I woke to the sound of rubber shoes squeaking against the pale blue, gray-specked tiled floor. The nurse was making absolutely no effort to be quiet. I waited until she left to open my eyes, and found that Lend was still in my uncomfortable hospital bed with me, and was in his water form. Oh… that reminds me… I need to tell him he's immortal soon. But, I think I'll tell him when the time's right. And here, the time would be wrong.

He has his eyes open, and was staring at me, his gaze unmoving and still. I grinned, because I loved that the first thing of the day I saw was him. Am I in love with him? I should tell him sometime…

"G'morning, beautiful." He smiled and leaned down to kiss me, but then stopped when his lips were brushing mine, and whispered, "How're you feeling? Better? Because, if so, they're going to let you out today. And you can come home." At that, I leaned closer to him and mashed my lips against his with a quiet groan.

We stayed like that for a while: kissing, hugging, groaning, laughing, touching, until a nurse, the same squeaky-shoed nurse, could be heard coming down the hallway. I stiffened but Lend just fell silent and stayed at my side, completely invisible to the nurse that has walked into the room.

"How ya' feelin', Hun?" The nurse said. She had an annoying voice. One that almost made me want to slap her, but I restrained myself, since she had begun taking out the needle from my wrist.

Lend leaned over and kissed my cheek absently and silently when I winced as the nurse pulled the needle out. It had begun bleeding, so, she took a small Hello-Kitty out of it's Band-Aid wrapping, and patted it onto my wrist with her barely-gentle-touch.

After that, the nurse checked my monitor for… whatever she has to check for. She scribbled some things into her clipboard-binder-thing and headed off without a word.

"She's not very social, no?" Lend said, and I chuckled. It felt great not having a needle in my wrist, but it felt even better when Lend brought my wrist to his lips and kissed it.

Eventually, I shook my head with a small giggle. I'm going to be let out today! Yes! I smiled like a complete idiot, who seemed way to happy to be going back home, going back to school.

"You're excited, hmm?" Lend smiled at me. "Me too. I can't wait to get out of this hospital. I want to go home, and have regular food, maybe a shower, and not to mention a good nights in my own bed. Meh, or maybe yours, I wouldn't mind, just as long as it wasn't one of these lumpy pieces of crap." He rambled on and on like that for a while until I finally told him to 'shut up' by kissing him quickly.

I pulled back slowly, but his head followed mine, still wanting to kiss me. I let him though, I let him kiss me the same way he did last night. The French Kiss. I liked that kind of kiss, it was something I could never get bored of, like Lend.

The nurse walked in with her binder and pen. Lend and I had still been kissing then, both of us tangled up on my uncomfortable hospital bed, laying on our sides: hands interlocked with each other, legs on top of one another's, and our lips, well, of course, inseparable.

The nurse made a small noise of surprise, and rushed over to us, trying to wedge a hand between our faces. "Abstinence! Abstinence, please!"

We both groaned, and moved our heads back, staring up at this nurse in complete resentment. I noticed that Lend was wearing his dark-haired, dark-eyed hottie face. I grinned at him in response

The nurse, I noticed, rolled her eyes as us as she scribbled things down onto my medical form. A few minutes later, she spoke up.

"Alright, Evie. I left you some clothes on that chair. Your boyfriend and I will leave so you can get dressed. When you're done, leave your gown on the bed. Then come and check out. After that, you can go home, okay, Hun?"

I nodded. Lend proceeded to get up. He walked slowly behind the nurse, purposefully falling behind. Once she was out the door, he ran back to my bed and planted another firm kiss on my lips. The nurse, though, came back and grabbed Lend by the ear and towed him out like that.

I chuckled as I got out of my uncomfortable bed for the first time in three days. I first stretched my legs out, then my arms, groaning loudly all the while.

"Well, hello, Evie, My Love." Said a golden voice from behind me.

My face flushed to red in fury as I recognized the voice of Reth.

"You know, it's not very kind to ignore a guest, My Sweet." Reth came up behind me, as close as he could get without touching me. His voice came hot at my ear. "If you don't let me fill you, you'll end up like Vivian. Cold. Alone. Empty." As he spoke, his head hovered above my shoulder, and I should feel his warm breath on my neck.

"Do you really want to be alone like her forever? Can you imagine your precious Lend, leaving you for another girl, since you'll be stuck in a coma like Little Vivian?"

I stepped forward, away from that stupid fearie, and picked up my clothes. I completely ignored his existence, and proceeded to take off my hospital gown and toss it onto the bed, then begin putting my clothes on. When I turned around, there was no one there, thank God.

I, then, opened the door slowly and walked out into the hallway, where Lend had been waiting. He swooped me up into his arms and gave me a spinning bear hug, and muttered in my ear, with a hot tone of voice, "I can't wait until we get home."

Yeah. Me either.

I'm sorry it took me so long to make this chapter. :L I've been somewhat busy, and somewhat slacker-ish. I'm sorry guys, though, I think, if I think hard enough, that, I'll get the fourth chapter out in a few days. ^_^ And, plus, any ideas you have for me, guys? ^_^
