My head was going to explode. It felt that way anyway and I could not ignore my body pains any longer. The weight of my eyelids was too heavy. It was too much of a chore to keep them open.

Chapter Fifty
Eleven hours. That is how long he had been sitting by my bedside. Nine o'clock that morning was when I woke up with him beside me and by eight at night he still had not moved.
After I fell asleep that morning, he moved a chair to the side of my bed and he had not left since. Not once did he even move in his seat.
Stone was still motionless in his seat as he continued to watch me type harshly on my laptop. Over the hours, it started to feel like a game between us. I would not move and he would not either.
To avoid his fixed stare, I decided to get out my laptop and continue writing the book that I had started a year ago. I had been hitting my keyboard all day and going at a supersonic speed to distract myself from him.
I stole another glance to the side, and I could see that he was still watching me. I let out a deep breath before I focused my attention back on my work in progress of a book.
I had written twenty thousand words in the space of the few hours, and I was at least quarter of the way finished to completing the whole book.
We had not talked since the morning. Not since our disagreement. He was making everything too hard. He was not leaving and all I wanted to do was talk to him and have his arms around me.
Just as I was about to give up and say something, a knock at the door stopped me.
I sat forward and crossed my legs while placing my laptop to the side as Mrs Lewis and another male walked into the room.
The middle-aged man that I did not recognise walked up to the bottom of the bed and read the chart while introducing himself to me "I am Dr Gus. It is nice to meet you, Miss Miller."
"It is nice to meet you too." I smiled before letting out a small laugh "Even if I really do not want to be here."
At my remark, Dr Gus let out small laugh before he got serious "Your results from your scan and blood test are back and everything looks normal. There is nothing that looks concerning. You are an extremely lucky girl given the severity of your crash."
Lucky was the last thing I felt.
The doctor continued "All of the cuts on your body should heal over time. Some of them might leave a slight mark but I doubt they will be noticeable."
I let out a sigh of relief "So I will not always look like the bride of Frankenstein?"
