Respite
The only problem with having to hold the scraps of cloth against me was that I couldn't put an arm around Lizzie. Half of me wanted to do it just to have my arm around her, the other half was feeling just terrible. I'd never been in a fight like that, ever, so I guess that was why I was so damn tired.
I tested my shoulder again, and the second I moved it, it flared, and I winced.
"Ugh. Guess that one got me better than I thought."
I wiggled my eyebrows at Lizzie.
"Maybe I need a little TLC after that shower."
We were back up in the room a few minutes later. I pulled another pair of pants from the closet and looked up. Guess it was way too late to be shy about her seeing me put on clothes, huh? I dropped the rags and put a hand against the wall to steady myself.
Why was it so hot in this room?
I put one foot into the leg, and my vision swam for a second. It was way, way too hot. This wasn't good.
"Lizzie..."
The world spun, and I fell to the floor with a heavy thud.
((Open to Lizzie.))
