Chapter/Part: 14

As soon as everyone (excluding Simon of course.) woke up the next day. After breakfast they started to fix the house and garage. Lucy and Kevin got what they could of their stuff. The other's got what they could from the kitchen and everywhere else where it was a mess. Then they cleaned the hallway and made it look almost new. That took all of the morning. They had lunch and discussed what game plan they should have. The living room looked the easiest so that would be first. Second would be the kitchen. Then the stairs and then they'd clean whatever was a mess up there.

Mary was the first on done with lunch. She knew her family needed her but also knew she needed to talk to Simon soon.

"Mum, Dad I'll be home in a bit. I need to go on somewhere." Mary said hoping that her parents would take it.

"Um, ok. See you in a bit then." Eric said. "Where are you going?" Annie asked.

"I would tell you if I wanted you to know. It's not anything crazy. When I come home if I feel okay enough to tell you I will ok?" Mary said. She would ask Simon if he cared for her to tell.

"Ok I guess. Bye."

Mary got in her car and drove to the hospital. She had no idea what mood Simon would be in. She was hoping the same on as the other night. That went good and hopefully now would too. She walk to his room and listened at the door. It sounded like he was watching TV. So she opened the door and slipped in.

"Hello dude." She said.

"Hey. What you are doing here?" Simon said surprised.

"Well we had a talk to finish. Yes, I know the house needs done; but we need to get on with the conversation before you go home. So are ready to get done?"

"Sure I guess."

"OK well as you weren't there last night I'll tell you that I told everyone last night."

"Told them what?" Simon said panicky.

"That I eloped. I told them the story and asked dad to help. Which, he said he'll do. I was nervous. They asked why I was here and everyone was there so I just went on and told them. I'd do anything not to do that again. Nonetheless I did."

"That's good you told everyone though. I mean it would have been harder to do it later. Then if you didn't then it wouldn't be fair then you'd feel guilty."

"Yes that's what I thought when everyone asked. So out with it I did. (they laughed at that.) So how are you feeling after yesterday?"

"Fine. Dr. Stone said I might be able to go home in three days. He doesn't know for sure though. So don't tell anyone. I was glad I helped calm a women and a nurse. That was good. I'm not sorry I went to the window and looked out either. It was cool to watch. I could have done without the glass but oh well."

"Ok. So what do you think of the accident? Any better?" Mary asked.

They didn't know Hank and his doctor were at the door. Hank was surprise but kept quite. The doctor was amazed at the exchange the two gave each other.

"Well, I still think if I did something a little different none of this would have happened. Nobody yesterday said it wasn't my fault. I know we really didn't talk about it but I would have liked someone to comment."

"No one did comment did they. Hum. Well it wasn't your fault and you need to let it go."

"But I can't. I mean I can but it's hard. I think what if it was Ruthie that got hurt more than me. What if Cecilia did?" Simon said desperately.

"Relax Simon. Don't think that. Ruthie and Cecilia are fine. Ruthie is even helping with the house. She a trooper. Cecilia I'm sure is doing just fine. I bet if she hasn't come yet that she will. So forget those thoughts. It wasn't you fault and nothing you think is going to help you in anyway. But the way aren't you suppose to be relaxing and healing up?"

"I don't know am I?"

"Simon." Mary said in an even tone.

"Ok yes I am. No Cecilia won't come I told her not to visit until I got home. Ruthie is helping huh? That's good. I'm glad. Of course she's a trooper. She's great too."

"Yes. I need to go. I told mum and dad I wouldn't be long. Will you be ok if I go?"

"Yes."

"Ok love you. See you tomorrow. Bye." Mary said.

"Ok bye."

Hank and Dr. Stone quickly moved away to the corner. As Mary walked out they walked around it.

"Mary. What are you doing here?" Hank asked her causally.

"Hi. Uncle Hank. I was seeing Simon. How are you?"

"Oh. Were on our way there now. I'm fine you?"

"I'm good. Well I need to get home and help the rest of the family. Bye."

"Bye. Tell them I said hi."

"I will." Mary said. She forgot to ask Simon if she could tell. Mary didn't want to betray his trust but thought it would be ok to tell them. They need to know.

Mary left and went home. She helped with the rest of the stuff they had left. Hank and Dr. Stone walked into Simon's room. Dr. Stone gave him good news.

"Well Simon if you are doing this good tomorrow you can go home the day after that."

"Cool. Simon said."

The lines are still down at your house. So on my way home I'll tell your family. Ok?" Hank said.

"Ok."

Simon went back to watching TV. Which he ended up falling asleep. Mary was at home. The worked until 9 at the house. I would be done in a day or two if they kept up with the speed they were working. They went back to where they where staying. (same place as Mary.) Mary did tell them that she went to see Simon. She also brought up he felt guilty even after 2 attempts to change his mind. Everyone agreed they'd have to bring it up. Hank did stop by and told them the news.

The next day they got everything picked up downstairs and fixed. The stair people (a/n: no idea what to call them) came and fixed them. So after that everyone went upstairs and looked around. Surprisingly nothing major happened so it was easy. They left the kitten and living room unpainted for Simon. He who was coming home the next day. Everyone was going to sleep in there own beds when Simon did.

I know I probably have a lot of mistakes in here. All my other chapters do too. As soon as I get the next chapter up. (I think it'll be the last.) I'm going to go re-through it and fix everything.
