The City Of Astan

Louis

I watch him leave before sitting down and taking Sam's hand again, "You okay?"

Sam

I nod, "Yeah...he's just like that."

Louis

I sigh, nodding, "When's the last time you saw him?"

Sam

I think about it, "I think I was fourteen or something."

Louis

I nod and kiss her forehead, sighing.

Sam

I shift where I lie and sigh, "How long do we have to stay here?"

Louis

"Until they say you can leave," I say, brushing the hair back from her forehead.

Sam

I frown, watching him, "Aw."

Louis

I flash a smile and nod, kissing her cheek.

Sam

I sigh, the doctor walking in. I blink a couple times as he speaks, "You can go. But...make sure you change the bandages every other day. Try not to get them wet. And don't do anything athletic. Be supervised," He says. I nod and sit up, wincing as I do.

Louis

I stand and help her sit up, flinching when she winces, "Just take it easy."

Sam

I look at the doctor, "What about my foot?"

He sighs, "It's bandaged. Like a cast. You can walk on it."

I raise an eyebrow and stand, balancing myself on the wall.

Louis

I take her hand, supporting her, and watch carefully as she tries to walk.

Sam

I stumble, holding onto Louis, and the doctor exits the room. I take a deep breath before practicing walking, pacing myself around the room unsteadily, "It hurts," I whisper to myself, stopping to look at Louis, "Ready?"

Louis

I sigh and nod, "If you are."
