I wake up with a large weight on top of my chest, the sun is in my eyes look down to see Caleb hands tightly wrapped around my waist s small smile plays across his face, I let out a sigh and my head flops back on the pillow.
I try to pry his hand of my waist but he just holds on harder, he steres in his sleep and his eyes pop open, his smile grows when seeing me.
"Good morning" he says sheepishly.
"Morning" I respond "I need to get up now".
"Why" he asks.
"Because I need to get ready for work" I explain.
"But your hurt" he says worriedly.
"So, I still have to work" I tell him.
"I won't let you go" he says.
"Yes you will" I say removing his hand.
I hope out of bed and grab my crutches and start heading out the door, as soon as you get to the bathroom I lock the door and unwrap the bandage around my foot, my foot is a dark purple and swollen ten times the size it was yesterday, I cringe at the sight of it, I have a quick shower and wrap my foot back up then I realize I didn't bring my clothes with me, I freck out a little trying to figure out what to do, I wrap my towel around me tightly and take a deep breath, I walk out of the room calmly and go straight into the bedroom, Caleb's eyes widen when seeing me in just a towel, I feel my cheeks go a bright red.
"What" I ask.
"Nothing" he chuckles.
"Can you go out into the lounge room so I can get dressed" I ask.
"Why, I'm alright right here" he smirks.
"Out" I say forcefully.
"Fine, fine" he chuckles.
Caleb gets out of my bed and walks out of the room, I drop the towl and start to put underwear on when the door opens.
"Weres the bathr....." hes cut of by my scream.
"GET OUT" I scream at him.
The door quickly shuts and I hear a small chuckle on the other side, I get dressed quickly and put on light makeup, I open the door and see my art room is open, my heart skips a beat, I walk in there as quick as I can on crutches, Caleb is standing over my artworks flipping through them all.
"What do you think your doing" I asks.
"Just looking" he says still flipping through.
"Well can you get out" I say.
"These are good" he tells me "theres one of me".
He pulls out the one of him, and takes a long look at it, I quickly grab it from him and put it back with the others.
"Come on I have to go" I say walking out of the room.
"But I haven't had anything to eat" he says.
"You can eat later" I say.
"Fine, I still think you should stay here" he groans.
I walk out the door and head to work, I go to start walking but Caleb practicly drags me to his car, he drives me to the diner, I walk inside while Caleb parks the car, I see Hannah straight away, shes wiping down the counter, she smiles when she see's that soon changes to a frown.
"What happened" she asks quickly coming out to help me.
"Its nothing, I just fell over and rolled my ankle" I tell her.
"How did you fall over" she questions.
"My heel broke yesterday when I was walk home and I feel down the subway" I explain.
"Shit" is all she says.
"I'm fine, I can still work" I say.
"No your not working, I want you to go home and rest" she says.
"I'm ok" I say.
"As your boss and friend I telling you to go home" she orders.
"Fine" I sigh.
Caleb walks into the diner and stands behind me eyeing Hannah.
"And who are you" Hannah asks forcefully.
"A friend" is all he says.
"Thus is Caleb, he took me to the hospital and brought me home last night" I tell her.
"Ok" she says "now go rest"
I nod as she pushes me out the door, me and Caleb walk back to his car and hop back into it.
"Now what" I ask.
"You hungry" Caleb asks.
