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?"
"Yes, Sir." Alex answered through gritted teeth. Jake hurried to get him a glass of water, and two pain killers, before he rushed back over to Alex's side. "Here." Alex took the pills, praying that they work quickly. Jake took the water back, took a sip, and then placed the glass on their bedside table. He reached a hand out for Alex's good arm, and helped him stand. Alex had tears in his eyes, but he did his best not to let Jake see them. Jake held his hand and helped him walk down the stairs carefully, knowing Alex might be scared of them after his accident. Todrick saw them and walked over quickly, waiting at the base of the staircase. "Good morning, you two. How are you feeling, Al?" Alex smiled at him as much as he could. "Pretty good. Alpha gave me some pills to take, so... Should be even better!"
