Connection

Chapter 10

Luke's P. O. V

We were driving home in alana's car she had a really nice car it looked like a Porsche 911 turbo.  “Sick car” I said breaking the silence. “Uhh thanks” she replied looking a bit awkward.  “So…” I spoke trying to keep the conversation going. Bathe just stared at me plugging her phone in to an aux cord connected to her radio. The first song she played was  ‘Nirvana, smells like teen spirit’ I would dance around in the seat singing alone but I was in to much pain to even move a muscle I'm surprised that I could even get in to the car.

-

We arrived at her house after a 20 minuted drive, it actually takes ages to drive to school and back to Alana's. Alana helped out of the car supporting me walking inside her house before laying me down she said demmanded me to take my shirt off to make it easier to get to my bruises on my stomach, it hurt just to even lift my arms, once my shirt was off she layed me down on the couch causing me to wince when she pulled her arm out from under me. She left the room obviously ging to get stuff to help me. I didnt think that Ashton could hurt someone so bad especially me. I didnt expect for any of this to happen. After 10 minutes Alana came back with her arms full of ibuprofen, a cloth, healing cream, cotton balls, an ice pack and a big bag of peas following with a glass of water in her hand with a pink straw coming out the side with glass. She looked like she was struggling to keep hold of everything. I felt sorta special that she was going through the effort just to help me especially after i beat up her best friend. 

The dropped everything onto her coffee table then placing the glass of water gently. "Shit i forgot something ill be back in a giffy" Alana muttered. I just nodded back it hurt my stomach to much to talk. 

She walked back into the room with a bandaid and piecing spray, she then came sat next to me touching my lip around my piercing. "Woah what the hell are you doing?!" I exclaimed feeling extra pain. "I-Im sorry but i have to take your lip piercing out unless y-you want it to get infected" she stammered. I let out a large sigh and shook my head giving her approval to take it out. I felt her touching my lip, i clenched my eyes tightly together trying to take my mind off of the pain i was feeling. My lips soon felt bare since i had no lip piercing. Alana picked up the spray and sprayed it on my lips, i felt it seep into my mouth leaving a foul taste in my mouth i tried spitting it out of my mouth but that didnt really help. "Hopefully this will help your lip from getting infected, okay" she spoke awkwardly. I didnt really pay attendion since i was just focused on what she was gonna do next. She started to clean my cuts on my face with a soft cloth and some water, i felt my cuts stinging it felt like oins being stabbed into my cuts making the cut 10 times deeper.

She picked up the healing cream putting a little dolop of it on her finger, she then applied it to my eyebrown and my nose. My nose felt really swollen but he did punch my really hard in the nose but i cant tell that its not broken. It felt nice when she applied the cream around my wounds she looked a little bit frightened to put it over the top of my wounds, it felt nice because it was nice and cold on my skin creating a soothing feel on my cuts. She a cotton ball cleaning up the cream that wasnt near my wounds. She grabbed on of her brother bandaids they were the banndaids with the smiley faces on them and it sorta made me laugh even though it hurt so much. She only placed a bandaid on my eyebrow. She gave me a ice pack to place on my nose to help stop the swelling. "Im hungry, can i have something to eat?" i asked Alana, "Uh ill see but can you even eat?" she replied with a confused face. "One way to find out..." I replied. 

She came back with a fresh nutella sandwhich which made sense cause the bread was soft. I took one bite into it it sorta hurt my jaw chewing but it wasnt that bad, well it was bareable once i felt it was all soft and mushy in my mouth i attempted to swallow my small mouth ful of bread. I didnt think it would hurt so much! i felt my face screw up into a painful expression the pain was excruciating. Alana gave my a concerned look. "Aw Lulu" she said with such worry. "Yes Anala" i replied knowing what she was gonna say. "You cant eat can you?" I felt a tear escape, "no" honestly i dont think ive felt so much pain in my life. I know that this is gonna take a while for me to be all good. "Its okay, maybe just have a drink" Alana responded passing me the glass of water. I took a sip feeling it ooze down my throat leaving a cold trail all through my mouth. It was really refreshing i could only drink through i straw though so i dorta felt like i was being treated like a little kid. I only got little sips at a time so it would hurt as much. I ended up finishing all of my drink once it was finished I placed the glass down at the tabel beside her couch.

After a while Alana grabbed the bag of peas settling it on my stomach on my one massive bruise. As the packet touched my stomach i cringed from the coldness being so cold and the pressure tht=at was put on top of my bruise. My nose started to feel numb and tingly at the same time. The tingle in my nose caused me to sneeze leaving my body suffereing, tortured almost. Even a little sneeze hurt so much. I felt more and more tears fall.

Alana gave me a look of pitty, i absolutely hate pitty its bullshit. "Dont look at me like that Alana" I mumbled trying to get my words out. She looked down at her hands findling with her fingers. She lifted herself up grabbing my empty glass, a few seconds later she walked back into the room with s full glass of water again, she reached for the ibuprofen popping out 2 tablets have this it'll help with the pain" she placed the tablets into my hand also giving me my glass of water. I quickly checked the tablets onto my tongue pouring a massive mouthful of water down my throat not bothering to drink through the straw. As i swallowed the water it felt like it was going so slowly almost like it was trying to hurt me which it did a little. "Argh" I mumbled under my breathe. 

Alana's parents arrived home seeing me laying on the couch fulling bulked up with bandaids ice packs and everything else. "Uh well. Hello?" Mrs.Cardona said looking at me with a confussed expression appearing on her face then she quickly glared her husband (Mr.Cardona).  Alana rushing towards her parents shoving them into their room.

After a few minutes i felt less pain in my stomach, i still felt a large amount of pain in my face around my lip, nose and eyebrow. After 2 hours the pain started to kick in again. Alana was still in her parents room explaining everything to her Mum and Dad. Her parents seemed nice and kindly let me stay and let us take a few days off school. Alana seemed to be such a caring person and I cant believe she went through so much effort to just take care of me. Kelly didnt really seem to care this much about me, argh great now i got myself thinking about Kelly she is the last thing i want to think about. I miss her som much and its only been around 24 hours whats wrong with me am i not good enough for her? I love her but she clearly didnt love me i actually thought we had a connection but clearly not. 

"You are allowed to stay until your better" Alana said barging into the room breaking me from my thoughts, which was good. "Okay and thank you so much Alana." I felt my eyes getting heavy i was so tired i had such a long and painful day i think sleep would be good right about now.

"Ha what are... friends for" she hesitated while saying 'friends' she then rubbing the back of her next turning without lifting her feet off the ground she walked to the kitchen. She was back in the lounge after a few seconds plopping herself on the smaller couch next to mine turning the television on. I couldnt help myself but to fall asleep i culled into a comfortable position slowly to try not feel any more pain. I ended up falling asleep with my arms crossed and my legs spread apart takign up the whole couch leaving all the ice packs on my body.
