Chapter 8

Nigella

"I don't wanna eat" Nathan whines like a two year old. I've been trying to feed him for the last hour but he just won't eat.

"Nate, for god's sake!" I scowl. "If you don't eat, you're going to become weaker than you are now"

"I'll eat, only if I get to eat McDonald's" He demands.

"Mate, you know I can't do that. It's against the rules of the hospital" I say, apologetically. "You'll have to eat hospital food until you're well and until you get released"

"Ugh, fine!" He throws his head back in frustration. I scoop some vegetables on the spoon and hold it in front of his mouth for him to eat it. His face scrunches in disgust as he chews the vegetables. "I'd rather go drink bleach than eat this"

"Hello, Nathan" Dr. Nelson speaks, entering the room. "Oh, hey there Nigella!" We give him a nod. "Well, how are you doing Nathan?"

"Having the time of my life" He grunts. I roll my eyes and turn to look at the doctor.

"I apologise for his immature behaviour" I say, politely. "So far he's doing better, he can walk on his own now. He has made progress. But I try not to put pressure on his since it's been only five days since the accident"

"I'm glad to know there's someone matured to take care of him" Dr. Nelson nods, impressed.

"Doctor, there's one problem. He doesn't like hospital food. He's giving me a hard time" I complain like a mother to Dr. Nelson. He laughs and shakes his head.

"Every patient in this hospital hates the food. But they don't understand that the food has the protein and nutrition they need"

"Yeah" I nod.

"Nathan, please have your food properly or else you'll grow weaker. We obviously don't want that and I also hope you take your medicine properly" He looks expectantly at my brother who nods at him. "That's good. Anyways, have a nice day I'll see you two later"

He turns to the door and leaves the room. I keep feeding Nathan the food. I offer him water, as he constantly gags after taking a bite of his food. My heart breaks to see my brother like this. He keeps complaining about the food but somehow finishes it.

"I wanna go home" He whines.

"Our house is under investigation for a long long time, so we'll need to stay somewhere else after you get released" I inform him. "We can't stay at Harry's flat because I don't wanna burden him, and I know you don't too"

"Yeah" He sighs. We are interupted by a knock on the door. My head snaps to the door.

"Come in!" I yell. The door opens to reveal Harry. He smiles brightly at both of us and steps inside the room, gently closing the door behind him.

"Hi, I'm Harry" He approaches us and offers his hand to Nathan. "Nice to meet you"

"I'm Nathan, Nigella's brother. It's very nice to meet you too" Nathan shakes his hand. "I've heard a lot about you from my sister, here"

"Oh?" Harry's eyebrows rise. He looks at me from the corner of his eyes and smirks. I move towards Nathan's bed and sit at the edge beside his legs. I shoot him a death glare. Harry takes a seat on the stool I was sitting. "All good things I hope"

"Trust me all good things" Nathan teases. I pinch his leg making him hiss at me.

"Um, I'm hope you're doing well now. I'm so sorry this happened to you" Harry says, sincerely.

"Nah, mate. No need to be sorry. Everything happens for a reason" Aiden says making me nod in agreement.

"Are you going to be released soon?" Harry raises his eyebrows.

"Oh, yeah. I hope so"

"Where are you planning to stay? Because Nigella told me your house is under a long investigation and plus you don't have any relatives here"

"We'll just find a place"

"You can just stay at my place-"

"Harry, no. We don't want to burden you" I'm quick to object. Harry shoots me a disapproving look and shakes his head, clearly not agreeing with me. "We'll just rent a flat for awhile"

"That's not happening. You guys are staying with me" He demands. "You will not be a burden. It's not fun to live alone in a house. It'll be fun to have two companions with me"

"I still don't thin-"

"Nigella, please" He pleads looking right into my eyes. I can't help but melt under his stare.

"Okay, fine" I huff, helplessly. "We'll think about it"
