Author's Note: I write at really random intervals, so I apologize if you get three chapters in one day then nothing for a week. Sorry this is so short. I just couldn't leave you all thinking I killed her and what not.
~Thanks for your glorious reviews!~
My chest hurt, and that was the only thing I could feel. Every breath was labored and agonizing. I opened my eyes and let my head fall to my right. I could tell I was in a hospital, but I don't remember why. There was a nurse call button a few inches from my hand. As I reached for it the pain in my stomach blossomed. I bit my lip to keep from crying out, as I managed to hit the button. A stout nurse came in with a tray with a syringe on it.
"Good morning sunshine, it's good to see you awake." Her voice was barely above a whisper. "I think it's time for some more pain medication, don't you hun?"
I could only nod my agreement. She slipped the needle into the IV drip and left the room. I could feel the pain killers kicking in and the pain slowly fading away. My eye lids were growing heavy, but I refused to give back in to the darkness. I turned my head to examine the rest of the room to find the chair next to my bed occupied. It was Auggie. He was fast asleep, and his head was resting on his folded arms on the edge of my bed. I felt a slow smile spread across my face. He had stayed with me. He could be at home in his comfy bed, but here he was hunched over. His brows were furrowed once more. I guess his dreams must not be very good. I let my fingers run through his hair and murmured soothing words until his brow relaxed and he went back to his peaceful sleep. I let my hand just rest there, locked in his hair. I was afraid if I did he wouldn't be there when I next woke up, and I could feel the drugs taking over. I wanted to watch him sleep soundly forever, but I wasn't going to get my wish as unconsciousness took me away.
