Chapter 5: Loor's Well-being
Loor opened her eyes. She was in a weird room. The walls were a mint green color and the woman in there had a weird uniform that looked like a napkin. She felt something move in her hand and looked down. Bobby was asleep with his head on her stomach and his hand in her's. She was laying on a bed and he was sitting in a chair next to her. "Bobby?" Loor askied.
Bobby opened his eyes. "Loor!" He sat up straight and hugged her gently. "What is going on?" She asked. "Well, while we were fighting the quigs you got bit. I brought you to the hospital to get it patched up. Do you feel any better?" Bobby said. Loor sat up slowly and rubbed the back of her head. "I am not really sure. " She said. She looked down to see her leg was wrapped in white gauze and bloody. "Yuck!" she said. Bobby nodded. "Yeah. I am really freaked out by blood but I stayed in here when they but the cast on." He said.
Loor smiled. "Thank you. How long do I have to stay here?" She asked. Bobby looked around. "How ever long you want." He said. Loor smiled. "I want to leave now." She said. Bobby smiled. "Okay. But I am going to carry you. There is no way I am letting you walk on that leg." He said. Loor sighed. "If you want to." She said. Bobby nodded and stood up. He slid a arm carefully under her knees and the other on her back.
"Hold on." Bobby said. Loor nodded. "Okay." She said quietly. Bobby picked her up and she yelled in pain. "What wrong?" He asked getting ready to sit her down. "It is nothing. Don't put me down." She said. Bobby nodded. "Come on. I am taking you to my house. You need rest." He said caringly. Loor nodded. He carried her out of the hospital and down the road to his house.
"Are you guys okay?" Spader asked when Bobby walked in. Bobby ignored him on the couch and walked up the stairs. "Here. Now, get some rest. I will bring breakfast in the morning." He said while laying Loor on a bed in the guest room. Loor nodded. Bobby turned to leave the room. "Bobby, wait." Loor said. Bobby turned back around to see Loor crying.
Bobby walked over and sat next to Loor on the bed. "What is it?" He asked. "Don't leave me." She whispered and hugged him. "Okay, okay. I won't. I promise." He said while hugging her back. Loor burst out crying into his shoulder. "Man, Loor. I didn't think you would ever get this emotional. What is going on?" Bobby asked. Loor squeezed his arm.
"I am scared." She whispered. Bobby nodded. "I know. I am too. What do you want me to do?" He asked. Loor looked up at him. "I want you to be there with me. Every step of the way. Promise?" She asked. Bobby nodded and put his hand on the back of her head. "Of course. Come on. Get some rest. Good night." He kissed her forehead and stood up. Loor watched him leave room.
"Loor. I have breakfast for you." Bobby said thhrough the door. Loor sat up. "Come in." She said quietly while covering up her leg with the blanket. The door slowly opened and Bobby walked in with a plate in his hand. He sat it down on the table next to the bed and sat next to Loor. "Hey. You feeling okay?" He asked. Loor nodded and put her hands in her lap.
"Yeah. I am fine. Do you want to do something today?" She asked. Bobby nodded and grabbed her hand. "What would you like to do?" He asked. "I want to go to the park again." Loor said. Bobby nodded. "That would be okay. Eat up and I will come and get you after I eat, okay?" Loor nodded. Bobby stood up and left the room again.
Loor sighed and pulled the blanket back. Her leg was bleeding real bad. Now, I am not a rocket scientist, but, I think she is hiding that from Bobby. Loor slid off the bed and tried to stand. "Whoa!" She fell and landed on her butt. "That hurt." She said. She climbed back on to the bed and sighed. "BOBBY!" She called. A few seconds passed and Bobby came in. "What is it?" He asked.
Loor pointed to her leg. Bobby sighed. "Don't worry about it. You just need new bandages. Hold still." He walked over to the dresser and pulled a roll of gauze out of the drawer and took it over to her. He pulled off her old bandages and put the new ones on. "There. Is that better?" He asked. Loor nodded. "Thank you. May I come downstairs with you?" She asked. Bobby nodded. He helped her into the kitchen where Aja and Spader were eating.
"Hobey-ho Loor! Feel any better?" Spader asked. Loor nodded. She sat down across from Aja and Bobby sat next to her. "Loor and I are going to the park today." Bobby said to start conversation. Loor smiled. "Aja, did you and Spader have a good night?" She asked. Aja blushed and nodded. "Yes. Spader took me to Cloral for sniggers. They were delicious." She said.
Spader avoided Bobby's eyes. "What happened to Mark?" Loor asked, not bringing up Courtney. "He went home after telling Courtney to calm down." Spader laughed. Aja nodded in agreement.
Bobby and Loor finished breakfast and left the house. "Are you sure you don't want me to help you?" Bobby asked while seeing Loor limping. Loor nodded. "I am fine. I need to gain stength." She said strongly. "You won't get strong by wearing yourself out." Bobby reasoned. Loor winced. "I need to keep going." She said. Bobby stopped walking and grabbed her wrists.
"Stop hurting yourself. I hate that you are straining yourself. You don't always have to be a warrior." Bobby said. Loor sighed. "You always did think better of me than I did." She said. Bobby nodded. "You need to stop that. Let me carry you." He said. Loor nodded. "Okay. If you think that is good for me." She said. "It is." Bobby replied and picked her up.
Bobby sat down with Loor in his lap on a bench deep in the trees. Loor smiled at him and closed her eyes. "Bobby..." She began. Bobby looked at her. "Protect me." She pleaded. Bobby nodded. "I will." Loor passed out.
