It was currently 8:30am and Ive been up all night. I seen the guys sleep in the chairs except for Duke; He slept in the bed next to me. Nurses came in throughout the night to check on me and give me medicine so that was another reason I couldn't sleep.
Since I couldn't sleep I decided to get up and use the restroom. Once I did that I went back in the bed to lay down.
"Whatchu doing up ma?" Duke asked me.
"I couldn't sleep." I said. "I was gonna watch tv or something."
"You been up all night?" He asked rubbing his eyes.
I shook my head yes.
"Come here." He said stretching his arms out.
I laid down on his chest. This was his way of getting me to sleep; it worked for a couple of hours but that's it.
"Meerah." He said.
"Hm?" I responded.
"All jokes aside you know I care about you fr, right?" He asked.
I looked at him and said "Yes Duke I know."
"Aight I just had to make sure you knew." He said. "Now try to go back to sleep."
I laid back down and soon drifted off to sleep. ——— Hours later
It was now noon and everyone was awake. I was hoping I could get out of here soon.. hospitals make me nervous.
"Wassgood shawty." Duke said.
"Duke. I will pimp slap you." I said.
"I see the medicine wearing off. I can't say what I wanna say now." Duke said.
"How you feel?" Luke asked me.
"Fine. I feel fine." I said.
I was lying through my teeth.
"Nothing hurts?" Luke asked.
I shook my head no.
"When can I get out of here?" I asked.
"I'll go get the nurse." Duke said and walked out.
"Bestie." I said.
He turned around and lifted his eyebrows up.
"Why you not at practice?" I asked.
They really put they whole world on pause just to make sure i'm good. Trust me when I say they have a lot going on.
"And you." I said referring to Ryan. "You don't have to go train this morning?" I asked.
"I can train later. I'm making sure you straight first." He said.
