Maddie's Pov New Years Day
I woke up the next morning with pain in my joints, more specifically my right shoulder. The pain is bearable but I'm gonna need some Advil.
I get out of bed and head to the bathroom. I look through the cabinet type thing behind the mirror. After looking through all the bottles I realize that there's no Advil, meaning I have to go to the store.
I grab a piece of paper and wrote Luke a note telling him that I'm running to the store real quick. I set the paper on the table beside him.
I go over to the front door and slip on my shoes. I grab the car keys before walking out of the hotel room. I walk down the hallway to the elevator, I reach up to press the elevator button, I feel a sharp pain in my right shoulder again.
"Fuck," I curse. I squeeze my eyes shut in pain. I take a few deep breaths, I stand there for a few minutes deciding if I should go wake Luke up or drive. I don't really know if I can drive, I probably can drive but I don't really wanna take the risk.
I head back to the hotel room to wake Luke up, I hope he's not gonna be angry at me for waking him up.
I open the door once I get to the room. I walk over to my side of the bed and sit down.
"Luke," I softly said as I shake him a little bit, he groans and moves slightly.
"Luke," I said again but louder and shake him more.
"What?" Luke groaned. I now feel bad for waking him up, I should've just driven myself.
"Can you drive me to the store please?" I asked him. I probably sound like a child asking him to drive me somewhere.
"You woke me up to drive you to the store at 8 am?" Luke asked.
"I'm sorry, I can't drive myself or else I would," I looked down at my fingers. I don't really wanna tell Luke the reason I can't drive myself because I don't need him to worry about me, he would tell me to go to the hospital and I don't think it's that bad right now.
"Why?" Luke asked.
"I just need some Advil," I told him, it was true I did need it but I just didn't tell him why.
"Do you have a headache?" Luke asked sitting up.
"It's my shoulder," I couldn't lie to him. "I woke up with really bad pain in my right shoulder and I just need to take some aspirin,"
"You need to go to the hospital," I knew Luke was gonna say that.
"If the pain gets worse I will,"
"Let's go then," Luke gets up out of bed and slips his shoes on.

"How long are you staying here for?" Luke asked. I haven't really figured that out yet.
"I guess until you get tired of me," I said, I scan the shelves for Advil.
"That will never happen," Luke chuckled.
"I'll probably leave in 2 weeks because I still need to go to school," I go to grab the Advil off the shelf when I feel that familiar sharp pain in my shoulder from when I went to press the elevator button.
"Fuck," I curse. I squeeze my eyes shut again as I feel that sharp pain get worse.
"Maddie, you need to go to the hospital," Luke said.
"No, I'm fine," I tell Luke. I put my phone in my other hand before grabbing the bottle of Asprin.
"You're clearly not fine," Luke said.
"Just drop it, Luke," I said snapped, I move around Luke and head to the register to pay for the Asprin.
I pay for the Advil and walk out to the car. I look back to see if Luke was following and he was.
I was the first one in the car, I get in and close the door before putting my seatbelt on. I wait for Luke, he wasn't that far behind me but seemed to get to the car a long time after me.
"What the hell is your problem," That's the first thing Luke says to me once he got in the car.
"I don't have a problem," I said. "I just don't feel I need to go to the hospital right now if the pain gets any worse than what it is now then I will go,"
"I just wanna make sure you're okay," Luke replied.
"I know and I appreciate that but it's not gotten to the point where I need to go to the hospital," I told him. "I'm sorry for snapping out on you,"
"It's alright I understand," Luke put the key in the ignition before starting the car up. "How about we go to a small diner I know for breakfast?"
"Sure,"
"Do you need something to drink?" Luke asked looking at me, he was waiting for an answer.
"Yeah, do you have anything?" I start to open the Advil so I can take 2.
"Here I just bought this," Luke pulls a pack of gum out of the bag and puts it in the middle console. He then pulls out a bottle of water and hands it to me.
"Thanks," I open the bottle of water before setting it in between my legs. I open the bottle of aspirin and spill two of them in my hand. I hand the bottle to Luke so he can close it up for me.
"Ready to go eat breakfast?" Luke asked putting the car in drive.
"Let's go," I excitedly said.

Author's Note:
I'm so sorry for not updating in a couple of months. I've been dealing with a lot of things. I kind of had writer's block for this story but earlier today I finally got over it and had an idea so I started writing.
I will try and get another chapter up by the end of the day.
