I woke up and found myself lying on my stomach and on my couch. At first I thought that I had fallen asleep here but a cold hand touched my back. I screamed in pain and it retracted from my back. Suddenly a warm breath was by my ear.
"Hey, don't scream January, please." Nico's voice whispered in my ear.
I turned my head to face him and opened my eyes. He smiled slightly and put a hand on my cheek. I tried to get up but he pushed me down.
"I'm glad you look a lot better, but lay down please. Your back took a lot of blow from her. Remember she threw you across the clearing and your back hit that tree? Your back only started to bleed when I took the bark out of your shirt. Just lay still please, I have most of it out." He said and kissed my forehead.
I looked up at him and smiled, he really cared about me a lot. He put his hand on my back again and I winced in pain as it trialed up and plucked a few pieces of bark from my back. Every time one was taken out I let loose a sound of pain. He smiled and got the last one out. Then he put anesthetic on the wound and I winced in pain.
"Sorry, I hope you feel better Jan. I just want you to be okay." He said softly.
"Nico, wh-what are we going to do?" I asked hoarsely.
"I don't know, but you said 'we'. What do you mean by that?" He asked confused.
"I-I mean what could we, as in the whole group of us do, to stop from the world getting destroyed. Nico, please, I need to understand all this and I can't without you. Please…" I trailed off tired.
I yawned and he smiled. He put his hand on my cheek and kissed my forehead again.
"Sleep, you need it. Do you mind if I explain to the others when they get here?" He asked sincerely.
"No, But Nico?" I asked sleepily.
"Yeah January?" He asked and put his face closer to mine.
"Don't tell anyone I told you this, but I really like you. You're really nice to me and I really like that about you. Not everyone is nice to me." I said drowsily.
He smiled and planted a kiss on my lips. When he pulled back I stared at him shocked and pulled him into another kiss really quickly. He pulled back and smiled softly at me.
"Now you should sleep. I don't want you to stress your back too much. Just go to sleep sweetie." He said as I fell asleep to his melodic voice.
I woke up to a pulling on my back and more anesthetic being applied to my wound.
"Ow, mother fucking Hades that hurts." I muttered as it stung even worse.
I heard someone smirk and someone's lips press against my forehead. I opened my eyes and looked a Nico, who had kissed my forehead. Then I looked at Carlisle, who was just putting a bandage over my back. I just realized that I was without a shirt and in a bra and my jeans on my freaking couch. I moved my shoulders slowly and stiffly then shifted onto my side so that I could see everyone that was in the room.
I saw everyone from the clearing there and the Doctor. I groaned and covered my face with my right hand.
"Not what I wanted to see. And sorry Doctor, I didn't believe that you existed. Sorry…" I said and let my hand slide over my face.
"It's okay dear, you were scared and I understand that." He said and put a gentle hand on my shoulder.
"Thank you, I am so sorry I mistook you for some creeper. Nico?" I asked and looked at him.
"Yeah January? You need something?" He asked.
"Yeah, I want to go up to my room so I can get a shirt and changed into something other than jeans. Please?" I said and started to try and sit up slowly.
Nico nodded and put a gentle hand on my back. He helped me up to my room and I let him come in. I grabbed a clean t-shirt and pulled off my jeans. I grabbed a pair of running shorts and the t-shirt that said 'Creativity is my greatest Contribution'. I trudged to my bed and lay down on it with a sigh of relief.
"Thanks Nico, I just needed to get out of there and change out of those clothes." I said and put my head on my pillow.
He smiled and put a hand on my cheek.
"I'm just glad that you're okay January. Just try to take it easy. For me please." He said and kissed me.
I pulled him back before he could leave. His lips moved against mine and his arms wrapped gently around my waist. I had my hands entwined in his hair and he pulled away with a huge smile on his face. I smiled and hugged him. Just then my door opened.
"What is going on here?"
