✯✯✯✯✯

When she finally opened her eyes after the anesthesia wore off, I took my first normal breath. I knew that the doctor said the risks were minimal, but I couldn’t help but be anxious over the whole thing. I was two seconds away from asking for some drugs of my own just so I didn’t flip out. Lucy meant more to me than I could have ever imagined and the thought of her in pain was more than I could take. Derek had assured me that he would take care of Lucy when she was released, but I just couldn’t deal with that. I needed to be with her and make sure with my own eyes that she was okay. The only way I was leaving her side was if she asked me to.

“How are you feeling?” I asked as she finally came around. She had packing inside her nose to hold everything in place and then she had a “mustache dressing” under her nose to catch blood that would leak out. She would have to keep it on for about twenty-four hours. I didn’t care. I just wanted her to not be in pain, but based on the size of the swelling around her nose, I would guess that she was going to be in pain for a while.

“Hmm?” she looked around the room, blinking a few times and then focused in on me again. “Good. How’d it go?”

“It went great. The doctor said that your nose is a little deformed, but he could probably fix it with another surgery.”

Her eyes went wide and she jerked up in bed, cringing from the pain. I stood up, regretting the joke instantly. “Shit, I’m sorry. I was just joking. There’s nothing wrong with your nose.”

“You big jerk,” she muttered as she laid back down.

“The nurse is going to check on you and then we can get out of here now that you’re awake.”

“Awesome.”

“Do you want me to take you to your sister’s?”

“I thought that you were taking me home?”

“I can. I’d like to,” I admitted. “I just wasn’t sure if you would want me there.”

“I don’t think I can stand to be around Derek and Claire just yet.” I wondered if she really felt that way. She had admitted to me earlier that she loved me, but I wasn’t sure if it was just the drugs talking.

“I can stay with you. If you want, you can come back to my place. I have that nice, big bed.”

Her eyes lit up and I smiled. “That sounds like heaven right now. I love your bed.”

“Well, my bed is yours for as long as you want.”

I took her back to her place after she was released and we got a bag packed for her to stay a few days. She insisted that she only had to stay one night, but I convinced her that my king size bed would be more comfortable for a few days. She didn’t really put up that much of a fight.
