Sebastian sat up stretching. It wasnt the most comfortable way to sleep but he made do. He looked over at Aria and saw she was still asleep. She hadnt woke up at all he didnt think. He stayed up watching over her until about five in the morning. It was now noon. He ran his fingers through his hair before standing up from his chair getting a good stretch in. He heard footsteps approaching as he looked he saw his mom standing in the doorway.
"Hey Sebby how is she?" Robin asked. Sebastian shrugged "I'm not sure she hasnt woken up any that I know of. I stayed lver night with her." He told her. Robin was shocked but it didnt surprise her. "I'll keep an eye on her if you want to get something to eat and some coffee in your system." She offered, but Sebastian shook his head "I'm staying here until she wakes up. I wont leave her." He replied. Robin just smiled before patting him on the shoulder "I always said you were a good kid." She said before walking away.
Sebastian rolled his eyes as his mom left. He turned his attention back to Aria and much to his surprise she had begun to stir. He hurried back to his chair and sat down watching her. Aria slowly opened her eyes looking around the room she had never been in. "Hey sunshine glad to see you awake." Sebastian said making her look at him.
"How long have I been asleep?"she asked. Sebastian thought "Well Harvey had you sedated about seven last night and its now noon." He told her. Her eyes went wide before she tried to get out of bed but laid back down when she felt pain.
"You need to take it easy. You are pretty beat up you don't need to over exert yourself. " he told her. The look of pain was on her face as a tear slid down her cheek. "I need to feed my animals." She said. Sebastian nodded at her "its already been taking care of. Sam went down there this morning before work and fed them. Apparently your ducks and chickens were following him around when he checked on them."
Aria smiled a little as Harvey entered her room. "Ahh there she is finally awake. How are you feeling?" He asked. Aria sighed "I feel like I was beaten with a metal baseball bat." She replied. Harvey looked at her chart and began to check her over. Sebastian watched as she whinced out in pain as he sat her up. He unhooked her from the iv drip and oxygen mask knowing she was able to breath on her own.
"Alright I think you are good to go home. I'll send some painkillers home with you should you need them. Allow your ribs and leg at least six to eight weeks to heal. Until then i would recommend having someone stay with you." He said. Aria nodded 'this is going to suck. I cant even take care of myself. Now I'm just a burden.' She thought.
Sebastian went and got a wheelchair for her but was stopped by Harvey. "Whoever stays with her I would suggest keeping a close eye on her. With as much trauma she dealt with yesterday she may be prone to suicidal thoughts or actions." He said. Sebastian wasnt going to let her do that. "Dont worry Harvey ill be staying with her." He said
Harvey nodded and stepped aside to let Sebastian pass. Aria was sittin at the edge of the bed as Sebastian arrived with the wheelchair. "Your chariot awaits you my lady." He told her trying to cheer her up. Aria smiled lightly as Sebastian made his way over to her. He wrapped her armaround his neck as he gently moved her to the wheelchair.
She whimpered in pain as she sat down in the chair. He proped her feet up as began to wheel her out of the clinic. "Lewis said your parents were taken into custody by the police in the next town over. He said if you wanted to press charges you could." He told her. Aria stayed silent for a bit "I would love nothing more than to make sure they rot in jail for all the years of abuse the put me through." She said.
Sebastian nodded "I'll let him know. So I have some news for you missy. Since you will be out of commission for at least six to eight weeks, I will be staying with you at the farm until you are healed." He told her. Aria looked over her shoulder "you dont have to do that. I dont want to be a burden to you." She told him.
Sebastian stopped in his tracks and walked around to face her. His eyes met hers "now listen here, you are not a burden. If I thought you were I wouldnt have volunteered myself to help you. So I dont want to hear you say you are a burden again when you are clearly not one." Aria stayed quiet as Sebastian returned to his place behind her and began to continue pushing her.
Sebastian carefully backed them into the door of her house. And when he turned her around Aria was shocked at what she saw. There were a bunch of get well flowers from everyone in the town. Aria began to cry. She didnt know the whole town cared for her. For the very first tims she felt wanted.
Sebastian let her cry. He felt she needed to get it out. Sebastian then heard some whimpering behind her bedroom door and when he opened it out ran Dusty. Her tail was wagging happily as she ran up to Aria trying to pick her. Aria began to laugh. She needed a laugh. "I'm going to get changed ill be right back." She said. Sebastian watched her wheel herself into her bedroom.
Sebastian could hear her struggling to change. "Argh! I can't wear leggings because of this thing!" She yelled. Sebastian snickered living with her for a few weeks was going to be an interesting few weeks.
