The New Beginning

21. Pain

He leans in and rests his forehead against mine. We sit there looking into each other's eyes for a long time, until I heard the nurse at the door saying she needed to check my vitals and that I needed to remain in bed. No moving around, or sitting up. Kyle awkwardly walks out and says he'll be back in a minute.
I sit there talking to the nurse about this and that. Just random things. Until she asks about Kyle.
"So how long have you known that boy?" She whispers.
"Uh for a few days now," I answered sheepishly.
"Uhuh.. I can tell you like him, alot. Just be safe about this. Boys will be boys and they'll try things, don't give in. Make him work for it," she says with a wink and a giggle.
"Oh..." I replied, blushing.
"Honey, it's a joke, lighten up. Everything seems to be fine. I'll let you go now. Sleep well, darling," and with that she walks out leaving me speechless.
I lay in bed staring at the ceiling for what feels like hours, I begin to nod off thinking about Kyle.
I hear someone clear their throat in the doorway, but my head feels to heavy to move, and eyes to tired to open.
"Goodnight Carly," I hear a whisper and kiss on my forehead.
I completely fall asleep, feeling happy and safe. I wake up to a snoring noise. I feel refreshed but sore, and I stretch while looking around the room. I smile when I see Kyle asleep on the little loveseat next to my bed. Now that has to be uncomfortable! I sit up and buzz the nurse.
"Hello dear," says a woman in the doorway. "How are you feeling today?"
"Alot better, I'm hungry, actually." I say rubbing my stomach. She smiles.
"I'll be right back, I know exactly what you'd want," and she's off with a huge smile.
She comes back a minute later with a tray containing a fresh, warm cinnamon roll, eggs, bacon, and orange juice. I hear my stomach growl super loud at the smell.
"Mmmm, thank you so much," I say drooling.
She places it on my table, "Anytime dear. See you in a bit. Eat up." Then she leaves again.
I don't remember how long it's been since I last ate something. Kyle wakes up as I'm finishing and I smile at him. I gulp down my orange juice, and finish my bacon as he stretches.
"Ahh," I moan. "I don't think I've eaten in a while, and that was amazing. I can buzz her for another tray for you?"
He shake this head and smiles. Without a word he gets up and walks out the hallway. I buzz the nurse again, she retreats to grab my tray, and I tell her how wonderful the food was. She smiles and leaves.
I'm all alone, again. I sigh and get up out of bed, attempting to walk to the bathroom. My legs begin to shake really bad. What the hell? I cry out as I fall, grabbing the railing on the wall. I hear footsteps running towards me and Kyle walks in. He helps me off the floor as I explained what happened. His brow furrows and he helps me to the bathroom telling me to yell when I need him again. I nod and try not to cry as he closes the bathroom door. I feel so useless. I sit in there for awhile and hear a knock.
"Carly are you okay?"
"Yeah," just cleaning up a little. I'm disgusting.." My lip starts to tremble as a tear slides down my cheek.
"Oh. Now stop that." He commands through the door.
