I wake up, my head pounding and my jaw hurting. I hear voices. "How is he doing Luke?", I hear a feminine voice say. I recognize that voice. It's... mom... "I don't know Kathy. The doctor hasn't come in yet. I think that they are waiting for Alex to wake up.", I hear a male voice say, but I automatically recognize it as Luke. I open my eyes fully but wince when the blinding light makes my head pound even more. They look my way, hearing me wince.
"Alex, your awake!", Luke says running over to me and hugging me, making sure to be careful. I then see him stop and move aside. My mom walks up to me and says, "Alex, how are you feeling?".
"Well, my head is pounding and my chest area hurts, and it's a little hard to breathe, and my jaw hurts. What happened?".
"Well,", I hear a male voice say, "that's what I'm here to tell you." I look over at the door to my room and see a Brown-haired man with light grays, and green eyes. He is in a lab coat with a sky blue dress shirt and a black tie, with black dress pants and shoes to match.
"Who are you?", I ask
"I'm Doctor White. It's good to see that you've finally awakened.".
"How long was I out for?", I ask
"You were out for a day and a half Alex.", I look over at Luke when he said that, my eyes go wide. "A day and a half?! I missed school! Oh crap!". My mother puts her hand on my shoulder and says, "Don't worry Alex. I called the school and let them know that you were in the hospital.". I nod.
"So,", Doctor White says, "Would you like to know how your body is doing?". I nod.
"Well you have 4 broken ribs, that are pressing against your lungs making it hard to breathe, and you have a fractured jaw, so I suggest that you don't talk a lot and eat soft foods like soup.".
I nod, once again, and say, "when can I go home?".
"You can go home after you fill out some paperwork. I'm also going to prescribe you some pain medication. I'll be back in a minute.". He walks out and I look at mother and the guy that's so special to me.
"So, have you heard from Nikki yet?". My mother shakes her head no. I look at Luke and he shakes his head. I sigh and let my head hang down.
"Alright!", Doctor White walks in and says, " You can go home now Alex. Remember what I said, Alex." He pointed his index finger at me. I nodded, then he left the room. I swing my legs off the bed and get off.
"Well, I'll leave the room so you can get dressed. Luke will stay here and help you get dressed." Luke and I nod. My mom closes the door. Luke walks over to the door and locks it.
I turn around, facing the opposite of Luke and take off the hospital gown I had on.
"Need help?", Luke asks. I turn around and become an inch away from touching Luke's lips with mine. I wanted to feel his lips on mine so, so bad.
"Um..... Do you uh.... want me.... to.... turn around?", he says with red cheeks while his eyes trail down my body. Once his eyes go back up, we make eye contact. I snap out of it and say, "If you want." He nods and quickly turns around. I look at his ears and see they are bright red. I chuckle and walk to the chair where my clothes were sat.
They brought me a black V-neck T-shirt with blue jeans that are kinda skinny, and black socks with my black and blue Jordan's. I slipped the jeans on and picked up my shirt. I put my head in it and lifted my arms to put my arms through, but was stung with a sharp pain coming from my ribs, I winced.
I guess Luke heard it because next thing I knew, he was in front of me; cupping my cheeks as he said, "Ate you okay?! What hurts?!".
I chucked, my pain clear in the laugh, and said, "I'm fine. No need to worry Lu.".
I looked in his eyes and I saw that they hardened. He then looks in mine and said, "Your not. I can tell in your eyes. Now, tell me what hurts.".
I sigh and say, "Fine. My ribs hurt when I was trying to put my shirt on, that's all.".
He let go of my face and said, "Need help?".
"How will you help me?", I say raising an eyebrow.
"Just sit on your bed and you'll see.", he said with a smile.
I once again raise an eyebrow at his statement and smirk as I say, "Oh?".
He tilts his head, trying to figure out what I said, meant. A minute later his eyes go wide and he starts to blush. He covers his eyes with his hands and says, "N-not like that!! You dirty-minded person!".
I chuckle again and walk to the bed. I plop down on the hospital bed and lean back on my hands. Once I get comfortable, I speak up and say, "So, how are you going to help me get this shirt on?".
He smiles and walks over here and says, "Arms our like a T."
I do as he says and he takes the shirt off of my neck. He puts it through my right arm, put the shirt back around my neck, then somehow got the other part to go to my other arm.
"Your so smart.", I say grinning at him, "I would've never thought of that.".
He giggles and replies, "I call it "TT. It stands for 'T trick'."
I smile up at him and stand to go get my Jordan's and my socks. I sit back in the bed and painfully put it on. Luke asked if I wanted help a couple of times, but I declined knowing I'd have to get used to the pain somehow. After I finish putting my shoes on, my mom knocks on the door and say, "Am I clear to come in? I'm not going to walk in on y'all doing the dirty am I?". Luke's eyes go wide and he blushes. He covers his face with his hands and whimpers in embarrassment.
I chuckle and whisper to Luke, "Cone here.". I wrap my arms around his waist and pull him it into my lap. I then yell to my mom and say, "Your good mom.".
She opens the door and says, "Hehe..". She looks at me and Luke and smirks and says, "Watcha hiding there?". I raise an eyebrow in confusion and say, "Watcha mean?". She puts her hands on her hips and is still smirking. It takes me a minute to realize what she meant and I feel my cheeks start to turn red.
"M-Mom!!", I stutter, "I'm not hiding a boner! I just want him in my lap! GEEZ!" I hid my face in the crook of Luke's neck, since he has his back toward me, to hide my embarrassment. I hear my mom giggle and I groan.
Wait...", I hear Luke say, "Where is the food?". I pick my head up to look around for food and frown when I don't see any. "Oh,", my mom says, "They didn't have any good food it was either oatmeal or soggy hotdogs and hamburgers.". We all scrunch our faces up in disgust and shiver.
A few minutes later the doctor comes in and tells me that I'm discharged since mom signed the papers while she was out. We get my stuff and walk out to the car. I sit in the back with Luke.
A few minutes later we arrive home. I see a blue Truck in the driveway. Mom and I share a look, knowing who it is.
Please let it not be who I think it is. PLEASE! I don't want to see them right now, I think to myself. I sigh and walk up to the door. "Here goes nothing.", I mutter under my breath. With Luke's hand in mine, I get my keys out, unlock the door, and push it open.
