I Got You. |A Norminah fic|

Chapter 22

⚠️Trigger Warning

~DINAH JANE~
Everything hurts. If it didn't hurt then It was numb. I groaned  attempting to open my eyes before squeezing them back tightly. I took a final deep breath and opened my eyes hesitantly. I took in my surroundings before immediately becoming panicked. A hospital? I couldn't be here. I couldn't afford to be here. I attempted to get off the uncomfortable bed but was stopped by a sudden spike of pain rushing through my entire body. Everything hurts.

Tears welled up in my eyes as I laid back down once more ,unable to make it very far. I cautiously removed the mask from over my face to get a better look at everything in the room. Upon looking to the side of me I was startled to find a mass of dark hair on the edge of the bed.

I tapped the figure once with my IV filled arm once. Nothing. I tapped a little more harsher than before and the figure jumped up startled. Normani? What was Normani doing here? Hell, what was I doing here? The brunette looked around the room before her brown eyes settled on me.

'Dinah?' Normani mumbled out.

I nodded letting the darker girl know that it was indeed me. Normani sprung from the wooden chair startling me slightly before rushing out the room. I was even more confused by the celebrity's actions but I stayed still nonetheless, like I had any choice.

I was busy examining the cast on my leg when Normani came back into the room with a male in a lab coat and a nurse following behind her. I used whatever strength I had left to sit myself up slightly on the elevated bed.

'Woah there Ms.Hansen, take it easy' The doctor recommended.

I nodded before the man hesitantly came over to the bed. 'So this is nurse Henson and I'm Dr. Washington. Nurse Henson is gonna check out your vitals and make sure everything is going good, okay?'

I nodded at the dark man once more while the nurse moved around the bed checking monitors and such.

'How are you feeling this afternoon?' The doctor asked with a clipboard and pen in his hands.

Like I got hit by a bus. 'I'm in pain.' I answered simply.

I searched around the room for Normani only to find her in the corner quietly. She seemed off, uneasy but I couldn't dwell on it now.

'So the police will be in here shortly to get a statement but if that's too soon we can definitely push it back. This is on your own time, no pressure. There will be quite a few people running in and out of here just to check on everything and get some information so please don't be startled. We're going to-'

'I'm sorry but when can I leave?'

'Ma'am I don't think you understand the gravity of your injuries. A stab wound, punctured lung, a broken leg, rib, and you have a concussion. I know the hospital isn't the funnest place to be but you will be here for a while Ms.Hansen.' The doctor replied softly.

I nodded half heartedly with my head down slightly. 'Someone will be back in shortly to change your bandages, get you some food, and some medicine for the pain.' Washington promised before him and the nurse were out the room just as quick as they came.

'Mani' I mumbled hesitantly once the others had left.

Normani didn't reply but simply came over slowly and stood next to the bed.

'N-Normani' I tried once more looking in the brunettes face while she held her head down.

I began to harshly cough after her name left my mouth. Normani held a straw up to my lips from the styrofoam cup and I greedily sucked down the liquids while she held the cup of water for me.
