You And Me | Liam O'dononvan

34- The Hospital

I wake up the next morning in my normal room and hear everyone downstairs. I sigh contently, I'm home. I'm finally home.

I get up, my ribs hurting as I do so and I lazily walk downstairs, into the kitchen. "Roxy!" Multiple people cheer as I walk in.

"Guys its too early for that." I grumble, trying to reach the top shelf of the cupboard to get the pain killers. 

"Its lunch time." Elektra states.

"Oh, um, okay." I nod nervously. God, why am I so short! "Um, where's the foot stool?"

"Where it always is." Carmen says, putting the cups on the table. 

"Right." I nod and start looking around. Where is it? I can't remember where it normally goes. What's happened to me?!

I bend down slightly and instantly wince in pain, gripping my ribs and biting my lip to stop my whimpers. 

"Roxy? Are you okay?" Johnny asks from the other side of the counter.

I wave him off, "Yeah, yeah I'm... fine."

"Alright, I'm starv- Rox? What's wrong?" I hear Liam walk in and feel his presence behind me.

"I was trying to get the pain killers but I couldn't reach it and then I couldn't remember where the foot stool goes and my ribs hurt a lot and I feel so stupid." I cry into Liam's chest.

"Its okay, baby. You're not stupid, come on. Look, I'll pick you up and you can just get the tablets, okay?" He asks in a soft tone.

"Okay." I mumble and wipe my eyes. 

We move over to the side and Liam picks me up by my waist, I grab the pain killers of the top shelf and Liam lowers me down. "Ow, ow, ow!" I cry out when his hand brushes against my ribs.

"Rox?" 

"I'm fine, I'm fine, I just need to take a couple of these." I tell him leaning against the side on my elbows, gripping my ribs. "Can you pop two out and get a glass of water please?"

"I don't know, Love..." Liam trails off, concern lacing his words.

"You don't know if you can give me water and tablets?" I raise an eyebrow at him.

"No, I don't know if you're really fine." He says rubbing my back. 

"I am, I know I am. I'm just sore." I lower my head to rest on my folded arms. 

"No, no." He says. "Someone get Mike."

I faintly see blue hair walk out of the room in the corner of my eye. "Elektra don't."

I stand up straight and I lean back into Liam, "See? I'm fine."

"No, you're not." He says sternly.

"I think I would know if I was fine or not." I laugh dryly.

"Roxy, are you alright?" I hear Mike ask worried.

"Ye-"

Liam cuts me off, "No, she's not. Her ribs are really bad."

Mike sighs, "Roxy, why didn't you say anything? Come on, I'll take youse to the hospital now."

"No, no hospital. I'm fine." I shake my head.

"Then you can be fine in a hospital room, can't you?" I can practically hear Liam's smirk.

"I'm not gonna get out of this, am I?" I ask and they both shale their heads. "Fine."

I'm laying in a hospital bed, with Liam on the chair next to me and Mike on the chair next to the door, after I finished getting changed back into my clothes. "I hate hospital gowns."
