Chapter 4: Love never hurt this much...

Blackness still enveloped me. The rain still pounded me. But I didn't know where I was. All I could hear was my own repressed sobbing, and the howling winds.

I knew not where I was, but all I could do was cry, as if crying would help me out, get my feelings for him out. But I knew. Nothing I could do could get the thoughts of him out of my mind.

After I silently confessed to myself that I was, indeed, in love with him, I fainted. It was the last thing I thought to myself. Skye, if by some miracle, hear me. Hear my thoughts. I wish that you knew I was to be waiting there for you.

I knew you wouldn't show up there, but I still went. And now? Now what happened to me? I waited out in the cold pouring rain for you! Out there, even though I had a really bad phobia about water. I still waited!

And I braved it for you! You only! So why? Was my love not enough, do you have to take my life away too?

Skye. I could never hate you. Even if you where a playboy. Or, or a flirtatious monster! Skye… all I could now do now is cry, and hope, and hope some more, that you find me and help me… please.

Skye's POV

The rain. I never really liked it. And I never really went out in it. It was the only day I would never steal. But I haven't stolen in a week. I wonder why. I just haven't felt up to it. Could Jill have caused this?

She was, by far, the most beautiful maiden that I have ever stumbled upon. But that bit, a week ago, about me being a playboy? Okay, so that bit was slightly a bit true. But that part about hitting me?

Seriously. The anger spoiled her beautiful face!

This is getting me toward my anger point. The rain had finally subdued, at least. I should go and check out the goddess pond, again. Sighing, I turn the corner to the goddess pond…

-.-.-.-

That smell. Its smells so good, so fresh. And it smelled like my favorite food! Finest Curry. I lick my lips as I begin to walk faster. And what I saw? Jill. At first I didn't realize it was her. I thought it was just a black lump of something, lost in the shadows. But as I got closer, well, I gasped in shock.

She was lying there, in an un-comfortable position. And her beautiful face was as pale as an egg. I rush over there to see if she was alright. Her breathing was heavy, as if she was just struggling to breath.

I gently put my hand on her forehead. It's so warm. No not warm, scalding. I sneer at her. At this rate she could die. It felt like it was almost to 107 degrees! I panic. Why was she out here? In the rain, none the less! And she had finest curry as well. Was she waiting out here for someone?

I swear that damned person is going to pay for what he did to her! I take her up in my arms. She is so limp, as if she is dead already. Hang in there Jill! I will keep you alive!

I begin to tear. No, I shouldn't cry! I'm a thief! We don't cry. But, it's sad, so I should be able to cry, just this one time. Yes, I have dignity. But I also have feelings, so they should be able to be shown.

I cared for her. Even if she didn't think it was love at first sight, I did!

Sobbing…

I look down to Jill's limp body. She was crying so peacefully, like she had no thought in the world.

"Skye…," I heard her whisper. She was whispering my name. Is it possible she was waiting out here for me? She probably didn't know I never went out in the rain. I look at her.

I will bring her to the Doctors office, even if I blow my cover. I cared so deeply about her. I would give up everything for her, everything. I begin to tear more as I begin to walk towards the doctor's office.

Of course, it is 2:30 in the morning, so no one would be awake. But I had to try, try for her.

I walk up to the doctor's office and knock on the door. I hear some stifled mumbling as the doctor opens the door, looking at me.

"Yes, who are you," he asked looking at me funny. Of course they would look at me funny. I did have long silver hair and green eyes!

"Uhm, she is… not feeling well, can you take care of her," I ask trying to keep calm. He sighs, taking her out of my hands.

"Sure, please come in", he said, but I was already out of sight.

Jill POV

It felt so weird. I now felt warmth, not coldness like before. I also felt a cloth on my forehead. I slowly open my eyes, and glance around at my surroundings. Where am I? This, this isn't my home!

I become alarmed, and pull myself into a sitting position. A figure standing next to me makes hushing sounds and telling me to lie back down.

"Jill, please? Lay back down. You need to have your fever broke. Its over 103 degrees", I hear the voice tell me. I look up and see Doctor Hardy's face.

"Doctor Hardy," I ask, my voice cracking, as I cough pretty loudly. I fall back, pretty tired. Doctor Hardy's face looks concerned.

"Yes, Jill", he asks me holding onto my hand.

"H-how did I get here. All I remember is waiting for him to come, in the rain. But he never did…," I said, starting to tear up a bit.

"Who? Well, you wouldn't be here right now if it wasn't for that young man with the silver hair," he retorted, quietly.

"Silver," I ask as my lips pull into a wry smile.

He nods his head. He stands up, noting my tears. I began to sob quietly. He did come. He came, and saved me. I owed my life to him. Doctor Hardy looked at me with concern. These tears weren't for sadness, they where for pure joy.

Thank you so much Skye. You're the most wonderful person I have ever met. You're the person I like the most, and love the most. I'm so glad I met you. And I'm so glad that I love you. I wonder what type of adventure will happen when I meet you next. Hopefully it will be a love filled one. And, I don't even care if you are a criminal. Famous or not.

After note: Ah, I feel much better now. And it's the weekend. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I didn't have to do it. I am at a party, err barbeque, at my mothers friend house, so you are lucky. Also I love this chapter. Did you like how I made this mostly Skye's point of view? I did. I think his love comes off strong but Jill is just too clueless. R & R please! And no flaming! Sorry that it was so short!
