A M E L I A

          I woke up, aching all over. "Uhhhhh" I groaned, tossing and turning in the soft green covers. I buried my face into my purple and red pillows as pain shot through me in all directions.  My abdomen was the worst, an explosive stinging sensation emitting from it. I looked over to the clock to see that it was a little before 11:00. Then, I slowly got up, rubbing my eyes. I just stand for a moment, not wanting to walk knowing the pain it would cause. I look around, trying to find a way to get dressed without moving to much. Then, I see my clothes on the ground just a few feet away. I also spot a long wooden dowel I was going to use to make something leaning on my old wooden beside table. An idea bursted in my mind. "Ah ha!" I say, gingerly grabbing the dowel. Then, I carefully held onto the end, the opposite one being directed into the pile of clothing. After a few tries, I successfully guided it back to me, my clothes hanging from it.

          "Yes!" I exclaimed as i grabbed the clothing off of the dowel. Then, I changed into my normal outfit, fixing my headpiece in the large mirror leaning against the turquoise wall. I sighed when I was satisfied with my appearance.Soon after, a new thought crossed my mind. How am I going to get to the guild? It's obvious that I won't make it walking. I gingerly sat on my bed, thinking. Then it came to me.

         'Hey Natsu?' I asked telepathically. I patiently waited for an answer, fiddling with the end of my floor length vest. 'Sup Ames! How are you feeling?' He finally replied. 'Im ok, just sore. It feels like a train ran over me' I say, falling backwards onto the plush pillows. 'Aw sorry. Anything I can do?' He asked. 'Yes actually. Can you please come and give me a piggy back ride to the guild? I don't think I can make it there walking.' I say, slightly chuckling at the end. He laughed as well. 'Sure Ames. I'll be there soon.' He said. I sighed.

           While I waited for him to arrive, I decided to take off my less needed bandages. I start with my legs, gently lifting them up to unwrap them. Then, I moved to my upper arms. And after that, my neck. I left the ones on my abdomen (for obvious reasons) and lower arms alone because they were still pretty bad. I'll have to get bandages replaced at the guild because these were spotted with blood and dirt. A bit after I was done, fire brain flew in from the window.

          "Sup Ames!" He greeted me with a cheeky grin. I smiled back. "Hey Natsu" I replied. "Glad to see you're up" he said, sitting next to me. "I'd rather not be. I just want to sleep. But I can't. Ugh." I say, dramatically falling onto his shoulder. He giggled. It was getting close to my birthday, and always around this time, my nightmares skyrocket. Memories of Sergio pass through my mind unexpectedly, making me unpredictable.

         "Hey um, before we leave, can I uh talk to you?" He asked in a more serious tone, rubbing the back of his neck. I sat up. "Oh uh yeah. What's up?" I question, giving him a curious look. "I uh, just wanted to apologize for um, what happened yesterday." He said, looking down. I blanked not knowing what he was talking about. "Dude what are yo-" I started, and then I remembered. The kiss.

         Those few short seconds replayed in my mind. The way his rough, chapped lips collided with mine, leaving a burnt marshmallow taste on my lips. The fireworks going of inside of my gut. Am I? No. "Oh, um, yeah. It's uh, it's ok" I say awkwardly. "Yeah, it was just everything with Lisanna and the rain and your nice li-" he caught himself, a blush creeping up his face. I laughed. "Don't worry about it. I get it." I say through my chuckles. "Oh uh good." He said, giving me an awkward smile. "Wanna never talk about this again?" He asked. I nodded. "Yeah. That might be a good idea" I say. Then there was a long silence.
