Chapter 10 – Admitting a weakness

"You like her." Bryan stated, watching Tala pace.

"No." Tala snapped back, flopping back onto armchair, hiding his face in his hands.

"Tala, although I not be as talkative as the others, I am not stupid, despite contrary belief." Bryan said, with a slight upturn to his lips.

"I never said, you were, Bryan." Tala answered, peering up from his hands.

"I know that, but I do take notice to any changes in my team-mates." Bryan replied, before folding his arms across his chest, and closing his eyes.

'Will I never get any peace?' Tala thought to himself, before sighing, and leaning back, stretching out his legs, which were now cramped to the max. Tala turned to his gaze back to Bryan, to find that he had moved, and was staring out the window.

"Okay, you win. I'll admit it, but if you tell anyone, you're dead, understand?!" Tala snapped, earning a little grin from Bryan.

"Crystal clear." Bryan replied, settling back down the chair beside Tala.

"How long?" Bryan asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Since about two days ago." Tala answered, burying his face in hands.

"You haven't been around her that long."

"I must be desperate."

"Who knows."

"Hey guys." Ian had just entered the room, and took a seat beside Bryan, just as Spencer and Boris entered the room.

"Any news." Spencer asked, leaning back against the wall.

"Nothing." Tala and Bryan said in unison, just as they said that a nurse entered the room.

"You can go and see her now."

"How are you feeling?" Ian said as they entered the room.

"The hell do you think I feel? First I get my revenge on Tala, and then get put in hospital. So to make long story, short I'm pissed off." Harmony snapped, as she sat up, but flopped back down, as she paled dangerously.

"OW! Brain pain." She mumbled, putting her palm against her forehead.

"You don't look so good." Ian stated; cocking his head slightly, only to receive a flat, rather unamused look from the young, bronze haired girl.

"Well, duh!! I've been basically beaten up. So, of course I don't look so good!!" Harmony drawled, her voice dripping with sarcasm. Ian gave a sheepish grin. Spencer chuckled before pulling up a chair next to her, nearly smacking his head the TV screen.

"What the hell?" He muttered, moving it slightly.

"It's a TV." Harmony said with a grin.

"You get to watch TV!! What else you got?" Ian asked, trying to figure out how to turn the TV set on.

"Internet access, phone and radio." Harmony replied grinning,

"Spoilt bloody rotten." Ian grumbled, flopping on the end of her bed, because he couldn't figure out how to turn the television on. Harmony picked up a remote, and the radio started.

"Gimme the remote!!" Ian leapt up, and the two began to fight over the remote. Spencer and Bryan hid their faces, while Tala tried not to laugh, but he failed miserably. Harmony winced, as Ian managed to get the remote. Ian grinned at her, but the doctor came over.

"I need talk to Harmony, alone." The doctor said with a little grin to Harmony, who returned it. Ian grumbled, before putting the remote on the bedside table, and stomping out of the cubicle after his team.

"Sod's law, Ian." Harmony chuckled, just as he was leaving. The doctor drew the curtains before asking to examine to her forehead, sitting up, rather unsteadily, and moving her mid-calf length hair from view.

"Well, that all seems to be in order. You can go home now, but no vigorous exercise." The doctor signed a release, and called the nurses in, to help her out. What little clothes she had with her were packed away neatly, and Demolition Boys re-entered the cubicle, just as the doctor.

"Let's get the hell out of here." Ian said, they had begun to walk away, but then realised that Harmony had made no sign of movement.

"Are you coming or what?" Ian snapped, causing the others turned to meet Harmony's gaze.

"I would, if I could!!" Harmony snapped back, her cheeks were stained in a light red colour. Bryan made a rumbling noise in the back of his throat, before he stepped forward, picked up her bag, then yanked her to her feet. Her respond was to go deadly pale, sway dangerously on her feet. Ian quickly shot over, and steadied her.

"Unlike you guys, I'm not used to roughed about." Harmony muttered, shaking her head to clear the dizziness. Tala's thoughts reverted back to their little scuffle, which needless to say Harmony came out, worse off.
