*Thud, something falls, I wake up abruptly and see a blanket on me and get up to see Noah, not in bed. "Noah, Noah???", I frantically search for him all over the house and find him in the kitchen, glass lying on the floor and him steading himself avoiding glass pieces. "Noah, what the hell??? What are doing here?" I say angrily. "I I I wanted water and you were asleep, I didn't want to disturb you" Noah replies, stumbles and his knees quiver, I rush towards him forgetting the glass on the floor, "Fuck!", Noah falls on me and  I wrap my hands around, steading him "Noah, Noah, Noah, are you ok?, Fuck, NOAH". *Mmph *coughs *groans. I carefully take Noah to his bedroom avoiding glass and after I place the quilt on him I say, "What the fuck were you thinking, Noah?, I'm right here if you need anything, please don't do that again, I am here beside you, just call my name," "I'm sorry Ellie, *coughs, *wheezes *groans,", I help him sit up and I sit next to him rubbing his back gently, "Ellie?" "Hmm" "Please don't go anywhere, I need you, I need you more than anything I've ever needed" this not about me taking care of him, it's more than that, it's about me moving away, leaving them behind. They all said how it was my decision and they would always support me no matter what I do, but deep down they wanted me to stay, he wanted me to stay, "I'm right here Noah, beside you always" and I hold his hand, he rests his head in my shoulder. It's not strange, we both know we have feelings for each other, and it's certainly not new. I scoot over and make Noah comfortable. Something pricks my feet and I wince, I realise I forgot I stepped on glass, I place Noah's head on the pillow and rush towards the washroom I fill the bathtub and sit at on corner soaking my feet in the water and turning it red, I lift my feet up and thankfully have only glass piece slightly dangling from my feet, I take a deep breath and clench my jaw and pull the piece out. I apply some disinfectant and And wrap my feet with a bandage after ensuring that no more glass pieces are in my feet. I have a painkiller, just in case and head over to Noah. I place my hand on his forehead and sigh because he still has a high fever. "Ellie?" hmm" Ellie, I feel dizzy" I hold his hand and sit on the floor caressing his forehead. After a while, I get up and go make soup for him. I come back to find him sitting upright his head in his hands. "Hey, I got you noodle soup," I ask him to scoot and sit next to him." I don't feel like eating anything, ugh, my head is killing me"."You have to eat something, don't be a baby, come on have a bite". I feel the blood pooling in the bandage and get up and place the bowl on Noah's lap. "Where are you going?" He asks weekly, "I gotta pee" I lie.
"Fuck! God! No! Ahhh!" I inspect the wound again and it's not big, I clean it apply antiseptic powder to stop the bleeding and wrap it up again.
