Once again, right before she could finally rest her exhausted eyes, Cal was awake and coughing. She met him in the bathroom, rubbing his back as usual. The same thing seemed to happen. He fell bcak against the wall, almost fell asleep, until she managed to get him back to bed.

He stared at her with sad eyes and said, "Get a different room love."

She frowned and said, "Why?"

"You aren't able to get any sleep. I'm keeping you up day and night. You're getting bags under your eyes." He whispered.

"No, I'm fine." She said, shaking her head.

"Really, darlin'... I can take care of myself..." He assured her.

"No, Cal. Really. I don't mind being here. You are sick and you need someone here." She said, sitting beside him on the edge of the bed.

He looked at her and sighed, "No. I don't need anybody to take care of me. I need to take care of myself... as do you. You are sleep-deprived and won't make it much longer." He said with worry in his eyes.

She smiled and said, "I am glad that you are worried for me... but really Cal... I am perfectly fine. Now go back to bed."

"Not until you do." He said.

She sighed and said, "I will sleep... but in here."

He rolled his eyes and said, "Alright. But next time. Don't get up. Just let me take care of myself."

She nodded.

"Promise?" He asked.

"I promise." She said with a small smile as she got under the mountain of blankets.

.:.

He woke up about an hour later and stared at the sleeping Gillian. This was the first time she had slept in at least two days. He felt guilty for having kept her up so much. He slowly crawled out of the bed and took a shower.

He let the water pound down on his warm face and sighed.

After cleaning up he put on some clothes and walked to the front lobby where Tony was. "Hey, can I get a different room?" Cal asked him.

"Why?" Tony asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Does it matter?" Cal asked.

Tony shrugged and handed him a key, "I got a guy coming out tomorrow to look at the heater and phone stuff."

"Alright, what time is it?" Cal asked, turning to look at him.

"Um... one in the morning." Tony said with a yawn.

"Alright thanks." Cal said, walking to his new room. He walked in and stared at the wimpy amount of blankets, "Shit..." He whispered. He shrugged and started to feel really hot. "Really?" He asked with a frown. He pulled off his shirt and laid on top of the bed, not bothering to get under the covers, it was too hot.

He soon fell asleep, feeling as though he had double the blankets that he had had in the other room on him.

.:.

"So... you guys aren't dating or anything?" Collin asked, staring at Gillian.

"No we aren't." Cal whispered, looking at her longingly.

Collin looked at Cal and chuckled, "Oh, but you want her, do you?"

Cal bit his lip and turned his head, "Yeah... I do..."

"Go get that bitch." Collin said with another laugh.

"Don't... do that." Cal said, annoyed.

"Do what?"

"Call her a bitch." Cal said, looking at his brother.

"Ok, sorry." Collin whispered, patting his brother's back. "You are free... and Emily seems to like her. I'd go for it." He stood up.

"Wait." Cal said, grabbing Collin's arm.

"What?" Collin asked, sitting back down.

"I can't just... go for it. She's bloody precise and I don't want to be the wrong thing for her..." Cal whispered.

"Do you SEE the way she looks at you?" Collin asked.

"How does she look at me?" Cal asked.

"Wow, baby brother... and I thought you were the 'reader of faces'. That's what Terry told me. Sounds like a bloody scam." Collin laughed and crossed his legs.

"How does she look at me?" Cal pushed.

"Like she loves you." Collin said finally.

Cal stared at him and said, "No, really."

"I'm serious. Now I gotta run. Have a good day." He smiled and gave Emily a hug and was gone.

.:.

"Get out of my fuckin' life!"

"What did I do wrong?" Collin yelled.

"You start hitting on Gillian when you are already married to Lisa! You bloody bastard! You don't care about anyone, but yourself!" Cal yelled.

"That's not true!"

"Who DO you care about then? Why don't you enlighten me?" Cal yelled at him sarcastically.

"I care about YOU and DAD and EMILY and-"

"Stop right therre." Cal hissed, "You sure as hell don't care about me or Em. And we both know that you hate dad, JUST like I do! Don't try to make this seem better than it is. You tried to kiss her Collin." Cal reminded him.

"Who? Gillian? She was all for it!" Collin yelled back.

"Oh, I bloody doubt that. She knows that you are married Collin. And SHE is married for God's sake! She would do ANYTHING to you in any romantic way and you know it! You were all over her and then I caught you!" Cal yelled.

"She wanted it!"

"No she didn't!" Cal refused to believe that she would do anything with Collin while she was still married. Even if she WASN'T married... she still wouldn't.

.:.

Gillian woke up to no Cal and got up, frantically looking around. It was ten in the morning and he wasn't anywhere in the room. She walked to the front lobby and stared at Tony, "Where is Cal?"

"Cal?"

"The man I am here with." She said impatiently.

"Oh, I gave him a new room."

"WHY?" She asked madly.

"Because he asked for one. Here's another key. Go find him. Don't forget to knock." He said, rolling his eyes and stepping away.

She sighed and made her way to the other room. She walked in to see Cal curled up on the bed with no blanket.

She rolled her eyes and walked over, laying a hand on his bare back as she grabbed a blanket, "Holy shit." She whispered as his high tempurature.

He moaned and rolled around slighty, "No... sh sh sh." She whispered, rubbing his back, "Shhh..."

He calmed down and began breathing evenly again.

"Gillian!" He yelled shooting up.

"What?" She asked quickly.

"Collin was a jerk to you and I never asked you about it. I'm sorry. He was all over you when you were married and I never even apologized for him and I'm sorry..." He whispered, staring at her.

"What are you talking about?" She asked him.

HOw could she not remember? The fight rang like a bell through his head all the time. "When Collin tried to kiss you..."

"That was like... three years ago Cal... I don't care anymore." She whispered.

"Did you want it?" Cal asked.

"Want what?" She asked.

"The kiss. He kept insisted that you wanted the kiss. That you were all over him. That isn't true right?" Cal asked hopfully.

"No. It isn't. He was trying to kiss me and then you walked in and it was over. It doesn't matter anymore Cal." She said.

He stared at her and nodded, "Sorry."

"Why are you asking about that?"

"Because I was remembering the fight that I had with him after it happened." He whispered.

"Well... don't worry about it."

"Did you get some sleep?" He asked, taking a deep breath.

"Yes I did. Don't leave without telling me though. You could have at least left a note." She said.

"Tony is having some guys come today that he was somehow able to contact. THey are going figure everything out with the power and phone..." Cal said with a nod.

"Good. We need to get back to everyone else." She whispered.

He nodded again and said, "What now?"

"We wait..." She said, getting onto the bed and sitting beside him.
