around my shoulder and I snuggle into his side. "Don't worry Matt, there are no Louie dogs here to bite Danny's board this time," George tells, him teasing him a little bit over his overprotectiveness when it comes to me and falling. I chuckled at the comment while Matt flipped George off. "I can't help worrying over him, trouble should be his middle name I swear," Matt says defensively. I kiss his cheek and hug him tightly. "I know babe, I'm a big boy though so if I get hurt then I'm gonna be okay. I won't cry over it," I tell him, which I could tell eased him nerves a little bit. He will still be nervous until we leave the skate park later but his nerves aren't as bad now.

I took a twenty minute break with my boyfriend and George and we were just chatting about our daughters and any proud father moments we have had recently. When I decided to go back and re-join Dylan and Jorel in the bowl, Jordan decided it was time for him to take a break and he wanted to talk to his wife for a bit. Jorel and I decided we were going to start doing some tricks at the same time and it looked really good. It looked like we actually knew what we were doing when in reality we were making it up on the spot as we went along. We never hit each other once while we were doing our synchronised tricks. George was recording us the whole time with a massive grin on his face. I am sure that this will end up on Instagram or Facebook or both at some point. We are having so much fun together which was the whole point of the meet up.

Jorel had a minor fall and I went over to him to protect him in case any of the other people in the bowl decided that they would dare do anything while he gets up. He has a couple of grazes and it took him a couple of minutes to get up to his feet but I am still protective of my older brother so I stayed by his side the whole time. "Thanks Dan, appreciate you having my back like that," Jorel tells me as we get going again on our boards. "No worries dude, I will always have you back and you'll have mine," I tell him. He nods and we watch Dylan take his break for five minutes. Jordon's still on the phone to Randi and I know he will be joining us soon. They just love to talk to each other even though they will be seeing each other tonight and stuff.

Then, just as Jordon was ready to join us, Matt's worst fears come to pass. I got involved in an accident as a wise guy thought it would be funny to knock into my board while I was going quite fast. It sends me speeding in the wrong direction and I hit the railing and went over it before landing in the side of the bowl and sliding down to the bottom. I crashed really hard and I was going to be hurting all over but I managed to sit up just as Jorel ran over to cover me. "Jesus Danny, are you okay?" he asks, slightly panicking because my fall was way worse than his. "I think so, not had chance to check yet," I tell him and I know I am in a bit of shock so I can't really feel much at the moment. I'm sure there is some damage to my knee and possibly my collarbone after I flipped over the rails before I hit the side. "Let's get you out the bowl before anymore wise guys try anything," Jorel tells me.

I cried out when he tried to help me up to my feet by holding my left arm so he let me down again gently to the ground. Dylan and Jordon came over on their boards as fast as they could and they formed a little protective barrier around me and Jorel. George came running over as he is the only one who felt confident enough to lift me up. "What's hurt Danny?" he asks me and I look at him. I try and move my left arm but I wince. "I think I have done something to my knee and my collarbone," I tell him. He rubbed my back comfortingly and then picked me up carefully so he could carry me out of the bowl and back to Matt. The other skaters let him carry me out without issue and Matt greeted us when I was put down on the grass. He kissed me a few times and I kissed him back a couple of times.

"Danny needs to go to the emergency department, I have a sneaking suspicion that his collarbone is broken and there are other injuries," George tells Matt before he goes to call the ambulance for me. My boyfriend is holding me up very gently and tried not to make my injuries worse or hurt me more. I'm still in shock somewhat so I didn't really respond to either of them. I did keep crying out in pain whenever someone touched my collarbone or moved my knee. "Don't worry Danny-bear, we'll make you all better soon," Matt tells me, this was painful for him to see I guess. I was in so much pain I had started to tear up. He also knows how I feel about hospitals so he is going to want to keep me calm before they get here and while I'm in the emergency room. Jorel came up with my board in his hands and took it to Matt's car.

"Maybe Theresa will be in the emergency room today, you'll feel a bit better and more at ease with her there," Dylan teases, knowing full well I am still friends with my ex-wife. I shrug, a bad idea considering the state of my collarbone and it made the pain that I had already worse. "Yeah, maybe she'll be there. I might be too out of it to even notice who is taking care of me, they might give me really strong medication or something," I manage to tell Dylan and man did it take me too long to say that. I was barely with it at this current moment so who knows about how I might be feeling by the time I get to the hospital. I might feel more with it by the time I am in the ambulance and on the way to the hospital. I was starting to feel really lightheaded though so it's looking more likely that I'm going to be worse.

I was right about going to be worse. I passed out before I got to the hospital and I think just as the paramedics arrived to take me to the hospital. "Hey Danny, you and skateboards are starting to become a really dangerous mix," Theresa tells me when see notices I have just woken up from being passed out. "Yeah, I guess but they're not really my fault. I didn't cause the accidents I have been involved in though both times you've known recently," I tell her. She takes my good hand in hers which does have the IV cannula in but she knows how to avoid it. She smiles at me and I manage a weak one back. My left arm was in a sling so they must have done some treatments on me while I was unconscious.

"It's lucky for you that they've allowed me to treat you. I think that your reaction would have been worse if you had woken up on your own," she tells me. I chuckle a little bit. "Yeah, I feel at ease even though I have no idea how long I have been here already and how long I was passed out for," I tell her, letting her know I am feeling a little bit confused. She looks into my eyes for a moment to check if I have a concussion or not. "Based on what Matt told me you have been unconscious for an hour and the doctors have patched up your cuts and grazes and gave you the knee support until they have decided what to do about your knee and they also need to X-ray you to confirm whether or not your collarbone is broken," she tells me.

"Why didn't they x-ray me before I came round? It would have been so much easier then?" I ask her. I know she'll let me see whoever came in the ambulance with me soon once they have finished treating me for the time being. If I have been here for an hour then they must be worried, I know Matt is here but that's it. "They thought you were going to come round while they did the x-ray so they decided to wait until you came round and had medicine because you would have been in so much pain after they moved you around a lot from stretcher to machine and back," Theresa explains to me. That actually makes sense the more I think about it, if I came round while they were transferring me from stretcher to x-ray and back I would have freaked out and possibly lashed out even though that isn't likely. "Who has come to see me?" I ask her. I kinda want to know if Mattie has left me on my own or not.

"Mattie is waiting with George in the family room, the doctor won't allow visitors until the treatment is done," she answers then that doctor who is in charge of my care walks into the room and seemed really surprised that I am currently awake. "Daniel, nice to see you're awake now. How do you feel?" he asks me, picking up my chart from the foot of the bed. "Battered, I honest feel like something hit me not me hitting stuff. I think I'll be okay though," I tell him and he scribbles something down on his chart. I don't really move my arm that much, I made that mistake at the skate park but I don't know for sure if I have broken anything. He did some tests on me to test my memory and stuff like that and I did fine on them. I don't have a concussion or memory loss because I didn't hit my head, I just hit everything else.

Then he told me my knee was just sprained and it should be fine as long as I stay off my feet for a couple of weeks and then start weight bearing slowly and steadily. I will have the knee support on for six weeks to make sure the injuries heal nicely. He also said I might have to wait five minutes for the x-ray to be available to check my collarbone out and then my friends can see me. I need pain medication to work first before they even think of moving me and I know the x-ray is being used by higher priority patients who are all sicker than me. I'll be a good patient and wait even though I really want to leave this place. "Hey, you and Matt can have Scarlett the day after you get discharged," Theresa tells me once my main doctor left. Once Scarlett finds out I have been hurt again and I ended up in the emergency room she'll get worried and want to see me quite soon to make sure for herself that I'm fine.

"If that's fine be you and what you want then sure," I tell her. Another doctor walks in which cut our conversation a little short but he wrote down my vitals on the chart which confused me because I thought the other doctor had done that already. Then I am left completely on my own for two minutes while Theresa updates Matt and George and I get taken down to x-ray. I'll be able to find out how badly I have managed to injure myself this time. It hurt me a bit when they moved me despite being on morphine but I braved through it knowing that it hadn't really kicked in yet. The fall probably has left me with at least one broken bone which would be my collarbone. My sprained/slightly torn knee ligaments will definitely heal without surgery which is good. I am back in my room within twenty minutes and Theresa joined me. Now I just need to wait for the results and then find out when I can go home to my friends and boyfriend.

It was a further five minutes before my main doctor came back and he had the x-ray in his hands. I know they mostly do it digitally but there was no monitor for that here and I wasn't really allowed off the bed to see it. I hope he has the news I have been waiting for, I just want to go home now. "Hello Daniel, I have your x-ray results back," he tells me and he places it on the light screen that would let me see the damage for myself. I smiled at him. "How bad is it?" I ask him and he lets me and Theresa have a proper look and we could both tell I have had a nasty break. I am guessing now they will give me a different sling to what I have on now and then give me medication to manage the pain and send me home. "How long do I have to stay here for now?" I ask him and Theresa squeezes my good hand, she knows I am fed up now and I have done well so far. "Well, we have to give you a new sling to wear for the next six to eight weeks and you do need a wheelchair so you can stay off that leg," he tells me.

So that means I can go home today basically. It won't take them that long to get me those items they mentioned and get a prescription filled out for me. So Matt and George can see me now until I go home and then as long as they want after that because it's up to them when they want to see me outside of hospitals they aren't restricted to a set visiting time. The doctor left again and a minute later Matt and George walk in, giving me sympathetic smiles. Theresa mentioned something about food and left. "Hey buddy, how are you feeling?" George asks me and Matt takes over holding my right hand which used to have an IV cannula in but they took it out. "Bit battered, not feeling like a truck has hit me much anymore but considering I have a broken collarbone and some sprained knee ligaments I'm alright," I tell them and then Theresa returned with food and a drink for me. I didn't even realise I was hungry until she gave them to me.

"Thanks Reese," I tell her as she puts them on the tray she moved in front of me. "You're being spoiled in here Danny. A room to yourself and a nurse to dote on your every need," Matt tells me and I chuckled at him. They were smiling at me again and it weirded me out a little bit. I am a lot more relaxed here than I have been in the past but that is because Theresa and the guys are here to calm me down. "I know how nervous Danny gets in this place so I decided to stay and be nice to him rather than leave him on his own and be horrible," Theresa tells them and I know she would never really be horrible to me. We didn't have that kind of break up. I get an awkward hug off her because she was being careful with my collarbone. "When can we take him home? Do we have to bubble wrap him first?" Matt asks and I send a glare his way. I so do NOT need being wrapped up in bubble wrap.

Theresa helps me with the drink since Matt wouldn't let go of my hand. "He'll be able to leave when he gets the new sling and the wheelchair along with some prescribed pain pills. He won't need bubble wrapping but he will need to stay off his feet for two weeks and keep the supports on for six to eight weeks," Theresa explains and I paused in my drinking to let out an audible sigh of relief. They understood all of it and Theresa took the cup away once I was done with it. "That's alright, we'll make sure he takes it easy and rests without resorting to bubble wrap," George tells me and Reese. Matt kisses the top of my head and I kiss his cheek without making the pain I was in worse. "That's fine by me, just don't baby me too much please," I tell the guys.

Theresa chuckles at the conversation. She knows that as I am the second youngest in the group they do tend to get protective of me and they do want to look after me whenever I end up getting sick or hurt in some way. I try not to complain too much when they do it because I know they have my best interests at heart even if I don't agree with what they are doing. "Yeah, he does need looking after sometimes just don't go overboard or he'll get mad," Theresa tells them. I like how we have remained as close as we were before we got married even though we are divorced now. A nurse walked in with the equipment and said the pills were gonna be a little while longer because of a queue or something. She fitted the sling on me and showed us how to do it and what way was best for me to get in and out of the wheelchair.

An hour later and I am finally allowed to go home with the medication and equipment I need to recover at home. Matt lets me ride shotgun so I could rest my leg as much as possible. I was told by George that the others went straight to his to wait for us to get back so my room wasn't overcrowded after they saw my eyes roll back and I passed out in Matt's arms with George leaning over me trying to get a response. They weren't even sure I was breathing at that point. They were all scared by how quickly I managed to deteriorate. They don't know the true extent of my injuries but they guess it's bad. George is in the driver's seat and he was being careful to avoid making the pain worse for me. They made me take two of the pills they gave me since the morphine wore off while I was waiting and they made me feel a bit sleepy. "Try and stay awake five more minutes Danny-bear, we are nearly there," George says as he looks over to me and my eyes were shutting on their own.

I blinked a few times to try and stay awake for them. George did speed a little bit so he got us home relatively quickly but then again there wasn't much traffic for once. Theresa arranged for Scarlett to come and spend the day with me tomorrow since they all agreed tonight should be spend just resting. "Oh by the way, you're staying at mine tonight Danny. Asia wants to make sure you're okay as well," George tells me as he pulls into the driveway. I sleepily nod at him; I think one car ride is enough for me right now. I couldn't handle another one tonight. "Hey Danny, you managed to stay awake for the whole car ride just about," Matt tells me and I smile at him. I won't be staying awake for too much longer, I am too tired and my eyes keep shutting when I don't want them to.

George carefully carries me inside and straight to the couch which looked like it at been set up for me to be sleeping on it and I would be comfortable for the night. They left the wheelchair in the car because they were going to take care of most of my needs while I am on the sofa and I am sure I can ask George to carry me to the toilet when I need to go. I can't immediately see the rest of the band but I can hear them talking in the kitchen. Asia saw George walk in the house so she walked over to me with a soft blanket to cover me with. "Hey Danny, how are you feeling now?" she asks me when the rest of the band walks in. "A bit sore but I'll be okay in a bit, once my injuries heal. I feel more like I have been hit by a truck than I have hit the side of a bowl," I tell her and the others hear it, Jorel comes to sit next to me carefully.

"Yeah and you'll be getting plenty of rest while you heal," Jorel tells me and he carefully sweeps the hair out of my face. I knew Matt was smiling at me and felt proud I was accepting help for some things. "Babe, why don't you get some sleep now? You nearly fell asleep in the car on the way here," Matt tells me and he comes to give me a kiss. He gives me a kiss on the lips and I kiss him back. My eyes flutter closed again and I open them again. Jorel helped rearrange the pillows and cushions to make me feel comfortable enough that I managed to fall asleep after a few minutes of trying to sleep. Matt and Jorel will keep an eye on me and George and Asia will make sure I am well looked after while I am here.

That's the end of this one shot. Thanks for reading this one. I am still open for reviews and I will get to the reviews as soon as I am able to. I might be busy with college work for the next few weeks though and I am working on the last chapter of To Love a Teacher.
