I slept awfully peaceful overnight, not really feeling any pain from my hand thank god. But I wake up the next morning, to Alex already awake and looking at me.
"...morning...?"
"Morning." He kisses my forehead.
"How's your hand?"
"It feels fine."
"Good."
"Did you get much sleep last night? Or were you up all night worried about me?"
"I slept alright."
"That's good. I slept alright myself...not the best night's sleep I could've gotten though."
"Right."
"I'm sure sleep didn't come easy for her in there." I motion to the connecting door to our rooms.
"I doubt it." Alex sighs.
"Tonight will definitely be rough for her..." I say sighing, lacing my fingers of one hand with one of his.
"Yeah."
"If that was you last night...I don't know what I would've done to be honest..."
"Hopefully you won't have to find out."
"I really hope not, you already went through something similar...I don't want it to happen again."
Alex nods.
"That's always my number one concern..." I say quietly, tucking my head under his chin.
"I know." He slides his arms around me.
"And that's also my number one concern about you." He adds.
"Of course."
"I love you...always will." I add, kissing him on the cheek.
"I love you too. Forever." He says back and kisses my cheek as well.
Then in the meantime Aly's awake because she hasn't gotten much sleep and she couldn't go back to sleep. She just kept her eyes on Mike, making sure he's okay. She's sitting at the table on her laptop, energy drink in hand. Every minute or so she looks up from her computer and watches him for a few minutes before looking back down. After a while, he stirs and he's facing her when he opens his eyes.
"Morning." She says softly.
"Morning...you're up a bit early."
"Couldn't sleep."
"Nightmares?" He asks, and she nods slowly.
"I kept waking up and checking on you."
He sighs and slowly gets up, walks over to her and wraps his arms around her. She leans into him, trying not to cry again.
"I know it's natural reaction to worry, but the trainer said I'd be fine as long as I take it easy for a week."
"I know, but it's harder because of my sports medicine background. I know all those things that can happen with concussions. It scares me."
He frowns and hugs her tightly. She gets up from her chair so she can hug him properly. She lays her head in the crook of his neck and shoulder.
"I can't have you getting seriously hurt, if you had done any more damage to your head...you would've left on a stretcher with a neck brace." She mumbles.
"I thought my heart was going to stop when I realized you weren't getting up." She adds, a few tears escaping.
He feels the tears when they hit his shoulder, he pulls away from the hug and takes her face in his hands.
