Day 9: Santa Falls
Laura frowned at the tree topper lying on the floor. She picked it up feeling the cold metal in her hands and stood on her tip toes to place it on top of the tree. She was too short! Laura sighed. Then laura had an idea she would jump and then place the topper as she jumped.
The first time she tried no success, the topper fell into the tree.
The second time it didn't work, Laura didn't jump high enough.
The third time however, Laura jumped and grabbed the top of the tree knocking it down on top of her. Ornaments smashed everywhere, shards of glass ramming into Laura's skin. The last thing she remembers before she blacks out is Carmilla screaming "Laura!" in a rough shaky voice thickly veiled with panic.
…
"Hey buttercup," Carmilla said not a millisecond after Laura opened her eyes. Carmilla's eyes were red rimmed, like she had been crying. "I missed you," Carmilla squeezed Laura's hand and Laura hadn't realized she'd been holding it.
Laura finally looked around the room noticing the brightness of the white in the room. Was she in the hospital?
"Yeah, you are cupcake, you scared me," Carmilla said with a blush creeping up the side of her neck.
"Oh ! No ! I ruined Christmas, we're spending it in the hospital,"
"Please, I don't care if we spent Christmas in a trashcan, I just want to be with you," Carmilla replied tilting her head and smiling sheepishly at her girlfriend.
Laura patted the side of the bed motioning for Carmilla to lay down beside her. Carmilla got up out of the chair moved the blankets and wrapped her arms around Laura pressing a light kiss to her temple.
"I can't believe you got attacked by a Christmas tree,"
