No Holds Barred

The Healing Process

*Mari*

I'm glad LaLa was finally able to fall asleep. I watched her breathe. Nook went for a walk a couple minutes ago. I called my grandma and she would be up here shortly before she went to work to bring me clothes. LaLa grandma was gonna be joining us too.

A nurse walked on the room to check LaLa's vitals and see what she wanted for breakfast. She was knocked out so I helped pick her some light. French toast sticks, yogurt, and strawberries. The nurses nodded and circled stuff. LaLa stirred a little bit relaxed back into me. I adjusted her a little and the nurse smiled.

"You must be her brother," she said. I smiled and shook my head. I looked down at LaLa and rubbed her hair.

"You could say that but I'm just her best friend," I told her.

"You must be very close." I nodded. Very close.

It wasn't long before the nurse left and LaLa's grandmother came in. She smiled when she saw me and tiptoed the little closer area. I tried not to laugh because she got a big ole butt that kept hitting the door by mistake. I see where LaLa get it from. Nook shook his head and I did the same looking down at LaLa. Her grandmother came and kissed her forehead and mine before whispering something in Nook's ear. He nodded listening and she left. He went and laid back down on the couch. Watching LaLa sleep made me sleepy so it wasn't long before I dozed off.

*Nook*

I took a long walk down the hall and all the way back around again. I hated hospitals and that's because my brother died in one. I was enough thinking that could've happened to LaLa. Her grandmother helped me calm down a little but it really didn't change the reality of it all.

Mari's phone woke him up and he got up and headed downstairs. I sat and watched LaLa sleep or at least I thought she was. She opened her eyes and looked at me. She adjusted her position before she reached for me. I moved closer to her and grabbed her hand. She was thinking hard about something so I just rubbed her knuckles waiting for her to speak.

"You know Eric is jealous of you?" She asked lowly and I ran my finger across her ring.

"Why would he be jealous of me? He the one who had you," I said before I knew it.

"He found out me and you used to talk and he asked me did I still have feelings for you?" I raised my eyebrows.

"What did you say?" I asked, studying her. She exhaled.

"I didn't say anything."

"What did you want to say?" I watched her face. She broke eye contact and looked at the ceiling. I wanted for her answer , starting into her beautiful browns. Does this mean she still go feelings for the kid? I mean I still got feelings for her and I'm hoping she fell the same. I mean got too much history to just start over with somebody else. She soon was asleep. Maybe it was just the medicine. I just leaned down and kisses her forehead.
