He Saved Me

Chapter twenty five

~Leahs P.O.V~

I woke up, still holding Masons hand. Butterflies run through my body.

"Leah, you're up? Has he been here all night?" The doctor says and I hesitantly answer.

"Yes, I'm sorry. It wont happen again" I say and he nods.

"Okay. How are you feeling?" He says looking at my chart.

"My side really hurts and I have an off and on headache. But other than that, pretty good" I say and he nods.

"Yeah, thats going to be like that for some time. We can give you some pain killers but thats needs approval from your parents since its very strong" He says and I nod.

"Yeah, it's okay. I don't need anything" I say and he nods.

"Okay, let me or your nurse know if you need anything" He says and I nod, thanking him.

Mason stirs, grunting.

"Hey Mas" I say as his eyes open.

"Hey, how'd you sleep?" He asks, stretching his neck.

"Pretty good the second time" I say laughing.

"Did the doctor come in?" He asks, standing up, stretching.

"Yeah, he just checked on me and told me that theres no visitors at night. He wants me to rest" I say, Masons face falls.

"But-" He says and I shake my head, mentally slapping myself in my face for that action.

"Mason, you need to sleep. Get some nice rest tonight after your game and then you can come here in the morning. But, you should spend time with your friends" I say, his hand back in mine again.

"I can't. Someone has to be here. I helped you last night" He says and I nod.

"I know you did. But I'm okay. I've been suffering from this for years. I'll figure something out" I say kissing his cheek.

"Le-" He says as people walk into the room.

"Heyy, Leah. Ellie told us about what happened and we wanted to come check on you" Christine says walking in with Ellie and Brooks, a bear in her hand and flowers in Brooks. 

"Hey guys, I'm doing good" I say hugging them as best as I can, thanking them for the bear and flowers.

"Yeah, of course. So, what happened? How hurt are you?" Brooks says, wrapping his arm around Ellie.

"I ran a red light because of something and here I am. A couple broken ribs, arm and leg, concussion and internal bleeding. I have to stay here for the rest of break" I say rolling my eyes. My last five days of winter break are wasted on me being stupid.

"Oh my gosh. What are they going to do for it?" Christine says.

"We are going to check the bleeding and if it seems to be getting worse than possible surgery but fingers crossed that its nothing too bad. I cant afford it" I say laughing.

"Leah, if you even need help, financially, I can help you. You know that" Mason says and I nod.

"Yeah, I know. I'll be okay Mas" I smile and he gives me a nervous look.

"We are backk" Tara says, Jim in tow.

"Hey, how are you?" I say hugging her.

"I'm doing okay. How are you? Any news?" Tara says and I nod.

Mason answers for me and worry fills her face.

"Where is the bleeding?" Jim asks and I pull the blanket down, revealing the hospital gown.
