Is it for real?
Chapter 6- I wanna hold your hand
Kiva entered Jamie's hospital room, a small cup of water in her hands. She looked at his limp body, wanting to cry. The doctors had just got done performing the biopsy and he was still out from the anesthetics. She leaned back against the door frame, afraid that if she got to close she would disturbe something.
Coop came back into the hospital and was walking toward Jamie's room. As he got there he saw Kiva's body resting against the door frame. He looked at her face, her eyes brimming with tears and her nose running slightly. He sighed deeply and shook his head.
She turned and looked to him. She just suddenly started to cry, leaning into the gigantic man's body. He smiled lightly and put his hand around her. "Everything will be okay. Even if I don't see what you see in him."
She looked up at him hurt and confused. "What do you mean? I am worried for a friend, just as you should be. Nothing more than that." She wasn't sure if she was trying to convince him or herself. Whichever it was she was doing a poor job of it. She backed out of his arms and stared at him with a sudden amount of coldness that she didn't think was possible.
"Well, of course I'm worried, but this is different. Whatever it is has been going on for a few weeks. And I just want to know, why not me?" Coop sounded almost sad. He just couldn't understand why the girl was falling for the sidekick and not the hero. Why she did eventually fall completely in love with the sidekick and not the hero.
"This isn't the time or place for these questions. Right now we need to be worring about Jamie."
"I don't see why I need to worry. You seem to be worrying enough for the both of us. I'm leaving. You Can come if you want, but I doubt that you will."
Kiva stood her ground and continued to stare at him. Coop shrugged and turned around to leave. "Call me when they know what is going on," he said, not looking back at her or his best friend as he left.
Kiva watched him until he was out of sight, allowing the tears to streak down her face. What was going on? These emotions didn't exist in her time. Everything was already set up. You found love in a computer system. Not through this trial and error stuff. She was suddenly so confused. She didn't know what to do.
Jamie's eyes suddenly fluttered open and he saw the red head crumpled on the floor. He tried to speak, but found that it was a bit hard because of his dry throat. He settled to tapping on the bed railing, hoping to catch her attention. Her sobs were clearly audible and had him worried. He tapped a little harder, feeling still a bit weak and tired from the medicine. His neck ached and he couldn't move it to get a better view of the futuristic beauty upon the floor.
She looked up and saw his eyes barely open. She smiled lightly, knowing that her cheeks were stained with tears and probably looked a mess. She stood up, cup of water still in hand. She brought it over to him and looked at him, her eyes filled with something that Jamie just couldn't place. She handed him the cup not realizing how weak he was.
"I suppose that I could help you," she offered and watched him nod slightly.
