GUYS I MESSED UP, in the last chapter I made it seem like Zuma doesn't know that Rocky likes him, I wasn't even familiar with my own story as I forgot to read the last chapter, I want to make it clear that Rocky & Zuma have a 'thing' for each other, sorry for the confusion ;-;
Zuma's POV
It's been a week since Chase's accident and everyone seemed to be dealing with it well... except Skye, ever since Chase was in the hospital she hasn't been the same, she wasn't the best friend that I knew anymore. She would constantly avoid us every time we tried talking to her or when we tried asking her to play with us, she mostly stays in her pup house and rarely comes outside only to eat or use a tree, we all worry for her health... mentally and physically! She looked like she's losing size and we're all scared for her.
Marshall and I was playing with the frisbee launcher while Rocky laid down on the grass watching us have fun,
"Go long Zuma!" Marshall screamed while pressing the button, the frisbee was launched at an alarming rate and I wasted no time chasing after it, my eyes focused on the frisbee slowly gliding in the sky as I tried my best to catch up to it. That was until I heard Rocky scream,
"ZUMA LOOK OUT!" Rocky screamed at the top of his lungs making me look down to see Skye walking in front of me, I tried to stop but I was going too fast and ended up colliding into Skye, we both tumbled a few feet away before stopping and the frisbee landed on Skye's head,
"Hehe... nice catch Skye." I got up first and held out my paw to help her up, Skye glanced at my paw then shoved it away and stood up for herself,
"Watch where you're going!" Skye shouted at me in annoyance before walking off, I just sat there with my head hung... 'Why is she like this?' I was deep in my thoughts until I noticed Rocky and Marshall running towards me,
"Zuma you ok? Are you hurt? Can you walk? Marshall get your EMT kit!" Rocky ordered Marshall with concern in his voice,
"No i'm alwight-
"ON IT!" Marshall yelled before sprinting towards his pup house, Rocky was examining my body trying to find any cuts or bruises. He ran his paw all over my body which ruffled up my fur and caused me to giggle at the feeling.
"Dude i'm fine, you can stop messing up my fuw now." I chuckled while pulling his paw away,
"Oh sorry... got a little carried away hehe." Rocky turned his face away hiding his blush, he shows his affectionate side to me alone and not with the other pups... but that doesn't mean anything right? Maybe he just cares for me a bit more that's all... I shrugged off the thought as I returned my gaze to the Cockapoo who was barely visible anymore still trotting away from the lookout, Rocky glanced at the dame direction and noticed what I was staring at,
"Don't worry Zuma, she'll be back to normal eventually." Rocky stated rolling his eyes,
"Yeah... I hope so." I replied with a sad tone in my voice, Rocky noticed and nuzzled me with affection making me blush,
"You'we a lot cawing today, whats up with that huh Wocky?" I questioned him with a raised eyebrow and a huge smirk,
"Uhh well you see- I... uhhh- LOOK THERE'S MARSHALL!" Rocky pointed to the Dalmatian that was sprinting towards us wearing his EMT outfit while holding a medkit, Rocky faced me with a nervous smile while pointing at the Dalmatian, I rolled my eyes while we stared at Marshall waiting for him to reach us, when he eventually reached he laid down his medkit and swiftly got out his items for a checkup,
"Dude I'm alwight it was just a minow fall." Marshall ignored me as he took out his x-ray and scanned me for any broken bones, I just waited for Marshall to finish with his checkup. Rocky just sat beside me with a smile which I choose to ignore with an eye roll, after a few medical procedures with Marshall he finally finished,
"Andddd done. Looks like you're alright Zuma." Marshall said while putting away his items back into the medkit, Rocky sighed with relief,
"That's a relief, glad nothing's wrong with my Zuma." Marshall paused and gave Rocky a very confusing glare, I myself was very confused on what Rocky said, we both stared at Rocky for a while until Marshall decided to break the awkward silence,
"Uhh... well I'm gonna put away my gear now, cya." And with that Marshall escaped the situation by fleeing towards the lookout,
"Well... that was something." I chuckled, Rocky just buried his face into his paws while I laughed at him,
"Come on let's go inside, i'm done playing with the fwisbee anyways." Rocky shyly nodded and we both strolled towards the lookout, upon entering we noticed Rubble and Siren watching tv on the flat screen,
"Yo Wocky, you feel something's going on between Wubble and Siwen?" We both raised an eyebrow at the two pups who was bonding together,
"Perhaps... but that's not our business, lets not intervene." I nodded to the mixed breed's comment and walked over to the beanbag behind the two pups who were too focused on the tv to even notice us walk in, I laid down and motioned for Rocky to join and he gladly accepted with a wagging tail, he snuggled beside me as his fur brushed against mines creating a weird tingly feeling that ran through my body, that was when Rubble spun around and noticed us behind him,
"Oh yeah guys, when did you come in?" Rubble questioned with a smile,
"We just sat down, you was too focused on the tv to even realized." Rocky stated rolling eyes which earned a giggle from me,
"Yeah yeah whatever." Rubble scoffed, "Have you seen Skye? I swear she was just here." Rubble asked while glancing around trying to spot the Cockapoo,
"Yeah I've seen her, she just left the lookout." Rocky replied, he probably noticed I looked away at Rubble's question because he gave me a comforting nuzzle which made me blush alot,
"She's probably off to the hospital." Siren said while keeping her eyes fixated on the tv, that was good suggestion the Shepard gave considering that its most likely true, Skye always visits the hospital nearly every day just to check up on Chase, everyone thinks she just cares about Chase's health and his condition but Rocky and I know the real reason... anyways-
We just continued watching tv with Rubble and Siren when I suddenly felt sleepy, I shifted my body getting even more comfortable beside the mixed breed, I exhaled deeply and settled next to Rocky while gently nuzzling his fur, then slowly I began drifting off to sleep,
At The Hospital
Skye's POV
"Stupid Zuma... stupid pups." I cursed under my breath, why do they always annoy me... asking me to play or come hang out, why can't they see that I just wanna be alone?! I sighed and took deep breaths which seemed to calm me down, I just want Chase to wake up...
I was wandering around the hospital lost in my thoughts until I bumped into a nurse,
"Oh, hey there Skye." The nurse waved with a smile, I was a bit shocked the nurse knows my name,
"How do you-
"You're here almost everyday." The nurse chuckled and patted my head, I walked alongside the nurse towards Chase's room,
"He's getting better you know... he'll wake up very soon." The nurse said with a confidential smile, I only smiled and did a backflip with a wagging tail, we walked for a while until we came upon Chase's resting room, the nurse smiled and waved as I opened the door and shut it behind me, I slowly turned around to see the handsome Shepard laying motionless on the hospital bed,
"Oh Chase..." I softly whispered, I hated seeing him this way, I wish he could just wake up and hug me... just tell me that everything's going to be alright. A tear slowly made its way down my cheek but I quickly wiped it, after a few sniffles I calmed down a bit. I leapt onto the waiting chair and curled up into a ball while I continue to ponder in my thoughts, the nurse said he might have amnesia... just the thought of Chase forgetting who I am, or Ryder... what about his job? His will to protect Adventure Bay? Will all of those memories be forgotten by him? I don't think he'll be the German Shepard I once knew and loved, I wish I told him about my feelings sooner, I rested my chin on the chair in defeat and was slowly nipping at the chair's material with my claw, suddenly my pup-tag lit up,
"Skye its's Ryder, where are you?" Ryder questioned,
"Oh sorry for not telling you but I'm at the hospital right now." I replied with my usual happy tone, there was a brief moment of silence before Ryder spoke again,
"Skye... come home please, I'm sure Chase is fine for now." Ryder softly spoke, I thought about disagreeing with Ryder... but he probably was right, sitting down here waiting isn't going to help him wake up faster,
"Ok Ryder, I'll come home" I said while letting go a deep long sigh, and with that the call ended, slowly pulling my paw away from my tag I wanted to go against Ryder's orders and stay... but I decided to just go home. I slowly got up sliding off the chair and strolled over to the door. I was about to open the door when I heard something that stopped me dead in my tracks, a voice echoed from behind me... a voice that I'm extremely familiar with that sent a cold shiver down my spine, I slowly spun around only to see Chase sitting up staring at me with a confused look on his face and his head tilted,
"Who are yo-
"CHASE!?"
