Chapter 37

It was over 24 hours since Reid came into the Hospital, and Luke was by his side almost the whole time. He was exhausted he didn't want to leave Reid's side. He fell asleep sitting on a chair by his bed when a Nurse touched his shoulder making Luke jump.

Luke was about to ask if something was wrong but he looked over, and Reid was looking at him with the one eye that wasn't swollen shut. Luke jumped up, and took Reid's hand into his, and smiled.

"You scared me Reid but your finally awake"

"My head hurts how long have I been out"?

"About a day but the Doctor said it is normal with the swelling of the head"

"Luke I won the fight didn't I"

"You don't remember"?

"I do but I thought maybe I dreamed it"

"No you won but I wish I never set that stupid fight up"

"Why I won you should be proud"

"I am proud of you but look at you, I know you are in pain"

"I'm use to pain but this is the worst I have ever felt"

The Nurse smiled, "I think he needs his rest"

"Rest I just woke up after 24 hours, and you want me to go have a nap again"

"Yes you need it to get better the Doctor will be in shortly"

Luke smiled, "Why don't you do what the Nurse says, I will be right here"

"I want to go home"

"We have to wait, and see if the Doctor thinks it would be OK"

"I hate hospitals"

The Nurse smiled, "Most people do but with your profession you will be here more often than not"

"No I don't normally let anyone get the best of me but Killer is tough"

"You fought someone named Killer what were you thinking"? The Nurse said but Luke said.

"I am his Manager, and I booked the fight but in the future, I will be more careful. Reid held his own, and Killer didn't look very pretty either"

The Nurse smiled, "Let him sleep I will be in soon to take his blood pressure, and give him some pain medicine". She walked out, Reid held Luke's hand as he said.

"You can go home, and get some rest, I can see you are exhausted"

"I'm not going anywhere beside I want to take you home as soon as I can, and take care of you"

Reid smiled, "Take care of me now that sounds like fun"

"Rest I will wake you when the Doctor comes"

"I'm hungry"

"We will see what you can eat"

"A burger would be great"

"You are to much we will ask the Doctor just rest"

"Luke"

"Yes"

"Thanks for being here for me"

"I'm not going anywhere Reid you rest, and maybe soon we can get you home, and out of this hospital". Reid smiled but he shut his eyes, and before long he was sound to sleep with Luke standing beside him still holding his hand.
