A.N.Italics are thoughts
-The Next Day-
Patches woke up to the light shining in her eyes and pressure on her hand, she blinked a few times to clear her mind and the looked over to her right to find Skittery asleep in a chair next to her bunk and his hand placed over hers
"Now how did I get here?" she questioned out loud
"Morning" Skittery said while sitting up in the chair and his whole body cracked
"Morning, so what happened?" she asked
"Well, to make a long story short, you came back to the bunkroom all banged up form those bastards, the Delancey's , you passed out and you've been here ever since" he said looking a mixture of angry/upset/happiness (so as you can tell it was a pretty interesting face)
"Oh" she said looking worried
"What's wrong Patches?" Skittery asked
"Nothing" she said rather unconvincingly
"You know you're the worst liar in the world" he teased
"Yea, it's just … how did you know it was the Delancey's" she asked
"Lucky guess" he muttered
"Youse almost as bad a liar as I am" she said while smiling slightly
"Not quite"he mumbled jokingly "So how you are feeling?" he questioned
"Better than I look I'm sure" she replied with a light joking air to her voice
"Hmph, well that's a plus cause' you look like hell" Skittery said eloquently (note the sarcasm)
"Gee thanks Skitt's, that's just what every girl wants to hear after she gets the shit, beat out of her" Patches remarked with a pout on her face
"That's not what I meant…"Skittery backtracked
"Relax, I'm just playing with ya'" she said while smiling slightly
"Oh right I knew that" he replied "Well I gotta go sell my papes, I'll be back later to check on you , so don't get any crazy ideas in that pretty little head of yours about sneaking out" Skittery said with a suspicious look upon his handsome features
"Aye Aye Sir" Patches said mockingly while saluting at him
"Seriously, you need to rest and heal alright" he said warningly with a concerned look across his face
"Yup I got it go on go sell your papers without me" she said dramatically
"Drama Queen" he yelled as he walked out of the room and down the stairs of the lodging house
"He is so adorable when he's worried" she thought to herself "Whoa, where the hell did that come from" she thought alarmed as she drifted back into a fitful sleep
