Chapter 36

Letty's POV

I tiptoed back into the apartment quietly closing the door behind me. I took my shoes off and padded softly down the hallway glad to see Matthew still asleep. The sun was already beginning to rise and I hadn't even slept yet. I pulled off my sweater and slipped gently into bed next to him and closed my eyes. Two hours later Matthew's alarm went off at 6:30. I slowly opened my eyes, exhausted. Matthew was already in the bathroom so I sat up and reached over to shut the alarm off. I grabbed a pillow and scrunched it up and laid back down. A moment later something hit me and I groaned. Matt had thrown a pillow at me.

"Wake up Letty,"

I opened up my eyes and looked at Matthew. He was standing at the end of the bed buttoning up his shirt.

"I think I'm going to take one more day off. I still have a few more errands to run and I have to make a doctor's appointment." I managed to croak out.

"Are you feeling ok?" he asked looking worried.

"Yah, I just didn't have a very good sleep,"

"Ok. I have to head out now." He said leaning over and kissing me.

He headed out of the bedroom and called over his shoulder,

"Would you mind picking Max up from the kennel?"

"Yep," I yelled back.

"Love you!" he yelled before heading out the door.

I pulled the blanket over my head and fell back asleep. A few hours later I woke up and rolled out of bed and went about my morning duties and then pulled on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. Although fall it was still hot in LA. I went out into the living room with my phone and began making some calls. The first was to my doctor to make an appointment and the second was to Max's kennel asking what time I should pick him up. Finally, I let Camilla know I would be in tomorrow and not today. I sighed knowing what I had to do next. I stepped off the couch and grabbed my bag and headed out the door. Fifteen minutes later I arrived at Dom's house. I tapped on the door and then walked in.

"Harry?" I yelled.

"Up here!" came the response.

I walked up the stairs and into Dom's bedroom.

"Hey I'm just here to check on the wound," I said as I entered.

"Go ahead," Harry said moving out of the way.

"Hey Letty," Dom croaked from the bed.

"Hi Dom," I said," I'm here to check on your wound. Did Harry tell you I was here last night?"

"Yah."

"Ok well I'm going to go get something from downstairs. Harry can you help me?" I asked heading out the bedroom.

Harry followed me outside into the hallway and I closed the door.

"How are the pills going?" I asked quietly.

"He was restless through the night but I don't know if it was from not having his pills or from the injury." Harry replied.

"Ok well I need to change the bandage so can you grab the gauze and rubbing alcohol." I said as I headed back into the bedroom.

I sat down next to the bed.

"Dom, I'm going to change the bandage so I'm going to lift the blanket."

I pulled the blanket down and lifted his shirt.

"So you've been good Letty?" Dom said.

"I've been good. Living the married life." I said as I pulled the bandage off to reveal the stitches.

Harry came back into the room and placed the items on the nightstand.

"Could you grab a wet washcloth for me?" I asked Harry. He nodded and slipped out of the room.

"So how long are you going to be in town for?" I asked.

"Awhile," came Dom's response.

"Will Elaina be coming down?" I asked.

"No. Things didn't work out between us after all."

"I'm sorry to hear that."

"It's fine," he said quietly.

Harry came back in and handed me the cloth. I took it and dabbed the wound gently. Then I grabbed the gauze and the rubbing alcohol. I took one sheet of gauze and doused it in rubbing alcohol. I placed the sheet on top of the stitches. Then taking the three or four more sheets I covered the first one. I could feel Dom's body tensing up. Then I grabbed the tape and taped all over. I lowered his shirt and then pulled the blanket over him.

"All done," I said giving a small smile.

"Thank you Letty. It means a lot to me,"

"No problem but I should be heading out now." I said standing up." I'll come over again in a couple days."

I headed out of the room and Harry followed me out closing the door once again.

"How did you learn to do that Letty? I watched you knew what you were doing. Those stitches looked professional." Harry asked.

I lifted up my arm.

"You this scar on my wrist? 9th grade. My mom's drunk boyfriend threw a glass bottle at me. I stitched it up myself."

I lowered my top to show my collarbone.

"Car accident when I was 16,"

I lowered my shorts to show my hip.

"I cut my hip on a piece of coral at night…."

"Okay. I get it Letty." Harry said smiling.

"Okay I have to go now. See you in a few days."

"Bye Letty."

I headed downstairs and outside.

~2 hours later~

I opened the apartment door and let Max off of his leash so he could go into the apartment. I walked into the kitchen. I grabbed the phone off of the counter and dialed the doctor's office.

"Hi I'd like to make an appointment with Dr. Smith as soon as a spot is open."

"We have a spot for tomorrow afternoon at 4:30."

"Great," I said.

Sorry guys! Been having a hard time recently. But please please review!
