The man helped Rafe up to the hospital where Evelyn sat there impatiently at her desk. She looked up the door to see the man helping Rafe up the stairs. She ran to the door and helped him in. "Rafe are you ok?" She asked looking at the blood stained shirt and shiny metal piece sticking out of Rafe's chest. "Let's lay you down," she said as she nodded to the man to leave and helped Rafe into a bed.
"My chest hurts a bit," he said in an arrogant proud sort of way.
"No kidding," she said pulling off his shirt. She got some rubbing alcohol and tweezers to remove the metal.
"Holy Shiiiiiiiiiit," Rafe screamed as she yanked the piece from him. "I'm ok," he said quickly recovered.
Evelyn quickly stitched and bandaged him up. "So what happened?" She asked as she finished up.
"I crashed, and left the plane before it burnt to ashes," he paused, "then I started here and passed out."
"Well you lost a good bit of blood there." Evelyn said as she got up off the bed. "I'm going to go call Danny. He's really worried about you."
"Whatever," Rafe said jealously.
She gave him an amused smirk as she dialed the phone.
"Hello," she heard Danny say uneasily.
"Hi, it's Evelyn. I found Rafe, he's at the hospital and he's going to be ok."
"I'll be right there," he said as he began to hang up.
"No," Evelyn screamed into the phone, "he needs to rest, come in the morning."
"Ok, I love you bye."
"Um, bye," Evelyn said. She didn't say she loved him because she was confused. The words 'um bye' rang through Danny's ears. He had told her that he loved her and got 'um bye' back! They both hung up the phone.
"Oooo, did he say he loves you?" Rafe said in a childish voice.
"That's none of you business." She said looking back at him.
"It's just where I'm from when a guy says he love's you, you not sayin' it back means somethin'."
She looked away from him. She walked over to the sink and got some soapy water and a sponge. "Let's get you cleaned up," she said as she sat down next to him.
Evelyn gently scrubbed his chest where dirt and oil infected his small cuts. "So," Rafe said looking up at her, "do you love him?"
She paused for a moment then placed her hand on her stomach. "I don't know," she said. Her eyes met with Rafe's again. His eyes weren't filled with the happiness she was used to seeing in them. Instead they were filled with pain, sorrow, and sadness. Rafe noticed hers weren't the same either, they were uneasy and nervous instead of her usual carefree ones.
"Ow!" Rafe said softly.
"What is it your stitches?" she asked putting her hand over it.
"You are so beautiful it hurts." He had once used this line when he had broken his nose and they had fallen in love.
"No silly, it's your wound that hurts." She said smiling going along for his amusement.
"No, it's my lonely heart." Evelyn tried to look away tried to say no but her love for Rafe had taken over her whole heart and the feelings were so different compared to those she had ever had with Danny. With him it was more young and innocent love but with Rafe it was serious romantic love.
She leaned over and kissed his heart, "is that better?"
"Almost," Rafe said the happiness coming back into his eyes. She gently rubbed his face and then she kissed him. It became more and more intense but Rafe pushed away. "I can't," he said gasping for air, "I can't do this to Danny he's my best friend and he loves you."
"You're a good friend Rafe," Evelyn said kissing him on the cheek, "you need to get some sleep."
"Good night," he said as he turned over and went to sleep.
