Chapter 5- Decisions
A/N- Sorry this chap. is soooo short, it's just that you guys haven't been reviewing, hint! Hint! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A blinding light over top of me kept me from opening my eyes. My entire body ached and my head was pounding. I tried to open my eyes again, only to be blinded once again by that stupid light. I groaned and clenched my fist only to find that something was in it, something that clenched back. I heard a groan coming from beside me and then a cool and gentle hand glide across my forehead. "Are you awake Syd?" a familiar voice said close beside my ear, Vaughn's voice. Vaughn?!?!? My eyes flew open and low and behold, there was Vaughn. Deep circles arched under his emerald eyes which danced in the light, his face was etched with concern and I wished that I didn't bring so much pain to his life, but if he kept on insisting to help me then it was his fault.
"Hi" I said softly, trying to squeeze his hand but pain shot up my arm and I winced.
"Are you okay?!" he asked quickly looking at my arm. I turned my head to see and there was a bandage wrapped around my elbow and the whole thing came flooding back, the room, the chair, my mother, pain, Vaughn.
"I'm okay Vaughn, don't worry so much, where am I?" I asked and looked back into his eyes, those eyes that I couldn't, shouldn't look into.
"We're at a CIA hospital, don't worry, SD-6 thinks you are on vacation."
"Good, my God, my arm hurts, how much blood did I lose?" I asked and grimaced again.
"You lost about 1/3, it's amazing you didn't die Syd." Vaughn said.
"How didn't I die anyway? Where did the extra blood come from?"
"A donor, someone with AB negative blood came in and gave it to you, it's a miracle that we found someone!" Vaughn said, but I could tell that he was holding something back and I had a feeling I knew what it was.
"It was you wasn't it. You should know better than to keep things from me, I can always tell when you aren't giving me the whole truth." Vaughn looked down at the floor, rubbing the place where the needle took his blood, I could see the corner of a Band- Aid peeking out from under his rolled up sleeve.
"Yeah, it was me, sorry." He said in a small voice, which made me smile.
"No, don't be sorry, thank you. I didn't know you had AB negative type blood, that's pretty strange because that is a really rare kind."
"Yeah, that's what everybody else said." Vaughn said and smiled his heart- melting smile. "But enough about that, go to sleep Syd, you need to be ready to go by tomorrow. We're heading back to L.A. in the afternoon."
"Okay night, night Vaughn" I said groggily. I saw him get up to leave and I said something that I probably shouldn't have, "Don't leave me, I don't want to be alone!" He turned to me and smiled.
"Okay Syd, I wont leave you" and he sat down next to the bed. I fell asleep with his hand in mine.
