"Why are you here!!?"
"You said you needed help"
"Yes, but not from you I said I needed help from Lilly"
"Shut up, I've already helped you put your jammies up, what's the difference!?"
I silenced and turned back, my leg still hurting. I had to put the dressing back. That was the hardest part, unwillingly I had to hold Alex.
I decided I'll do the dressing myself today when Alex goes for his usual facetime with Anna. I felt a pang of jealousy every time I would hear them talk happily. Alex laughed talking to her, he never laughed around me.
A snap woke me up.
"What are you thinking about??"
"N..N..Nothin"
"Why do you stutter around me??"
"Do I need to tell??! You've threatened and scared me so much that I'm afraid of you"
And then I knew I shouldn't have said that.
"Oh" He said, I felt a guiltiness in his voice. And then he closed my zip and walked away.
I ran up to him and hugged him from back.
"I'm so...so...sorry" My legs gave me so much pain I could have died, but not without apologizing to him. What I said was wrong.
"It's o...DAMMIT, YOU RAN! DON'T YOU EVEN CARE ABOUT YOUR SELF A LITTLE BIT??!"
"I'm sorry"
"YOU STILL CARE ABOUT SAYING SORRY WHEN YOUR LEG COULD KILL YOU??!"
"Ummm...."
He picked me up and took me to bed.
"Now sleep, you're not getting up until I return."
I knew where he was going. Facetime with Anna. I took the opportunity and took the medical box on the nightstand beside the bed.
I took out the medication to be applied on my wound, till now, Alex hadn't allowed me to see the wound on my foot, he said I'm not ready yet. But today I was.
I brought my led closer, and gasped when I saw the wound on my foot. It was a deep wound, so deep I could get a peek of the bones underneath it. Though it had started healing.
Tears started flowing down my eyes. I took my foot away for my sight, thinking I'll ask Lilly to dress up the wound. I put the medicine on the other wound, they weren't very serious.
Just as I was put the bandage on the wound on my leg, the door opened. Alex entered the room.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!?...ARE YOU CRYING!!?"
"Dressing my wounds." I said quietly. Tears still flowing down my eyes.
"Did you look at the wound on your foot?" suddenly his voice was concerned.
"Hmm.." More tears flowed down.
"Hell....I told you you're not ready yet!."
"I am"
"The fucking hell you're not"
"I've learned to dress my wounds now. You're free"
"No, you're not dressing those wounds yourself."
"But, I ca.."
"No means no."
I silenced. Nodded my head.
Alex took me down for dinner, where we got a call from Alex's mother saying she'll visit me soon. I and Alex had to pretend like a loving couple. After that Alex took me back to his room.
Where he helped me lay down on my side. I turned my head to the opposite side when Alex lied down beside me. Suddenly a warm body came beside me and wrapped hands around me. I turned my head to find Alex.
"Alex what are yo..."
"Sleep"
I turned my head back and tried to sleep. Surprisingly, his warm body put me to sleep soon.
Next morning I woke up to find Alex still sleeping, hugging me. I did not move, it was unlike Alex, he usually woke up before anyone in the house.
