If Only We Could (Woodland demars X reader)

The nurse emerged from the room, and Woods approached him anxiously. "Is she okay?" he inquired. "Well, she's been through a lot, like rape," the nurse replied solemnly. "Oh, god," Emily gasped in shock. "But you can go see her; she's sleeping right now. If one of you wants to stay with her, just let me know, and I'll get the bed set up," the nurse offered. "Me and Emily will take turns," Woods decided. "Okay, her room is B45," the nurse informed them. They all made their way to the room, where the nurse had already set up the bed. Matt settled into the chair, while Emily and Woods sat down on the bed where they were going to be sleeping. You blinked awake and found your friends around you. "Hey, guys," you greeted with a smile. "Y/N!" they all exclaimed, prompting you to shush them. "Sorry," they apologized in hushed tones. Woods approached and enveloped you in a hug. "I want to go home," you expressed softly. "I know, but the doctor wants you here for at least two days," Woods replied, squeezing your hand. "Matt, I'll catch up on my work when I'm back," you assured him. "Don't worry, Y/N, your health comes first," he reassured with a smile. After everyone else left, Woods remained, sleeping on the guest bed. The next morning, the doctor informed Woods that you could be discharged. He gently woke you up, saying, "Hey, Y/N, you can leave today." Surprised, you replied, "I thought they said two days." "Well, you're lucky," he chuckled. You slowly got out of bed, heading for a shower. Emily had dropped off clothes earlier, so you changed into a burgundy sweater, a black lace bra, and ripped jeans.

You stepped into the waiting room and hugged Emily and Woods before noticing Matt doing paperwork. "What's he doing?" you asked. Emily explained, "Well, since your family is in Canada and Matt is your boss, he's taking care of your paperwork." You thanked Matt as he finished up. Later, you all returned to Emily and your apartment to relax. Matt took charge of cooking dinner while Woods went grocery shopping. You and Emily entertained yourselves with Mario Kart. When Woods returned, he brought groceries wine and sparkling water for you, knowing you don't drink because of alex. After the food was ready, you all gathered around the table, enjoying the meal and engaging in lively conversation about various topics. Laughter filled the room as stories were shared. Once everyone finished eating, you volunteered to do the dishes while Matt had to leave. However, Woods decided to stay over for a sleepover since you lived closer to the studio. After finishing the dishes, you retreated to your room and delved into drawing, a hobby you hadn't pursued in a while. You planned to take up photography again the next day. A knock on the door interrupted your thoughts. "Hey, Woods," you greeted. "What's up?" "I'm not tired, so I came to see what you were doing," he explained. "I'm drawing," you replied. "Can I come in and see?" Woods asked. You nodded, making space for him to sit beside you. As you sketched, capturing the essence of the Dope or Nope video with Matt and Woods, you explained, "It's not finished yet." Woods admired it, saying, "Woah, that's so cool. I love that." He stayed with you as you completed the drawing, and together, you hung it on your wall. Standing in front of the finished piece, Woods complimented, "You did great." Later, Woods bid you goodnight and headed to bed, while you followed suit after finishing your book. The next morning, you woke to find Woods gone to work. With Emily at the coffee shop and Woods at work, you found yourself with a day off due to recent events. Eager to indulge in your passion, you grabbed your camera bag and headed to a nearby forest. Amidst the serene surroundings, you pulled out your camera and began capturing the beauty of nature-trees, animals, and all. Suddenly, a fox, one of your favorite animals, emerged. You swiftly snapped a photo, feeling a sense of joy as you admired the shot.

After spending a few hours in the forest, you headed to the print shop to get the photo of the fox printed. As you left, Woods called, and you answered, "Hello?" "Hey, Y/N, Matt wants to know if Luna can come over to you and Emily's house because we're staying at work for the night until around 12. Emily is also helping us," Woods explained. "Uh, yeah, that's fine," you replied. After hanging up, you drove back to the apartment to prepare for Luna's visit. When Matt knocked on the door, you opened it, and Luna rushed over to you. Smiling, you picked her up as Matt thanked you, to which you replied, "No problem." After Matt left, you settled Luna on the couch, putting on her favorite show while you prepared dinner. Later, you all gathered around the table to eat before retreating to your room to watch a movie until Luna fell asleep. Eventually, you drifted off too, only to wake up to the sight of Emily cooking breakfast and Luna playing with her toys. Stretching, you rubbed your eyes before heading to the shower. Afterward, you changed into a white tank top, jeans, and a brown sweater.

As you sat down to eat breakfast, you received a text from Woods, informing you that Luna could come to work with you. They also needed you for the second part of the Nope or Nope video, as the equipment had finally arrived. Quickly, you gathered Luna and her toys, and Emily drove you to the studio. Surprisingly, she came in with you, adding to your confusion as the lights were off inside. Turning them on, you were greeted by everyone jumping up, shouting, "Welcome back!" Luna laughed as you put her down, and you couldn't help but smile. After exchanging hugs with everyone, you took a deep breath and kissed Woods, surprising him. He kissed you back, and amidst the laughter, Sam exclaimed, "Finally!" as you broke away, adding to the joyful atmosphere.
