Chapter 7. You’re not crazy. You’re in love

I knew what today was, and because of that, a small gray cloud hung over my head. The hospital had kept me twenty four hours for observation due to my head injuries, but they had scheduled to release me today. A tiny sliver of me was happy about going home. I didn’t really want to leave, not without her. Part of me wished they would make me stay here, just so I could be close to her. Especially since I hadn’t had that much face to face time. I basically had to beg the nurse yesterday to take me to her room, which included a hell of a lot of groveling. Emily was more alert than the last time I had seen her, but not much. The visit was really brief since she had been in and out of consciousness. She was extremely tired and not feeling well when she was awake, so I let her sleep. Late last night she finally came to, completely. We called each other’s room a few times just to complain about our pain, and compare bumps and bruises. That’s all I had to go off of, and now I was leaving her here all alone and I hated it.

“Mr. King, You are free to go,” Glenda said, as she poked her head inside my room.

I smiled briefly.

She walked over to the bed, and placed her hand on my arm. “As soon as we get you dressed and I know who is picking you up, you’re good to go see Emily. She’s been asking for you.”

“She has?” I lifted my head up.

“Demanding little thing. She’s almost as bad as you.”

“I doubt that, Glenda.” I smirked while she laughed.

“You might be right. Here’s the clothes your mother brought when she came. Not sure they’ll fit that cast. I’ll be back in a second to help you get dressed. I just need to take a tray to Emily and tend to a few patients.”

As soon as she left, I started tossing my clothes on, beginning with my shirt and then my boxers. The underwear was a bitch, but it wasn’t too bad to one arm dress myself. Next I grabbed the pants. Shit. Mission Impossible here. There was a lot of wiggling and stretching on my behalf. I finally pulled them up partially on one leg. The cast was just too damn bulky. I kicked the pants off me in frustration watching them fall to the floor. I should have just waited for Glenda. That was exhausting. I stood up and hopped over to the wall and then the door. Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! The pain in my leg was intense. I was sweating now. I grabbed the wheelchair next to the door and sat down. I was breathing hard as I wheeled myself to Emily’s room with my one good arm. I couldn’t even believe I just did that. Somebody please put me out of my misery. Label me insane and send me home already.
