At the Hospital

"Tell me a story."

"Umm, Ok, once upon a time there was a.....Kitten, and..she was very little..and nobody wanted her."

"This is a very upsetting story Jeff."

"Don't worry it gets better, One day she,"

"What's her name?"

"er..her name was Fluffy, and one day she was playing in the street and a nice little girl came along and took her home and looked after her forever. The end."

Nikki burrowed her head into Jeff's chest and he blushed.

"That's a good story, Night night Jeff!" Nikki murmured before going to sleep against him. Jeff stroked her hair and tried to go to sleep himself. It was hard with Nikki snuggling up to him though. They were bed sharing in the relatives room, where family members could stay if their relatives were in the hospital. Jeff looked at Nikki and wondered if she was as clueless about him as she made out.

"What if," Jeff thought to himself, "She knows how I feel and doesn't want anything to do with me so she's pretending not to know?"

Try as he might, Jeff couldn't shake that thought from his head and eventually got out of bed and went for a walk around the hospital.

"BITCH!" yelled Eric slamming Lita's head against the wall. "You like him don't you! DON'T YOU! You like him more than me."

"No Eric Please!" Lita begged. To no avail, Eric just kicked her again in the ribs.

"You want to prove it!" Eric screamed. He took the photo of Lita and Matt out of its frame and ripped it up. "You know what to do!"

"Jeff?" Nikki Murmured, opening her eyes. Jeff wasn't anywhere to be seen. "Jeff?" she said a little louder. A woman sssshed her. Nikki walked out of the relatives room and looked up and down the corridor. "JEFF!" She yelled. No response. A nurse approached her.

"People are trying to sleep dear. Please keep the noise down."

Nikki apologised before heading outside. Jeff was sitting on the steps.

"Jeff?" She said. He turned to face her.

"Nikki," he said. "there's something I want to tell you."
