*Chapter 15*

Alea looked in disgust at the dish in front of her. "What?" Scott asked her, laughing slightly at her face. "This is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen." Alea answered not taking her eyes off of it. "Well sorry, but that's the only thing your allowed to have"Scott answered while drinking a coffee and picking up his bagel. "Why can't I have that?" she asked pointing at his food. "You know why. Now eat up. If you don't eat they can't take out the I.V" Alea continued to make a disgusted face as she stirred the mush around in her bowl. She wasn't allowed to eat anything solid since she hasn't eaten anything in days. Plus, since her lung was still healing she couldn't have any liquids, just in case any of it got in her lungs. The nurse had told Alea that it was toast and jam, but after being pureed it looked gross. They even had to add a powder to her milk, so it was thick, she had yet to eat anything. Scott had made the arrangements to be placed in her own room the night before, and early this morning she was moved into it. Scott had called the guys to tell them her room number earlier that morning

It had been 30 minutes since Alea's meal had been given to her, and she still hadn't eaten one bite. It was on one of those hospital tables with wheels, and everytime she thought Scott wasn't paying attention she'd slowly move it away from her. Scott continued to read his magazine as he quickly placed his foot on the base of the table so she could no longer push it. "Scott that's no fair, how'd you know?" Alea whinned. "Eat" he said with a small smile on his face as he went back to reading. "umm" she sighed in disapointment.

Alea was just about to place the first spoonful in her mouth when she heard. "We're here, and we brought presents!" Just as the guys walked in Alea stuck out her tounge at Scott and pushed the table away. She quickly shot him a sweet innocent smile, and she turned back to the group entering the room. They were all smiling and laughing, and for the next 5 minutes they were taking turns hugging Alea. "So how are you?" Jessica asked. "I'm feeling good still a bit sore though if I take deep breaths but the doctor says that's expected. But Scott's being mean" Everyone looked at Scott "Alea don't try getting me in trouble you have to eat it" Scott told her

The guys gave a bag of clothes to Scott, and when he went to change they gave their presents to Alea. They had got her ballons, flowers, cards, teddies, candies, books, cd's and the girls had brought Alea some pajama's so she wouldn't have to wear a hospital gown.  "Wow did you guys buy the whole gift shop?!" Alea said shocked at the amount she had gotten. "Wait a sec, we're not done yet" Sean said as he gestured to J to go and get something. J went to a duffle bag at the door and pulled out something. "Guys you shouldn't have" "This is a present from all of us, we even bought a cell phone for you, and we got you special permision to use it while your here" Abs told Alea as J handed her the laptop. "This way you can keep in touch with your family and Keesha" "Thanx guys" Alea said while hugging all of them again. Scott then walked out now dreesed into comfortable clean clothes. He saw the room was totally covered in things and saw Alea holding a computer. "Oh thanx guys get her all this stuff and me nothing" Scott said sarcastically. They all laughed at Scott's comment. "But" Scott said as walking to Alea "Alea isn't allowed to use this stuff" he grabbed her laptop "Untill she eats!!" he placed the food back in front of her. Everyone laughed as Scott and Alea argued for a few minutes. Finally Alea gave in and put a mouthful in her mouth. As soon as it was in her mouth her face became all squished up, just like it would if you were eating something super sour. She swallowed deeply and jokinly gave Scott the evil eye as she continued to eat.
