Please forgive me if all the medical stuff isn't exactly how it should be. I'm not a nurse and I don't really have any interest in being one. :P Enjoy!
I woke up the next morning with a pounding headache. I guess I had started crying in my sleep last night without even realizing it because my face was slightly wet.
I sat up and looked over at Logan's sleeping form. He looked so perfect.
I didn't want to bother him, so I got up and headed to the bathroom to take a shower.
My reflection in the mirror screamed horrible things. My eyes were a pink color, along with some black makeup around the bottom of my eyes. My nose was purple with bruises and I had a swollen lip.
I stepped in the big shower and let the hot water pour all over my body. My nose was a little sore, but I was sure it wasn't broken.
When I was done, I got out and wrapped a towel around me.
I walked out into my room and noticed Logan sitting up in bed playing on his phone. He saw me walk in and smiled.
"Hey baby. How you feeling?" He asked.
I simply nodded my head, "All right, I guess."
He patted the spot next to him on the bed and I sat down.
"You were crying in your sleep last night." He said.
I sighed, "You heard it?"
He nodded, "Yeah. I wanted to make you stop but I just let you be. I didn't wanna make it worse."
I laid my wet head on his shoulder, which made him shutter.
I giggled at him and closed my eyes and listened to the sound of his breathing. A few minutes later, there was a knock at the door and my mom's head popped in.
"Hey, you two." She greeted us.
I opened my eyes and looked at her while Logan smiled, "Morning."
My mom walked over to the bed and sat down. She observed my face.
"Honey, your nose looks awful."
I rolled my eyes. "Thanks, mom. Boost my self confidence, why don't ya?"
Logan chuckled, "What do you need that for? You're already dating the hottest man in the world."
Both my mother and I rolled our eyes. "Whatever." We both mumbled.
"Anyways, I'm sorry about last night. Should we press charges?"
I lifted my head up and my mouth hung open. "Are you nuts? I don't want this to go any furthur. She just punched me a few times. Nothing to worry about."
Logan softly turned my face towards him, "I don't know, babe. I think you should get your nose checked out."
My mom nodded in agreement. "Yeah, you should go down to the hospital and see what they say."
I huffed, "You guys DO remember that I'm a nurse, right? I think I would know if my nose was broken."
I reached up and grabbed my nose a bit too roughly and tried to twist it. A loud crack echoed through the room, followed by my squealing of pain.
Logan and mom both looked at me in worry. I finally sighed in defeat.
"Fine. Let's go to the hospital."
We all got up and began to get ready. The three of us decided to go while Kyle and my dad stayed home.
We drove to the hospital and my mother insisted on going to the ER. She's such the worrier.
Eventually, we got in to one of the doctors and they took x-rays of my nose. The three of us waited patiently in the hospital room for the doctor to return with the results.
A tall, slender man who looked about his mid 40's walked into the room and looked at me.
"Well, Ms. Holloway, it's definitely broken. I'm surprised you didn't come in earlier being as you are a nurse."
I rolled my eyes, "Yeah, I thought it would be fine, but I guess not. So, are we gonna have to move it back into place?"
"Yes, I'm gonna put the bone back into place then bandage it up so it won't become permanently bent."
He readied his hands and looked at me, "You might wanna hold onto something. This is going to hurt a bit."
I signaled Logan to come closer to me and he followed instructions. I grabbed onto his hand tightly and waited for the doctor to place his hands on both sides of my nose.
"Ready?" He asked.
I took a deep breath and nodded. I knew it was going to hurt, so I squeezed Logan's hand even more and clenched my eyes shut.
Loud crunches and my squealing in pain shot through the air as the doctor bent the bones back into their proper spots.
Tears welled up in my eyes from the pain, but as soon as it started, it was over.
"Well, you did better than most." The doctor said.
I opened my eyes and sort of chuckled.
I guess I didn't need splints because he immediately began to put bandages on my nose.
When he was finished, he took my mother out to the front desk and talked to her about the antibiotics I would have to be taking.
I looked at Logan, who was still holding onto my hand pretty tightly. He began to smile and even chuckled when I looked at him.
I cocked my head to the side, "What's so funny?"
He smiled, "You look so funny with those bandages on your nose."
He began to laugh again and I gasped. I stood up and looked in the mirror set up in the room. He was right.
I looked so ridiculous with purple bags under my eyes and my nose being swollen and covered in white bandaids.
"It looks like someone tried to mummify me."
Logan came up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. I trembled as his hot breath ran down my neck.
"I think you still look beautiful. You always will." He whispered.
I blushed and smiled. I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck. I was about to lean in and kiss him, but I noticed a shadow in the door.
"Aww, how sweet. Hollywood's biggest couple making out in a hospital room."
Logan and I both turned and saw the unwanted figure in the doorway.
Megan.
