Dakota laid there for a while before getting sore and wanting to move. She sat up slowly, her leg not hurting as much and felt the soreness in her back and side where the stitches were. "That's gonna get old" She muttered, half hoping Nate didn't hear and worry. She sat on the edge of the bed for a moment, contimplating getting up. She placed most of her weight on her good leg, standing and gritting her teeth

"Never said you were stupid, handsome." She said, not daring to walk as her leg was getting increasingly more and more painful

Dakota sat back down and sighed, the pain starting to gain up her back. "It's just my leg. I'm fine" she said with a small wince

"It's painful" she said, not meeting his gaze

"I don't need anything and it's the same as the past few days. It just needs time" she muttered
