Terror in turns
Chapter 2
I'm sorry if none of you really like this but I decided to do a really random pairing. I have noticed how Michael kind of looks at Nicki, I don't know if any of you have noticed this too or if my mind is playing tricks on me but I decided to do it anyway.
I'm sorry if it's too long or not what you wanted to happen.
The smell of coffee and soap hit them both as they walked through the automatic doors. They made their way past the coffee shop and through the doors at the end of the corridor which led them to the start of the hospital wards. "Do you know where we're going?" Nicki asked Tom. "Yeah, just a second." He pulled out his phone and opened the text he just got.
"Ward 7 room 8" He put his phone back in his pocket. He looked at the signs around him and said to Nicki "It's this way." and they both made their way to see Michael.
Before they even walked in the room they could see Michael sleeping in the hospital bed and Sian sitting in a chair beside the bed. "Should we leave them?" Nicki asked Tom and him being the nice, kind and thoughtful person he was he replied. "I think we should." but before the even could make their way out of the door frame Sian had turned around and was now facing them both. "I'm away, I need to get home...can you stay with him, and if he wakes up please phone me." "Yeah sure." Tom said as Sian made her way over to them both. "Why don't I walk you out, I need to get something out of the shop because I haven't eaten." "That would be lovely." Sian replied to Tom. "I'll stay here with Michael, I'm sure he'll wake up sometime soon. He's a fighter." Nicki told them both. Tom and Sian made their way out of the room of corridor.
Nicki made her way over to Michael and sat down in the chair where Sian was sitting only a couple of seconds before. She wasn't really the best of friends with Michael but they did get along. She felt something move below her fingers and she looked round and saw Michael and his big blue eyes staring back at her. "Michael...you're awake." She stroked his face and smiled. "How long have I been out for?" he asked her. "Well they had to do surgery to remove the arrow, so only about a couple of hours. You haven't missed much...yeah, someone got shot with a crossbow...oh wait, that was you." she replied. He laughed at the last bit, even with all the trouble the school had just been put through she found humour in the darkest of places.
He pushed himself up into a sitting position. "Nicki, can I ask you something?" While standing at his beside with her hands on the metal poles she replied "Yeah, what's up?" "Come here." he asked her. She took a step nearer to him. "Closer." She leaned in and was only a couple of centimetres away from his face "Yeah." He could feel her sweet, sweet breath on his face and neck." He cupped his hand around her face and gently rubbed her cheek. She was shocked that Michael felt this way about her. "You are the most beautiful person I know, both inside and out." He then moved his mouth and placed it on hers, giving her a gentle kiss. She stood there for a couple of seconds trying to get through her mind about what had just happened, Michael had just kissed her and told her she was beautiful, did she like him? She didn't know. She needed to think about it. She felt a presence behind her, She turned around to see Tom staring at her with an open mouth. "Tom." She whispered. He fled back down the corridor he came from. She turned back,"Michael." "Tom." she shouted as she tuned away from Michael and bolted out the door.
The rain was really heavy when she walked out into the car park, She was sure she saw Tom come out here. She looked left...then right, Nobody. Then she saw a bench just a couple of feet away from her that was illuminated by street light. There she saw a man, the man she needed to talk to. Her hair was dripping wet and she was shivering, she stood behind him and whispered "Tom, I'm sorry for what you saw, It was Michael...he came onto me, I just had a lapse of judgement and kissed him back...I'm so sorry." Tom turned around. "Come here." He said as he tapped the bench beside him. Nicki sat down and Tom grabbed her hand. "You're freezing." Nicki sniffed, there was big black mascara stains on her cheeks. Tom placed his jacket around Nicki's shoulders and wiped some of the tears that were making their way down Nicki's cheeks. "What's wrong." He asked. "I'm so sorry, I was just trying to get you jealous." Nicki replied. "Why?" he asked her. "Because I thought that If you thought I could get Michael that you would want me more." "You don't need to make me jealous I already love you, I just didn't know you felt the same way." She stroked his face. "I do...I do." she whispered. They both moved in, the passion erupted and so did the thunder and lightening.
While all this was happening Michael was looking out into the carpark from his hospital bed. He saw Nicki run out there a couple of minutes ago and now, he was seeing...Nicki passionately kissing Tom. He was shocked, he had just kissed Nicki and told her the truth...the truth that he loved her but she had just thrown that back in his face. He knew he couldn't waste his time chasing after her and that she had already made her choice. He couldn't change her now.
They both spilt from that earth shattering kiss and he asked her, "Are you sure this is what you want?" "I'm sure...I want you and nobody else." she replied. "Should we go back and see him?" Tom asked her. "No." she replied "I think he's got the idea...let's go." Nicki grabbed his hand and led him into the direction of her car.
