Ryan, Luke and Summer managed to get back before everyone else. Seth called to them that they were indeed going to make a supermarket run. It was 7am, and a supermarket that was on the way back from the hospital happened to be open. It took some effort to get Ryan safely into the house, and comfortably adjusted on the couch. Luke was exhausted, but he knew he'd be able to sleep as soon as Ryan was settled. Ryan was so far gone on pain, pain meds and sheer exhaustion that he didn't protest as Summer fussed over him and Luke practically carried him from the truck into the lodge. It would never be mentioned again.
Finally, Luke and Summer dropped exhausted onto the chairs next to Ryan, both too tired to even make it back to their own beds, and reluctant to leave Ryan alone until they were sure he was asleep. Ryan, even in his hazy state, could sense just how tired Luke and Summer were, and was reluctant to ask for anything, even though his knee was hurting badly after the jostling to get him into the house and he wanted to take more pain medication to try and calm it and get some sleep. But if he took the medication, he would need water. If he drank water he would need to pee, and if he needed to pee- well, there was just no way he was going to ask for Luke's help with that one. He also wanted to keep the pain meds concealed after what the doctor had said- the fewer people who even knew he had them, the better.
For lack of anything else to do, and uncomfortable in the silence, Luke flicked on the television. An old Bugs Bunny cartoon was playing, and for some reason, Luke felt compelled to leave it on. It was old, familiar, and kind of funny. He glanced over at Summer and noticed her starting to smile and giggle slightly when Elmer Fudd accidently blasted himself with his own gun. Even Ryan was hazily smiling at the TV.
By the time everyone else got home, they had all dissolved into outright, over- tired laughter at the cartoon antics. "Wow… Did someone release laughing gas in here or something?" Seth asked, as he observed Summer, who upside down on her chair and red in the face, and giggling hysterically.
"Oh my god Seth, this is the funniest thing I have seen!" She declared.
"I see that…" Seth raised his eyebrows at Anna who just shrugged. "Guys hungry? We got food."
"Nah, that's cool." Luke got to his feet, "I'm going to bed. Figure we'll hit the road after I've gotten some sleep."
"Yeah, me too…" Summer said, managing to get to her feet. She glanced backwards as she left the living room and when no one was looking, slipped into Luke's room.
"Summer!" He jumped in surprise when she caught him without his shirt on.
"Shhh…"
"What are you doing here?" He hissed.
"I'm just not in the mood to be alone right now," She said, taking off her sweater, and climbing into his bed.
"Yeah but… " Then he brightened, "So can we…?"
"No," And she turned over onto her side, and adjusted her pillow. Not sure what else to do, Luke climbed in next to her. She snuggled against him and he let his arm fall over her. Soon both were fast asleep.
