Shy Love

[0.4]

    Its been about a week since I woke up from my coma, I've been tested everyday and constantly asked how I'm feeling.

Brennen and I have been hanging out when he's not busy with other patients, he's so funny and cute... I'm developing a crush on my nurse.

Lilah knows how I feel about him and whenever he comes into the room, she tries to leave us alone but before she leaves she makes a dirty comment or she'll try and have him and I talk and then she'll just butt in and embarrass me.

She's my best friend, like a sister even, but sometimes I wanna hate her.

I'm pretty sure Brennen has figured out that I like him, I'm just praying he likes me back. He makes me feel safe when he hugs and just talking to him, I always have fun and learn something new about him. I already feel like I've known him for years.

"Hey baby girl! I'm back," Brennen walks into my room with a Taco Bell bag in hand.

"Hey! What's good?" I sat up and ran my fingers through my short brown hair.

"Well, I got some Taco Bell, for my favorite patient and I," he places the bag on the table and brings it closer to me and sitting on the bed.

"Best nurse ever!" I laugh and he hands me my tacos, we're both crazy Taco Bell lovers. Its one of many things we have in common.

"I know," he smiled cheekily before taking a bite out of his taco, I did the same but struggled since I still have my left hand in a heavy cast.

"You're such a messy eater," Brennen laughed.

"Try eating with one hand," I stuck my tongue out being playful.

"Hey, you got some sauce on your face.." I pointed to his cheek, he got a napkin to wipe it off but made it worse, causing me to laugh.

"You get it off then," he handed me a napkin. I leaned forward getting closer to him, I wiped away the sauce then placed a kiss on his cheek.

"Thank you for being such a great person to me," I said and leaned back into my bed. 

He seemed surprised from the kiss but smiled back at me, his smile bright like usual.

"Its a pleasure to look after you Alice... You're my favorite patient," he replied then took a sip from his soda.

"I miss having you at home," my dad said. My dad came in to visit today. He wants to spend some good ol' quality time with me.

"I miss being at home too, but I think it would be too difficult for me to be there and just... Not be able to walk around or do anything, being stuck in a wheel chair," I sighed.

"I know, but you'd have Lilah with you and some other of your friends with you,"

"And I'd still be stuck in my wheel chair. I'd be the only one who wouldn't be able to do things, Lilah would have to struggle pushing me around, I can't deal with that... I'd feel horrible," I can't even stand thinking about it, I'm so useless no being able to walk.

"Oh honey, Lilah wouldn't mind. You know that. She'd be happy to take you out, just like old times," he held my hand tightly.

"Dad, I want to stay here longer... I don't think I'm ready to go back home yet. Can we talk about something else now?" My voice cracked. I don't want to be stuck at home or being pushed in a wheel chair to get to places.

"Alright, how are you and that guy nurse? Lilah mentioned that you two hang out a lot," my dad laughed

"Dad! Don't laugh... And she did? Ugh I swear she can't shut up sometimes." I groan and cover my face with my hand
