Chapter 17: Good Morning

Caleb POV

I woke up to nurses taking some of my vitals and bringing me breakfast. I couldn’t remember how I fell asleep or how I even got into this bed. The sun was shining brightly through the window, a sight I thought I’d never get to see again. Paige was also in the room, sleeping on the couch like a baby.

It was the afternoon, and the hallways were empty. I wondered if this hospital gets visitors often. By the looks of it the decor would scare even the helpless away.

My stitches felt alright, and my bruise was all wrapped up nicely. I’m finally healing and will be back to my normal self again. Whatever normal that could be.

My mind was a little foggy, and I had a hard time concentrating on one thing at a time. The television started to look a little funny. My socks were barely on, and my gown was too rough on my skin. Was I a patient or an inmate?

“It looks like you’re all set for the day, and a doctor will be meeting with you later,” one of the nurses reminded me.
