Chapter 4: Here we go again
Nobody's POV
When the rangers got back home, they found Emily laying in the recovery room, sleeping.
Both Jayden and Mike ran to each side of her bed, looking worried.
"How badly is she hurt?" Mike said, looking up at Mentor Ji.
"Is she ok?" Jayden said, still looking at Emily.
"Emily is ok but her arm is in bad shape. It will take a few weeks for her to fully recover, so if any nighlok came up you all will just have to do without her for those few weeks. I want someone to come and watch over Emily in the night, just in case she has any pains in the night."
"I'll do it!" Jayden and Mike both exclaimed at the same time.
"Here we go again." Antonio whispered, rolling his eyes. "He just needs one person to watch over her!"
"Actually, I think it would be a good idea if there were two people watching her. One could take the first half of the night and the other could take the last half. Jayden, you will take the first shift. Mike will take the second. The next week, I'll get someone else to do it."
"NO!" Jayden and Mike shouted, giving eachother more death glares.
"Yes, you two both will need more sleep, so next week I'll get Mia, Kevin, or Antonio to do the next shifts. That's final!"
No one decided to argue with Ji and decided to stick with the plan.
All of a sudden, Emily started to wake up. She started to sit straight up, looking around at everyone. "I'm sorry guys. I didn't see the nighlok coming and got hit. Now this is the second time I've been in here where you guys were around me. I'm really sorry guys."
"We know you are, but it wasn't your fault." Kevin pointed out.
"Yeah, you totally didn't see him coming. So it was his fault." Mia said kindly.
"Thanks everyone. You all are the greatest friends. Since ya'll are the greatest friends, would it be too much to ask if one of you could get me some water?"
"I'll get it for you!" Jayden and Mike both said, standing up quickly.
"Seriously guys, ya'll need to stop saying stuff at the same time. Its starting to creep me out." Kevin said, making Mia laughed.
Ignoring them, Jayden and Mike both ran to the kitchen, pushing eachother to see who will get there first.
"Get her bottled water!" Kevin yelled out through the hallway.
"Why bottled?" Mia asked.
"With water in a cup, they're going to spill it with all that pushing around they're doing. With bottled water, it'll just drop to the ground, not spilling."
"Smart." Mia gave alittle smile.
When they both got back, Jayden ran into the room with the bottled water and quickly gave it to her.
"Thanks Jay." Emily took the water and smiled sweetly.
Mike suddenly came beside Jayden and pointed out "By the way, I was the one who took the water out of the fridge but Jayden took it right out of my hands."
Emily didn't pay any attention to what Mike had said. "Hey everyone, I'm feeling really sleeping now so could I get some rest?"
"Of course, Emily." Ji said as he made everyone leave Emily to herself.
Outside in the hallway, Mia caught Jayden by the arm. Mia asked in a low voice "Hey, can I talk to you outside?"
"Sure." Jayden agreed as they went outside to the back.
Mia's POV
Ok, so I know something's going on between Jayden and Mike but I'm not sure what it is. I think I have a pretty good idea of what it may be but not sure. So I'm not going to confirm it until I get Jayden's response.
When we got outside on the porch, I immediately asked "Do you like Emily?"
I notice Jayden hesitate alittle. "Umm.. yeah, I do. Like, alot."
I knew it. It made me feel alittle sad inside because I had alittle crush on him but it also made me happy also. Now I can have Kevin all to myself.
"I thought that you liked her. I was right. But now we have a problem cause Mike likes her too."
"Obviously. Otherwise Mike and I wouldn't be having this little feud between us." Jayden sat down on the steps, so I sat down next to him.
"Listen, Emily is my best friend. So I don't want either you or Mike to push her into liking ya'll."
"I wasn't going to."
"I know but I was just pointing it out."
We sat there in silence for a few minutes until Kevin came outside.
"Hey Mia, can you come inside to the kitchen for a minute?"
"Sure. See you later Jayden." I said to Jayden.
I saw Jayden nod as I went into the kitchen with Kevin.
"So, what is it that you wanted to talk about?" I asked, curiously.
"I didn't say we were going to talk."
All of a sudden, I found Kevin in front of my face, kissing me. When he pulled away, I saw that he was smileing like crazy.
"Sorry Mia. I really wanted to do that at the movies but didn't get a chance to."
"No worries. I liked it." I smiled and took his hand. I suddenly forgot about what me and Jayden were talking about earlier.
