Well, I was conscious again. Where am I anyways? All I remember is Nik holding me and running. Wait, where is Nik?
I bolted upright, wincing as a sharp pain appeared in my head.
"Hey, hey. Lay back down, its okay." Thank god, that was Nik's voice.
"Where am I Nik?"
"We had to take you to Al's because we couldn't get into your house. Are... Are you okay?"
"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine." I heard him sigh in relief. "Oh thank goodness. I was so worried!"
Awwww, he was worried about me. That's so sweet. "So where's Al?"
He looked really uneasy. Was he trying to keep something from me?
"Ummm... He went to get you some uh, comfort food. To like uh, calm your nerves." That was the worst lie I have ever heard.
"Dria? Beth? Ginny?"
"Um, Dria went to her house for a second. Beth and Ginny are here though." Well at least I have them with me.
I shivered from the cold, then I realized what I had on. Pajama shorts and a plaid flannel shirt over my original undershirt. "Ginny snuck a pair of Al's shorts and put you in my flannel. Are you cold?"
"Just a little." I stated as I nodded slightly. He swiftly pulled a blanket over my seemingly frail form. And then I heard the door open and close.
Then I heard Al yell out. "Stephanie you better love me!"
Then Al walked into his room with a pizza and a McDonalds sweet tea. I guess Nik didn't lie.
"I thought you were lying to me Nik!"
"Nope! I just wasn't supposed to tell you... Surprise!"
"Nik, how could you tell her!" Nik responded to Al's yell with putting his hands up in surrender.
"Anyways, I got you a bacon cheeseburger pizza, no onion from Hometown Pizza. Plus a large sweet tea."
"I can see that. Thanks so much for my 'comfort food' Al."
I didn't realize how hungry I was, but once I took that first bite, I started in hailing that pizza.
God, it was so good! In a matter of 20 minutes, the pizza and my sweet tea were gone. "Calm down, there crazy!"
Oh, it was Nik, whatever.
"Well, I'm going to take a little cat nap. Night guys!"
