Chapter 7

Katie

I had been in the hospital for six days three of which I was asleep and another three that I was awake. Despite being confined to the bed and contently been checked on it was a good few days. After waking up and seeing Seth again it was different than the first time I met him. I never got to know him before I fell. We spent the last two days getting to know each other better. He was always there right beside me never leaving. After Emily came back with some cloths for both me and Seth we were both more comfortable. Although I did not like to see the to small shirt go he looked like it was bothering him. But even when Emily brought him cloths that actually fit him he still fidgeted in the shirt and shoes. It always seamed like his cloths were bothering him.

His friends came by one afternoon to see me they were are all carrying something. Some a flower stuffed wolfs and balloons with get well on them. I could not get it but they each were carrying a wolf of some other color. Seth even had one for me it was becoming my favorite. The one he gave to me was a sandy color that was the color of the sand on first beach. I actually got to see them and be introduced to them this time. It was nice to see so many people who did not know me be so nice. They stayed and joked and talked not with only Seth but me. Apparently I was the first one and only to fall into the tide pools and come out hurt. I got an invitation to come to a bonfire after I was better. I planed on going as long as Seth was going to be there.

Emily came by several times a day to bring Seth food and she also brought me some special treats. While Seth was out talking with Sam about things Emily and I talked about a lot of things. She told me that the guys were excited to see me better soon. We talked about Seth some she told me how he had been so worried when I passed out at Emily's house. I could not see how he could be so worried about me when he hardly knew me. But Emily told me in time I would understand. I kept getting the answer for a lot of things from not just Emily but Seth, Sam, and the other guys.

Alice, Edward, and Bella even came by and saw me as well. Alice being Alice had cloths for me of course saying she thought the sweats and t- shirts I had might not have been warm enough. Alice even brought her boy friend with her Jasper I heard her talk about him but never met him before. He looked like a shy guy compared to Alice's personality but I could tell he really cared about her. Edward, and Bella gave me flowers really pretty yellow pink and white lilies. Seth seamed really uncomftable with them there I could never figure out why though they were always nice to me. He kept a close eye on me and Alice, Edward, and Jasper. He never left me, and never let go of my hand for two long.

But what I liked most was when everyone was gone and it was just me and Seth. I didn't have the stupid IV in my arm anymore so I could move better. I still had my arm bandaged and in a splint but the pain wasn't so bad that I was sleeping all the time from pain medicine. Emily and the guys also brought movies over for us to watch. We would put them in and sit on my bed to watch them. After some convincing I got Seth to sit with me on my bed and out of that stupid chair of his.

We would just sit there watching the movies one after another every afternoon and night Emily brought over at lest four or five movies for us. He just sat there next to me holding my hand like always. Then at some point in the night I would always get cold. At first Seth was just getting more blankets or pulling the covers up higher to cover my arms. But then he surprised me after still being cold with the blankets he just let go of my hand and put his arm around me to pull me close to him. He was always nice and warm I knew this but being there next to him he always made me feel safe and warm.

Then the day came for me to go home mom was still not back yet from her trip so Seth called Sam and Emily to come pick both of us up. He was going to stay at my house and sleep on the couch till my mom got home. I called her a few days before she was not happy that I did not let her know what happened earlier but after some talking she was ok with my plans. She was ok with Seth taking care of me after she heard that he was the one that basically saved me and that he would be on the couch. After handing Seth the phone to talk to my mom she allowed everything. Never had I had to go though so much to convince her about something she trusted me but I was thinking it was Seth she did not trust yet.

Dr Cullen let me go home late that afternoon. When Sam and Emily got there we had to wait a while before he would let me go home. I had to not use my had and change the bandage twice a day till my stitches came out which was in two weeks. They put me in a stupid wheel chair to get me to the car. My arm was hurt not my legs I had been walking for days why the wheelchair was need who knows. Seth helped me get in the back set careful to not move my arm to much as I climbed into the back of Sam and Emily's car. Seth walked around to the other side and squeezed in to the back set next to me.

We drove to my house pulling up to the door everyone got out quickly. Seth ran over to help me out again Sam popped the trunk and Seth pulled out two bags one was mine the other I was assuming was his. He slung both bags over one shoulder while putting his hand on my back to guide me inside. Seth took out my keys and opened my door like it was a normal thing to do.

"So where do I put your bag."

"My room I guess I will show you." We headed up the stairs to my room Seth put my bag on the floor by my dresser. I saw all the flowers and stuffed wolfs on my bed with the balloons all over my room.

"The guys brought all this here earlier for you with Emily's help of course."

"That was nice of them. Well I guess you can put your bag here too if you want."

"Ok you sure I can keep it down stairs."

"No its fine." I winced as I moved my arm trying to get it in a comfortable position.

"Your armed is bothering you I will get you some water so you can take your medicine."

"Thanks Seth." I smiled at him as he walked out my door.

I sat on my bed picking up the wolf that Seth gave me setting it in my lap I started to pet it. Ever since I fell at the beach things have been different it was hard to tell how but I was. My room did not even feel the same it felt empty. I saw my door swing open while I was looking around Seth's smiling face came though the door.

"I was just about to call and order some pizza what kind do you want." He said as he handed me a glass of water and one of my pills.

"We don't need to call out for pizza I can cook us something."

"You don't need to do that and you only have one good arm."

"Yeah but you have two."

Two hours later our dinner was done it took twice as long as it should have but it was still good. We found a jar of pasta sauce and a box of noodles. Seth looked like he never picked up a pot in his life and I think he never did till then. He would not let me do anything not even pick up a spoon. He did everything while I stood there and talked him though it. The whole time we cooked his arm would linger around my waist as if on its own. When he realized what he did he would always move his arm away from my waist then play with my fingers of my bad arm. We managed to get it done with minimal problems Seth wanted to throw the noodles on the wall to see if the were done but I had to stop him.

Seth carried both of our plates to the table his being twice as big as mine. I knew guys had big appetites but his was huge. Seth put the plates down went and got our drinks and two forks so we could sit and eat. I sat there trying to get my fork to work in my left hand with out much luck. This happened every time I tried to eat something there was just something about my left hand and not wanting to work right. I managed to only get two forks full of noodles in my lap and on my shirt and Seth laughed at me before getting me a napkin and helping me clean up the spilled noodles. Seth finished in about five minutes he just sat there watching me struggle with eating.

"I think we should have ordered pizza." Seth as trying not to laugh to hard at me.

"I think your right I did not even think about this." I said after putting my fork down after giving up trying to eat.

"Its ok it's kinda cute."

"Thanks."

"I meant it in a good way but why don't you go change and clean up while I clean up down here. Do you want to watch a movie it's still kinda early."

"Ok I will go change and we can find something. I will let you pick."

I went up to my room and put on some sweats and a t -shirt. Not really caring Seth had seen me in far worse being in the hospital. While pulling on my t- shirt I saw I had managed to get sauce all over my bandage. I knew I could not change it myself so I picked up the brown paper bag that had the cram gauze and other things needed and headed down stars to get Seth to help me. I walked back down stairs to see Seth looking over our DVDs he must have heard me come and turned around.

"All clean and changed now."

"Yep except one thing." I held up the bag to show him.

"You need some help."

"Yeah my left hand is stupid."

He laughed and took the bag from me and took everything out and put it on the floor I sat down in front of him. "Let me see your hand and let me know if I hurt you." I put my hand in his and he took off the tape and began to up wine the gauze then the soft splint and all the way down to the gauze pads over my arm. He started to pull of the pads but saw me wince and stopped.

"You ok."

"Yeah this part just hurts a bit."

"Ok, but if it hurts stop me."

I just nodded for him to keep going. He slowly started to pull of the pads again watching my face while he did it. The first few were with minimal pain but the last one was the worst. Seth started to pull it off and it cam off fine then Seth picked the pad up and it suck to my stitches and pain shoot though my wrist. I winced held my breath and grabbed for his hand instinctively.

"Oh, my god I am so sorry are you ok."

"I am fine."

"I did not mean to do that I don't know what happened."

"Its ok really I am surprised it did not happen more. Let just get this done so we can watch a movie." Seth just started to open gauze pads and putting the cream and gauze on my arm. Then wrapped my arm back up with the splint and taped it down.

"There all good now time for our movie." He helped me up and led me to the couch and sat down with me and then turned the movie on. It was the Mummy one of my favorites Seth took my good hand and held it as the movie started. I just leaned my head on his arm wanting to be closer than I was. Not too far in the movie Seth let go of my hand and put his arm around me I leaned in closer. Before I new it I feel asleep right there watching the movie. I felt Seth pick me up and climb the stairs and then being put on my bed and then covers being pulled over me. I felt hands moving my hair out of my face and behind my ear and a kiss on my forehead. I feel asleep knowing that Seth just tucked me in and that he might just really like me.
