"you are healing so quickly Mr. Romano" the assistant nurse said, lifting his shirt

examining his stab wound

"it's like your body is used to abrasions" she smiled

i think that was supposed to be a compliment

but cain didn't like the comment

it was all over his face

"i see your not a talker" she awkwardly laughed, changing his iv bag

i felt bad for the lady

i tried to tell cain through eye contact to respond to her

but he looked at me like i was crazy

must be a girl thing

"alright, i'll get you a hospital release date soon" she smiled and left the room

"why didn't you respond to her?" i said

"that's what you were trying to get across? I thought you couldn't breathe" he said

the room immediately filled with laughter
••

i was grabbing food from the cafeteria when i saw cain's nonno

he was eating

"malu bianchi" i whispered, analyzing his wheelchair

he is the one who helped us find out more about cain's parents

and he is also a dementia patient

i set my tray down and walked over to him

"excuse me, i don't mean to in-"

"i don't give autographs anymore" he said, slowly raising his hand to block me from speaking to him

so big egos run in the bianchi family

i pursed my lips

"actually, i'm the one who visited you a couple months ago"

he looked up at me, slowly

"white dress, white coat, whit-"

"you called that a dress? My wife would go to the beach in more clothing" he scoffed, chewing his food

oh him and my nonna would get along great

i took a deep breath

"can you please visit room 438?" i asked, politely

it's cain's hospital room

"i don't take fan requests anymore" he said, food flying out of his mouth as he spoke

that's just hygienic

"sir i-"

"go away, you're ruining my meal" and he swatted me away

the hell?

and i walked away, sighing

damn damn damn

i grabbed my food tray, and walked to cain's room
••

"mia" cain said, holding me in the tight space of the bed

"hm?" i replied, looking up at him

"i love you so fucking much but-"

i sat up

"no, we aren't breaking up" i said, replying to his unfinished sentence

he placed a finger on my lip, shutting me up

"i was going to say, go home and do personal hygiene" he said gently

"oh" i awkwardly laughed

"i smell?" i said, stuffing my nose in my shirt

considering you were kidnapped for 5 days and in the hospital with me for a night, yeah" he said, trying his best not to offend me

"alright, i'll be back" i said, getting off his bed

then he caught my wrist

"come tomorrow morning, that couch doesn't look to comfortable." he said

i hesitated

"i'll be fine" he reassured me

he really leaves me no choice

i reached in my bag, handing him a pistol

and he grabbed it, chuckling

"see you tomorrow" he smiled, his dimples appearing

"bye" i said

and left the hospital

•••

it felt good to finally shower again

washing all the dried blood, and soothing my tense muscles

that's probably why i was being looked at weirdly

i stepped out of the shower, with a towel wrapped around my body

i looked at the wet hair that draped over my shoulders and back

"i want to cut it" i whispered, and called elena

•••

i've been waiting for elena to show up for 15 minutes

and i've been making use of my time

by texting cain

how else would i do so

then my door flung open

"bitch, you have 5 seconds to explain what's been going on in the past few days" she said, placing her bag of hair tools on the dresser

and standing behind the chair i was sitting in

"but before you start, are you sure you want me to cut it?" elena said, running her fingers through strands of my hair

"yes"
