More than just a friendship

Chapter 4 - I'll take care of you

"I think she's waking up."
"Look, her eyes are moving."
"Jennifer? Jen, can you hear me?"
I open up my eyes. Francis and our doctor are standing on each side of the bed I'm laying in. They smile when they see that I'm awake but I wish that I wasn't because the light in here is killing me and it feels like my head is going to explode.
"Hi, Jennifer." The doctor says "How are you feeling?" I close my eyes again, making weird faces because the pain "Are you in a lot of pain?" I nod "Okay, I'll give you something." she starts looking for something in her stuff on the other side of the trailer.
"Francis," I whisper ", could you just turn the light off? It's killing me."
"Oh, of course." he says and a few seconds later the light disappears. I open up my eyes carefully again and it feels already better.
"Do you think you can sit up for just a second?" the doctor asks with my medicine in her hand and a cup of water in her other.
"I'll help you." Francis says kindly. He puts one of his arms under my back close to my shoulders and he takes my hand with his free one. I'm trying to drag myself up and with his help I'm up after just a few seconds.
"Thank you." I smile and then the doctor gives me a pill. I swallow it fast with the water while she's fixing the back of the bed so that I can sit straight.
"We'll leave you alone now. You need to rest." Francis says "Do you want me to get you someone first?" I nod
"I would like to meet Josh if he's still here."
He smiles "He haven't moved an inch since we forced him to sit down in your trailer about three hours ago."

About a minute later Josh enters the trailer I'm staying in. Francis and the doctor are not here anymore so we're alone. A smile is playing on his lips when he sees me.
"Hey baby," he says. He closes the door and then sits down on my bed "How are you feeling?"
"I've been better." I say while trying to smile but it hurts too much so I return too looking sad.
"I'm happy that you're awake." he says, taking my hand is his "You know what happened right?" I shake my head "You collapsed and fell in my arms. Everyone got panic, especially Francis, so Sam and I took you here to see the doctor and she told us that you're not only dehydrated, you also have a concussion which is really weird because why would you have that?" his hand tightens around mine "But then, she found a wound and a bump in the back of your head but no one knows why since I caught you when you fell." I lift my hand to feel on the bandage that's wrapped around my head. I have no idea why I would have a concussion. "So when are we going back to set? We need to finish the scene." I say.
He laughs "We don't know yet but you need to rest. A lot."
I sigh "Okay. We need to work extra hard tomorrow then."
"No, no, no, no." he shakes his head "You need to rest for a few days, Jen."
"What? No I can't do that! I shake my head "We'll lose a lot of important time. I can't do that."
"Shhh," he bends forward and to press his lips against my bandage ", yes you can. Just relax." I close my eyes "I'll take care of you."
