"I will," she said. "Don't you worry."

*Kenzie takes Nat into their bedroom. Alex follows them.*

As I layed down on the bed, Kenzie grabbed some extra pillows for my foot. Then, she went downstairs to get some ice.

"Nat," said Alex. "I'm really really sorry. I didn't mean to hurt your foot. It was an accident."

"It's whatever, Alex," I said. "I don't care anymore."

"What do you mean?" he asked. "Do you not accept my apology?"

"I do," I said. "I don't know. I guess I'm just getting at that age of my life where I don't know what to do with myself anymore, or I'm just tired & need a nap."

"You probably are just tired," said Alex. "You're usually cranky like this if you don't rest for a little while. How long were you working out today?"

"A couple hours," I said. "But I'm not tired right now,-" I yawned, covering my mouth.

Alex smiled. "Are you sure?" 

"Well, now that you think about it, I might be a little bit sleepy," I said. 

Kenzie came back with a bag of ice. "Where does your foot hurt, Nat?"

"Everywhere," I said. "But mainly my toes."

"Okay," she said. "This may hurt a little."

I grabbed another pillow, bearing it closer to my chest. "I'm ready. Let's get it over with."

Kenzie put the bag of ice on my toes, & I flinched a little bit. After that was all done, I felt somewhat relaxed.

"There," she said. "Do you need anything else?"

"Could you come lay here next to me, please?" I asked.

"Sure," she said. "Just for a little bit, though. I have to leave in a little while to pick up the kids."

"How about I go pick them up?" asked Alex.

"Why do you want to do it?" I asked.

"Well, Kenzie's really great at taking care of you while your sick or hurt," he said. "I think it should be fair that I get to pick up my favorite nephews from school."

"They're your only nephews, Alex," I said. 

"I know," he said. "That's cause they're my favorite."

I looked at Kenzie. "What do you think, Kenzie? Should he pick them up from school?"

"I think he should," said Kenzie. 

I nodded, then I looked back at Alex. "Alright Alex, you can pick the kids up from school," I said. "But please bring them back home safely."

"I will," he said. "Thanks guys!"

"You're welcome," said Kenzie. "Their snacks are in the fridge, in the middle shelf."

"Okay, thanks," said Alex. 

*Alex left the room.*

I yawned, then I intertwined Kenzie & I's fingers together. "Thanks for staying here with me, Kenzie."

"No problem, Nat," she said. 

I looked down at my foot. "I think my foot is broken."

"No it's not," she said. "It's just a little bruised. It'll get better soon, I promise."

I yawned again. 

"Are you tired?" asked Kenzie.

"Yeah," I said. "Just a little bit."
