Falling For You by K Lime (leveled readers .txt) 📕

“Could one of you hold her hands away please, she may begin to try and move when I start these.”

Stephen looks at her step dad before stepping over and taking his mate’s wrists in his hands and kissing her forehead.

“Sheamus?” Krissy asks dazed.

“Yes babe, I’m here, we’re at the hospital, they’re going to do stitches can you try and be still for me?”

“Yeah.”

“She’s out of it.” Her step dad says.

“She’s coming around really well.” The doctor responds as he finishes unwrapping the wound.

“Stephen?” Krissy asks confused.

“Yes love?”

“Am I gonna die?”

“No, you’ll be just fine, now just relax alright? This is going to hurt a bit.”

“Hold her.” The doctor says.

He starts to stitch the wound closed and Krissy cries out in pain as Stephen and her step dad hold her down. The doctor makes quick work of it and soon Krissy’s side is stitched up.

“It’s alright Krissy you can relax now.” Stephen tells her kissing away her tears.

“She’s going to have to stay a few days in the hospital, but her friends will be allowed to see her.” The doctor tells them.

“When will she be moved to a room?”

“We’ll have her moved just as soon as we can get a nurse in here to move her.” The doctor and nurse leave and Stephen looks at Krissy’s step dad.

“This is certainly awkward.”

“Yes it is.”

“So you’re her mate?”

“Yes sir.”

“Don’t call me sir, call me Nelson.”

He holds out his hand and Stephen shakes it before returning back to Krissy.

“Stephen?”

“Yes?”

“I told you.”

“Hush you. Rest.” He leans down kissing her softly.

“Do you want to go tell everyone that they will move her to a room?”

“Can we wait until we move her?”

“Of course.”

A nurse walks in and smiles at them.

“Hello guys, we’re ready for her to be moved if I can just get you both to step aside so I can unlock the wheels?”

They move over and let her unlock the wheels and remove the IV from her arm. They maneuver the bed into the hall and down to the elevator. They go up to the top floor and they go through the halls until they reach a large room with three couches and a few chairs.

“This is where we usually only keep the richest patients, but with who you are, we made an exception.” She says to Sheamus.

“Thank you.”

He lifts her carefully onto the bed and helps the nurse get the bed back into the elevator down the hall. He returns to the room to see Krissy playing with her pillow.

“What’s wrong dear?”

“I’m bored.”

“Would you like to watch some TV?”

“Sure.”

“Hey Stephen? When was the last time either of you two ate?” Nelson says looking at them.

“Lunch today dad.”

“I think I’m going to go order us a pizza or two while Stephen goes and gets your friends.”

“My friends?”

“A lot of people followed us here.”

“Is Chance here?”

“Yes.”

“Can I see your phone?”

Stephen pulls out his phone and hands it to her. She dials Chance’s number.

“Hello?”

“Hey Chance, it’s me I’m in a room.”

“You have to stay?”

“Yea but the room is real nice. Come on up.”

“Room number?”

“Hold on. Hey could you guys see what the room number is?”

Stephen sticks his head out the door and looks before stepping back inside.

“2269”

“We’re on the 22th floor!?”

“Yes.”

“Wow. Ok Chance, 2269.”

“Be there in a sec.”

Her step dad gets off the phone with the pizza place and sits in one of the chairs.

Krissy lazily grabs the remote and flips through the channels until she finds a show she likes.

“Scoot over you.” Stephen says cheerily.

She scoots over a little in the king sized bed and laughs as he gently picks her up and moves her over enough so that he has room to lay beside her. He steps around and takes off her shoes before removing his own and placing them beside the bed. The door opens and the large group from the ER files in piling onto the couches and the floor.

“Hey girlie feeling better?”

“Chance, it’s been an hour, no.”

He smiles and sits on the edge of the bed beside her. She talks to a few people and before the pizza arrives, the group has diminished plenty. Now only Chance, Krissy, Stephen, Nelson, Celeste, Stevie, Victoria, Jasper, Ash, Ayre, Matt, and Daniel remain.

“So, what happened to cause that nasty thing?”

“I caught the edge of somebody’s blade.”

“Lovely.”

“Hey, we tried for no weps.”

“We did.” Chance says softly before hugging his wife again.

They eat their pizza quietly with small bits of chatter. Ash and Chance are the first to get up.

“Alright well, we can’t stay much longer Krissy, Chance has to work.” Ayre says hugging her.

“It’s fine Ayre. Be careful on the drive home.”

She hugs the couple and Ash before they walk out the door.

“Now it’s just us nine.” Krissy chirps happily

“What medicine are you on?” Daniel asks curiously.

“They gave me a shot and an Iv before you guys got there, and that pill on the way up.”

“Lovely.” Jasper adds.

“Speaking of lovely. Celeste, why were you girls fighting?” Nelson asks his daughter.

“Jackson asked for our help to take out Pain, we agreed to help.”

“Did he pay you?”

“Of course.”

“How much?”

“$200 to each member who helped.”

“How many of your group fought?”

“16.”

“That money, you can either ask for it back from your group or you can pay for it yourself, but it will be going to Sheamus.”

“Nelson, why?” Stephen asks.

“You’re paying for my daughter’s room. It is the best I can do.”

“Daddy that is 3,200 dollars.”

“I know it is.”

“I’m not giving up that much.”

“Then pack up your things and get out of my house.”

“Fine. I’ll get the money.”

“Celeste?”

“Yes?”

“I love you.”

“I love you too dad.”

“Come on, it’s time to go home, you have school tomorrow, actually all of you do.”

“I called in and told my boss my mate was in the hospital.”

“You’re HER mate?”

“No, I’m just in bed with her because your virgin sister is a slut.”

Krissy pops him on the arm playfully before returning back to the show.

“I did not need the attitude dude.” Celeste huffs angrily before walking out of the room.”

Nelson walks over and hugs Krissy.

“Get some sleep sweetheart, I’ll bring you some clothes in the morning.”

“Night dad.”

Nelson leaves and the group is left with just 7 of them now.

“Krissy do you want me to run and get you some pjs?” Stephen asks her.

“Can you please?”

“Alright. Will you guys stay with her until I get back?”

“Yea sure.” Daniel, Jasper, and Matt answer at the same time.

“I take it you girls aren’t staying?”

“Huh? No I plan on heading out and Tori has a curfew in ten minutes.”

“Alright. Keep a close eye on her boys.”

Stephen kisses her one more time as he puts on his shoes and walks out the door with the two girls. The four sit there quietly watching TV. Jasper falls asleep on Daniel and she and Matt talk for a little while. Stephen comes back in twenty minutes with a pair of shorts and a shirt for her and a change of clothes for himself the next day.

“Are you staying with me tonight?”

“Yes dear.”

“Do you guys mind if Jasper and I stay?” Daniel asks.

“Sure just crash on the couches.”

“Mr. Farrelly?”

“Yes Mr.McAllison?”

“May I stay?”

“Why are you asking me?”

“You’re her mate, I’m her ex.”

“You’re also her friend. You can stay too. I’ll wake you for school in the morning.”

Matt gets up and walks into the bathroom.

“Hey Matt, stay in there for just a few minutes.”

“Why?”

“I’m putting on pjs!” Krissy shouts back.

“Ok.” He answers.

Stephen smiles and looks at the sleeping couple on the couch before helping her get out of her clothing and into his shorts and shirt. He strips himself down to just his boxers and folds their clothes placing them on the table before sliding into the bed under the covers with her.

“You can come in now.” He calls to Matt.

Matt walks out and lays down on the couch. Krissy shuts off the TV and cuddles against Stephen before falling asleep herself.

“Hey Stephen?” Matt calls in the darkness.

“Yes?”

“Be nice to her.”

“I will.”

Matt nods before closing his eyes and rolling over to drift to sleep himself. Stephen smiles before cuddling up to his mate, careful not to hurt her side, and falls asleep.

Sheamus looks down at his watch and shuts off the arlarm before swinging himself out of the bed. He carefully wakes up the sleeping boys on the couch before walking into the bathroom to change. He brushes his teeth and his hair before walking into the bedroom area.
The boys are all gone and Krissy is sleeping. A nurse walks in and stares at him.

"Yes?" He asks rather impatiently.

"You um..."

"I'm here, this is my mate, what do you need?"

"I just came in to see if she is awake and check on her stitches."

"Can you come back when she wakes up?"

"I'll be back in about 30 minutes"

She turns and walks out the door and Stephen looks at Krissy. He leans down and kisses her softly. She surprises him by kissing back.

"You're awake."

"Yep...I'm hungry."

"I'll go get us some breakfast the nurse will be back to fix up your stitches in a bit."

"Do I need to get dressed?"

"Your dad hasn't stopped by yet."

He turns and walks out of the room and down the hall. Krissy attempts to get up and cries out in pain as agony rips through her upper body. Apparently she would not be going to the bathroom on her own.

She reaches over and pushes a button for assistance and lies back. A little older nurse with black hair walks in.

"Did you need anything dear?"

"I can't get up on my own and i really really need to go to the bathroom."

The nurse steps into the hallway and says something to another nurse who comes in. They help her up and into the bathroom before standing outside the door to wait for her. She hurriedly takes care of business and washes her hands. She clutches her side tightly as she walks out of the restroom.

"Are you alright?"

"They hurt."

"One hundred and eight stitches is going to hurt."

"What?"

"You can see them when we change your bandages."

Sheamus walks in and sets the trays down on the table as the nurses help her into bed. They smile and leave as he thanks them.

"Somebody is awake." He jokes as he hands her the food.

"I had to pee."

"I could have helped you before i left."

"I know. I didn't think about it."

He props a pillow behind her and steps over to his own meal to eat. Her step dad walks in about 2/3 of the way finished.

"Heya kids what's up?" He asks setting down the large bag.

"Did you bring my whole dang closet?"

"I have your hair supplies, clothes for a week, make up, pjs, a few snacks, your ipod, and your phone and ipod chargers."

"Wow."

"Did you need anything else?"

"You didn't get my tooth brush and tooth paste?"

"That's in here too."

"Stone?"

"They wouldnt let me bring him in even if i did."

"Whose Stone?" Stephen asks curiously.

"The puppy Matt gave me for our year aniversery."

"How old is he now?"

"Two years."

"Oh."

Her dad sits down and turns on the TV the couple finishes their meal and stacks up the trays. The nurse walks in carrying a box.

"Hey, good you're awake now. I just need to change your bandages, clean those stitches, and give
