Chapter 16: Nightmare

"No!" Zella screamed as she fell off Cupid. Cupid kept on running til he was gone.
Nashua was there but he didn't help her as she lay in pain against the cold rocks.
"Help me please!" She screamed in terror.
Nashua still didn't make a move to help her, but his face showed his pained expression. He wanted to help her but something held him back.
Behind him she saw his dad. He seemed to keep him from her.
"Please," she whispered everything going dim.
"Zellie, wake up! You're having a nightmare," Nashua shook her awake, noticing she was burning up with fever.
Zella opened her eyes scared she'd be against those rocks again. She met Nashua's gaze.
His eyes looked worried.
"I'm fine," Zella said shakenly.
"You're not either sweetheart," He said catching her off guard not ready for that one.
"I had a nightmare that's all," She flinched feeling cold.
"What happened? You're burning up with fever we need to get a nurse," Nashua said pushing the red butten then told the nurse what was wrong.
"Nothing please," Zella said.
Nashua didn't ask anymore questions just stayed by her til the nurse came in with some fever medicine.
After the nurse put the fever med in the IV Zella fell back asleep finally giving in.
C~S
2 weeks passed instead of one but she finally progressed and she got stronger and the doctor decided to let her go.
As Nashua helped her stand the doctor came in to speak with her.
"I know you're excited to be going home but you need to take it easy for a while. There are some strict orders you need to obey."
"What kind?" Zella asked supporting her weight on Nashua.
"You're not to move alot, you're not to go outside unless you have to. There some side affects from the medicine you're taking and complications." Doc told her.
"What are they?" Nashua asked.
"The side affects are dizziness, fainting, and feeling extremely weak all of a sudden. And the complications are if you hit your head again it could be dangerous. You could lose your sight, mobility, or your memory, and your brain could start to bleed again," Doc said looking them straight in the eyes. He left.
The nurse rolled in a wheelchair just as Belle and Matlock came back from checking out.
As long as Nashua didn't let her go of her she was fine.
"I don't need a wheelchair, thank you," Zella told the nurse.
Nashua looked proud.
"Time to go, you two," Matlock said walking out the door.
"Coming they said. Nashua helped her walk to the elevator to the car.
Nashua helped her into the Buick.
Nashua got in the other side.
Matlock slowly drove out the parking lot.
Zella layed her head on his shoulder.
She saw Belle glance back in the back seat at them raising an eyebrow.
Zella felt Nashua's arm tense.
Nashua looked out the window quickly while she pretended to sleep.
She saw Belle glance at Matlock with a look. He looked in the rearview mirror.
Uh-Oh! They were looking suspitious now!
Zella winced in regret.
Nashua looked at her with the same look she probably wore also. He must have been watching them too.
Zella scooted all the way to the left away from Nashua. Trying to act normal she looked out the window at the mountains.
Nashua looked worried when she glanced at him.
Gravel crunched under the car's tires as they went in the driveway.
Zella sensed Belle staring at them again. Zella felt sick, not because the med or cause she felt weak at the moment only because both parents were staring at her and Nashua when they got the car.
Zella walked as fast as she could to the barn. She heard Nashua behind her.
Opening the heavy wooden doors used to be a piece of cake but now that she tried to open them they wouldn't budge but an inch. She felt like crying she was so humiliated with her self. She felt so helpless.
Nashua moved in beside her and opened it with one hand swiftly.
Zella walked over to a haybale and collapsed on it exhausted.
Nashua sat down beside her.
Zella felt timid around him at the moment. She wished he hadn't followed her in here.
Nashua fumbled with a piece of straw being quiet. Usually when he was this quiet it meant he was mad but she knew he wasn't mad because his fists weren't curled up. He was just thinking really hard.
"We're going to have to tell them," Nashua barely whispered.
"Tell them what?! We havn't even dated yet," Zella bursted out.
Nashua looked surprised at her outburst, "Well then when you get better do you want to go out?"
"Of coarse, but that's not what i mean," Zella said.
"Then what do you mean?" Nashua asked her the same question.
Zella groaned, "Well what do you mean?"
"Well, remember a few days ago we both said we loved each other?" he asked catching her eyes.
"Yes?" Zella asked.
"Well, we should tell them that," Nashua said slowly.
Zella smiled, agreeing.
