He woke up again almost five in the morning, it was Sunday so there was no school and the halls were empty. He groaned and rolled over to find the other half of the bed completely his, Brooke was gone. Piotr quickly sat up and looked around; she wasn't even in the room with him. Cursing under his breath he got up and hurried down the stairs to look for her not wanting to wake anyone else up. He looked around the sitting room, the hall and headed to the kitchen. He was relived to find her sitting on the island eating cereal, Bon Jovi was playing on the radio and she was humming along to it quietly as she ate. She looked over as Piotr entered and gave him a smile, not knowing all the frantic thoughts going through his head when he thought he had lost her.
"Hey you almost scared me waking up with you gone. Did you get hungry?" He asked with a sigh.
"I'm sorry I scared you, no I wasn't really hungry I just had a craving for fruit loops, I think they're my favorites. I hope you're not angry at me." She gave him an innocent smile that he couldn't stay mad at.
"No of course not, it's good to see your remembering the little things from before. Mind sharing with me?" He asked sitting on the stool beside where she still sat on top the island.
"Here, they're the best." She grabbed a spare bowl from behind her and poured the cereal into it before sliding it over to him.
They both sat there eating cereal, sharing a comfortable silence, Piotr just happy she hadn't disappeared. That's where Jean found them as she got up and went into the kitchen to get a cup of coffee. She smiled at the unlikely friendship bonding between the two students and silently went about making coffee.She sat opposite of Piotr, holding the cup between her hands taking in the warmth before finally talking.
"So Brooke are you feeling better today? I was hoping we could get a physical done on you to see how your body's taking all this change and stress. What do you say to that?"
Brooke sat there drinking the last of her milk before answering. "Yeah sure, do you want some fruit loops, they're really good. Especially the milk at the bottom when your done, that's my favorite part."
"No thank you but it was a nice gesture, should we schedule the physical for about nine this morning?" She asked with a smile.
Brooke shrugged than nodded not wanting to have any trouble between everyone. Although the thought of being in any lab still sent shivers down her spine, she hoped Piotr would be there with her when she was having it done. Not wanting to be alone with a female doctor in a lab coat any time ever again.
