Miserable at Best

Chapter 22: Same Pain

Author's Note:

I tried to have 2 updates in a row yesterday but I didn't make it., :(
Why? Because my anxiety attacked again and I was brought to the hospital... :( yeah I have anx! X[
it's bad.., :((
But anyway, hope you Enjoy! :3 and that guy is what I picture on Dylan! XD

          After a quite long moment of arguing with him, Dylan eventually found out about my burn and ended up carrying me to his room. He gently placed me on his bed then took out his first aid kit and now he's treating my burned skin.

"Whoah wait, what's that?!..." I asked nervously as he take out a bottle of what looks like an alcohol.

"Relax! It's just a disinfectant! We're just gonna clean this wound to prevent some infections..." He laughed back.

"Oh, o-okay... Just clean it gently, alright? You know I-, wa-wa-wa-wait!!! Wait! Dylan, wait!!!" I cried nervously and stopped his hand from touching my wound.

His eyes widened up at me and he let out a loud laugh. I am sitting on his bed with my pants taken off of me and he's occupying the floor. Of course at first I didn't agree to take it off but as the law of common sense I would have to do it. So now here I am sitting in front of him only in my underwear and this time, I don't care about it. Because what I care about is the pain that would shoot up in my nerves when he finally pour the disinfectant on my burn.

"Don't worry this won't hurt!..." He assured me and placed the bottle back atop my wound. "A lot..." He then continued smiling teasingly at me.

My eyes widened and tried to shove his hand away again. But then he told me he's just joking and that the disinfectant doesn't contain any chemical that will heat up my burn.

My body is trembling and I'm biting my lip so hard as I watch him slowly tilt the bottle to pour the disinfectant. Then I shut my eyes and grip on the bedsheets when the liquid drops on my burn and a stinging sensation spread throughout my thigh.

"Okay, just hold on for a while... This may hurt a bit.." He said seriously and rubs the burn with a clean cotton.

"Ahh.. D-Dylan..." I hissed through gritted teeth as he spread the solution on my wound.

The sheet starts to get contorted as I tighten my grip on it. The heat on my burn is getting worse and the pain is starting reach up to my head. My eyes are still shut and my lip is starting to ache under my teeth as it digs deeper on it. I do not know what Dylan is doing anymore for I still can't open my eyes and the only thing that I can feel now is pain. But I let out a sigh of relief when I heard him spoke and break me away from my thinking.

"Okay it's done!" He said and smiled at me.

I slowly open my eyes and they quickly landed on my stinging burn. I smiled softly when I saw that it doesn't swell anymore and the redness all over it was lessen. Then I shot my eyes up to him and smiled wider when I met his gaze.

"Oh, thank you..." I sighed smiling.

He just nodded and take the bandages out of the kit. He then looked up at me while taking an adequate length of the bandage to cover my wound.

"So now, we're gonna put some gauze on it. This again may hurt because that's still fresh, okay? So, ready yourself. And... You need to cover that with this until it completely heal. So we can make sure that it won't be infected and you won't gonna have further complications. Got it?" He smiled and started to roll the bandage around my limb.

I just nodded and bite my lip again while watching him roll the gauze. I frown and contort my face softly when the bandage hits the wound. But then I smiled at him brightly when he already finished covering my wound and secured the bandage with some medical pins.
