CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

~JASON~

I woke with a major need to pee, but completely peaceful. Kayla was curled into me. This time, I wasn’t holding her in my arms because she had a nightmare. She was laying with her head on my chest and her arm across my waist. It was a feeling I had never experienced. We have never had sex, yet there I was, just as content as if we had. The peace, relief, and relaxed feeling that I felt right then was a wonderful feeling, and I hoped to have many, many more of those kind of mornings.

She looked so peaceful as she slept. I wiggled my way out from under her, somehow managing not to wake her. Grabbing my IV pole, I stumbled my way to the bathroom. I was a little weak, but nothing like I imagined I would be after having surgery. I moved to the sink to wash my hands when a scream came from the room.

Shit! She’s having a nightmare!

I rushed out to the room as fast as my feet would carry me and I could get the pole to move. Just as I got to the bed, several nurses came in the room. I was sure they enjoyed a nice view of my bare ass, but my focus was on Kayla.

“Please… there’s a lot of blood. I need to go to the doctor,” she sobbed.

“Oh god! It hurts! You’re hurting me!” She started crying. “Just kill me. Please just kill me. If this is what my life is going to be like, please just kill me.”

I turned to the pale-faced nurses.

“Please, someone get me some cold water. She’s stuck in a nightmare.”

It was the worst I had heard. She wasn’t hearing my voice at all. The last time, she registered me, but she wasn’t this time. The nurse handed me cold water in a glass and I slowly poured it on her face. She thrashed before jerking up to a sitting position and screaming. Reaching up with my good hand, I touched her face and she jumped.

“Kayla, baby, it’s okay. He can’t hurt you. You’re with me in the hospital.”

“He was… it was…” she stammered as she began to rub her arm.

I grabbed her hand and held it in mine. I rubbed her arm, and that’s when I felt the raise on her skin. I looked down and saw the scar that stretched from just above her wrist and angled back to almost touch her elbow.

“He did this to you?” I whispered.

Looking up at her, I saw her nod her head. Everything in
