Chapter 19
Morning...
Nick POV
Jeff wasn't doing the best this morning. He was laying on his stomach in bed. And he looked like he was about to cry any second.
"Jeff?"
He looked up at me.
"Do you want to do something today? Or just rest?"
"Rest," he mumbled into his pillow.
"Do you need more medicine?"
"Yes."
"I'll go get you some."
I ran down to the nurse and got him some more pain medicine. I gave it to him, and he sat up to take it. I sat down next to him, and put my arm around him.
"Are you ok?" I asked, once he was done taking the pills.
"No."
He wrapped his arms around my neck and held on tight.
"What can I do to make you feel better?"
"Nothing. Everything just hurts really bad and only time will make it feel better."
I sighed.
"I don't want to go to school tomorrow."
"If you don't feel good, then don't."
"Stay with me."
"Jeff..."
"Please."
I sighed again.
Jeff let go and laid down again. I decided I was just going to let him rest for a little while.
Later...
Jeff POV
My back was hurting even though I took medicine for it. Nick was in the shower right now, so I was all alone.
I got up and took my shirt and pants off, and I looked at myself in the mirror. There's so many bruises.
I turned so I could see my back. My back probably looked the worst.
"Jeff, what are you doing?"
My cheeks flushed red when I saw Nick staring at me.
"I just... I wanted to know if it looked bad," I said, hurrying to get a pair of pajamas and put them on.
I quickly got on a pair of pajamas.
"Are you feeling any better?" Nick asked.
"No. My back is hurting a lot."
I got into bed and curled up.
"Are you hungry? It's about time for dinner."
"No..."
"Well could you at least try eating?"
"I don't want to."
"Jeff, you haven't eaten anything all day."
"I just don't want to eat. I don't feel good."
"I know you don't. But your body needs food to get better."
Nick sat down on the edge of my bed.
"Let's go get something to eat, ok? And then you can come back up and rest."
Nick took my hand, and pulled me out of bed. I followed him down to the cafeteria. Trent and David were there. Nick told me to go sit down with them, and he'd get me some food. So I sat down at the table.
