I'm thinking about posting these in story format instead of individually. But I haven't decided yet. And I feel kind of weird putting "romance" as a caterogry for this stories, but oh well.

I'm not sure how I feel about this one but here it is anyway.


The second it happened Jade felt like tearing the girl a new one. Both Jade and the girl rushed to Cat, the basketball rolling away, forgotten. "I'm sorry," the little blond said.

"Are you okay?" Jade asked at the same time.

Cat got up. She had fallen on her knees and instinctively moved her hands in front of her to not fall on her face, landing on all fours. She was torn between rubbing her throbbing head or her stinging knees. She decided rubbing anything wouldn't help since her hands were scraped too and would only hurt. Tears were stinging her eyes but she wouldn't cry. Jade saw Cat's knees and shot the blond a dirty look, which was missed by the girl since she was looking at Cat and apologizing. "It's okay," Cat reassured her.

"We should go to the nurse," Jade said and completely disregarded the other girl.

She gently took Cat's wrist and walked her to the nurse's office. She noticed Cat wasn't walking normal. "Do you want me to carry you?" Jade offered.

Cat smiled. She could walk the rest of the way but she loved piggyback rides. She nodded. Jade smiled and bent down. Cat carefully got on her back, so they wouldn't topple over and so her injured knees wouldn't graze against Jade. Jade groaned as she lifted herself and Cat up. Cat wrapped her arms around Jade's neck. Jade bounced them all the way to the nurse's office, which was located inside the main office. She got a weird look from the woman behind the main desk as she walked over to the nurse's opened door. When she was in the door frame she dropped Cat off. Cat walked in and the nurse immediately saw what was wrong. She told Cat to sit on the bed; Cat did as told. Jade stood in the doorway watching. As the nurse walked to one of the counters to get the supplies she would need to clean and bandage Cat's knees, she looked over at Jade and told her she could sit on the chair that stood across the counter and in front of Cat. She walked in and sat down. She watched as the nurse wiped the dirt from Cat's cuts and then applied antiseptic on them. She finished by putting big square band aids on Cat's knees. She told Cat it might be more comfortable if she left her hands without band aids; Cat nodded. The nurse walked over to the supply counter again and grabbed a lollipop. She walked back to Cat and handed the candy to the little girl. Cat's beaming smile appeared on her face. The nurse smiled at seeing the little girl smile. Cat had been a good girl, she hadn't cried or argued or fought her. She even kept her hiss in when she had applied the stinging antiseptic. She looked at Jade as Cat got up from the bed to leave. The girl gave her a sad look. She didn't say anything but the nurse knew Jade too wanted candy. She grabbed another lollipop and gave it to Jade. The dark haired girl too brightened up.

Once the girls were outside of the offices and they walked back to the playground Jade lifted her candy to Cat, silently offering it to her. "You don't want it?" Cat asked, her words a little jumbled as she was already eating hers, the handle sticking out of her mouth.

Jade shook her head. "I got it for you."

Cat smiled and happily took it. "Thanks," she said.

She forgot all about the pain she previously felt.
