I play volleyball for my college and I recently tore my ACL.
This morning, I had surgery for my injury and Daniel has been by my side the whole time.
I slept on him on the waiting room and he held my hand while the nurse gave me anesthesia.
I slept on the car ride home and Daniel carried me inside and laid me down to sleep in our bed.
I slept for about an hour and a half before I woke up and called for Daniel.
He walked into the room and laid next to me, letting me cuddle into his side.
"How you feeling, baby?" he asked as he brushed his fingers through my hair.
"My leg hurts, I'm hungry, and I want a kiss," I whined.
"Well, I made you a grilled cheese and I can kiss you, but I'm sorry about your leg," he said.
He leaned down and kissed me softly and then left the room to get me the grilled cheese.
He sat next to me as I ate and then carried me outside so we could get some fresh air.
Daniel brought his guitar outside and sang to me for a while before we decided to go inside and get some sleep.
"Shit, I left my phone outside," I said, pushing the covers off.
"Oh, no big deal, I'll get it," Daniel replied.
"No, no, it's fine. I can get it."
"No, don't get it up. I don't want you getting hurt," he demanded.
"Daniel, seriously, I can get my phone. I have to learn to do things on my own, I can't have you carrying me everywhere," I argued.
"You literally had surgery today! If you don't rest, you won't heal," he shot back.
"But-"
"No buts, I'm getting your phone while you stay in bed and that's final," he ordered.
He left to go get my phone and I waited until he was outside to burst into tears.
I felt weak and useless, I couldn't even walk on my own. Daniel also raised his voice at me for the first time in a very very long time.
I didn't want to cry, but I couldn't help it.
I heard the door open, so I rolled over away from the door so that Daniel wouldn't see me crying.
He walked in and set my phone down on the beside table and then laid down next to me in bed.
He draped his arm over my waist, but I didn't cuddle into him like I usually do, instead I moved away from him.
"Baby?" he questioned, sounding confused.
I pulled the covers up more and stayed silent.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
I didn't respond.
He got out of bed and walked around to face me and squatted down so that we were face to face.
"Why are you crying?" he asked as he ran his fingers through my hair.
"You yelled at me," I whispered.
His face softened even more, if that was even possible, and he leaned forward to place a lingering kiss to my forehead.
"Baby, I'm just worried about you and I don't want you to get hurt. I guess I just feel the need to be protective of you. I'm sorry for yelling, I never wanted to make you cry," he explained.
I was tired, so I only nodded and pulled him into the bed.
He smiled as he wiped away my tears and then wrapped his arms around me.
"You're so tiny compared to me," he joked, poking my side.
"Hey, watch it. As soon as I'm healed, I'm gonna kick your ass," I snapped back.
"Oh, feisty, is she?"
"Shut up and go to sleep, Seavey," I said.
We drifted off to sleep and until I was healed, Daniel carried me literally everywhere.
