• Taylor's POV •
My left foot is in agony. It burns so bad. I can hardly move it at all. The first night in hospital was crap. The bed is so uncomfortable and the kid in the next room wouldn't stop screaming all night. I wanted to go see if she was okay but I couldn't even walk. My Cyrus was gone and Luke wasn't allowed in yet so I was sitting in the hospital bed by myself with nothing to entertain me. I feel like I really need to do something for Luke in return for saving my life. If it wasn't for him I could've died. The start to my summer definitely hasn't gone too well.. And it's only the second day.
• Lukes POV •
It's 9:50 and I'm ready to go visit Taylor. I go out to the resort and ask for a cab. "Where you going buddy?" The driver asks. "Hospital so visit my friend. She was bitten by a blue ringed octopus." I explain. He turns around and looks at me with a shocked expression. "Hey hey to pay my respects I won't charge you nothing to take you there. My daughter died from one of those things." He said. I just replied with, "Oh. I'm sorry for your loss." And we continued driving.
I got to the hospital and walked straight to Taylor's room. I peeked in and she was on the phone so I decided to stand outside and listen.
"The first two days did not go too well mum. I nearly drowned, embarrassed myself in the restaurant and got bitten by a blue ringed octopus. Yes yes I'm okay I'm just in hospital. The only good thing about this place is this guy Luke who's staying here too. He's so sweet and caring and he saved my life. He's got real good looks too." I heard her say. Me? Wow I didn't know she thought that. I decide to just stay out and listen until she's done. "Mum it's too early to tell if I have a chance with him. He probably doesn't even like me in that way." I decide to show myself and stand infront of the glass door so she can see me. She looks up at me and her jaw drops. I raise my eyebrow at her to be smart and she covers her mouth. I laugh a bit and shake my head then turn the handle and let myself in. "Luke is actually here now mum so I've got to go. I'll call you later I promise. Love you, bye." She said and ended the call. "Did you hear all that?" She asks innocently. I giggle and nod. She starts turning red in the face. "I'm sorry?" She whispers. "Don't be. It's cute." I respond. I then walk over to her hospital bed and lift the sheet up to see her foot. She yells 'hey!' And pulls she gown down because it was up and she wasn't wearing underwear.. Lovely. I bite my lip in satisfaction and wink at her. She rolls her eyes and carefully moves her foot so I can see it properly. It's swollen and bruised. "Can you move it?" I ask. She tries and winces as it must hurt. She sniffs and pulls the covers back over herself. I sit on the edge of the bed then push her a bit so she'd move over before laying next to her. I put my arm around her and she cuddles into my chest immediately. I can feel her breathing on my skin. It tickles a bit. I rest my chin on her head and we stay in this position for a while until I hear a slight snore coming from her.
Then the doctor walks in and I lay there just thinking about things. "Am I interrupting something?" The doctor whispers. "No she's just asleep." I whisper back. "She can be discharged from here tomorrow morning." He states and leaves the room. "Good." I mutter to myself and put a strand of her hair behind her ear. I look at her pearl earrings. They really suit her. I decide to leave to let her rest. I get up carefully and gently tuck her in a bit. She restlessly turns to her back again and sighs. I kiss her forehead and go to leave. Then I see her phone. I grab it and luckily there's no password. I scroll in her call log and dial her mums number. As it rings I stand outside in the corridor.
M- Taylor's Mum / L- Luke
