Chapter 13: The New Rumor

Chapter 13: The New Rumor

The next morning, Tanner entered my room and brought in a blue wheelchair. I didn't even know they came in different colors. Well, at least he remembered my favorite color.

"So, what do you want to wear today?" He questioned me as he entered my closet and scurried through my clothes. "How about this?" He asks out as he pulls out a big red sweater and a pair of jeans.

"I guess so," I answered him before giving out a lame shrug. I look away from the closet and began focusing on my room. In my head, I couldn't help but think if Jesse truly thinks I'm dead. I hope so.

"Paisley", I hear Tanner and I turn and he looks at me worriedly. The room went silent. "Did you hear what I said?"

"No," I answered him truthfully. "I got distracted in my thoughts," I explained.

"What were you thinking about?"

"Don't worry about it," I sigh. We got quiet again. "I need to take a shower," I let out of the blue.

"Sure," he answered. "Where are your bras and underwear located?" He asks as he walks toward my drawers.

Man, this is going to be embarrassing! He opened my top drawer than exposed my bras. He picks one out quickly before closing it and opening the next one which was my underwear. He takes one in his hand and closed the drawer. He turns to face me and his face was redden. I guess his embarrassed too.

"Um, here," he says handing it to me. He then reaches out for my sweater and jeans and handed them over as well. "I'll go turn on the water in the tub so when I lay you in it, it'll be warm."

I nod my head as he walks out of my room. When he returned, he brings the wheelchair closer to my bed and removes the covers away from me. He slowly and carefully picked me up and set me in the chair. I bit of pain ran through me and I let out a small hiss.

"I'm sorry," he apologized. He got behind me and pushed the wheelchair to the bathroom down the hall. When we arrived, it hit me that the only way I could get in would be if I was stripped out of my clothes and placed in there. And well, Tanner is my helper... so he has to do it for me. "Oh shit," he let out as soon as he finally came to notice that we have a situation. "What should we do?"

I sigh out. What do to what to do? I can always tell him close his eyes while I strip out of my shorts and shirt. No, then how will he put me in the tub? Ugh. "I'll get undressed, but you will have your eyes closed!" I remind him.

"Okay," he responded. I see him close his eyes shut and I begin to take off my shirt and short and I quickly covered myself with the towel. "Are you done yet?"

"Um, yeah," I say awkwardly. I watched as he opened his eyes and looked me over. "Just hurry up and put me in," I tell him. He picks me up and I felt his warm skin touching mine. "Just look away and leave when you set me down," I commanded him.

He cleared his throat before answering me with, "sure thing."

He did exactly as I told him. He set me in and hurried out. I quickly moved the towel away from me before it could touch the water. I threw it onto the wheelchair that contained my clothes. I usually don't like taking baths since it makes me feel dirtier since I'd be lying in my own filth. But today, I will have to deal with it.

Once I was finished, I drained the water from the tub and began to reach out for my towel and undergarments. I begin to quickly dry myself before I put on the essentials. Sure, it hurt like hell, but I had to take the pain like a champ. I slowly put on my jeans and sweater before shouting for Tanner to help me out. He opened the door with his eyes closed and I couldn't help but laugh out a little.
