Beth opened her eyes, the room was cloudy and Toby stood over her, looking worried.

"Beth, are you alright?" She reached up and put her hand on her pounding head. How long had she been out?

"Fine," She struggled to stand and fell down painfully. "Uh, I think." He extended his hand and she gripped it. He pulled her to her feet. He led her over to the bed and she sat down heavily on the edge of it. "I feel sick." She moaned, clutching her stomach. Toby gently brushed her long, black hair out of her eyes. A very human gesture, but sweet. Toby never did things like this.

"Beth I'm worried about you, you don't look so well."

"The roses,"

"Yeah."

"I gave them to you."

Beth's face turned red with shock, as red as those roses. Sadly, she wasn't able to think straight,

"I have to go!" She said and ran out of the room, nearly running in too the door. Beth darted into her room and slammed the door shut and walked over to her bed, tying to keep clam. She touched her lips slightly, do I love him back? She wondered
