Chapter Forty Five

Chapter Song: Amour Plastique by Videoclub

Y/N's p.o.v.

"Forty two... forty three... forty four..." I stopped counting when Colby returned. Coming right back up to my side and taking hold of my hand. His rings felt cool on my hot hands.

A quite tall middle aged man with brown hair came in behind him holding a white clipboard and a folder. "Hello y/n, I am doctor Reed." He walked forward and outstretched his hand for me to shake.

"Hi" I said my voice low and panicky. "What happened... whats wrong with my leg?"

"Well Mr. Brock here told me you were on the way to his house and apparently when the EMT's got to the scene it appears a car smashed into the drivers side of your car. Bystanders say you were going through the green light and they ran though the red light hitting you. The other man is okay, although very intoxicated and will be taken to the station when he is cleared from here. As for your leg... the car door indented so hard and impacted into your leg, primarily your left knee. This resulted in what we call a distal femur fracture. Yours in particular happened to be an open fracture so when we got you in, we took you right into surgery. In the surgery we placed a special narrow rod into your femur marrow canal, to keep your knee in position. Also why your leg is in the restraints right now." He motioned down to my leg. I guess that's why Colby didn't want me to move.

"So can I walk?" I asked looking between the doctor and Colby.

"As of right now, no. I would say for the next week to keep all pressure completely off it so your stitches have time to heal a bit. We are providing you with a wheelchair. After that week we will move you to a brace and crutches, which we will also provide. This gives you more movement but we still want all the pressure off it. Now from there I would say physical therapy and very slowly easing back into being able to put full pressure on your leg. "Okay. I'm not dead so I can't complain too much but this is a lot to take in. I took a deep breath and looked down at my bruised up leg. Colby's grip on my hand tightened. "Well I will leave you two to talk about things. And Colby said you requested to get the IV out so I will bring a nurse by to do that." Aw that's cute. He remembered my fear of needles. I guess that's why he his holding the hand with the needle. To distract from the pain and make it so I couldn't see it.

I looked up at Colby and smiled. "Thank you." I said. He leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to my lips. As he pulls away the door opens and a nurse walks in, followed by Tessa.

"OH MY GOD! Y/n! You're awake." She ran around the nurse and engulfed me in a hug. The nurse came over to the side that Colby was at and Colby walked around the other side of the bed to hold my other hand. Colby told Tessa what they were doing and she backed away to let Colby be with me. The nurse put on gloves and got ready to take the needle out. Colby held my hand in his and with his free hand he held my face to look at him. I squeezed my eyes shut, ready for pain but instead it was a really weird pulling sensation. The minute the needle was out and she taped the cotton down, I started coughing. Needles always make me gag for some weird reason. Colby helped me pull my back up off the bed and he rubbed my back. Tessa went to the sink and got me a cup of water.

Sam and Brennen each came back for a bit to see me, though Colby wouldn't leave my side. I kept insuring him I was fine but he insisted. The doctor came back in and told me I could be released in the morning but they just want to keep me overnight to see how the bruising around my stitches look. Everyone that wasn't able to visit had been texting me, Tara even facetimed me. Everyone left the hospital, leaving just Colby and I. Tessa said she will bring me a bag of clothes, since they cut my other ones, to wear in the morning. A nurse came in and offered to bring Colby a bed, but he said he can squeeze on mine. After visiting hours, the doctor came in and removed my leg from the restraint but told me not to bend it. They gave me some food to keep my vitamin and iron levels up, and gave me some more pain medicine.

"I'm so tired..." I said after the doctor left.

"Yea me too." Colby replied his voice a little groggy.

"Well come here then." I patted the bed for him to come over but realized there wasn't enough room. "Uh... do you think you can help me move over a bit... and lay down more. Colby walked over to the side of the bed and pulled the sheets back. I got goosebumps from the cold... and Colby's hand on my thigh.

"I'm going to move your leg over first." He told me to take a deep breath in while he counted to three and when he said three to breathe out. I did as instructed and it relieved a bit of the pain, but moving my leg still hurt pretty bad. Then he walked up to me and placed his hands on my hips. I grabbed his arms, while he slowly lifted me up and moved me over and down a bit. He handed me the remote that controls the bed and I put it back enough to just be laying down. Colby came around the other side of the bed and climbed in next to me. Pulling the blanket up over us, Colby laid back and pulled me into his chest. His gave me a kiss goodnight, and I fell asleep immediately after.
