Together (sequel to Camp)

Chapter 24: Truth

Justin

"Baby, stop moving around," I groaned into Bella's ear as she shifted against my body once again.

"I need to pee," She explained and groaned again once my arms pulled her back into me.

"Hold it, your body is nice and warm," I mumbled into her hair.

"No Jay, I really need to go," She whined out with a slight giggle as I pecked the skin on her shoulder.

"Ok," I gently released her before hopping out of the bed and turning on the lights. I then walked back over to the bed and scooped Bella's small body up, carrying her over to the bathroom.

"I can walk you know," Bella shook her head as I placed her down in the bathroom.

"Yeah, but I don't like watching you wince with every step. I'll be back in there, call me when you're done," I pecked her cheek and went to walk out of the door before she stopped me...

"Can you please bring me my towel? I want to take a bath, oh and some clothes please!" She smiled brightly. I looked at her questioningly before grabbing her things and walking back into bathroom with her items.

"I'm starting to think you woke me up just for me to carry you in here so you could have a bath," I smirked and began to run the tap, using the bubble bath stuff I got her for Valentines day.

"Maybe... Now go, I do need to pee," She giggled before pushing me outside the door. I chuckled, going over to the windows and opening the curtains, letting some sunlight through.

"Where's Isabella?" I heard Faith ask. I turned around to see her bringing in a tray of hospital food breakfast...

"Taking a bath," I explained before plonking myself down on the bed and flipping open my Mac, going over the order details.

"Then why are you awake?" Faith asked as she settled down the food and began to empty the bins.

"How else do you expect her to get to the bathroom?" I asked rhetorically before switching on the T.V.

"By using her legs. Justin, stop picking her up and let her walk!" Faith scolded me playfully before giggling slightly afterwards.

"I can't help it, I don't like seeing her in pain," I shrugged and sheepishly looked down...

"I know you don't but, you're just prolonging the healing process," Faith reminded me. It had been a full week since Bella woke up and she was slowly recovering from everything even if it was painful...

"How much longer do you think she needs to stay?" I asked Faith as she picked up some of Bella and I's food wrappers.

"Justin, she can barely walk right now. She'll at least be here another 3 weeks, minimum," Faith said to me sadly. I groaned and flung my head back into the pillow like an impatient teen.

"It won't be that bad," Faith giggled after she had basically cleaned the entire room.

"I hate seeing her like this," I murmured, rubbing my face.

"You two can go out of the hospital for a few hours and even see the puppy. Don't think of this place as a prison, think about how the girl you love is alive and happy," I thought for a second before sitting back up properly and nodding my head appreciatively.

"And what about her gifts?" Faith added with a smirk on her lips, mirroring mine.

"They should be arriving today. If they come at the desk, can you tell me please?" I asked politely.

"Of course, I'll bring them up myself," Faith smiled before exiting the room. I smiled to myself before laying back and imagining the look on Bella's face.
