“um…” I thought “…I’m her girlfriend…” I spat out

“ah…I see…well when she’s stable and we feel she’s ready to leave we’ll prescribe you the insulin and needless…she’ll need two shots a day…”

“how long will she be here?” I asked him

“probably three days or so…” he told me “…we’ll go over how to give her the shots as these three days go by…but for now you can go see her…” he told me

One of the nurses led me to her room

“can I lay with her?” I asked the nurse

“absolutely…just watch the IV on her right arm on top of her hand…” she told me

************************

I woke up feeling a warm body next to mine in the middle of the night realizing it was Spencer…I just smiled to myself, then around nine in the morning I woke up again taking her hand in mind on my chest and she woke up

“hey…” she said smiling at me “…when did you wake up?” she asked

“middle of the night…” I said weakly

“you scared me…you know that…” she told me

“I scared myself…” I told her “…I don’t know what happened…I just…”

“ash…the doctors told me what was wrong…” she told me simply getting tears in her eyes

“what? what’s wrong?” I asked scared

“with the heroine…you went into insulin shock…you’re diabetic ash…” she told me

“no…no I’m not I mean…”

“you need shots twice a day…”

“you aren’t kidding are you…” I said simply putting my head back trying not to let my tears roll down my cheek, but no avail…Spencer took her thumb wiping a tear from my face

‘I’ll take care of you ok?” she told me

“you promise?”

“with all my heart…” she said kissing me softly only making her promise more true then she got up “here I’ll let you have the bed back…” she said

“please stay with me…like in here…” I begged her then she pulled up a chair next to the bed and held my hand in hers

“I love you…” she told me and I smiled at her

“I love you too…”
