Kai POV: I would be so bored if everything didn't hurt like it did. Just breathing hurt my chest and lungs, and that made talking really hard. My leg was stiff and uncomfortable, same with my shoulder. I couldn't grip anything with my other hand, meaning that I really couldn't do anything. Not that I had to since they were only giving me stuff that I could drink. Zane said that it would be better for my stomach and to rebuild my appetite. Which I wasn't going to argue.

I sighed and flinched from the pain as Zane fixed the brace onto Lloyd. He also didn't like it, and he grimaced from his own pain. At least he knows how I feel. Though I wished that he wasn't hurt since that was the one thing that I didn't want to happen.

Once they were done, Zane forced him to lay back down and turned to me. I think he noticed that I flinched earlier.

"And what about you? Anything bothering you?" he asked.

"Not really. I just want to get out of here." I said, holding onto a little hope.

But he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry Kai, but you are going to have to stay here for a while."

I was disappointed, but I knew that they were just being cautious. Even though I hated it, I just let it go for now. He went off the machines, making sure they were fine when Nya walked in. she definitely didn't get a good night's sleep last night. It wasn't completely obvious, but I knew her and when she had that problem. However, I knew that she hated getting called out, so I didn't say anything.

She came over and sat down next to me. She immediately asked, "How are you feeling?"

"As well as I can. How about you?" She gave me a soft glare. I don't think she believed me.

"Kai, seriously, are you okay?" she asked again, a little quieter than before. Not that it matters since Lloyd clearly was listening. Zane, too, mostly likely.

"I promise that I'm not too bad. I'll get better before you know it." I tried to reassure her.

But she just looked upset and said, "Really? Not too bad? It is really bad, Kai. you're stuck in bed and are in pain even now. And don't even try to deny it, I can see it in your face. How can you say that you're not too bad?"

Okay, so she's really upset. I was going to say something, but she just shook her head. "Just please, don't downplay anything. We're trying to help, and you need to let us."

"I… okay, I'll try." I gave in. She wasn't going to let up on me if I said anything else. But I wasn't going to worry her too much if I could.

But she looked satisfied and said, "Good, so what's really bothering you now?"

Now I was confused, "What do you mean?"

She just gave me a look and said, "It's written all over your face. What's wrong?" Since when were sisters so good at seeing through you?

I sighed and flinched from my chest pain. Which both her and Zane noticed. He asked, "Are you still having problems with your ribs?"

"...It's mostly my chest and lungs now." I admitted. Willing, not because Nya was glaring at me to tell the truth.

Zane nodded and started a scan to see. Which let Lloyd take the time to ask, "Why didn't you mention that earlier?"

"Because you were the one being stubborn." I said, grimacing a little. He rolled his eyes, and Nya took my hand. She was comforting me, which is better than her scolding, and I smiled a little at her.

The scan was quick, and Zane, in no time, explained, "It seems that you have some heavy bruising on your chest that I didn't notice before. But there's not much we can do other than keep an eye on it for now."

I nodded, and he checked the painkillers. I knew that he wasn't going to use the strong ones, I don't need the risk that comes with those. But at the same time, this pain was a lot.

Once he was done, he left to check on the others, and Nya sat back down. Eventually, they worked, and I relaxed a bit. Lloyd also relaxed once he was that I was, too.

"So, how long am I going to have to be here?" I asked. Trying to break the silence.

"Zane didn't specify, but I think it's going to be a while. Maybe until your ribs are healed?" Lloyd said, shrugging a little.

"And how long will that be?" That made him scratch the back of his head.

"Probably a few weeks, at least. At most, maybe a month." Nya answered, making me groan.

That made my chest hurt, but I didn't care. A month in bed was the worst thing I could think of. Not to mention the boredom that would follow. Plus, there was nothing I could do to change that because of my arms. Why does the universe hate me so much?

"Don't worry. We'll keep you entertained." Nya said, knowing exactly what I was thinking.

"I'm sure that you will try." I responded.

But I have no doubt that it was going to be hard for everyone. Because while I did like video games and other stuff that the others like. There's just no way that they will be able to hang out in here all day. Not that I would ask them anyway. They have more important things to do and I won't let them ignore that for me.

I sighed again and flinched from the pain. Nya noticed this and took my hand again. She gave it a gentle squeeze and I smiled at her. She obviously felt bad for me, which she shouldn't, and was trying to make me feel better. If my arm wasn't fractured I would squeeze back. But I think she got the message since she smiled back. I leaned back against the pillows and was starting to get really tired. I didn't try to hide it, so of course they caught on.

"Kai, are you good?" Lloyd asked, and I nodded. I was too tired to talk anymore.

Nya gently patted my good shoulder and said, "Take a nap. You need it."

I wanted to argue with her, but I just didn't have the energy anymore. I nodded and closed my eyes. It didn't take long for me to fall asleep.

Nya POV: Once Kai was out I leaned back against the chair. I sighed loudly and said, "This is going to be a lot of work."

"If you're talking about Kai and his stubbornness, I agree." Lloyd responded, and I rolled my eyes. But he wasn't wrong.

"There is that, but I was thinking more about how we're going to keep him from doing something reckless." I said, and he laughed a little.

"You're right. But I can do that while I'm healing." he suggested.

"That might work for a while, but I doubt it will all of the time." I responded, and he nodded.

Plus, he was going to be out of here a lot faster than Kai. and I was worried that he was going to push things too far and hurt himself. That's the last thing that I wanted.

I just hope that he can be patient this time.
