Chapter 28: Home, Sweet Home
Daisy pushed Shelby in her wheelchair down the hall to the lobby so she could sign out. Everyone was ecstatic that she was finally well enough to go home, and that they would not have to spend hours in such a dismal place. Scott followed closely behind the two, and the rest of the group after him.
"We'll be at your apartment at 5, then," Auggie said, giving her a kiss on the cheek, followed by Ezra and David. Shelby, Daisy, and Scott waved goodbye to all of them, as well as Juliette and Peter, as they left for their cars.
"I'll be right back," Scott said, as he left Daisy and Shelby behind so he could get his car to take them to Shelby's apartment.
As Scott left, Daisy sat on a bench beside Shelby. "So, how are you doing?" she asked.
"Great. I can honestly say that I feel great. Scott is one of the few people that can make me feel good about myself, and now that he is back in my life...I just feel great."
Daisy smiled, glad that her friend was beginning to get back in control of her life. "So tonight, what is all of it for?"
Shelby thought for a second before answering. "I have just waited so long to make it this far, that I want to be able to laugh about something that has happened in my life. I see this as that moment," she replied.
It did not take long for Scott to pull up with his car, and after he parked, he hopped out to help Shelby get in. She was still fairly weak, but getting stronger with every hour, it seemed. After Shelby rose from the wheelchair, Daisy pushed it back inside and gave it to a nurse within. When she returned, she hopped in and Scott started the car to begin their journey home, leaving their pain behind in the hospital, where they had spent so many days.
The ride to Shelby's apartment was fairly quiet, and not much conversation took place. As they pulled up to the building, Shelby felt a sense of relief. She was home, and ready to leave the past behind her.
Scott climbed out of the car and opened the door to let Shelby out. However, before she could step onto the group, he had her in his arms, ready to carry her home. "Scott, I can walk," she told him.
"I know. I just like this idea better," Scott said as the two of them took off, leaving Daisy smiling as she gathered the rest of their things.
When Daisy stepped into the apartment, she found it looking the same way that it had when they had left to go to the hospital. The bathroom, of course, was cleaned up, but there were still dishes in the sink and the same video remained in the VCR. Shelby was lying on the couch, as Scott ran around trying to tidy things up a bit.
"So, Shel...Do think they'll buy it? If it does work, boy will it be funny," Daisy said, laughing slightly.
"I hope it works," she replied, with her eyes closed.
