Everything slowly comes back as you begin to move. You try to sit up but there is a big pain in your neck and you feel a strong hand force you back down, gently.
You hear Jason's voice as you put your head back down. “Don't get up just yet, you should rest a bit still, Sara.”
You open your eyes and see that you are laying on the couch and Jason is hovering over your with a concerned look on his face. You lift your knee up a bit and see you are still wearing a dress. You notice that your shoes are off as you let your foot glide up the couch, propping your knee up.
You try to ask what happened but it hurts to talk, and only a whisper comes out.
“You probably shouldn't try to talk either. You took quite a tumble, Sara. After you fell, your...uh, house put you here. It told me that you would be fine, but you may be a bit sore. When you fell, you twisted your neck but its nothing serious. It wont even leave a bruise but it will be a few days before you'll be able to speak normally.”
You try to take this all in but its a bit overwhelming.
Jason is silent for a bit but then speaks up. “Oh, right. Uh, my name is Jason, I'm a friend of your brothers. He asked me to come over but I guess hes not here. You might want to just rest a bit longer so I guess I'll go.”
Jason is getting ready to leave, but you can't let him go without you. You reach out and grab his hand looking pleadingly up at him. He looks down and gives you a sweet smile and you force one back at him.
“Would you like me to stay with you a while longer?” Jason asks, sounding a bit hopeful.
You nod and he sits down next to your legs. As he settles down, you feel the warmth of his back as it unintentionally drags your dress up a bit and slides against you leg. You put your propped up leg down again, and it grazes along Jason's back. Much to your chagrin, you realize that it feels kind of nice. You also realize that you never let go of Jason's hand and now he is rubbing it in a comforting fashion.
