I don't think I've slept that well since I was a baby. The bed was so soft and comfy and I slept for ages until my phone made a buzzing noise and woke me up. Aidan told me that I had to press the red button to make it stop, so I did and the buzzing stopped. I sit myself up and carefully get out of bed. I was still sore but I felt a lot better today. I push my legs over the side of the bed and stand up, my legs ached a bit but I could hardly feel the pain in my side. I smile and try walking with the same result. I carefully change my dressing, cleaning the cut like the nurse showed me, and then put on a plain white shirt and this thing that was like the bottom half of a dress. Walking downstairs was a little painful but I managed and walked into the living room.
"Morning," I say, seeing Aidan sat on the couch. He looks up at me and his grey eyes sparkle a little as he grins.
"You're walking," he says. I nod.
"Doesn't hurt much today," I say, "Legs ache a bit,"
"Yea, you haven't been on them, they'll be stiff," he says.
"What I need to take today?" I ask.
"Oh, yea, I'll go grab them, you sit down," He says, rushing off to a different room, coming back a few minutes later with three tablets, "These two are iron and zinc, they are pretty much daily and this one is calcium," He says, handing me them and a glass of water. I stare for a second.
"I eat them?" I ask.
"Oh, okay, you have to put them in the back of your mouth and then swallow them with the water, do them one at a time if you've never swallowed a pill before," He says. I put the smallest one at the back of my mouth and drink some of the water but the thing is still there.
"Still there," I say.
"Keep trying," he says. I do it again and this time, the pill starts to melt, it tastes awful, like a mix of blood and something bitter.
"It's melting, tastes bad," I say, making a face.
"Have some more water," he says, nudging the glass. I drink a big gulp and finally, it goes down, leaving the horrible taste in my mouth. I drink more water and it goes away a bit.
"Went down," I say, sticking out my tongue to show him, "Wasn't nice," I say, making a face again, Aidan chuckles.
"Maybe we should do the applesauce method," He says, taking the other pills from me and going out of the room again, this time coming back with a little container and a spoon, "Here, you can eat this," He says, handing them to me. I take a spoonful of the weird slimy stuff and put it in my mouth. It was surprisingly very good.
"Yummy," I say, eating more until the little pot is empty.
"The tablets were crushed up in it, was that easier than swallowing it?" He asks, I nod.
"A lot better," I say, he smiles softly.
"My dads are just getting ready then we'll head out," He says, leaning over, "Can I kiss you?" He asks, I nod. He presses his lips to mine, I still wasn't quite used to kissing but I tried my best. He finally pulls away and moves closer to me, wrapping an arm around my waist and gently guiding me until I'm leaning against him.
"Warm," I mutter, I had noticed that before, Aidan was always very warm, not that I mind, it was nice.
"Want to watch some tv while we wait?" He asks.
"Never watched TV," I tell him, he nods a bit before pressing a button on a weird plastic thingy and the TV turned on. I stare at the bright colors.
"I'll show you," he says, pulling me closer.
