KAI
I gently guided Bella through the hospital doors, my arm wrapped around her waist to support her. She insisted she was fine, but I knew better. The way she winced with every step, the way her eyes seemed to cloud over with pain - she was far from fine.
"Come on, Bella, just a little farther," I coaxed, trying to keep her moving.
"I'm fine, Kai," she said, her voice tight with annoyance. "You don't have to hold me."
"I'm not letting you go," I replied, my arm tightening around her waist. "You're not fine, Bella. You're hurt."
She shot me a look, but I just raised an eyebrow. "Don't even try to deny it," I said. "I can see it in your eyes."
Bella sighed, but she didn't argue anymore. Instead, she just leaned into me, letting me support her weight.
