Sorry for the wait. Enjoy and review!
I went with everyone to work, just grateful that I was alive, which is something that I never experienced before. I just walked around silently observing everything. I wasn't bored at all. I actually found it fascinating. Before I knew it, lunch rolled around.
"Do you wanna go get lunch?" I started making my way to the cafeteria.
"Sure." He stopped me from going any further.
"No, I meant do you want to go out to lunch? Just you and me." Why was he being so nice to me?
"Sure"
During lunch, he told me about all of these crazy stories of what happened during all of his years of working at Sacred Heart. He filled me in about all the people that worked there. Over all, we had a good time. We were at the hospital parking lot when my smile finally faltered. Chris had a ring on his finger.
"When did that happen?" He hesitated a bit before telling me.
"Knox, we got married in April." I faked my concern and replied as nonchalantly as I could.
"How come I wasn't invited?" I couldn't keep up my facade and I started to tear up a bit.
"To be honest, I didn't think that you would want to come." I was bawling by then.
"Why didn't you think that I wanted to be there for you? Chris! You are my brother!"
"Technically, you didn't miss the wedding. I came late..." I couldn't believe him.
"You were late to your own wedding?!"
"So we had the reception and there was a patient of mine that was a priest and we rushed to the hospital right before our flight for our honeymoon. He married us and nobody witnessed it. At least you're here now. You can be the baby's godmother." I lit up instantly.
"I'm gonna be a godmother, I've got to go celebrate!" I ran through the hospital with joy and I just had to share my excitement with someone. JD was the first one I saw.
I had just gotten out of lunch and all day I was thinking about Knox, that woman was full of surprises.
"JD!" She ran into my arms. I was kind of caught off guard, so I stumbled a bit; but I held her.
"Guess what?" She looked adorable, like a kid who just opened their first Christmas present. Plus, she was warm.
"What?"
"I'm gonna be a godmother!" I smiled at her excitement.
"And hopefully I'll be a godfather." I hadn't noticed how close we had gotten, but I liked it. Our lips barely touched and the Janitor just had to ruin it. The song "Heat of the Moment" was blasting out of the boom box he was carrying on his shoulder. Since when did he carry a boom box?
I really wanted to kiss her, but the irony of the song had startled her.
"Don't tell Chris... Carla!"
She took off running towards her sister in law.
I liked being in his arms, but that song was telling the truth. Carla was my only way out of this awkward situation.
"Carla!" She looked confused.
"Did I just see you and Bambi hugging?" Was she high?
"Who's Bambi?"
"JD." I waved it off.
"Yeah, but it was just a hug. I'm glad you chose me to be the godmother." She looked pissed and I'm tellin you, nothing is scarier than a pregnant woman.
"He just told you? Come with me." As if I had the choice, she grabbed my wrist in an iron grip. I wonder if women get stronger when they're pregnant.
We walked to the room where the doctors and nurses came to relax and surely enough, there was Christopher.
"Turk, how come you never told her when I asked you to?" Instantly he came up with a lie.
"I forgot?"
"I just don't understand why you wouldn't tell your sister out of all people?" Carla could just see the tension between us and decided to leave.
"Knox, I didn't forget to tell you about the wedding or the baby. I didn't tell you because I didn't think that you'd care. I was going to tell you about the baby and if I told you that, there would be no way to avoid telling you about the wedding. I realize that I started this chain of lies and I'm sorry."
I had forgiven Chris for his lack of interest in me. After all, I had been a bitch my whole life, but I think the accident had changed me. Plus, there's not much a girl can say no to after some Coldstone, back scratching and a good laugh. I was grateful to have a brother like Christopher.
I was confused about JD. He was like a magnet and I was so attracted to him. It was insane. All of my past boyfriends have been kinetic only. Sure, I've only really known JD for a week now, but he seems like the sensitive type. That's very new to me. All of my male friends and family members have always been tough. The environment that I lived in didn't allow me to be around sweet guys. Not after high school anyways.
JD and I have been distant ever since that awkward moment a couple of days ago. He's good at ignoring people, but I'm not because I'm not because I've been staring at him non-stop.
"Is she still staring at me?" I leaned against the nurse's station with my back turned to her, talking to Ted.
"Oh yeah." I nodded as if we were having a vital conversation.
"Good."
I don't know what I did to him, maybe I was too forward.
"Hmm. I see you're checking out JD." I turned to the chipmunk faced Elliot Reid.
"Excuse me?" For some reason, I just did not like her.
"I just wanted you to know that he's the sloppy seconds of yours truly." I wanted to gag.
"Do you know by any chance why Knox is being so quiet lately? I know my sister and my sister is not shy." I knew exactly why, but I wasn't going to tell Turk.
"I have no idea." I wanted to get off this topic ASAP.
"If it weren't for her arm, she'd probably be throwing a party on the roof right now. Are you sure you don't know anything?"
"I DON'T KNOW OK!"
I know I had no reason to yell at Chocolate Bear like that, but he made me feel guilty. I needed to take a break.
The feeling of wind blowing through my hair has never failed to be my thinking element. After a while, I decided to lay down on the rooftop and watch the clouds pass by. My eyes were closed as someone chose to join my silently. The wind wasn't blowing my way anymore, so I gave up my charade and opened my eyes. It was JD.
"Hi, Knox." He sounded forced.
"Hello Johnathan." He winced as I said his full name.
"I guess I deserved that." Ok, now I'm really confused.
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that I'm sorry about this whole situation and then ignoring you. Turk's worried." I just had to laugh.
"Chris is worried because he's never seen his baby sister in such an odd state before. I get timid when I'm emotionally concerned. Not a lot of people know that. As for you, don't feel sorry for something that didn't happen and probably never will. Kudos to you, for not leading me on."
