Alex's Pov.

I lay in my bed like a freaking statue, everything is just so hard to process, like eating something hard to digest at night and you lay there tossing and turning the whole night with a bad stomach.

Everything's fine of course, my mom and I (and my stomach) are perfectly fine, well we got Nathan to thank for that, again. He just has this thing that he comes on the exact time we--I---need him most.

So what basically happened was, well before I passed out that is; Nathan along with his parents got home but Mrs. Sandoval realised that she had something to give me, which she obviously forgot. She then asked Nathan to be a good lad and go back to the hospital and give it to me (which was of course a very beautiful lasagna). He obeyed, but when he arrived at the hospital and got to my room, it was empty (since I already left). He immedietly alarmed the whole staff of my disapperance and they did a small man hunt. He also did his own search, minutes later he was starting to panick. A girl with a newly swun abdomen, can never get far. He was starting to freak out when he heard a cry across the hallway, like a bolt of lightning he darted towards the scream's direction. He then saw me on the floor, unconsious and my mom tossing and groaning in the hospital bed. He immdietly called for help. My mom calmed down after she was injected with something, but I was in pretty bad shape, the 'opening' from my surgery opened and because of that I lost a huge amount of blood. My white hospital dress was soaked with blood on the rib area. But we were fine. What got me thinking was the man in mom's room. He looked very, very familliar, and the way he looked at me, the way he acted towards me, it was....odd.

"Can I come in?" a voice from the door said, after knocking. Nathan. After everything that happened to me today, I was actually surprised he didn't ran to the nearest exit. We owe him a lot, and I mean lot.He should be frustrated or pissed right now; he saved me from a near death fall and now, he saved my mom and me from almost bleeding to death. I don't think a poster with his face and the words, 'thank you' can do it.

"hey" I mumbled not daring to look at him, my eyes were looking at my hands, who were playing in my lap.

"Are we going to go through this Alex? He asked then started to make his way to my bed; I can hear his footsteps getting closer. I held in the bed sheets, crumpling it with my close hands. I was getting ready for any violent reactions from him; a fit, a scream, curse words, a long your-so-stupid-and-I'm-so-dissapointed-in-you speech, just anything. But as always, he surprised me, he held my hands that were curently curled up into a fist and then untangled it gently.

"Hey" he called out, but I was still having a silent argument with myself if I was going to look up and meet his gaze. After a lot of hurtful words, some curses and death glares- it was actually starting to get physical- with myself. I took a sharp and long intake of breath, held it, then looked at him. It was obvious he was trying to look serious but is failing misreably. He was turning red trying not to laugh but it only took him a few seconds to hold it, he then started to laugh holding his tummy and his mouth open. His phone, whom he was holding, aimed on my face then flashed. I dont think he can stay standing in a few seconds, and as if on cue, his legs gave up on him and fell with a loud thud. But you think that stopped him? no, he had to roll on the floor like a rolling pin.

After a few more laugh -and some rolling- he finally got a hold of himself. He tried to compose himself one more time, trying not to remember what happened and laugh -and roll- again, he had been doing that 7 times already. He actually stood straight this time, that has been the longest by far.He had tears rolling in his cheeks and a huge amount stocked in the corner of his eyes.
