Back to reality: meanwhile
Meanwhile, Dom was dozing in his chair next to Kel's hospital bed. He was woken by the sound of Kel shouting "Dom!" He jumped up, ready to rouse her from whatever dream she was having Then he saw her lips moving, talking as she smiled. He got down very close to her lips and listened closely to hear what she was saying.
"Beautiful? You sound like Meathead." She laughed and Dom thought about hearing that laugh every day for the rest of his life. Staring at her lips, he suddenly was seized by the insatiable urge to kiss her. He leaned his head down and kissed her lips, chastely, his mind just registering that she had leaned her head up at the same moment. Then, their lips met and all thought was blown away. When their lips parted, he was so enraptured that he almost missed what she said next. "I love you too." Suddenly Dom was burning with jealousy, upset that it was no he she loved but some one else. He woke her then, eyes still burning and hurt and he asked her how she felt.
Kel blushed and asked him if he had heard anything she was saying in her sleep.
"Yes." He said harshly, bitterly remembering how she loved someone else. He tried to walk away but was grabbed by a slightly tearful Kel asking him worriedly why he was angry.
" I heard what you said Kel everything. I know you are in love with someone. Well… I-I'm in love with someone else as well."
Tears filled Kel's eyes as she realized that Dom didn't really like her but instead liked someone else. She had thought he had liked her but obviously she was wrong. Her whole body felt weak and unstable when she talked to him but he must have thought of her as just a friend. What a shame.
Dom walked away, eyes burning with tears that he wanted, no, needed, to release. He walked to the farthest cot and lay down with his back to her, then let out the tears. He cried quietly to himself, thinking about how much he had adored Kel.
When Neal came in, he was appalled at the sight he saw. His cousin and his best friend were across the hospital wing from each other and sobbing into their respective pillows. He went first to Kel, trying to comfort her but all he got as a response was a sobbed "He doesn't love me."
Neal walked slowly over to Dom's bed, trying to figure out what his best friends mumbled message actually meant. He was surprised, when he walked to Dom's bed, that his cousin just pushed him off and turned over. After being pushed off the bed four times and with a very sore bum, Neal realized that his cousin was not in the mood to explain why he was currently crying wholeheartedly into his pillow. Neal frowned as he heard his usually cheery cousin utter a bleary and pillow-smothered "She doesn't love me.".
'So Kel says that Dom doesn't love her, and Dom says that she doesn't love him… I think they love each other… How can I fix this?' Neal thought hard. Then he walked to his fiancées room and knocked loudly.
Yuki opened the door and was confused at her fiancée's confused expression. "What's wrong love?" she asked worriedly.
"I've just gone to see Kel and try to make Dom eat something. When I walked in, Kel was in one bed sobbing and Dom was in another doing the same. They both think the other doesn't love them. What should I do Yuki?"
Yuki sat down in shock. Kel was never one to cry, even when she had braved the climb to Balor's Needle despite her abject fear of heights, Kel had not cried. Now she was crying over some boy? It didn't make sense! "We need a plan Neal." She said deviously. "To trick them into realizing how much they love each other. Here's what we'll do."
Neal listened to her whispered plan, a mischievous grin on his handsome face.
Hey guys. I'm sorry this is so short. I need some ideas for a plan to get Kel and Dom back together,… if you have one please e-mail it to
Thanks,
Dinah Super
