47. why are you green?

*3 hours later*

IDINAS POV

It's been three hours and nothing has changed. I'm waiting for any change in her situation more than anything else. I spoke to Joby a little while ago, it was going to take her a little longer, but I didn't mind. I mean sure it would be more comfortable to sit here in joggers than that it is in a full costume, but all my mind was focused on right now was the blonde in front of me. Her body is cover in bruises and scratches and there is a tube in her left arm. "please wake up kris" I whisper stroking my finger against her arm. For the 10th time I look over to the monitor next to me but still no change. I look up from the bed when the doctor walks in. The look on his face is not really giving me any clues. "She is waking up, it's only taking a little long than we thought it would take. Her body got a huge slap and she will have to recover from that. I heared you talking to her, keep doing that it might stimulate her brain to wake her up faster" the doctor tries to give me a reassuring smile and all I can do is nod. I sit back on the chair and grab Kristins hand. I let out a sign. "this feels wrong, talking to you when your not really here. Even though you are here, which makes it weird. Even though you're right there in front of me I miss you. There is something I need to tell you Kris, but I really need to tell you that when you're awake. I have been carrying this for way to long, and it feels so wrong. I know you're going to tell me it's not my fault, but I keep blaming myself for not telling you last night. The moment was there, but I was not ready. I'm still not ready, but you deserve to know." my voice has gone into a whisper at the end and I feel the tears burning on my skin. Eventhough most of the green is off I still have the green glow. I will have that green glow until I shower. I glare at the woman in the bed. The woman I want to spend the rest of my life with. The love of my life. And that's the moment that I break. I give in to my body and the tears stream down my face. I bury my shocking body into the sheets of the bed and whisper sweet nothings while grasping onto kristins hand. "Please Kris, I need you"

KRISTINS POV

Muffled sounds come from somewhere very close to me. When the sounds become a little more clear I can manage to recognize sobs. I try opening my eyes which is actually harder than I thought. The bright light of the room makes me want to shut them again. After a while my eyes get used to the brightness and I can open my eyes properly. A sharp pain goes through my body and I can't help but let out a groan. As soon as the groan leaves my body the sobbing I heared stopped and the person next to my bed jumps. "Kris" she whispers with the tears still streaming down her face. I look her up and down glaring at her. "Dee" I let out with a hoarse voice. "wait let me page the doctors first" she speaks pressing the red button next to my bed. Within 3 seconds a doctor and 2 nurses hurl into my room and my eyes shoot to meet Idinas. She graps my hand and give me a reassuring squeeze. The doctors are running tests and making sure everything is right before leaving the room as soon as they came in. "She has steady results, she will have to stay here a little longer for some more tests. But I'm pretty sure she can leave tomorrow morning. Under condition that she will be resting a lot at home." the doctor informs Idina and she just nods trying to take it all in. After he is done talking she turns back to me. "Why are you green?" I let out after the door closes and I see Idina smile through her tears. "I left mid show" she simply says before pressing her lips on my temple. "Why?" I ask looking at her. "Why?" she repeats arching her eyebrow. "Did you really expect me to finish my show knowing that you are in the hospital?" she whispers and I know for a fact that hurt her a little. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that" I whisper stroking her hand with my thumb. "Will you lay with me?" I add with a little hesistation. "I'm still green though" she gives me a little smile. "Nothing I haven't seen before" I breathe out. She smiles and slides next to me in the bed. I try to shift myself, but let out a sharp groan as soon as I move to much. Idina immediatly goes into protective mode and I give her a small smile. "please hold me" I whisper wanting nothing more than her closeness. She gently wraps her arms around me and kisses the top of my head. "How long have you been sitting here?" I ask after a while. "About 3 hours" she simply replies. "In costume?" I say making a sudden movement causing my whole body to ache so I again let out a groan. She quickly sits up making sure that I'm alright. "I'm okay" I whisper. "Yes I've been waiting for Joby, there were some issues in the theatre. I really tried to get as much green off as I could without a shower" she chuckles while her hands are rested on my thigh. "Do you remember something about the accident?" I look up to idina who hasn't stopped stroking my hair. "I remember driving the headroad and then waiting for a traffic light very long. Which irritated me very much, bc it made me late. Which brings me to does the theatre know that I'm uhm here?" Idina just nods. "Okay, uhm well after the light jumped to green I drove off and after that I don't remember anything." I let out. "Do you know what happened?" I ask Idina looking into her green eyes. "I do" she simply says. "Do you want me to tell it in detail?" she asks and I know in fact that she wants to protect me. "Yes please" I whisper. She straightens herself a little before speaking. "Well you indeed came from the headroad. When you drove off you got hit from the left side by another car. The driver of the car was under the influence of alcohol. He was not pie-eyes, but he indeed had a lot of alcohol. He slowed down before he hit your car. That's probably why you're still alive. The car flipped 2 times launching you against the rail of the road. Apperantly you were conscious when the workers came, bc you kept saying my name and the name of the Gershwin. They called me 2 times and eventually called the theatre. They asked for me but ofcourse I was in the show. So they talked to Eden, because I wasn't there" she whispers the last words. "Dee you know you can't do anything about that, right?" I wipe away a lost tear on her cheek. "I know, but I just wish I was" she lets out. We talk about it for a little bit more until I let out a yawn. Idina smiles and shifts herself a little. "You should get some sleep, your body needs it" she whispers while evenly stroking my hair. I just nod while trying to keep my eyes open. "Just sleep Kris, I'm here" and with that comfirmation I drift off in a sleep.

*next day*

The sharp pain that shoots through my body causes me to let out a yelp. Fast footsteps sound through the apartment and withing a few seconds Idina is standing in the doorway. "Are you okay?" she says scanning my in the bed. "Yes, I'm good. I'm just bored of this bed" I scoff causing Idina to shoot me a reasssuring smile "I know you are honey, but it's for the better. I'm almost done with my emails and then I'll be right back in bed with you. Do you need any painmeds?" she speaks and I shake my head. "I'll be right back" she smiles and then walks away. It's been half a day since they fired me from the hospital and since the pain was a little worse than they expected they put me on bed rest. What did they expect? Having no pain at all after having a caraccident.. Dee has been a rock though, she already brought me 3 rounds of food and it hasn't even been 5 hours. I forced her to go and do some work because otherwise she would be stuck with me in bed for the whole day and I know in fact that it would stress her out. I try to settle myself in a position that doesn't hurt that bad and I take the book from my nightstand. Let's try and read some.

After a while Idina shows up into the doorframe again. She is carrying a tray with tea and cookies and she puts it on her nightstand before climbing into bed. As she is settled I slowly move myself over so I can sit in her arms and then she hands me the cup of tea. I willingly take the cup sitting there in silence, but not an uncomfortable one. Just cuddling together and slowly sipping the tea while stuffing ourselfs with cookies. "Kris?" Idina is the one to break the silence. "hmm?" I respond putting my finished cup on the bedside table. She shifts herself into a different position and I can feel her muscles tense in the body under me.. She is fiddling her fingers and I can see she is getting anxious. I lift her chin making her green eyes meet mine. "What is it dee?" I let out while brushing my finger against her cheek. "I need to tell you something"
