Teddy Bear Trials

Chapter 5

     I stretched out onto the purple blanket I fell asleep on after my date with Kade, and slowly started to stand up when I got a dizzy feeling. My head was pounding and my eyes felt heavy. My body was all weak and loopy. I sat back on the bed and took deep breaths, until Bryce came in my room and saw my discomfort and distress. He gasped then sprinted down the hall to my father's bedroom.

     I felt my body go limp and I hurdles towards the carpeted floor just before my dad managed to get out of bed. He came running over to me and picked me up saying, "Everything will be ok Pres." And, "I need you to be strong."

     All I remembered when I woke up in a very cramped hospital bed, was being taken to the car and loaded into it before speeding away before everything went black. My eyes fluttered open, gazing sleepily at the wires and tubes and machines I was hooked up to. I rubbed my pupils, and tried to sit up but failed, because my head hit the feather pillow with a tiny thud.

     A skinny, tan nurse strode into the room with a clipboard and checked my blood pressure and cholesterol and any thing like that before leaving the room and getting another nurse in there.

     "Hi, Presley," She said looking at her clipboard, " I'm Jessabelle, I'll be your nurse for the day and I'm just going to do a few tests and check the IVs and things like that to make sure your ok."

     "Are you feeling ok? Are you comfortable, to hot, to cold?"

     "No I'm good. Thank you though." I almost whispered.

     "Ok well that's good sweety." She gave me a warm smile and went on with her business, checking everything in the room.

      Kades  POV:

     I run up to the building and slammed into the doors trying to open them, but only busting my lip a little instead. I checked in with the secretary and treaded up the slick stairs searching for 307. When I finally found it I knocked softly for entry, hearing a mumbled, "Come in."

     "Hey Pres. You doing ok?"

     "Your here. I didn't know you were coming. And yes, I'm ok. Just tired is all and hungry but they won't let me eat yet." Her face brightened once she saw me, but she did look very tired and weak.

     I walked over to the bed and sat by her being careful not to sit on her arm and side. I took my fingers and brushed a stray hair out of her face. She looked up to me and took my hand and just stared at me with her beautiful blue eyes.

     We both just sat there for a few minutes until Anna came rushing into the small off white room.

     "Move it boy this is my time now!" She shoved me off the bed and engulfed Presley in her long arms.

     "Oh my god Anna thank you so much for coming. I've missed you so much and I've been so ugh everyday without you." She started to let tears flow down her face and her cheeks became red and puffy. She pulled Anna into a long hug and they sat there like that for a while.

     Not long after Anna barged in on my time seeing her, two more of her friends entered the room. I didn't recognize them though.

     "Hey guys." She looked up at them with a small smile and wiped her face with the bed sheets bunched up next to her.

     "How you doing Pres?" Said the girl with dark brown curly hair. She went over to the opposite side of the bed and got on her knees.

     Will I ever get to be alone with her with them here?
