Piper opened her eyes but then closed them quickly attempting to cover them with her hand but found that her body wasn't responding.
"Pull down the shade." She grumbled turning her head away from the light.
"She's awake!" She heard someone call.
"No loud noises!" Piper scolded trying to look annoyed with her eyes closed but not succeeding very well. The light dimmed and she opened her eyes slowly to see several people standing over her. All of whom were guys. The D-Tent.
"Ouch." Was the first thing she said lifting her hand to her head. She felt someone mover her hand and place something cool on it. She smiled and opened her eyes again and looked down. "Shit." She mumbled attempting to pull the blackest up. She was only wearing her bra and of course not very comfortable with all boys in the room with her like this. Even X-Ray was there which surprised her.
"How you feeling?" Stanley asked who was sitting next to her on a chair.
"Like shit." She said closing her eyes again. She felt drowsy it was probably the sedatives that she noticed were on the table next to the bed. Darkness evaded her mind causing her to relax and sleep.
"Do you think she'll be alright?" asked Squid as they all watched her fall asleep.
"Who knows, the Doctor said she was beaten pretty badly...With that shovel." Zigzag said looking down at her still form. 'She's so beautiful when she's asleep. Hopefully she'll wake up again.' He thought watching every one slowly leave the room, the first of whom was X-Ray. Now it was only him and Caveman. Caveman reached out and placed his had onto hers giving it a small squeeze. Zigzag rolled his eyes closing the door quietly and walking over to the foot of the bed on the side Caveman was sitting.
"Do you love her?" He asked causing him to jump and drop her hand. He looked over at him with a confused look on his face.
"Did she tell you?" Caveman countered with his question. Zigzag rolled his eyes again and sat on the edge of the bed by her feet.
"It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure these things out. I've had my share of relationships I know what it looks like when you're in one." He answered dryly in a monotone looking board.
"Oh."
"So, do you love her?" Zigzag asked again raising an eyebrow quizzically almost demanding an answer.
"Yes I do." Caveman answered confidently.
"She's your first stable relationship isn't she." Zigzag said; it wasn't a question it was a statement. He obviously had an easy time reading Stanley like a book. "And I can tell you one thing,"
"And what would that be?"
"It's not going to last."
"And how would you know?"
"She's not your type. Did you know that she attempted murder on someone six times? And what did you do? You stole sneakers. You get what I'm saying right?" Zig explained gesturing with his hands looking from the floor to Stanley back to the floor to Piper then back to the floor.
"Well, if you know her type what is it then?" Stanley asked getting annoyed.
"Someone like...oh I don't know...someone from here." Zig told him looking back at Piper who was still asleep.
"You mean someone like you." Caveman countered giving him a cold glare.
"I never said that."
"But you meant it, because you are attracted to her just like every other guys here. I'm just the lucky one who she is actually attracted to." Stanley defended letting his annoyance show visibly now.
"You're just her safe ride. She's never had a safe boyfriend before so you're her safe fix for the time being...that is until you leave. Do you expect to keep your relation with her once you leave? Once your gone she'll be off tracking another guy to have fun with before letting him go and moving on to the next guy." Zigzag said bitterly with a clam emotionless face as if he were lecturing Caveman on the most boring subject know to man kind. Stanley glared at him before speaking.
"I don't believe you. You're just saying that to break us apart." He said angrily. Zig just shrugged and looked at Piper sleeping again. Her head turned slightly to the side revealing her bruised up jaw and cheek. Stanley stood and stared for the door.
"Get me when she wakes up." He said coldly before leaving.
"Whatever." He mumbled before moving form his spot to get closer to her. He reached out a hand and touched that bruised side of her face gently barely touching it. He moved his hand to hers and rubbed his thumb over the back of her hand keeping a watch on her face. He sat there for several minutes but it seemed like hours. Her body shifted ever so slightly and she turned her head so that it was facing him more and opened her eyes slowly.
"Hey." She said softly attempting to sit up but to no avail. Zigzag snorted holding back laughter before helping her sit up. She gave a weak smile and scratched her head.
"I heard your conversation with Stanley." She said after a few moments of silence between them. Zigzag looked down. "And you're right." At this he looked up surprised. She didn't look at him, she couldn't...it hurt to.
"Wait, so you're saying everything I just said was right?" He questioned still surprised.
"Yup, he's just safe...I want something safe. Never really had something safe...My friends always said 'We'll know how bad a guy is just by how hot you think he is.'" She explained she wouldn't look at him just looked down at her hands and shifted the blankets. Zigzag stopped her shifting by placing a hand on top hers making her look at him.
"So you don't feel attracted to him do you."
"please, stop before this goes any further she said taking his had off of hers and placing it on the bed next to her. "I want to be with him to see how things go with a safe guy, so just...just..." She trailed off it was hard to push him away; she wanted him so much that it was painful. "Just go get Stanley; he'll want to be here with me." She finished not looking him in the eyes.
"Alright, if that's what you want me to do. Ok..." Zig said a little hurt. He had been the bad boy of his school and all the girls had always wanted to go out with him, never rejected him, and always did as he asked. Well, that is until Piper Walker came into his life, turned him away and didn't show any sign of hurt. Or at least if she did hurt it was well hidden. He stood and left giving her one last glance as he reached the door before leaving. And there it was again, it was unspoken, untold but it was there and they knew it.
Attraction, unspoken, untold but there, always there. Piper felt it when he left that pang of never wanting him to go, feeling bad for what she said. It was there and she knew it, but no she pushed it away because she was afraid of what might happen. Afraid of finding someone who might not hurt her like before, always before, never ahead. Unspoken, like always.
"Please don't go."
