I'll Stay

Chapter 6: I care

"But I'm comfortable right now!" I whined.

"You're gonna regret it when you can't get up later." Kim wiggled out of my grip and ran downstairs.

I guess she's getting the first aid kit.

I tried to get up to lie on my bed but almost screamed at the searing pain that shot up my side.

I guess the flux did quite a number on me.

I bit my lip as I slowly crawled over to my bed, wincing everytime I accidentally bushed against the gash on my side.

My ribs are killing me! Literally!

I flopped onto the bed and tried not to pass out from the pain, as I waited for Kim.

"Hey, sorry I took so long, I had to get some bandages and herbs from my witchery hut. Oh my gosh, Duncan!" she quickly rushed over to me, well as quick as she could while holding a first aid kit, jars of herbs and a basin of water with a small towell.

It was quite amusing watching her struggle to get to me.

I'm such a sadist.

"Your injury is worse than I thought..." Kim started examining my injuries, being the care bear she definitely is. Sarcasm intended.

She started taking my lab coat and purple t-shirt off, they were covered in dried blood, and wiped around my gash, making sure not to wipe it too roughly. She dipped the towel into a jar of clear liquid.

"This is gonna hurt Duncan." She wiped my gash and I almost screamed out in pain, my eyes filling with tears.

"I'm sorry, wait are you crying Duncan?" she looked like she was about to burst out laughing.

"N-no I've just been, ah, cutting onions."

"Sure, sure."

It took about an hour to fully bandage me up and disinfect my cuts. I had 5 broken ribs and my arm was pretty messed up.

"Maybe I should rest for a few days..." I lay face down on the bed as Kim rubbed an ice pack on the big bruise on my back.

"How ironic! I remember when you used to say that sleep was for the weak. You never used to sleep remember? You used to stay up all night working on your projects, and making me worry about you..." Kim stopped suddenly as if she said something wrong.

Kim worried about me?

"Aw, you actually care about me!" I grinned back at her and saw that her whole face was the same colour as her qipao.

"S-shut up, Duncan!"

Is it possible that she has feelings for me as I have feelings for her?

I will be back Duncan and I'll be even more devastating, when I do. When I do, be prepared for your heart to be crushed. When I do...
