A Star and an Ice Dragon

A Long Talk

Bella's POV

After being discard from the hospital, Leo took me by to my apartment. Once we got there, I sat down at the couch I removed my boots, straps, and my other glove. As I did, Leo removed his shoes and jacket before walking into kitchen. Then I removed my bandages from my hand, seeing my cuts for the first time. My hand was red and puffy around my stitches.

Wow, I did a number on my hand. I wonder how many stitches are here?

"Hey, Leo!" I called out

"Yeah!" He said 

"Do you know how many stitches I got?" I asked 

Leo then came in with two glasses of water in his hands. Having a thinking look on his face.

"I don't know, I wasn't counting." He said as he sat down next to me, holding it out

I took the glass, taking a drink before placing it on the table.

"Well, the next two weeks are going to be hell for me." I said 

Leo chuckled a bit as he placed his own glass on the table.

"Yeah, breaking a glass with your bare hand was not your best idea." He said 

I sighed as I leaned back, resting my hurt hand on my lap. He also leaned back, turning towards me. 

I should tell him, he's the only one I truly trust with this info. I mean, I haven't even told my grandfather about my problems.

I then looked over at him and he tilled his head, asking me "what" without talking, which caused me to sigh again.

"Well, me hurting my hand isn't what I'm taking about being hard." I said 

Leo looked even more lost after I said that. I sighed again, but I felt a sharp pain in my hand, causing me to lock up my hand and curl forward.

"Fuck!" I yelled 

Leo quickly stood up, grabbing my meds, opening one, and taking out some pills. 

"Here's your meds. It should help." He said 

I grabbed the meds from Leo and he grabbed my glass. Then I threw the meds into my mouth before taking a drink. After a few seconds, I placed the glass back on the table before leaning back in the couch.

"That fucken hurt." I said with my eyes closed.

Leo then got up, walked away to get something and then came back to the couch, sitting down.

"Here, I got some numbing cream from the nurse before we left." He said 

I opened my eyes and saw a container of numbing cream in his hand.

"Okay, just remove your rings so it doesn't get caught on my stitches." I said

Leo nodded as removed his rings, placing them on the table, before opening the container. Then he started to apply the cream to my hand, gently rubbing it across my stitches. My hand started to go numb as the cream went on, but he did hit a sore spot, causing me to curl in pain a bit.

"Sorry!" He quickly said 

"It's fine." I said

After a few minutes, my whole hand was numb and the pain was gone.

Damn, I love meds for this reason.

I smiled as Leo put the cap back on the cream, but he didn't put his rings out.

Wired, why did he put them on?

I then curled my legs up, resting them to side as I placed my hurt hand on it. Leo then reached forward, resting his hand on my hurt hand, gently rubbing it, even though I could feel it.
