Videl POV
My eyes felt like they were glued shut. Voices that I did not recognize whispered my name and said things like miracle and survived. When I finally gathered enough strength I opened my eyes and squinted at the sterile hospital lights. A small blond nurse in her lat twenties hovered over me. Well at least I seemed to know where I was but my memory was still a little foggy.
"Glad to see your awake miss Satan."
"Glad to be awake, how did I get here anyway?"
"That Sayianman guy dropped you off, sounded real concerned and then left without another word, said the nurse with a sigh and a grin plastered to her face. You're very lucky to have a guy like him."
"A-as I-if I stuttered."
"Well you lost a lot of blood miss, you should be glad to be alive. It's a wonder really but you are the daughter of the great Hercule!"
"Yes I am."
"Do you remember what happened?"
"I don't know, I replied honestly."
"The doctor will be with you shortly, if you need anything just ask."
"Thank you."
"Oh I forgot to mention you have a group of your close friends here to see you."
"What about my father?"
"He's in a tournament at the moment; I can only imagine how he will react."
For the first time in a while I laughed. "Yep oh and you can send in the visitors now please."
"Of course, said the nurse and with a cheeky smile she left."
Did I make the whole thing up? How much of it was real? I should have known it was just a dream especially that well last part where I kissed my crush. Though I suppose it makes sense that I would want it to be him. He's so nice and smart and respectable, especially with girls. I can't even believe I'm actually thinking about him! Who am I falling for? Most of all why do I have the feeling that something is watching me?!
A knock at the door interrupted my thoughts. There stood Sharpner, Erasa, and out of all the odds, there in the corner of the door way was Gohan…with flowers.
Are those really for me? Wait why is my heart rate speeding up?! Get a hold of yourself Videl! No one scares you and certainly not a boy, no matter how cute he maybe!
"Oh Videl you poor thing, I hope those bad guys rot in jail forever, how could the do this to you? Erasa cried in a chatty tone.
"Calm down Erasa I'm fine honest."
"Videl your in a hospital bed, said Sharpner. When I find these guys they'll wish they were never born, nobody hurts my girl!"
"Sharpner I'm NOT your girl and I don't think those goons did this to me."
"We all heard on the news that a powerful blast was fired that split the building you were on in half."
"Oh Videl why did you have to be a hero again?! I thought I said to be careful, said Erasa."
I smiled up at my friends. "Wait how did you guys know so fast? The news doesn't come on til two hours after I was fighting."
"Why don't you thank Mr. Smarty pants over here, Erasa replied pointing to Gohan. He was the one who came after class to tell us you had been hurt, heck he even knew the hospital you were staying at."
"Really?, I said in a suspicious tone. My eyes locked on Gohan but he seemed so fascinated with the hospital floor.
"Hey baby I have baseball practice in a minute but tell me when you get out of this ward okay?"
"I'm not your baby either but I promise to keep you guys posted."
Erasa and Sharpner nodded and began to walk out. That's when I saw Gohan begin to follow them.
"Um Gohan could I talk to you for a second? It was not a question but a demand."
"S-Sure Videl."
"Okay start talking Gohan."
"Videl I don't know what your talking about?"
"I'm talking about how you knew I was hurt and what hospital I was staying at before anyone else."
"I well you know I um…"
"Is it so hard for you to give me a straight answer?!, I said crossing my arms angrily."
"N-No Videl! It's not like that at all!"
"Then what is it? Are you following me?"
"What?! Of c-course not!"
"Then what is it?"
"I just was worried about you okay? If anything happened to you I…"
"You what?"
"I um, Oh! I brought you some flowers, he said handing them to her."
"Roses? A little forward don't you think?"
I'll admit it was amusing to see Gohan's face go from a ghost white to a dark crimson color. A burst of laughter came from my throat followed by a laughing fit.
"Relax Gohan I was only teasing although not to say you aren't cute, I quickly shut my mouth realizing what had just escaped my mouth."
I saw Gohan's eyes grow wide and a blush crept on his face along with that trademark grin. When my own face began to heat up I quickly looked away.
"You really think so Videl?, Gohan said in a cheerful tone."
"I—"
"Oh I almost forgot I have something for you. Hold out your hand."
Obediently, I stretched out my hand and it met with his. A flutter of a heartbeat pounded in my chest. Gently he placed a small object in my hand and I glanced down.
"A bean?"
"It will help with your injuries but you have to eat it."
Now my first instinct would be to throw the object on the floor but something about his voice made him sound genuinely concerned for me. The crazy part was that I believed him, that I trusted him.
Slowly I raised the hand in the air and popped the bean into my mouth. My eyes shot open with surprise as I felt my body tense up and began to shift. My major wounds became minor scratches and my broken bones mended. I flexed my arms and legs just to make sure this wasn't a crazy dream. Laughter and joy poured through my veins as I jumped up and down in my bed and began to cartwheel and summersault through the room. Gohan smiled got even bigger if that was possible.
"Wow this is great, what was in that stuff Gohan?"
"Well I—"
"Never mind about that the point is I'm cured thanks to you, Gohan son."
Gohan began to blush like crazy again so he just looked away.
"I'm glad to hear it but I have to go, I'll see you in class Videl, he said as he waved and then took off."
"Gohan…but he was gone."
Darn it how does that kid always escape me so easily?! Oh well I suppose I can let this one slide but just this once!
Sighing heavily I went back to the bed and read the note on the rose bouquet.
Hey I know I'm not good with words but I hope these will help.
Feel better soon.
-Gohan
Maybe he wasn't so bad after all. Another knock came from the door as an old man in a white coat came forward.
This must be the doctor. I'd better pretend to be injured before I cause him to have a heart attack. No needs for the Doctor to become a patient now do we?
Smiling she put on her best in-pain look before letting her thoughts drift and carry her away.
