Chapter 1: Not like me.
"You really like him don't you?" asked Connor as he stood behind Abby beside Stephen's hospital bed. There was a slight hint of resentment in his voice but Abby never heard it, she just replied, "I don't know" and sighed as she stroked Stephen's head. She was too unsure of anything to answer that question at the moment. Anomalies, dinosaurs, races to the death and all in three days were a bit too much to take. But she knew she cared, she also knew she felt something else too. Hurt? That Stephen had forgotten that he'd asked her to have dinner with him, No, that wasn't it, Stress? Well with everything that had happened she wouldn't be surprised if it was. No, this was something she rarely ever felt, something that made it so that one particular thought could make her shake uncontrollably and feel her heart rip open. The one feeling she swore never to feel, worry.
Ha, after spending only three days with Stephen she was already worrying about him. 'This isn't me' she thought.
Connor could tell what she was thinking. He wasn't the brightest spark but he was definitely intuitive. He liked her, a lot. He also liked Stephen and both of them deserved to be happy. She'd been sat by his bed for two days without sleeping and each day he saw more pain and desperation on her face.
"CONNOR, WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE?" Abby yelled as an angry tyrannosaurus started to move towards them menacingly. " NOTHING, ALL I DID WAS POKE IT IN THE EAR" "well shut up and get help", she ordered. He ran as fast as he could back to their camp that they'd been using on their latest investigation. " Guys, Abby's in danger… big… big…tyrannosaurus" he blurted out.
Stephen jumped up, "Where is she? Is she ok? Take me there now" he shouted Connor signalled for him to follow and ran off into the forest towards Abby with the rest of the team following. Connor smiled to himself, Stephen's reaction had been just as he'd hoped and predicted. He wiped the smile off his face and ran faster than ever. When they arrived Abby was on the ground unconscious with the tyrannosaurus bending down over her.
