Clumsy Girl pt 2

After the chicken I went to sleep. What else is one supposed to do while stuck in a hospital room. I also have suspicions that the hospital staff was feeding me sleep-inducing drugs through my IV because I normally don't just nod off like that. Next thing I knew someone was holding my hand and kissed it.
"She's asleep Kevin, and we don't want to wake her up. Rest means she heals faster. I'll tell her you stopped by."
"Mrs. G, I'm fine. I'll just sit here next to Aimus here." Kevin's smooth voice replied. "Besides, nobody else is home. I can stay a while."
"Visiting hours end at eight o' clock." My mom replied, leaving out the fact that she had talked the doctors and nurses into letting her and Aim stay constantly. "I know, Becky, you told me yesterday, remember? Has she woken up at all yet? It's been three days."
"She woke up earlier around 2. Had a check-up and some chicken and went back to sleep." Aim said as I heard him scoot over on the bench to give Kevin some room.
"Kev?" My voice was weak and groggy, but I managed to get it to work. "Kevin?"
"Yes dear, I'm here."
"How was work?"
"Same as always if you can believe that. Nobody tips anymore. No money to tip really, still sucks. How's my girl?"
"Fell... though as you were already here I'm sure Aim's shown you all the gory pictures."
"... Not really..." I glared at Aim in the light of this news.
"I'm going to go and see what's in the gift shop. Looks like Dex is doing all right for now." Aim said, looking down at the ground and to my mother, and then quickly leaving the area.
"Dex, why did you look at him like that?"
"Like what?" I asked innocently.
My mother pounded her hand into her palm and sighed. "I've got to have a cigarette, I'll be back. It.... looks like you're in... good care." My mother said reluctantly.
"I'll be fine. Not like I'm going to run away."
"That much is for certain. Try and get some rest." Then she turned to Kevin, "and don't you go and get her all riled up. She does need her rest." Then, without giving Kevin or me a chance to reply, she had left the room.
"They love you so much." I joked, gesturing with my eyes that I needed his help sitting up. Kevin reached behind me an lifted me up, letting me sit up a little more.
"Don't I know it. I take it you didn't know I had been here at all?"
"Aim said you were coming... nobody said anything about you already have being here."
"Well I was, soon as Aim contacted me. I'll give him that, he may see me as the opposition, but he did call me. You should have seen the look on your mom's face when I walked into the hospital room. It could not have been clearer that she was hoping to get you in and out of here without my knowing a thing about it."
"Would you stop it with this silly "Aim thinks I'm opposition" crap. He's my best friend. Always has been, and always will be. That's it. And he knows it. He just... doesn't get why I like you is all."
"Dex, you can't be that blind. He's crazy about you. Think of how many pictures he has of you."
"He's into photography and I have no life when you're working. That fact alone means that I'm a sitting model, just dying to be twisted and pulled to make his next greatest photograph."
"Ployboy model." Aim said laughing.
"I'm fully clothed in every picture."
"Bet you were not as covered in the pics he got of your fall."
"Oh yes, bloody arms and legs and heads are such a turn on." "You'd be surprised about all the weird fetishes out there. Anyways, as I have very little chance of seeing the pictures till Aim gets them on Facebook... how bad are they?"
"There's one that looks almost heavenly. It's when I first started falling. My arms are all stretched out, you know how I place them when I realize I'm falling. They are in that position and the camera angle was just so that you couldn't see the stairs, but you could see my feet and legs and they were tilting forwards. My face looks blank, somewhere between a scream of horror and a smile. So altogether it looks as though I'm falling peacefully."
"Sounds creepy Dex. Like something out of a horror film."
"It reminded me of Katie Bell in Harry Potter actually."
"Like I said, freaky."
"And there's another photo after I'd been falling a bit where it looks like I'm doing some kind of weird limp handstand on the stairs. My head in on a stair, slightly at a not-natural angle, but you can't tell all that much. My feet are above my head directly, but they are limp and dropping. My hands appear to be holding me up, though I"m certain they just landed on the ground first."
"Any other cool ones? I mean, if you can count photos of you scraping yourself up cool."
"Not really. Just a lot of really not-normal body positions till I'm finally on the lower-level landing. I look dead in that one. My head is all turned to one side, one arm across my chest the other twisted oddly above my head. The one arm that was twisted, you can see a red stump, which from what I've been told was the bone in my elbow, all covered with blood. What you can see of my face is all scratched up and bloodied too. My jeans miraculously were not torn, but they also had drops of blood here and there on them. I was passed out at that point."
"Dang Dex. I'm going to forbid you to go near any stairs for the rest of your life..." Kevin said, brushing my overgrown bangs out of my face. "I'll let you go to college, provided you get a ground-level dorm room and only take classes located on ground level, then I'll marry you and buy a one-level house in which you will clean and raise our kids, all without going by any stairs."
I laughed. "Seriously Kev, I'm the world's clumsiest person. Even if I never saw another stair again, when I'm cooking I have to deal with boiling grease, knives, forks, hot stoves..."
"Then you can't cook! I'll get us our own personal chef!"
"Then I'm sure I will still have to go out to buy stuff, in which case I'll be driving a car, with an untold number of other cars also running here and there, not to mention there's a "step" to get into the car..."
"You know what Dex, I figured it out. You will just be on bed rest for life."
"Kevin! I don't think I can even stand this week. It's only day three."
"You've been passed out for two days."
"Joyous. So the whole one day I've been awake has been an eternity." I sighed. If Kevin had his way this was just the beginning.
"I'll keep you entertained. And I can get you all the pizza you want."
