My Life

14. Another Wednesday

After the Friday, they had a quarrel again and this time, Verlac blocked Chaol on Facebook.

Therefore this week, Verlac did not show up this Wednesday in the canteen.

Chaol was there though, and I had a nice time being quiet and talking with him, waiting for him to talk only when he wanted to.

I don't really remember whether Verlac was there, but it isn't that important. Verlac was still in good terms with me even if he's not, with Chaol. I try, every night, to knock some sense into him, but he doesn't heed me.

Chaol and me were alone today, for the first time. It was peaceful.

As I went home, I remembered that I actually fell and hurt my leg over a huge flower pot when I felt the pain.

I guessed that I was too happy being with him that I entirely forgot about my pain.

I knew it wasn't a serious wound but I still went to him for some help because I wanted to know whether he cared.

Surprisingly, he did, but what he recommended left me a scar to remember.

[3/30, 19:09] Chaol Love: Hello, message me when you reach home safely.

[3/30, 19:40] Ruth: I'm home.

[3/30, 19:42] Ruth: I nearly knocked down a flower pot at school.. I didnt know it wounded me... it hurts...

[3/30, 19:54] Chaol Love: Leg?

[3/30, 19:55] Ruth: Yes

[3/30, 19:55] Chaol Love: Are you alright?

[3/30, 19:55] Ruth: Um, it hurts..

[3/30, 19:57] Chaol Love: Are you alright?

[3/30, 19:57] Chaol Love: Do you need help?

[3/30, 19:57] Chaol Love: You need to put medicine.

[3/30, 19:57] Ruth: What medicine?

[3/30, 19:57] Chaol Love: And wrap something with it.

[3/30, 19:57] Ruth: Do I need to put ice?

[3/30, 19:57] Chaol Love: I don't know... sorry

[3/30, 19:57] Chaol Love: Yes

[3/30, 19:57] Chaol Love: Ice is a must

[3/30, 19:57] Ruth: Really...

[3/30, 19:58] Chaol Love: It helps to slow down the blood

[3/30, 19:58] Chaol Love: You have an icebag?

[3/30, 19:58] Ruth: No

[3/30, 19:58] Chaol Love: Put ice on your leg and rest , don't touch it

[3/30, 19:58] Chaol Love: I know because when I was fighting I got injured too

[3/30, 19:59] Ruth: It hurts man... you'll be here later?

[3/30, 19:59] Chaol Love: And I put ice all day

[3/30, 19:59] Chaol Love: Yes

[3/30, 19:59] Ruth: Okay

[3/30, 19:59] Chaol Love: If you need me

[3/30, 19:59] Ruth: I need you to be here

[3/30, 19:59] Chaol Love: OK I will

[3/30, 19:59] Ruth: Okay

[3/30, 20:22] Ruth: Does ice really work?

[3/30, 20:22] Chaol Love: Yeah

[3/30, 20:22] Chaol Love: It does

[3/30, 20:23] Ruth: But its not spewing blood

[3/30, 20:23] Chaol Love: Place it on your leg

[3/30, 20:23] Chaol Love: And every 20 seconds change the position.

[3/30, 20:23] Ruth: I'm scared it'll hurt

[3/30, 20:24] Chaol Love: No it won't, it will hurt only if you touch it

[3/30, 20:24] Ruth: But the skin peeled off...

[3/30, 20:24] Chaol Love: Don't put it there too long, you will get a frostbite

[3/30, 20:24] Ruth: Okay let me go and get some ice...

[3/30, 20:24] Chaol Love: Just put ice, and then put some medicine

[3/30, 20:24] Ruth: Big or small one?

[3/30, 20:24] Chaol Love: Be careful

[3/30, 20:25] Chaol Love: Ice comes in big and small?

[3/30, 20:25] Ruth: Do I need to put it in cloth?

[3/30, 20:25] Chaol Love: Yes

[3/30, 20:25] Ruth: Sure it wont hurt?

[3/30, 20:25] Chaol Love: And don't forget to crawl 🙂

[3/30, 20:26] Ruth: Not that serious... I didn't crawl when I was with you

[3/30, 20:26] Chaol Love: I would not guarantee after putting ice the pain will fade, but it will definitely heal it faster

[3/30, 20:26] Chaol Love: If you crawl with me , I'm going to carry you

[3/30, 20:31] Ruth: You cant carry me.. I'm way too heavy

[3/30, 20:32] Chaol Love: No you aren't.

[3/30, 20:33] Ruth: Yes I am.

[3/30, 20:33] Chaol Love: Nonsense

[3/30, 20:34] Ruth: You can carry me? 😂

[3/30, 20:34] Ruth: Impossible

[3/30, 20:50] Chaol Love: I could try

[3/30, 20:51] Chaol Love: You're adorable

[3/30, 20:51] Ruth: No I'm not

[3/30, 20:51] Ruth: You are cute

[3/30, 20:51] Chaol Love: Really?

[3/30, 20:52] Ruth: Yes.. especially when you smile

[3/30, 20:53] Chaol Love: Thanks

Sneak peek into our conversation ended. Some things, I still have to keep them to myself.

It didn't work, the ice... I still have a visible scar and now it's already September 25.

I guess the remedy was for another kind of wound. But its alright, at least he cared.
