A Heart Split in Two (To be Continued)

Chapter 5.

~Skyler~

I wake up in a hard bed, my head hurting beyond belief and I cant see. when I start freaking out I notice that I can move my head. I soon feel hands grabbing my arms to hold them down and I start to yell. I hear a familiar voice saying for me to calm down, I start to listen and stop squirming.

My eyes are soon uncovered and im face to face with Lea. I look around to the best of my ability and see im in a hospital. My head is strapped into a brace type thing, my mother is sitting in the corner.

"Oh my god, I was so worried. When I saw you slip I tried to catch you but couldn't. Your head literally bounced off the sidewalk, I thought you had died!" Lea says crying and squeezing my hand.

My mother comes over and holds the other hand. "The doctors had to help quickly, the brace is to stop you from moving your head around to much, you suffered a skull fracture as well as a severe concussion. They managed to fix the fracture up but your not supposed to leave the bed for a more few days till they know you will be ok to go home. You have been passed out for a day in a half. your friend here has never left your side. I had to force her to go eat something." my mother says with a small laugh.

I look at Lea and smile, she stops crying and wipes her tears away. "Im sorry for crying, I know that's probably not what you wanted to wake up to. What happened, the doctors said that you blacked out before you got the head injury, did something happen?" Lea asks and I blush.

"Um... when you kissed my cheek, I kind of had a panic attack, it happens sometimes." Lea's face falls and tears threaten to leave her eyes again.

"So... it was my fault you fell...?" Tears start to fall. She starts to get up to leave but I grab her hand and pull her back.

"Please don't blame yourself, you didn't know about my condition. Ill tell you about it after im out of the hospital. Thank you for staying with me, please don't go anywhere, I want you to stay." Her face turns into a smile and she pulls a chair closer and sits next to my bed, my mom doing the same.

"Then I wont leave. thank you." my mom looks at both of us and smiles.

"Im glad you have found such a good friend, sweetie. Jasmine was in here a couple times as well to check up on you. She left a few hours ago to go get what work you will be missing from school this week. You will be taking the week off to recover. I will be working so you will be home alone, is that ok?"

Before I can answer to say yes lea stops me by talking first.

"There is no need to that, I can watch her. better to have a friend with her in case something happens. my mom works here anyway. She is one of the head of staff." she says all in one breath. my mom's smile grows.

"Are you sure, that would mean you would miss school to? Im glad that you care enough to do that but I don't want you bringing your grades down as well" my mother asks her.

"Im 100 percent sure ma'am. I want to make sure my only real friend here is ok. Im sure she doesn't want to spend a week in her room alone, that would be awful boring and lonely." she says looking at me and I nod my head agreeing, happy that one of my friends would do that for me.

I hate being alone. "Plus it would give me the chance to explain everything to her, im sure she wants to know what happened." I say to my mom, trying to get her to say yes.

"Of course she can do it, how can I say no to that." she turns to lea. "I expect you to take good care of her, im putting her well being in your hands for this week. Her father is on a business trip this whole month and ill be working till late." she looks at Lea with one of the most serious looks I could ever picture her having. Lea looks a little intimidated for a moment but composes herself.
