I awoke in a hospital bed. The mattress felt cold and hard. I tried to pull the sheets up to keep me warm, but my arms failed me. I squinted at the light coming from the ceiling, it was bright and blinding.
I lifted up my left arm which felt a lot heavier than the other then winced not realizing its true weight. There was a small cast starting from my fingers and ending halfway up my forearm. My wrist throbbed in pain as moved it around to get better look. I know Dylan yanked my left wrist pretty hard last night.. But I didn't think it would be broken.
I sat up in my hospital bed further examining my self. The cheap bed made a creaking sound as I arose from the sheets. My eye was oozing with a black ring around it. Probably from the punch I received. i lifted my right hand to my face and lightly traced the many bruises and cuts.
"Ouch!" I said jumping back a little because I accidentally pressed on a cut too hard.
"Princess?" Niall lifted his head from the corner of the room. His eyes were droopy, his hair was messy, and his hands wrapped in medical cloth.
"Niall?" I whimpered, " Are you okay?"
"I'm fine. How are you?" He smiled genuinely while limping over to my bed. His face cringed every time his right foot hit the floor.
"I'm okay.. But my eye and wrist feel awful." I replied.
"What's wrong with your leg?" I added pulling him in for a soft hug.
"Nothing, just a small ankle sprain." He said indicating it was no big deal.
"Thanks for saving me from Dyl-... Dyl-..." I responded feeling water pouring out of my eyes. No. I didn't want to cry in front of him again. He probably thinks I cry too much already. I couldn't hold the tears back, so I hid my face under the pillow and tried to silence my sobs.
"Kris?" He spoke trying to take the pillow off my face.
"No. Don't look at me!" I mumbled trying to get the pillow out of his hands. He froze and let go. I heard footsteps around me bed. Well. It was more of a loud lumber. I felt a dip grow in the other half of my hospital bed and a groan or two sound.
"Kristi." Niall spoke softly scooting closer to my shaking body. I kept the pillow tightly bound around my face turning away from him.
"C'mere. Don't be afraid of me." He added slowly snaking his arms around my waist. He slid my body across the bed until my back was against his chest. It was silent for a while, like we were both just enjoying the moment.
He started to slowly take the pillow away revealing my tear filled eyes and red face. I didn't fight back because I was tired... Plus I knew he would never give up.
"There she is!" He teased. His warmth comforted me better than any blanket would. I rolled over so I was facing him with my hands on his chest.
"Owww.." I moaned while flipping on my side. My whole leg howled in pain. I quickly threw off the sheets to look at the damage on my leg.
It was severely bruised on my upper thigh and my lower knee. I moved away from Niall back into the coldness of the bed. I touched the bruise gently out of curiosity to test how bad it was.
Bad Idea Kristi. Bad Idea.
The moment my finger contacted my deep purple and yellow spot, I could of screamed at the top of my lungs. It sent a sharp pain up my leg an into my inner torso.
"Ooo." I whimpered falling back into Niall's arms.
"You're really hurt. Aren't you?" He whispered in my ear glancing back and forth from my eyes to my leg.
"Yess..." I silently said looking back into his crystal blue eyes. His face frowned in sadness. He started to lift himself out of the hospital bed.
"I'm going to get your doctor." He paced himself to the door.
"No! Stay please." I cried feeling the bed bounce back up and coldness surround me again. I shivered as my toes curled. He nodded and put his head out the door. He shouted something at a near by nurse before returning to my side. His warmth surrounded me again and I felt relieved. I let out a small sigh and snuggled back into him.
"Ni-"
"Just relax everything's going to be ok." He interrupted.
"The nurse is coming in to inspect you and see when you can come home." He smiled at the word 'home'.
Ahh. Home. Back to...
Back to-
My PARENTS.
