Loving To The Touch

chapter 29

I was finally discharged later in the afternoon; Ryan had however refused to leave my side along with Elliot. I had been unable to persuade them to leave, but successful to make Kade, Jake, Todd, and even Mia to go home and rest because we did have school tomorrow after all.

"Now if you need anything you have your phone with you and a pair of very healthy lungs." My mom informed me while prepping my bed to my comfort.

"Mom, I'm fine. You can go." I answered letting out a deadly sigh of annoyance.

"Okay okay. I'll go, but if you need anything you know what to do." She retorted pointing her motherly finger at my like what she does when she's trying to get her point across.

I nodded my head her way before flopping back into my bed with force from getting up and out of the wheelchair," besides Ryan is here, he's more than capable to take care of me, although I don't want him to." I commented giving Ryan a sharp glare from his spot at my vanity," and Elliot is across the hall." I added.

"Alright, I just want you to be okay. Goodnight you two." She said waving and turning out the lights making my room dark with the only source being candle light a few feet away from Ryan.

"You don't have to stay. You can always go home and sleep." I stated to him as he climbed into the bed.

"I know, but I rather stay here with you." He replied wrapping his arms gently around my torso and pulling me close.

I snuggled into his inviting sent burrowing my face into the his chest feeling it rise and fall with each of his breaths. Withing seconds my eyes drooped closed and I was surrounded by the darkness of slumber.

...

My eyes popped open immediately from the nightmare that was playing in my head. I was still with Mitch and things got a bit more physical without my permission of course.

Concentrating my hearing on the sound of my heavy breaths Like I did whenever I had a nightmare to calm myself down. A layer of sweat was douced across my forehead along with a thin layer covering my body. I can only imagine how bad that cast is going to smell when it comes off. Yuck!

When I was calmed down I noticed that Ryan was still sound asleep beside me. I would never had been able to sleep that soundly with the sound if my rapid breathing playing. Taking a minute to look at his perfectly sculpted face I got lost in thought over his messy bed head. God was it sexy.

Propping myself up on both elbows, I readied myself to get up. Thrusting my upper body up and gently swinging my legs over the side of the bed; I sat there and regained my composure.

Reaching for my crutches beside the bed I placed them under my arms and stood up slowly making sure not to wake Ryan. When an awful creak came from the walking sticks I flinched hoping he didn't wake up. Looking back he was just as asleep as he was a few minutes ago.

Continuing my journey out if my bedroom and down the hall to the kitchen. I'm craving a glass of water to sooth my scratchy throat from all the heavy breathing. Lifting up the glass to my dry lips; I drunk from the cup slowly.

I stopped suddenly when vocies were heard from down the hall. Setting down my glass and hiding behind the wall separating the kitchen from the hall; I listened in on the conversation.

"I'll see you tonight babe." A male voice announced in a low whisper.

Scrunching my eye brows together in confusion, I thought who could be in my house at this hour in the morning.
"Okay I'll see you then, but you have to leave before Lissy or the kids get up. Love you." My mom's voice responded in a whisper as well with an added kiss sound.
