(A/N) Just to make this clear, this Fanfiction was never really meant to be written as if it's after a certan book. It's just random, I guess.
Just to give you all a little detail though, Nash and Kaylee are dating, and Sabine is still in the picture as Nash's best friend. I guess that's all you need to know, really. So enjoy the new chapter!
When I woke up, I found myself laying on an uncomfortable white bed in one of the many hospital rooms. Tod was sitting on the edge, desperately clinging to my hand. I slightly stirred, and he let out a sigh of relief when he noticed my eyes were open.
"Kaylee, you're alright!" He exclaimed joyfully. "You've been passed out for hours."
"Hours?" I asked, my voice deep and rough. My throat was dry, and it hurt to even swallow.
"I'll go get some water." Tod announced, as if reading my mind.
"Wait," I whispered, reaching out for his wrist. My hand went right through him, and I groaned. I looked down at my arm, where I now saw my cut had been closed up and freshly stiched. It hurt like hell.
"What is it?" He asked, sitting back down on the bed. "And don't move your arm to much. You'll tear the stitches." He scolded.
"I... I want you to stay here." I sheepishly responded, looking down at my hands.
"Wow, did you hit your head too?" He chuckled, leaning back against the wall, with his arms crossed over his chest. "Don't worry, I'll be right back. But for now, you need water more than you need me."
I scowled at him. "Not true. Just stay... Please?" I begged. "Water can wait. I don't want to be alone right now." I whispered.
Tod laughed softly, but I knew he was glad that I wanted him around.
"Fine, I'll stay for a bit. But just to let you know, I'm missing work for this."
I propped myself up on my good elbow and starred at Tod. "You're going to get yourself fired, you know."
He shrugged it off. "Whatever. I'm not going to get fired. I'm Levi's favorite." He stated proudly. "Plus, I never leave without making sure someone's taken over my shift."
I rolled my eyes at him. "Sure." I responded sarcastically. My face turned to confusion. "Where's Nash?" I added, and saw annoyance flash over Tod's features. Then his expression softened, and he looked away from me.
"Somewhere with Sabine. He never answered his cell, so if he's not with you then I'm guessing he's with her."
"Really...?" I growled. "He's with her again?"
"Woah, woah, Kaylee. A little jealous there?" He asked, chuckling. "Don't worry. I left a voicemail. He should be here soon. You know... He'd pretty much do anyting for you, right?"
"I guess so..." My voice trailed off. I looked back down at my hands, my face suddenly turning grim. Truth is, I was jealous of Sabine. I'd finally accepted the fact that her and Nash were friends, actually best friends... But, I still think he spends a little too much time with her for them to be considered just friends.
Tod put a finger under my chin and tilted my head to face him. "What's wrong?" He asked, concerned. Yes, he was acting very un-Tod like today.I thought to myself.
For a second, I sat there frozen. Lost in the faint swirling of his eyes. The mesmorizing blues and greens that he could never completely control. A small smile played across his lips, and he backed away a few inches. "Earth to Kaylee..." He joked, snapping his fingers in my face.
"S-sorry..." I stuttered, feeling a little embarrased.
"You're acting different today. Really unlike yourself." He muttered, looking at me. He seemed lost in thought.
"Me? You're acting different! You're like the opposite of yourself today." I laughed, sitting all the way up.
"I'm not acting different... You've just never seen the real me. I'm really good at hiding my thoughts, you know." He said, sounding pretty proud of the fact.
"Oh trust me. I know that." I said giggling. Did they by any chance inject me with meds? Cause suddenly, I felt really giggly. "Why don't you show me the real you then? Right now. I want to know what you're like when you're not hiding all of your emotions. " I bit my lip, smiling.
Tod hesitated for a while before answering me, and even when he spoke, he seemed uncertain. "Are you sure...?" He asked, as if he didn't already know the answer.
"Yes, I'm sure." I laughed. "Did I not make that clear?" Yeah, I was deffinately on some kind of painkiller, because this was not regular Kaylee behaviour. Tod muttered something under his breath, but I couldn't quite make it out.
"Fine." He said louder, his face still serious. He stared at me for a few seconds, as if he were mentally fighting with wether or not he should tell me. Or show me as I should say, because seconds later, he leaned towards me, sliding his arm around my waist. He tilted his head down and I realized at that moment that he was about to kiss me. The stangest thing though, is that I let him. I didn't attempt to push him away, or wiggle out of his grip. Instead, I tilted my head back, and let him continue. I blame it on the meds.
Seconds before our lips even touched, we heard someone clear their throat from across the room. Tod and I immediately broke apart, and stared at where the noise came from. I could instantly feel myself blushing bright red. The door was wide open, and Nash stood in the frame, arms crossed over his chest.
"Am I interrupting something?" He growled, eyebrows raised. He had an angry look plastered on his face, and I knew at that moment that I was screwed beyond belief.
I hope you all liked it! on reading! And, don't forget to review! :)
