Rose yawned and sat up in bed. At first she was confused on why she had woken up, but then she heard her phone ring. She picked it up and looked at it. It was a FaceTime from Mark. She immediately answered it.

"Hey! What's up?" She asked as Mark's face popped up on screen.

He looked tired and it looked as though he was still in the hospital.

"Hey, Rosie! Not much. Ethan's doing a lot better. They're saying he'll be able to leave later today!"

"Holy crap, that's awesome!"

Mark nodded. "Is Amy up yet?"

"I'm not sure. I just got up myself." Rose said with a small laugh.

Mark smiled. "You seem to be doing a lot better. Way happier."

Rose shrugged and smiled. "Yeah. Amy, Signe, and Sean really helped me out last night."

"That's good. I gotta go, but I'll see you in a few hours with Ethan." Mark told her.

Rose smiled. "Bye Markimoo!"

Mark scoffed at the nickname and hung up.

Rose laughed and got up to make breakfast. The door to Mark and Amy's room was still closed so Amy was most likely still sleeping. Rose poured herself a bowl of cereal and sat down at the counter, going through Twitter. After scrolling through for a while, she came across one of Mark's posts.

'Ethan had an Allergic reaction last night. don't worry, though. He's doing a hell of a lot better. Doctors are saying he'll be able to go home sometime this afternoon :D'

Rose smiled and scrolled through some of the replies. The first one that came up was Ethan's.

It was a picture of him pretending to be dead and Mark standing next to him with a psychotic grin on his face.

'Maybe not...' was the caption.

Rose laughed and liked it.

All of the comments were extremely nice. That was one of the main reasons Rose loved the community. If something serious happened, they were super supportive.

The day went on. Mark texted her saying they'd be home around noon. Every second seemed like an hour. Rose and Amy were in the living room when they heard the door open. Mark and Ethan walked into view and Rose smiled.

"Ethan!" she cried, as she ran up to her boyfriend and engulfed him in a bear hug. Ethan hugged back, nuzzling his face in Rose's shoulder. They pulled away. Rose's smile faded as she saw that he had a breathing tube. It traveled from his nose and over his ears, and went into the backpack he was carrying, which was where Rose assumed his oxygen tank was.

"Don't worry, Ro. It's not bad." Ethan said, reading Rose's expression.

"Why do you have it though?" She asked.

"My throat is still swollen and it's not exactly healing right, so it's helping me to breathe." He explained. "I only need it for about a month."

Rose's smile returned. "As long as you're okay..." She whispered.
