Beautiful Nightmare

Hospital Stay

Kirstie Pov:

"It's going to be okay." I whispered soothingly to a whimpering Avi.

Esther had mistakingly told Avi that we were taking him to the hospital, and apparently Avi has a fear of hospitals. Nice move, Esther... Now I had to calm Avi down before we got to the hospital, and it was not working. The closer we got, the worse Avi got. It didn't help his still bleeding cut that he was thrashing around in my arms.

"Avi, you need to calm down before you cause your cut to open up more." I whispered to Avi.

Avi whimpered again then curled up in my arms. Avi didn't say anything or make any more noises for the rest of the ride, which scared me a little. But I could feel him breathing, which was a good sign. Once we got to the hospital, Esther, Scott, and I didn't know how we were going to get Avi inside. Scott finally got the idea that he could carry Avi in, but would have Esther and I close incase Avi slipped from Scott's arms. Scott successfully carried Avi in and a nurse came to him quickly when she saw Avi's bleeding side. The nurse gently picked Avi up and laid him on a gurney. They let me go with Avi, but told Scott and Esther to stay out in the waiting room.

It took them an hour to get Avi to calm back down, get the cut stitched up, and get the blood back in him. I was waiting for them to ask what happened to Avi, and I was still trying to get my explanation together; because I knew I couldn't tell them that Avi's demon father cut his side open in a fight. That would just cause trouble, and lord knows that's the last thing Avi needs right now.

•Skipping a little for times sake•

The doctors and nurses finally got everything working like they wanted, and now Avi could finally rest. I knew after loosing all that blood, that Avi needed a good, long nap. Plus, it was kind of late, so he needed to sleep anyways. Well, I needed to sleep too, but I wanted to watch Avi and make sure he's okay before I fall into a deep sleep and have issues waking back up.

"Kirst, I can stay awake to make sure nothing happens to Avi." Scott said softly.

"Or I will." Esther said softly.

I shook my head no, if something serious happened to Avi, I wanted to be there by his side right then and there. I didn't want to get woke up and finally wake up too late to say goodbye to Avi, if that happened. It was quickly getting harder and harder to stay awake; Scott looked over at me and whispered:

"Go to sleep if you really need to, I know I won't sleep tonight. Worry will keep me awake."

I nod then fall asleep quickly, but my sleep was far from peaceful. It was filled with nightmares of Avi dying in various ways; I often woke up screaming and sobbing. I would almost wake Avi up each time I woke from my nightmares, but Scott would stop me, saying he needed to rest. Which was true, the nurses were bugging him enough without my jumpy butt adding to the mess. Avi seemed to sleep like nothing had happened, which seemed to be common but rare at the same time. Like he could sleep, but could be woken up at the smallest noise, movement, or action. It was certainly odd, I can say that.

The rest of the time I wasn't sleeping on and off, I watched Avi. It seems creepy, I know, but I have never had the chance just to really LOOK at him. I've only gotten the quick looks, glances, or quick stares that occur during the day. I noticed how young but old his features look, he looked like a child, but time was winding down his looks slowly. Or it may be his stress, I may not ever know. But it fits him, since he's very mysterious.

"Kirstie?" A soft voice called out to me a few hours later.

"Hmmmm?" I hummed looking over at Avi.

"I'm hungry." He mumbled.

I chuckled, he was almost always hungry. It seemed to be another thing about him, he always seemed to eat a lot. Well not A LOT, but more than I'm used to seeing people eat. But that could be a good thing, it could mean he's very healthy. But I don't know, that man confuses me; but I like it. I normally don't like it when I can't figure my boyfriend out, but something about Avi makes that trait likable.

"I'll see what I can do, before the monster inside your stomach decides to come out." I giggled, leaning over to push the call button for the nurse.

I eventually got Avi something to eat after arguing with a nurse for fifteen minutes over if Avi was well enough to eat or not. Sometimes you can figure things out before the medical staff does, it's like sometimes your smarter than the professionals.

A nurse came in a little while later with food for Avi. He smiled at the nurse then thanked her softly before beginning to eat. I just sat there and watched him again, thankfully going unnoticed. He always pestered me when he can catch me "staring at him". I would always end up a blushing mess by the end of his teasing, it was unavoidable. But normally it ended up in Avi being really sweet to me, so there is an upside to that. I'm not saying he isn't sweet, be use he is, it's just he's ten times sweeter after he teases me badly.

"Kirstie?" Avi called out again.

"What Avi?" I said softly.

"How did I end up in here?" He asked.

...Now how am I supposed to tell him he almost died again at the hands of his father?
