No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Susie grabbed my arm, "Licia, how are you feeling? Anything hurts?"

"No, the doc said I'm as sturdy as an oak tree, not even a scratch," I lied.

I held her hand, "Susie, I'm just really tired, I want to get some sleep. I'm fine, really. You should head home."

"Licia, I'm not leaving. I'll stay with you, and so will my brother," Susie dragged Ernest over.

Ernest came closer, his gaze landing on my face, but this time I turned away.
