Everything hurt, I mean like everything. The meds helped a little but not much. I was so happy to see everyone mainly ok, but I saw tears and bruises, papa and mama looked so tired and sore where as my siblings just looked upset. Thank god Stephan had no bruises.

I eventually convinced my mum and dad to leave and get something to eat, that left me with Ariana, Edward and Stephan. They sat there staring at me like I might disappear if they look away "did you guys get hurt?" They shook their heads "can I get a hug?" I smirked at the expressions they wore "it won't kill me ok, I want a hug" they all went to my side of the bed and hugged me softly so not to hurt me " I love you kris" ari and Ed said at the same time "I missed you Krisy" steph mumbled into my shoulder I smiled and hugged tighter "I loves you's to, so so much" I was so glad they were ok. I wouldn't have minded being killed if it meant everyone I loved was ok... Not that I wanted to die. I had to many things to do like annoy Stan some more, pull a prank on headmistress bitch face, see my brothers and sister grow up, became izzy's guardian... Matt... Well I was alive and happy about it... Oh no " guys did mama get the baby checked yet?" I looked to each of them who were back at the bottom of the bed again but they didn't know. I tried to get up to get the phone but some one pushed me back, before I could see who it was I heard him "no way Tina lay down" I smirked and looked up at him "hello to you to Matt" he pulled his hand down to my face and brushed away some hair "you ok?" He was cute when he worried-not that I like him or anything... Ok maybe a little but still it's Mathew. MY FRIEND

"I'm good, I could still kick your a- nothing at all" he smirked and looked over at little Stephan smiling at us. When I turned back I saw my very tired and battered parents walking in hand in hand "hay mama, papa" they walked over to the other side of the bed opposite mat and kissed my forehead "hello sweetheart" my dad replied, I could hear the exhaustion in his voice... I couldn't ask about the baby while they were like that "mr belikov, mrs belikov" matt inclined his head "nice to see you again Matt" my mother said with a faint smile. Again?... "you guys can go home and get some sleep if you would like, I'm allowed to have a sleep over so I can look after Tina for a while" I smiled a little at the thought of us alone, I knew nothing would happen because of the hospital and all but still- not that I wanted anything to happen... Ok I did don't judge

"Mathew as nice as it is-" I cut my dad off before he could finish "papa really I'm fine, get mama and you rug rats" I turned my head for a second to wink at my siblings then turned to papa and mama to continue "home, get some sleep and have dinner please, for me" they all looked hesitant "kris-" "mama I will be fine I'm just gunna sleep and annoy the hell out of matty boo over here" I smirked at him making him roll his eyes "ok but if you need any-" I cut her off "If I need anything call the nurse

If I need you call

If I get homesick call

And call before bed

Did I forget anything?"

They all smiled at me and I heard ari and stepy laugh a little "yes you did, you forgot that I will kick your but when your better. I love you sweetheart"

my parents and siblings came over and hugged me "love you guys" they all left the room looking sluggish and broken, even ari, Ed and stephy looked exhausted. it hit me hard like a punch in the gut and it made me want to crawl into a ball.

"Are ok Kristina?" I looked back to Matt who had worry plastered on his face "wow... You actually used my full name, do i look that bad?" My joke didn't make him smile like I hopped, he still looked worried "Matt, I'm fine really I am" I scooted over and ushered for him to lay down with me, he took off his shoes and leather jacket and put them on the chair and crawled into bed. "Why did you do it?" I raised an eyebrow at him "no no I mean I know WHY you did it, but... Never mind" he closed his eyes and I noticed his hands were clenched at his sides. I picked my heavy bruised hand up and brushed some of his tangled black hair out of his eyes, he had beautiful sky blue eyes...

"Mathew what's wrong?" He sighed opening and closing his hands as if to get rid of pins and needles. "I'm fine Tina" his voice cracked a little, I rolled over trying to hide my wincing but he noticed, he always did

"Careful" he put his hand on my hip stabilising me so I wouldn't fall backwards "matt. What's. Wrong?" I asked again slower, His eyes didn't close this time but he moved his hand off my hip up to my face. His calloused fingers grazed over each bruise on my face, each bump on my head, every cut, "Tina I don't like seeing you like this" I smirked "so i DO look that bad" his frown didn't falter "Matt I'm alive that's all that matters-" he cut me off "no it's not. If those stupid guardians had searched the perimeter without just assuming that they got them all you would be in here, you would be at home cooking with your dad, or writing or drawing something beautiful, painting away in your bedroom listening to your mile long playlist or training with your mum. They should have checked kris, they were so worried about that stupid paperwork... So they could get in good with the queen, they thought if they were efficient they would get recognition" I smiled softly at him and begun tracing my fingers softly down his arm making him shiver. "Trust me when I say I didn't want to be in that fight but I had to look after Stephan... I'm just glad everyone I love is ok and healthy-ish" his mouth was starting to twitch up at the corners but I could see the worry burning in his eyes.

"I could have lost you you know" I smiled, he was so sweet "don't worry dude I'm not going anywhere yet, I will be annoying you for a long time" he smiled FINALY!

"I will love every minute" that's when I realised his hand was playing with my hair and mine with his other hand at our side. That wasn't best friend behaviour but then again... Nope we are just friends I thought, even with those sparkly eyes and his well toned body, his rough but soft hands...FRIENDS

I inched forward so I was resting on his chest with my arms around him "don't leave ok" he probably wouldn't have been able to even if he tried "of course not Tina... Um can I ask you a question?" I tilted my head so I could just see his angelic face... Ok so I had a kinda big crush on my best friend

"Shoot" his hand began playing with the curls in my hair again

"what exactly happened, no one really knows how you killed that thing or what happened and the only person who saw it was Stephan who didn't see much... He said that you were brave though" I smiled a little and looked down snuggling back in to his warm chest listening to the soothing pulse of his heart. "Well I ran after steph after he got scared and saw him being- being... I saw the Strigoi with its arm around my brothers throat"

my voice cracked and I felt matts hand slip into mine again "I bargained with it saying I was better bait, I went away from the church and waited for our fight. When I stopped the Strigoi let him go, probably to get the enjoyment out of letting a six year old witness my failure or something... I didn't have a silver to stake with or anything to chop it's head off but I had a broken chair leg" I felt his heart rate quicken a little probably thinking about the chance of a piece of wood against an evil being as I continued

"I got a few punches in before he threw me in to that stupid tree-" matts grip tightened an he stopped breathing for a second "he threw you in to a tree?" I nodded and continued

"Eventually after a lot of struggling , punching and some scratching he pinned me but my neckless burned him and he sizzled so I started using it as a weapon, when I finally staked him-" he butted in "he wouldn't have died" I nodded "he didn't, I stabbed a hole in him, pulled the chair leg out, quickly threw my neckless in the closing wound his chest and then smashed it in him before I passed out... Do you know what happened after?"

He sighed " a little, your mum and dad said they saw you stab the Strigoi then pass out on top of him, they got lord Ivashkovand queen dragomire to heal you a little but they both passed out with exhaustion and you were still badly hurt so they sped you here. I got a text from Annabella and Isabella saying you were in hospital while I was having diner, I got up and raced strait here" I sighed, knowing him he wouldnt have said much before he took off.

"did you get in trouble?" I looked up at him seeing his warm smile "your worth it" I felt my face flush from all the thoughts I was having. We were so close... Before I could turn to hide the scarlet speeding over me he cupped my face on one side "I would do anything for you Kristina always have always will"

That's when I gave up, I pulled up and gave him a quick kiss on the lips then returned to his chest before I could see his reaction, both his and my heart was racing as I whispered " and I would die for you Matthew" and he wrapped his arms around me as we both fell asleep smiling.
