Chapter Thirty-Five: Crisa
697 Words
When Tara came in with the paperwork Chris and Tyler took the prescriptions to get them filled. Thane handed me a bag of clothes that Thalia had sent over. After looking at the clothes in the bag I realized that I wouldn’t be able to comfortably wear them. Storm noticed the look on my face and asked me what was wrong. I looked him over and noticed his T-shirt looked big enough that I would be able to wear it like a dress so I said, “can you give me your shirt? I’m not going to be able to wear the clothes Thalia sent me comfortably due to the placement of the wound and form fitting nature of the outfit.”
He smiled as he quickly removed his shirt for me to wear and thankfully he had a tank top underneath it. When he handed me the shirt he went to turn around so I could put it on, but I couldn’t get the gown off due to my limited range of movement. It seems I have no choice, but to ask Storm for help so I cleared my throat to get his attention. When he turned around he was confused that I still hadn’t changed so I said, “can you please help me get the gown off and put the shirt on? I can’t move my arm the way I need to get changed.”
Without responding Storm walked over to me and gently untied the gown and slipped it off. As he was putting the T-shirt on me he noticed the wound on my side and gently ran his hand over it. As much as I may have wanted to drag this out I was hungry and my stomach let out a loud growl making Storm chuckle and say, “let’s get you out of here so we can feed the monster.” I just laughed while he put my shoes on and and made sure that we didn’t leave anything in the room. When I went to stand up I swayed a little bit and Storm picked me up ignoring my protests.
Thane was waiting for us outside in the car ready to go. When he saw Storm carrying me he jumped out of the car and opened the door. Storm put me in the passenger seat and climbed into the backseat sitting behind me while Thane drove to my house. When we got to my house I could see that there was a lot of people there and I had to fight with Storm to be able to walk on my own. Apparently he felt like I should just be carried everywhere, but he would just have to settle for me using his arm for support.
When we finally made it inside Nikita was the first one to rush up to me and try to hug me. Thankfully Storm was still next to me and has some fast reflexes so he was able to stop her. Thalia was right behind her and was the first to notice that I wasn’t wearing the clothes she packed for me. True to her personality she loudly said, “that’s not what you were supposed to wear. Where are your clothes? Who’s shirt is that? Why aren’t you wearing any pants?” My patience had worn thin so before she could continue with her rant I cut her off and said, “if you had considered my wound then you would know that I wouldn’t be able to wear what you packed because it’s too tight and would cause me to be in pain. So I borrowed the T-shirt Storm had on. Now Storm help me to my room and can someone f*****g bring me food!” Everyone was staring at me shocked by my outburst and I really don’t know why. They know how I am when I’m hungry or just plain aggravated, but this time I was both. Maybe it was because I asked Storm to take me to my room and I was wearing his shirt. At this point I didn’t care I just wanted to get some food and some sleep.
