43. Together.
Nick's POV
On feeling a lot of movement beside me , I blinked open my eyes. It has been three days since Sophia was discharged from the hospital. Since then I have become a light sleeper. I was trying to be alert in case she needed something in the middle of the night.
I looked at Sophia to see her squirming , her eyebrows furrowed . Leaning on my elbow , I roamed my eyes over her body to find the cause of discomfort. Her face was scrunched up in what seemed like pain.
" Sophia , does anything hurt?" I asked only to get no response. Her squirming increased every passing second which was making me anxious. I couldn't wait for the pain to become unbearable and as I was about to get up to call the doctor , I heard her mumble something.
" No - please no.." My eyebrows creased in confusion. Was she asking to not call the doctor? But I didn't say it aloud . Then how-
My thoughts were cut off when she spoke again.
