He was working on his rehabilitation, but his muscles still tired out easily and his legs were a bit weak from being so much in bed and Amelia walked next to him so he could hold onto her if he lost his balance.
"It is perfectly fine Josh, you are really doing good". She held her arm out for support while he sat down in the chair.
He sighed. "Thank you, I just get tired so f
"Hi sweetie, don't you want any food ?" She walked into Connor’s room, finding him on the bed with his back turned, laying exactly like he had when she left an hour ago. She could hear from the way he was breathing that he wasn't sleeping and after a few moments he shook his head. "I'm not hungry". "You need to eat something Connor. You need the energy, so you can do your exercises and get better". She sat down on the edge of the bed. His whole body kind of retracted from her and it hurt in her heart and stomach. "It doesn't matter, I am never getting any better".
Amelia breathed in deeply, trying to get a hold on herself, it was the second time today she found herself crying in Josh’s arms, he needed her support and help and not to have to comfort her all the time. But there was just something so nice and safe about laying there in Josh’s arms, it kind of felt like he was able to hold her just a bit together, keeping her from falling entirely apart. "What happened, Ami ? Something must have happened for you to come back here in tears". Josh’s hands were gently running up and down her back. She snuggled closer to him, breathing in his scent, it was comforting somehow. "He w
Amelia thought it felt like forever, and she had been dozing off in Josh’s bed as she waited. "Ami are you awake ?" She woke when Josh got up on the bed next to her, and instinctively she snuggled into him, feeling his arms around her, which made the nurse glare at them approvingly before leaving. She didn't care and she wasn't quite sure if the nurses thought they were doing something wrong or they just wanted to take her place, probably both. "What did he say Josh ? Was he happy to see you ?" She looked up at him, hoping Josh had shown a kind of positive reaction.
Amelia was watching Connor through the door. It was ajar, he was sitting up in bed, the bed raised to support him, he was gazing into nothingness, his right eye squints a bit outwards.She sighed, she just wants to snuggle up to him, kiss him, hear his soft laughter, see that special smile that always brightened her entire day, but he was never smiling or laughing these days and he wouldn't let her touch him.The doctor had promised to come talk to him, he had been expecting that there was something wrong and what she told him just confirmed that, he was almost sure it was a serious depression.She had thought that it had to be fixable, bu
Josh was resting on his bed, staring up into the ceiling, he had a giant knot in his stomach, he had never in his life been this confused and torn apart.He had been very surprised when Connor out of the blue told him it would be okay for him to go after Amelia.Was it just random lashing out, because Josh was the one who was there, because Connor knew he would protect her or did he know something ? Had he seen through him ?Josh thought he had been very discreet, he knew it was wrong of him to be harbouring feelings for her and normally he would never even consider acting on them, he couldn't do that t
Amelia was right, Conner refused both medication and therapy, he didn't think it necessary, and said that there was nothing wrong with his head. An Alpha did not need things like that.The doctor had no doubt at all that he had a very severe depression and he had made a note for everyone to be watching him closely, he was in high risk of suicidal behaviour.It had been a week and Josh was still progressing fast, he could walk short distances on his own, if he walked slow, and he was burning to start running again, but the doctors wouldn't let him.
Amelia didn't know what had gotten into her, she shouldn't be kissing Josh, but the way he had looked at her had simply knocked her off her feet and she had reacted on pure instinct.Josh froze up and she could feel his heart beat so hard she got afraid if it could be dangerous for him.She was about to pull away, to excuse her behaviour, she had clearly read him all wrong, which was a good thing, because this was so wrong.But then it was li
Connor lay on his bed, staring at the ceiling. He didn't know what to do. He felt his life was over and done. He had nothing left to live for and he actually just wanted to be free. He sighed, Amelia would have a much better life without him. She deserved so much better. She deserved someone like Josh. But he couldn't even do anything about it, he was so pathetic that he probably couldn't even manage to take his own life, how would he do it when he couldn't walk. Also even if his wolf was a total no show, even with the bracelet removed, he wasn’t su
