Chapter 48

Upon waking up, Alex turned to smile at Jake, who looked like he'd been awake for a while. Jake smiled right back. "Good morning, Al. Did you sleep alright?" "Yes, Sir. Thank you." "Does your arm feel alright?" "Sort of... It kind of hurts... Just a little though." Jake nodded, standing up to walk into their bathroom to grab a few pain killers. Alex moved over and tried to grab his arm to stop him, but accidently used the wrong arm, and he gasped before cringing, trying to look away so Jake wouldn't notice. But Jake had watched him do it. Jake kneeled down by the bed, reaching a hand out to tilt Alex's head toward himself. "Allie, why did you do that?" Alex shook his head, in too much pain to speak. Jake lifted Alex by the shoulders, just to turn him onto his back so he wouldn't lay on his arm anymore. "I'm sorry, babe. I'll go grab you some pain killers, okay? Do not move. Understood?"
