Tk x Carlos

Story 3: insomnia

Tk POV

I sit up in bed after laying there for hours unable to fall asleep. This is the second night I haven't been able to fall asleep for some reason. Carlos is always telling me to wake him up if i need anything but i don't think he can give me sleep. I carefully climb out of bed without waking him up and head into the kitchen to grab a snack.

I grab a bag of chips and sit down on the sofa with my laptop, i open it and went to google to find ways to help me sleep. Most of the articles are telling me to go see a doctor or to take a hot bath. The other articles are telling me I can't sleep because I'm stressed or worried, but my job is stressful it's not like i can just leave. I hear Carlos move around on the bed when he lifts his head and sees I'm not there he looks around.

"Hey babe, go back to sleep." I tell him
"Why are you awake?" He asks in his sleepy voice
"I was hungry." I say, which isn't a total lie.
"Have you been to sleep?" He asks
"No" i say
"What's going on? You didn't sleep last night either." He says as he sits up
"I don't know. Google says I'm stressed and worried that's why I can't sleep." I tell him
"Well that's google. You need to go to your actual doctor Tk. And soon you can't go to work without any sleep for the past two days." He tells me
"I know." I say "I'll go to my doctor. I promise."
He lays back down and falls back asleep as i lay there staring at the ceiling.

Carlos POV

When i get home from my shift i don't see Tk when i opened the door.
"Tk? I'm home" i call out. Something is wrong I can feel it. I checked our bedroom and it was empty i heard the shower running.
"Tk?" I say knocking on the door. There was no response.
"I'm coming in Tk." I say

When i open the door i see the shower running and Tk is laying on the floor and there's blood flowing down the drain.
"Tk!" I yell. I turn off the water and carefully check to see where the blood is coming from. It looks like he hit his head on the shelving. I get a rag and put pressure on it while i call 911. They made me check his pulse and everything.

When the paramedics arrived they carefully took Tk out of the tub and wrapped up his head.
"Babe?" Tk said softly
"I'm right here." I tell him holding his hand
The paramedics drove him to the hospital, i rode in the back with him.

Tk POV

At the hospital they gave me a head CT to make sure i didn't have a concussion or a brain bleed. I just cut my head a little and had to get some stitches. The doctors said i passed out due to lack of sleep, go figure. They gave me some sleeping meds that wont mess with my sobriety and told me to follow up with my primary doctor.

Carlos made me stay in bed for the rest of the night and kept a very close eye on me, when it was time to go to bed and i took the sleeping pill for the first time Carlos checked my mouth to make sure i actually took it. He also scheduled my doctor's appointment for me. He's such a control freak but that's what I love about him, he's always taking care of the people around him.
