Nick and I were sitting there for a little while before we heard some noise from outside.
"HEY!" someone yelled. Nick and I both jumped. We turned to look at the door. "You hungry?" It was Adam. He had a small tray of food with him. Adam slid the tray through the slots in the bars. Nick went over and took it.
"Thanks." Nick whispered and moved back to me.
"Welcome. Listen, I'll try to hold Rick back ok?" Adam said in an apologetic tone.
"Yea...um..thanks..." Nick said looking at me confused. Adam then closed the metal door and we heard him walk away.
"That was weird." I whispered still in tons of pain.
"Yea." Nick agreed. Then we turned our attention to the try. There was a glass of milk and 2 sandwiches and that was it. "You hungry?" Nick asked.
"No. My stomach hurts too much for me to eat." I said painfully. Boy did my stomach hurt. I looked at my arms, which were around my stomach; they had stopped bleeding but were hella bruised. Nick looked at me concerned.
"You have to eat. Please just try for me?" Nick said looking at me with that damn puppy dog face. Man how I hated that. We didn't fight much but when we did I would have to turn my back so I wouldn't see that puppy face. Anyway, I broke down.
"Ok, just a little....But if I through up all over myself...." I left that statement hanging for Nick's mind to interpret the rest. Nick smiled. A genuine smile. That made me feel good. I smiled back but stopped when I felt intense pain hit the left side of my face. Nick looked at me worriedly.
"Are you ok??" He asked concerned.
"Yea. My face just hurts. I must look like shit huh." I said looking away from Nick.
"Rachel, you could never look like shit to me." He said turning my head to look him in the eyes. He meant what he said. (AWWWWW I know mushy but it is Nick..gotta have some) Nick handed me the baloney sandwich. It hurt for me to chew but I did. For Nick. I surprisingly finished the sandwich. Nick and I then drank the glass of milk. Nick then laid on his stomach next to me.
"How's your back?" I asked looking at him.
"It will be ok. Are you feeling better?" Nick asked. Just like Nick to get the topic off of himself.
"A little." I said.
"Let's try to sleep." Nick said yawning. I just nodded and closed my eyes. Nick gently put his arm around me. I opened my eyes and looked over at him. Nick was already asleep but I saw the pain etched on his face. I sighed and put my arm on the one he had around me and drifted off to sleep.
