Stranger Not So Danger

Chapter 32 ~ I'm Okay

I slowly made my way into the restaurant and we waited for our booth to be ready.

When the lady ushered us to our booth, I followed closely behind mom and dad, while Aaron guided me from behind.

"Okay Linds, order whatever you want. We're celebrating your release." my mom said.

"Thank you." I said with a small smile.

"Let's eat!" Aaron said a little louder than needed.

I laughed and then began to tell the waitress my order.

~~~~

"Thanks mom and dad, the food was delicious." I told my parents, my mom sitting next to me and my dad sitting opposite of Aaron, who was next to me.

"You're welcome, honey. We're gonna eat desert at home, if you don't mind." my mom told us.

"Yea, that's fine." I said.

While waiting for the waitress to come back with our check, I pulled out my phone to pass the time.

Then, I felt a pain shoot on my leg.

"Ow!" I exclaimed.

"What happened? Are you okay?" my dad asked excitedly.

"Yea, I'm fine." I said, my face scrunched.

"Aaron, what the heck! You just can't stop yourself from kicking your feet under the table. Even when we were small kids." I huffed.

"Aaron, apologize now." my mom scolded.

"Sorry munch, I didn't mean to kick you." he said, trying to hide a smile. But I could see a smirk coming through.

He may have kicked me by accident, but his apology might not have been as sincere.

By the time I was done shooting him a death glare, our check was paid for.

"Ready to go?" my dad asked.

I nodded and Aaron helped me get my crutches and head back to the car.

The car ride to our house was quiet, all of us on our phones, except for my dad, who was driving.

We finally reached home, which made me happy.

I finally got to be in the comfort of my own home instead of being stuck in a hospital bed the entire day.

It was Friday, so I could rest for a little while before having to go to school on Monday.

I got out of the car and crutched myself slowly up the driveway to the front door.

My dad unlocked it and pushed it open for me to walk in.

My two best friends and some of my cousins were in the living room, under a sign that said: Welcome Home Lindsey!

"Aw, thanks guys." I said.

"Sorry hon, but Leia and Karra insisted on having at least something small to welcome you back home." my mom said.

I saw Karra sitting right next to Chris on the couch, and Leia was holding Jordan's hand on the couch opposite.

All four of them got up and walked towards me.

"I'm so happy you're out of the hospital!" Karra exclaimed.

"Yea, it sucked not having you at school with us." Leia added.

"Thanks guys. I don't like hospitals that much anyways." I said with a small chuckle.

"Sorry, we tried to get him to come." Chris interrupted my thoughts.

"Hmm? Sorry, I kind of dozed off." I apologized.

"You're looking for him." Leia stated.

"It's okay guys, I'm okay if he doesn't come. It's his choice."

They nodded.

"Okay, well we're gonna go get some desert." Jordan said.

"Okay, I'll go get some in a little bit." I said.

"Lindsey, come say hi to your aunt and uncle." my mom told me.

"Okay," I said, going to them.

We talked for a few minutes until the doorbell rang.

"I'll go get it. Sorry, it was nice talking to you." I told my aunt and uncle as I made my way slowly but surely to the door.

Not even looking up to see who it was, I started talking.

"You should've came a little earlier, I bet the ice cream's all gone..." I looked up.

And I froze.

"Hi Lindsey."

Jake.

A/N:
