Scars

Chapter 12~ Laughter and Disgust

Previously- I stared at her wide eyed..all this time I wanted to protect her Miles but I guess I'm the one she needs protecting from.

Beeeeeeeeeeppppppppp

Amber's P.O.V
I woke up. My eyes were blinded by such bright light. My head was pounding and my throat was dry.

It was hard to swallow. It felt like there was a big dry lump just sitting there.

I look over to my left to see I was hooked up to an I.V. My Vitals were steady.

I look to my right to see a beaten up Asher slumped in the uncomfortable hospital chair.

I smiled and tried to sit up to get my cup of water that was across from me. A pain jolted up my side. I winced. "Ahhh."

I looked over to make sure Asher didn't wake up. He was still sound asleep.

I wonder how long I've been here for? That question lingered in my mind but I didn't pay much attention to it.

I grabbed my cup of water and took a sip. The cold liquid tickled my throat but It felt so refreshing.

I put the empty cup back on the table and laid back down. I sigh. My head is killing me.

The doctor walks in. I give him a faint smile and he returns it.

"Hello Amber. Are you feeling any better?" He asked.

"Kinda... I just have a headache." I reply.

"Well that shouldn't be so hard to treat. I'll have the nurse go fetch you some pain killers." He smiles.

"Thanks doctor.... Dickson."

"Anytime. You're injuries aren't that critical but I'd like to keep you for another night just to be safe."

I nod.

"I'll send the nurse now." He says as he walks out.

Few minutes later

The nurse walks in with two pain killer. I put them in my mouth and take a big swing of water.

She takes my cup and gives me a small smile.

I faintly return that smile.

As she leaves Asher wakes up.

"How are you feeling Cupcake?" He asked, He sounded groggy.

"I could be better but I'll manage."

"I'm sorry Amber... I wish I wouldn't have brought you to that house. None of this wouldn't have happened if-" I put my hand on his hand.

"It's okay, it isn't your fault Asher." I give him a reassuring smile.

He looks to side. Sadness in his eyes. I put his hand on my cheek and nuzzles it.

"I'm okay, really." I say.

He bites his lip which soon turns into a half smile.

"Are you sure?" He asks.

"Positive." I smile.

I move over and Pat the spot next to me. "Come sit. I Don't bite." I chuckle.

He gives me his crooked yet sexy smile. "I mean considering I just met you.."

"Oh shut up and just come sit." I laugh.

He lays next to me and lay my head on him. We watch the stupid soap opera and laugh about the drama that goes on.
