ok, I know that I haven't updated in the longest time-i dont even remember the last time I wrote for this story- so I understand if you hate me and have gone on with your life. BUT, for people who (hopefully there are some) forgive me, here's the next chapter. Yeah, it's kinda short and it may not be well-written, but I hope it's not so bad your eyes will start to bleed.


"Are you okay?" Sarah asked as she walked up to Elliot's bedside. He had been taken to a nearby hospital, and after getting a cast on his right leg and a bandage on his head, the doctors allowed him to return to the school campus, but he had to stay in the infirmary for a while.

Elliot sat up. "Yeah, I'm fine. I just have a headache."

"If it helps, you looked awesome."

The boy smiled. "Who won?"

"Some kid named Chad. He-"

Mrs. Hayfield, the school nurse, came back in. "Head down, Mr. Murtaugh."

Elliot did as he was told. "So how were classes?" he asked.

"Long." Sarah sighed. "When are you coming back? I'm in need of a science partner, and right now all I have is Jake."

"I didn't know he was that bad."

"Let's just say he nearly blew up the science lab. He's always been pretty sucky at science."

Elliot shrugged.

"Who visited you besides me?"

"Todd and Emily. Oh yeah, and my family. "

Sarah noticed that he seemed quieter today but figured it was probably from his headache.

"You know," Elliot said. "We still haven't finished those surfing lessons. Once I'm out of here, we can continue."

Sarah laughed and playfully hit her boyfriend in the arm. "So you can be the hero again?"

"That was just bonus." He grinned.

"Are you allowed to get up and stuff?" Sarah knew it was a dumb question even as she said it.

"No, not really. I mean, maybe. I haven't really asked."

They asked the nurse who replied "not for a few days."

Sarah stared at Elliot. His hair was not gelled today in its usual spikes, which made it kind of wavy. They talked for a few more minutes until the nurse-who just loved to ruin fun moments, in Sarah's opinion-remarked that Elliot needed his rest and that Sarah should probably get done with her homework. Elliot waved goodbye with his left hand (the one that wasn't broken) and said he would see her tomorrow, to which Sarah replied "Just maybe" playfully and walked out the door with a wave.


Well?

Oh and by the way, if anyone is a fan of the NBC series Chuck (which I am and yes, I am obsessed with it) I'm in the middle of writing (so far on paper) a fanfic.

-Happy MLK day.
