Holly J opened her eyes. She sat up quickly to find herself in a hospital bed. It was bright, a morning, and she was forced to squint.

Adam had been solving a crossword puzzle in a book that a nurse had brought; he looked over to Holly J and smiled, "Well, it was about time you woke up."

"What day is it?" moaned Holly J.

"It's Thursday," answered Adam.

Holly J gasped. Not at the day of the week, but at something she had just vaguely remembered.

"Adam, the surgery! What happened?" Holly J asked, about to panic.

"They were about to give me your surgery. Luckily they realized it before they had gotten into it. My surgeries have been put off til tomorrow," Adam calmed.

Holly J breathed a sigh of relief. Adam just giggled.

"So, can you stand? Or are you feeling sore, or what?" Adam asked.

"Uhm, I don't know. I think I can. But I really shouldn't do anything before the doctor comes in.

Adam nodded, "Yeah, probably."

There was an awkward silence between the two. Adam went back to his puzzle book and Holly J just looked at him. He noticed.

"W-what are you staring at?" Adam asked nervously.

"Oh. Well? There's not much else in this room to stare at." She snickered.

Adam smiled, "I guess not. If you were closer, we could do these together." He held up his pencil and puzzle book.

Holly J smirked. She reached over to pull from the nearest bed, sending her bed rolling in its direction. Using her arm strength, she guided the rolling gurney slowly but surely right next to Adam's.

"You were saying?" Holly J said cleverly.

Adam just smirked and put the puzzle book in the small space between them.

"Hey Sadie!" Dave said forcefully as he approached his girlfriend. She was in her corner, reading a book.

"Oh, hey Dave!" she greeted happily.

"Why didn't you come to dinner last night?"

"That was LAST night? Oh my goodness, Dave, I'm so sorry!" She stood up.

"Yeah, well. I don't think it's working out anyway. It's over," said Dave punctually as he turned and walked away.

Sadie was left standing there, watching him leave.

"What makes you say that?" Adam asked, as if Holly J was silly.

"Well, look! The clue is Blue, blank! Not Blue, blank, blank! Besides, the Smurfs movie just came out!"

"Well, Smurfs doesn't fit into the number of spaces. But guess what! Man Group does! It's obviously Blue Man Group!"

Although they were arguing, Adam and Holly J were laughing and having a good time. Holly J couldn't remember the last time she had let go and just had fun like this. Neither could Adam.

"Well, just skip it, and go to the next one," proposed Holly J.

Adam put the book down, "You know what, I think we're done; you're terrible at this," Adam joked.

"Pssht, boy, I'm going to Yale in a few months; don't tell me what I can't do!" Holly J joked back.

The two laughed, and sighed at the same time.

"Yale, huh? That's pretty top notch." Adam said, becoming more serious.

"Yep," Holly J nodded, "The plan was to go to Yale and forever be with Declan-you know, Fiona's twin brother, but-"

"I didn't know she had a twin brother!" Adam cut her off, a bit surprised.

"Oh, wow, really? That's surprising." Holly J said.

"Come to think of it, I don't know much about her at all. Our relationship consisted mostly of makeout sessions." Adam said, a bit sadly.

"Well, I really don't think it was a healthy relationship anyway. For either of you." Holly J admitted.

"The only girl I can get to like me turns out to be using me for her lesbian desires. I think any relationship would be healthy," said Adam, half joking half serious.

Holly J put her hand on his, "Hey now, I told you. Fiona never meant to hurt you. And besides; that's the least of your worries now, right? You've got the big operation coming up."

"Is this your idea of easing my stress?" Adam laughed, looking at her.

Holly J laughed back, and looked him in the eyes. There was a soft moment of watching each other, before suddenly, the doctor walked in. Holly J and Adam quickly move apart, both blushing like mad.

"Oh! You're finally awake. You're free to go anytime you like, I'll bring your mother in," the doctor said. Holly J nodded.

"Doctor, when do I go in for my surgeries?" Adam asked.

"Uhmmm," the doctor checked his clipboard, "I can have you in the operating room in a few minutes."

Adam smiled, "Great!"

The doctor smiled back and left the two teenagers sitting awkwardly beside each other.

"I guess, I'll see you in three weeks.. HJ." Adam smirked.

Holly J smiled, "Yeah, I guess so. I wish you luck on the operation."

Adam smiled, "Thanks," he said, just as a nurse came in and gave him a shot of anesthetic without saying a word and rolled him out. Holly J could see that he was holding up a peace sign to her as he left. She smiled.
