Takecare Of You
Alaia's POV
I was woken up by the sound of a knock at the door. I sat up to find Mom sleeping next to me, Dad had fallen asleep too but on a sofa by the window, and Nick was standing close to him looking out the window.
After a bit of a checkup, the doctor finds nothing unsual about my current condition and attributes it to side effects of the operation. He suggests i go through to the hospital in town for a more thorough examination. He is hesitant to give me any pain meds, because i was already priscribed some which i am taking, but eventually offers me something stronger since what am taking is not helping me much. Otherwise i have to wait the five weeks for more tests and the second operation to be done back Russia again.
Nick, who hasn't said a word, or made eye contact with me throughout this whole process offers to walk the doctor out after he is done with me and since am feeling much better now, i decide to go with him, surprisingly, he doesn't object.
