Chapter 22

"Hi, mum," Liam smiled.

"How are you feeling, son?" His father asked.

"Alright, I guess. My head hurts."

"I already administrated some meds through his IV," The nurse, very professionally, informed.

"Thank you, Vicky." Karen replied.

"But, what happened?" Liam asked, feeling in the dark.

"You suffered a lot of injuries in the car crash. A concussion, a pair of broken ribs and even a second degree burn in your right leg. You had been on high sedatives for all of this time, but a couple of days ago we reduced the dose since your body is already healed from the worst." Vicky explained.

Karen's eyes filled with tears just listening again to what had happened to her son, "We were now just waiting for you to come around," she spoke.

"Right now would be the best if you went back to sleep. To adjust your body to its normal functions, the sooner the better," Vicky indicated, "Dr Crawford will be here in the morning to check on you,"

They all nodded.

"Good night, sweetie. See you in the morning," Karen kissed Liam's forehead.

"Goodnightmummy," He replied.

"Rest well, son" Geoff spoke.

"Thanks. You too, dad"

Liam's parents thank the nurse and wished Louis goodnight.

"You're not going to sleep?" Liam asked Louis, who showed no signs of leaving.

"Yeah, after you fall asleep," Louis answered with a smile and making himself comfortable beside him, careful of not hurting him.

"Okay," Liam smiled, then he noticed another bed at the other end of his room, "What's that bed doing there?"

"He's been practically living here with you," Vicky said, "After three nights of sleeping in your couch your mom made them instal a bed for him."

Liam turned to look at Louis.

"I missed being your roommate," Louis shrugged with a smile.

Liam returned the smile, "Thanks for being here,"

Louis silently chuckled, "It's alright, Liam, I'm glad you're getting better." he said brushing some of Liam's messy hair.

And Liam still had so many questions, but as his headache started to give in he started feeling really sleepy. He guessed the questions would have to wait until the morning, so he fell asleep listening to Luis quietly humming a song for him.

When I was younger I was certain

That I'd be fine without a queen

Just a king inside his castle

With an ocean in between

Now all I do is sit

And count the miles from you to me

Next morning Louis woke up in a better mood than he had for the last three weeks. Liam's awakening and recovery eased some of his sorrow, but he still felt a hell of a lot of pain; so his mood wasn't great either.

He got up and saw Liam was still sleeping. He took a shower in Liam's bathroom and got ready for the day.

When he got out he saw Vicky hadn't left, even though his night shift had ended. She was talking to Melissa, who worked for the first day shift, filling her in with the latest news about Liam's health.
