"Sir." The nurse says patting Steve on the shoulder. "You have someone waiting on a call for you." She says with a hushed voice trying not to disturb the sleeping man.
"When is he supposed to wake up?" Steve says rubbing his eyes.
"He seems to just be sleeping so I'd say a day or two." She says crinkling her nose "okay um where's the phone?" Steve asks getting up.
- "yes Henderson I won't leave his side. Don't feel bad I'm sure he'd want you to keep care of yourself. Yeah....take care. "Yeah yeah you too. And make sure you eat something and tell the others the same thing."
Steve hangs the phone up making eye contact with the nurse giving an awkward smile. "Do you happen to know when max Mayfield is allowed visitors.
He asks leaning over the counter to look down at the nurse. The nurse looked up at him with an annoyed look.
"Maxine Mayfield? She's allowed visitors tomorrow, nobody under the age of thirteen." Steve pats his hands on the desk putting his lips into a fine line.
"Thank you." Steve walks back to the room where Eddie was being treated. Steve took a good look at the man on the bed. "You did good." His chest felt heavy as he scratched the back of his neck.
Steve sat back on his chair leaning his head back falling asleep once again.
.•°°•.
A steddie beep slowly woke Steve up his hands flying to his face to rub at his eyes. Blinking to make his eyes focus.
Steve looked over at the monitor Eddie's heart rate was a steady beat. Without thinking Steve put his hand on Eddie's cold one.
Steve was freaked out by how cold Eddies hand was. He walked to the end of the bed lifting the blanket feeling his foot.
Walking out into the hall once again. "Excuse me, can I get another blanket?" He asked one eye closed to help him see better in the newly found light.
"Of course I'll have that for you in a moment." She says with a soft smile.
"Thank you." Steve says with a short smile, walking back to the dark room.
"I thought I said no," Steve heard as he walked back into the room.
"I thought you being here would be enough proof that I don't care."
"And yet I made it to a hospital moments before death." Eddie says his voice straind from the bruise around his neck.
"Save your voice Dustins going to be here as soon as he finds out you woke up." "That little shit head doesn't deserve to hear my voice."
"That little shit head is the only reason you are still alive. He could have left you there. And all you want to do is be ungrateful?"
"I asked him to leave me there!" He raised his voice a bit making it crack.
"Don't be an ass Munson." Steve says with a hard glare. Eddie stays silent looking out the window at all the damage that happend.
There was a small knock on the hospital door, "here's that blanket." The nurse says giving Steve the blanket with a tight smile.
Watching as Steve put it over Eddie. "I don't want it." "Again I don't care. Your freezing to the touch." Steve says tucking the blanket in around Eddie's frame.
"Glad to see you are awake. You doctors will be in shortly to look you over." She says leaveing shortly after.
