It's been 2 months. 2 months and I still can't walk, still can't feel my left leg and if I'm being honest I wasn't losing hope one bit, because I knew that I was healing, I was slowly able to start moving my toes just a tiny bit. Not completely but it was progress which I was very happy about. I still hadn't told Archer and I wasn't planning to anytime soon. I was actually currently on a call with him right now.

"So what have you been up to? How's uni been with you" Archer asks as I listened to him, I really miss him, I just want to see him in person, but once again it's only October. I had wait all the way till December, and that's only if I can walk by December...

"It's okay, honestly I can't wait to graduate and get this shit over with." I grumble and placed my phone on the table looking thing that was attached to my hospital bed, they ended up moving me to a bigger room around a week after I woke up.

"Where are you? It doesn't look like a dorm room" Archer says and squints his eyes and brings his phone closer to his face to see more clearly.

"Oh, I'm in my dorm room right now" I shake my head. I really don't like lying, I swear. But I didn't want to tell him I basically couldn't move or walk.

"Once again, you suck at lying but I won't push" Archer laughs and starts to spin on the office chair in the office. He was currently in New York, he was doing his classes online. He even has his own first penthouse in New York so every time he comes there for work he stays there, and meets his father at his house sometimes too. To say the least his dad was a happy and proud man.

Even though Archer was a whole 21 year old he still acted like a kid, which I loved about him. He was basically a 3 year old stuck in a 21 year old mans body. It was rather very fascinating.

I laugh and shake my head in amusement from his childishness. He then rest his phone on something behind him.

I could see the big floor to ceiling window that covered one whole part of the office if faced the beautiful view of New York.

"You know, I won't stop asking. Have you decided on whether you want to work here after uni? Xena pleaseeee say yes" Archer says and pouts.

I laugh and stared at him before I told him what I had decided since last week. I did lots of thinking and I decided that it wouldn't be that bad.

"Yeah, I decided and I don't mind working there once dad retires" I shrug my shoulders.

"Hell yes! Now that gives me motivation to work even harder" he gives me a small smug smile and wiggles his eyebrows.

"You're honestly a whole joke" a laugh bubbling from my mouth while I roll my eyes.

"But you love me" Archer says and I laugh, he wasn't wrong though, I do really love him and my love for him just keeps growing more and more even after 4 whole years of being together.

"How are your classes going?" I ask typing on my laptop that was ontop of the table thing.

"It honestly fucking sucks, I hate it. It's shit. It can suck on my dick. I hate it. I despise it. Honestly hope the building burns down" Archer sighs a he continues to spin on his chair staring at he ceiling, he then flips off his laptop.

"Okay, so you really really really really really hate it. But the whole building and fire thing was a bit too much. But I get you. Just one more year. You got this" I laugh

"By the way. Aren't you supposed to be at your classes right now?" Archer asks me and looks at me.

"Yeah, but I'm doing them online" I shrug.

Archer frowns and look at me with his pretty, pale green eyes. Almost like staring at me would give him answers to his unspoken thoughts and questions.

"Okay now I'm a bit worried. Are you okay? Why are you doing them online? Are you sick?" Archer ask dragging his chair closer to his phone.

My gaze shifts to my feet and I wiggle my toes a bit, my legs now moving a bit more. I raise my eyebrow since I was shocked and a small smile grows on my face. Maybe I won't have to hide this from Archer for long.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just was a bit sick" I shrug.

"You really need to stop lying bubba, you know I don't like it when you lie" Archer rolls his eyes and stares at the phone with a serious look. He do be looking hot in a suit though.

"Uh—I don't know if you'll even want to be with me after I say this" I say and fidget with my fingers once again.

"Why wouldn't I want to be with you, nothing would ever stop me from being with you" Archer says

"Umm" I say and he just stares at the phone waiting for me to say something.

"Xena" Archer states giving me a pointed look.

"Okay okay. Umm, around 2 months ago it was Adalyn's birthday and we were heading to the coffee shop across our uni and we decided to cross the road when the pedestrian signal was still red and I ended up getting hit by a car and—um—the doctor said that I'm temporarily paralysed on my left leg and I haven't basically walked since last to last month. And I'm doing my classes online and the doctor said that it would take around 6 months max for me to be able to heal and walk again. I didn't want to tell you cause I thought that you wouldn't want to be with me cause I can't walk anymore and—" I was cut of by Archer.

"Wow wow wow. Hold on. What. The. Actual. Fuck?. Baby, why didn't you tell me? I would never leave you just because you can't walk for a few months. Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Archer sighs and rests his elbows on the office desk before he rests his head on his hands, he then runs his hand through his nice curls.

"Are you mad at me?"

"What? No of course I'm not mad at you Xena" Archer says and looks at me for around 1 minute.

"I'm coming there." He stares simply whole still holding full eye contact.

"What? No, you don't need to. You're already stressed from work and your classes" I shake my head.

"You're not changing my mind" Archer shakes his head.

"But—" and once again, I was cut off by Archer.

"No buts, you're not changing my mind. Plus I haven't seen you in a long time, I want a hug" Archer smiles

I smile back before we continue to talk, after around 20 minutes we end the call since we had to finish with our own classes. Before he ended the call he tells me he'll come to Cali by next week Monday. It was currently Friday.

He really doesn't have to come all the way from New York to Cali. But at the same time I wanted a see him too, I haven't seen him in real life in a long time.

Days were flying by so fast before I knew it, it was Monday and I was on my phone when I heard a knock on hospital door. I let whoever is outside in and Archer walks in with all his hotness.

"Archer!" I smile and open my arms for a hug and he smiles and hugs me as tight and possible, I really missed his hugs, we stayed like this for around 2 minutes before we pulled away.

"How did you know which hospital" I ask him

"I asked your dad for all the info" Archer shrugs before he drags a chair closer to my bed.

"How are you feeling?" He asks.

"I'm fine, I can move my leg a bit. If I try really hard" I say and I wiggle my toes, I could move those easily. My leg was the main problem now.

"You're strong, you'll heal really fast. I just know it." Archer says and kisses the back of my hand.

I smile and we caught up and talked about everything. The man just got hotter and hotter.

I was lying in hospital bed, it was currently a Saturday and Adalyn was sitting of the mini sofa in the room, her face buried in a book.

I was of course as usual trying to move my leg, I was moving my leg and I tired lifting my leg and it moved just less than half an inch of the bed. My leg felt like pins and needles. I tried once again, trying to shake my whole leg this time and it moved just a bit.

I started squealing and Adalyn looked up quickly and saw me move my leg a bit.

"You're moving it! Try again!" Adalyn says excitedly.

I tried once again and it moved again. Adalyn went to call the doctors and a few minutes later they walk in the room.

"Sweetie, can you try lift it up once again?" The doctor asks me, a polite smile on her face.

I did what the doctor said before they did some stuff and then asked me if I could bend it. I was able to slowly drag my leg up till it was bent.

"Do you want to try and stand up? We'll be right here for help" She continues. I nod my head before I tried to get up, my feet touched the cold tiled floor. The doctor and the nurse on both my sides.

I stood up most of my weight was on the good leg but I tired evening it out but my left leg kept shaking and giving up but the doctor and nurse were there to hold me up.

I moved my left leg a bit and tried standing one more time, it was still a bit wobbly but I could stand. They held my arm and asked my to take a step and I did, my leg was still wobbly but I was able to take my first step in around 4 months. I was able to stand after 4 months of sitting on my ass.

I tried to take another step and I was able to. The doctor and nurse removed their hands that was holding my arms. And I was able to stand down my own, it felt a bit weird standing on it but I was happy I was able to.

I took a step, almost losing my balance but I was able to take my first step by my own. I was smiling the most biggest smile.

I informed all my friends and my dad about me being able to walk for the fist time in 4 months.

Now I need to get used to walking since it felt a bit weird and my left leg still felt a bit more weak and wobbly. But to say the least I was extremely happy. I was a bit sad that I might have forgotten how to surf when my mom taught me but I could always learn that too. I was just glad that I could walk.
