Next morning:

8:46 AM

"Hi." Awsten rasped, reaching over and hooked his arm around my waist. "How are you feeling?"

"Um, it just feels stiff." I shifted on my side. "I also hate sleeping on my back."

"I think after last night you should be okay to sleep normally. You know when the doctors around?"

"10 when the class starts."

"I can't believe you guys have your own doctor at the studio."

"It's like a football team." I laughed and scooted closer. "Never know when something will happen, they also do stretches and stuff too. It's not like they're sitting all day bored."

"Well I'm sure it's not every day someone does something to their ankle either."

"True," I hummed and put my head on his chest. "I'm really sorry about last night. I shouldn't have...if you don't want to go to that party, we don't have to go. We can do something else. It makes sense that you didn't tell me since you didn't really want to go."

"Yeah, but I get why it's important to you."

"But I don't want to force you into things either or like..." I thought for a minute, tapping my fingers against his chest. "I just feel kind of stupid for being mad about that now."

"I think we can go to dinner and have a nice time together, pop into the party for a few minutes this way I just show my face, then we go back to your place and chill. We don't have to stay at that thing long. How does that sound? Nice compromise?"

"Yeah," I nodded quickly and lifted my head, pressing my lips to his. "How swollen are my eyes?"

"They're not bad." He shook his head and brushed back my hair. "You just look tired."

"I am tired." I sighed and put my head back on his chest. "What am I going to do if a tore something?"

"You didn't."

"But what if I did?"

"Then we figure it out together." Awsten shrugged a little, still playing with my hair. "I love you."

"I love you," The words came out of me easily as I let out a deep breath. "How'd you sleep? Okay?"

"Yeah, I had a really weird fucking dream though."

"Yeah? What about?"

"I was just running in circles in this dark room and I couldn't get out. I guess it was sort of a nightmare. I woke up at like three am and fell back asleep."

"I'm sorry. That sounds awful."

"Yeah, was not a fan of that one." He kissed the top of my head. "We should get up and get ready then to head out and get coffee before we take you to the doctor."

"Will you come in with me?" I asked timidly. "I swear one of these days you'll get sick or something and I'll return the favor."

"Of course I will," Awsten laughed a little. "I'm not going to let you limp into the doctor's office alone."

"I'm really nervous."

"It'll be okay." He wrapped his arms around me in a hug. "We'll get you that nice coffee before you go."

"The only clothes I have to pick from is what I have here." I sat up and stretched, watching Awsten too as he got up beside me and did his own little stretch after he stood up.
