CHAPTER THREE

I woke up to crashing the next morning. I turned my head to see what happened and noticed that there was glass all over the floor. I sat up in bed and said "Nick, what did you do now?"

"I was trying to get some milk and I didn't know that the glass was wet. It slipped right out of my hand."

"Your just a klutz Nick."

"Am not."

"You woke me up, I'm going back to bed, " I said while taking the pillow and covering my face.

Nick walked over to me, grabbed the pillow and hit me on the head with it.

"Oh you didn't just do that."

I took another pillow and whacked Nick with it. It soon turned into a pillow fight. Not a good idea when there is glass on the floor. We forgot about it and with my luck, I stepped on it.

"Ouch!!! Nick. Oh my god! That hurts!!" I screamed in pain.

" Lisa, let me get you in the bathroom."

Nick picked me up and carried me in there where he put me on the toilet. My foot was really bleeding now.

"Now what am I supposed to do??!! Nick asked, putting towels over my bleeding foot.

"There is glass in my foot. Please get it out Nick." I said with tears flying freely from my eyes.

"Hold on one second Lisa."

Nick ran out of the bathroom and into his room, he returned with a flashlight.

He took off one of the towels and turned on the flashlight. He asked me to hold it over my foot, which I did. Nick started to pick at my foot and get the glass out of it. It was sticking out so it wasn't that hard.

"Give me that towel," Nick said pointing to the one next to me.

I gave it to him and he wrapped it around my foot tightly.

"I think I should get you to the hospital. There's too much blood your losing because of that glass."

"Nick, do you have to?"

"Yes." Nick picked me up and carried me out of his room. A few people stared as we got to his car. He placed me in the front and got in. Nick is normally a good driver but he was going kind of fast. We arrived at the hospital 15 minutes later. Nick picked me up and carried me inside.

"What happened?" a doctor asked as we went in.

"She stepped on glass and her foot is bleeding really bad.

"I can see," he said noticing the red towel.

They put me in a wheelchair and rolled me down the hall to a room. I got on the bed as the doctor began removing all the towels. It was still bleeding but not as hard as before. He told me that he was going to put some stitches in my foot. Painful. I held Nick's hand so tight I think he was going to burst. His hand was red when I finally let go of it.

"I'm sorry Nick."

"That's ok Angel."

I had to fill out papers that took forever. We left about an hour later. The doctor told me to stay off that foot for the day. That meant no class. Nick asked me if I wanted to stay with him for the day or if I wanted to go back to my room. I just looked at him.

"My room I take it."

"Please Nick."

"Hey, I don't mind one bit."

Nick carried me inside so I wouldn't have to walk on my foot. Maybe I should hurt myself more often, I won't have to walk, I can be carried by Nick. Just kidding. Nick went around the glass and put me on his bed.

"I'm going to clean up this glass before anyone else gets hurt." Nick said.

"Okee dokee."

Nick cleaned up the glass and the bathroom that had blood on the floor. It's a good thing Nick doesn't hate the sight of blood or I would be cleaning it up.

"All done" he said walking out of the bathroom. He came and sat next to me.

"Well, I don't have to go to class today."

"And neither do I now. I say that's a good thing."

"I guess."

"What? You rather go to class than spend the day with me?"

"I'd rather go to class and have a good foot than spend the day in bed with a bad one."

"Okay, if you say so. I wonder what's on TV?" Nick said taking the remote and flipping it on. I looked at the clock and it said 11:05.

"Oh! Put on channel 10 now!!"

"Why? What's on?"

"Sunset Beach!!"

"Oh no. We are not watching some soap opera of yours."

"Fine then. I'm leaving. I'll go back to my room and watch it." I said starting to get up.

"Your not going anywhere Lisa. You can't even walk. How are you going to make it all the way back to your dorm?"

"Easy. Your going to carry me there."

"I'm not going anywhere. You either stay here or you walk back yourself."

"Then I guess I go back by myself." I lifted myself up and stood up. I limped over to his desk which was right next to the door. I needed something to hold, while Nick was sitting in bed laughing at me.

"What's so funny Nickolas?"

"You trying to walk back to your room. Get over here."

"Nope, I want to watch my soap and you won't let me."

"Fine. You can watch it as long as you get your butt back over here."

I limped over to the bed slowly and sat down on it. Nick handed me the remote and I turned it to Sunset Beach.

"Thank you."

"Yep." Nick said and started to get up.

"Where do you think you are going?"

"I'm not watching that."

"Oh yes you are."

"No I'm not."

"Get your butt back here Nick or I will beat you."

"Oh, I'm scared now."

" Pweese Nicky?" I asked with a sad look on my face.

"Er. Fine Angel."

We watched Sunset Beach. During the show I kept making comments and Nick told me it was just a show. See I really get into them and I yell at the TV sometimes. Nick found it funny once in awhile but then he started hitting me with a pillow.

"Remember what happened last time Nick?"

"Yeah. But there's no glass this time."

"But I can't move so it's no fair to me."

"That's the whole point of it. I win."

Nick started hitting me with the pillow when the show came back on.

"Nick, it's back on. Stop please."

"Your no fun." he said with a pout on his face.

He returned to his sitting position on the bed. The bad thing about this soap is that there are too many commercials!! Nick kept smacking me with a pillow during them. I was waited on hand and foot today by Nick. I found that very enjoyable! I started walking around so my foot would get used to it. It hurts to walk on it though and I'm afraid that the stitches are going to come out. Yuck. It was getting late and I had some early classes the next morning so Nick walked me back to my dorm. Hopefully Sarah and her umm....friend are gone. That was really nasty last night. I mean her? Come on. She couldn't get a guy if she wanted to. I wonder who that person was?

"Well, goodnight Nick. And thanks for taking care of me today." I said once we reached my door.

"No problem at all. Good night." he said to me.

I went inside and turned on the light. Sarah wasn't here, which was a good thing. I went over to my bed and took off the covers and set it down on the floor next to me. The room was a mess, well it was on Sarah's side. I'm a neat freak so I have to have my side clean. That's one reason why I don't like Nick's room. It looks like a tornado went through it! I grabbed my pajamas and changed into them. I wonder where Sarah is, I thought to myself. It was too early to go to sleep so I decided to catch up on the homework I've missed. I finished all of it, which was a good thing, when Sarah walked in the door. She looked like she just came from a party.

" Just come from a party?" I asked.

"No, I went shopping! What does it look like?" she said with an attitude.

"What bug went up your butt?"

"Funny."

"I thought so."

"Drop dead Lisa."

"Right after you."

She just gave me a look and went over to her bed. I was putting my stuff away when she asked me " What happened to your foot?"

"I stepped on glass at Nick's."

"Yeah, I'm sure you did. He probably put it there on purpose for you to step on."

"Sarah, get a clue already! He loves me!!!!! NOT YOU! Get over it. Plus didn't you have a little friend over last night?"

"As a matter of fact I did, until you turned on the stupid light!"

"Awww...he left you. Poor baby."

" Shut up you brat. Your just jealous of me, that Nick loves me and not you."

"I don't see a ring on your finger. I see it on mine."

"He probably got that ring from those quarter machines."

"I didn't know they put diamond rings in there." I said.

"Go jump off a cliff Lisa."

"I'd rather push you off one."

Sarah ignored me and continued on with whatever she was doing. You could spot Sarah out from a crowd of a million people. She has black hair, dyed, with yellow streaks, dresses in black clothes, has her nose pierced, the typical freak. That's why no decent guy will go out with her. Nick just laughs at her appearance as do I. If she would take off all that makeup, dress normally, and get rid of the yellow streaks she wouldn't look that bad. Anyway, it was getting late so I decided to go to bed. I put on my headphones since that always makes me fall asleep faster. Nick has such a great voice and I love when he sings me to sleep. It's so nice and peaceful. After Nick's last class tomorrow we are driving up to his house for the weekend which means I have to pack tomorrow. I was suppose to do that today but with my foot I couldn't. I'm just happy to get away from this school for a few days. I just wish Heather wasn't in Maine that way I could see her too.
