Chapter 59

Chapter Fifty-Nine
Sephie
I had no idea what time it was, or what day it was when I finally woke up. It was completely dark in the room, so I couldn’t tell if it was day or night. I checked the bed, searching for Adrik. No luck. Just me.
I vaguely remembered not being able to stand up before, so I slowly moved to the side of the bed. I swung my legs over the side of the bed and sat up. The room was stable so far. This was a good sign. I stood slowly. My legs felt weak, but I could stand up. Okay, I can do this. I took a few steps toward the bathroom. So far so good.
I had my arms out in front of me as I couldn’t see the bathroom door very well. I found the wall and felt my way to the door. I found the light switch and flinched when I turned on the light. That was a bad idea. I squinted to find my way around the bathroom and do what I needed to do. I stood in front of the mirror. My face was bruised, as I expected it would be, but it wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. I took inventory of my body. Adrik had put one of his shirts on me. I pulled it up. My body was multi-colored. I had bruises around my ribs and down my left side. Pretty.
I left the bathroom light on so I could see in the bedroom. I found a pair of panties, a bra, and a pair of shorts and threw those on. I did everything at a snail’s pace, but I could manage. I only felt a dull ache in my head as I moved around the bedroom.
When I opened the bedroom door, I could hear voices. I walked down the hallway, walking close to the wall to help steady myself. When I got to the end of the hallway, I could see Adrik and all the guys sitting on the couches. Adrik saw me and rushed to me, picking me up immediately. “Solnishko, what are you doing out of bed? Are you okay?”
“I’m okay. I feel better, somewhat. What time is it?” I asked, settling into his arms as he walked me to the couch.

Misha, with his wide smile, said, “more like what day is it.”
I looked at him, confused. “What do you mean?”
He looked at his watch. “You’ve been asleep for 36 hours now. You slept through the entire day, then most of the next one.”
“S hut up.” I thought he was playing a trick on me.
“It’s true, solnishko,” Adrik said as he kissed my cheek. He looked at me, brushing my hair from my face. He still had a look of concern on his face.
“What was in those painkillers?” I said scratching my head. They all laughed at me,
Misha asked, “are you still hungry? You said you were starving in the hospital. I promised to get you food once we got back here, but then you passed out for a day and a half.”
I thought for a minute. I really wasn’t hungry. My stomach did not feel right. I must’ve made a funny face, thinking about not wanting to eat, because Misha laughed. “I’ve never seen you turn down food before. What was in those painkillers??”
Ivan had gotten up to go the kitchen. He came back with water for me. He handed it to me and said, “start with this
first. If you can handle water, then you’ll be able to eat soon. If water is too much, then you need to wait a little longer for the drugs to leave your system.”
“Thank you, Ivan.” I took the glass and took a sip. Okay, I was really thirsty. I took a big gulp and Adrik pulled the glass from my lips.
“Easy, love. Go slow or you’ll definitely p uke it up.”
