Okay new story! Check it out!

Zoey's POV

I walked down the narrow hallway and to the informatory, a path I new all to well by now. I rounded the corner and again, like always, took a huge breath and opened the door. I new I still had one more room to go to and all, but I almost didn't want to, but I knew I had to. I hoped he was better than he was yesterday, I really hoped. I remembered crying all over two days ago, not being able to handle it, I remember having Shaunee, Erin, and Damien having to pull me from his room when he fell asleep again. I shuddered, not something I was glad to remember.

I put a smile on my lips on opened the second door to his room. I hated the smell and just the look of the infirmary, it was utterly repulsive. I turned around and stopped my inner blahs, and shut the door quietly. I turned around to have him smiling at me. "Hey, how ya feelin'" I asked quietly knowing he could, of course, here me.

"Oh, just fine and dandy over here" he said sarcastically and harsh. I knew this was partially my fault, if I had just... No I told myself, no more of that. I frowned at him and his a look of disappointment, not very well to my surprise. It also didn't help that he was physically eavesdropping. "Hey, I'm sorry, I don't exactly mean to be like this. I just- I'm sorry" he finished.

"It's not your fault" I spoke quietly, unsure of what to do.

Almost like he read my mind he said "Come here" and he motioned over to the hospital like bed he was laying on.

I stepped cautiously over to his side, the hesitated. He patted the side of the bed next to him and brought me down to sit on it.

He smiled a broken smile "You know, this is hard enough to deal with, without feeling like you don't want me anymore."

"Stark" I started to say, but he shook his head and brought me down on his chest.

"It's okay" he murmured over and over and I had to force myself not to cry, why my Warrior, why Stark. "Shhh" his whispered when I whimpered a sad little sound. Then we just laid there like that, a Warrior and his Priestess; even if he felt like he didn't deserve the title.

We sat there for a while until I regained my nerve. I forced myself to sit up and deal with things. "Stark, did they tell you the extent of the paralysis?" I knew, and they told me to tell him.

"No, what about it" he asked cautiously.

"Um, well your paralyzed from the waist down, and it looks permanent" I whispered, I did not want to be here, telling him this, but I knew I would never let anyone else ever do it.

He shook his head back and forth, they were little jerky movements. "No, this can't be happening to me" he whispered. I picked up on some of his emotions, confusion, denial, hurt, sadness, the feeling of letting me down, I could sense it all.

"Stark" I whispered and he opened his eyes to look at me. "I promise you aren't letting me down, you can get through this, I promise you that, and I don't break my promises" I said looking deep into his eyes, seeing the whole universe there.

"Maybe I don't want to do this alone though" he said quietly.

"You don't have to then, I'm here, I promise I will never leave, and I trust you with all my heart" I said strongly, without hesitation, I meant it and I wanted to mean it with all my

heart.

Then he asked the question that I was waiting for "How am I going to move around" he asked and this I had already thought through.

"Well we are having a wheelchair sent over here, it should be here tomorrow" I said.

"Okay" he responded, and I knew this was not what he wanted.

Then I heard a knock at the door, I looked to Stark and he nodded "Come in" I hollered and Aphrodite, Shaunee, and Erin came in. "What do ya guys need" I asked them.

They looked from Stark to me "Zoey, we got a situation. One of the students has busted into another's cubby and and stolen notes" Erin said, while Aphrodite snickered at the word "cubby".

"Okay, I'll be up in my office in a sec. I'll meet you up there, k" I said and Erin said a very chrippy "yep" and they left to go get whichever kid that is going to get in trouble.

I turned back to Stark as I heard the door close "You gonna be ok?" I asked getting up carefully.

He nodded "Go kick that kid's ass" he said then smiled my favorite cocky smile. I laughed, then leaned to kiss him quickly, but it ended up lasting about thirty seconds. I straightened up laughing, "I'll be back later tonight" I said and he nodded again and I walked to the door to go deal with some crazy kid who thought stealing was okay.
