Thank you very much for reading:)
Don't own a damn thing.
To say that time stood still would be cliché but, to not say it, it would be a lie.
"Hey."
That was the first thing she would say every time they talked and he had to imagine the smile on her face for months and now he didn't.
"Hey.", he managed to say it in low voice.
The smile on her face widened a little as she walked inside with a slight limp;
"Welcome back!", Benji greeted her with a smile and a big hug;
"Thanks Benji.", she laughed but was warmed by his actions.
She was greeted the same way by her other two teammates, all the while sensing his eyes on her.
"You have no idea how happy we are to see you.", Brandt said as he pulled a chair for her to sit;
"Yeah, now that you're here, Benji won't have to leave the van.", Luther added with a chuckle;
She sat down with a wince that didn't go unnoticed by everyone, "Well, sorry Benji, I might need some time before I can relieve you from your non-van duties.", she tried to make it sound light, but her friends didn't think it was funny.
Then, he walked towards her and kneeled in front of her;
"You were supposed to stay for another two weeks.", he said gently while lifting the injured leg to his knee and took her shoe off.
She could barely keep the water works from flowing;
"Yeah, well, you were driving them crazy.",
He looked up to see the smile on her face and his heart could've burst.
They kept staring at each other which made it a little uncomfortable for the rest of the people ;
"Alright...", Brandt started, "...before it gets more awkward than it already is, we are going to leave."
The other men followed quickly and without any words closed the door behind them.
