    Elijah stayed all day helping me with every thing he could. I felt useless. The cuts all over me made it painful to move, so I had no choice but to let him take care of me.  He helped me, he helped me take my medicine and he told me funny stories to help me forget about the pain. Usually in hospitals the patients would watch TV but my eyes were burned so I couldn't see.
       He seemed happy to take care of me. I could tell by his voice. But why did he agree to take care of me? It took me a while but I finally found the courage to ask him.
       "It's because I care about you, I wouldn't risk my life to save you from that man and then just leave you in the hospital all alone." He said lovingly before giving me a hug. Unlike the hug yesterday he tightly embraced me this time. I cringed a little from the pain emanating from the cuts. He let me go. He apologized for hurting me, he sounded sad. I lifted up my hand a little and placed it on his head that was bowed. Although it hurt a little i kept it there. We were silent until there was a knock on the door.
