I really couldn't believe Rob would do such a thing. I know that he's always trying to get me to behave like a proper little lady and especially to stop hitting guys bigger then myself, but this just seemed too extreme. If I had known he was going to react like this, I wouldn't have spent so long trying to get him to come with me. Maybe if I hadn't tried so hard then I wouldn't be here right now.

Maybe I should explain a little. Basically after I told Dr.K that he had no choice but to do things my way, Rob shook his head, which I didn't really notice until he stood up.

"Jess, I refuse to sit around here while you discuss your disregard for your own safety.

Call me when you come to your senses."

He just walked out! I think we were all a little distracted by this, so I just kind of sat there with my mouth hanging open. Attractive, I know, before I realized that Rob, the guy I love, had just walked out. I did what any girl would, no, should do-I went after him.

"Rob, wait!"

It was getting quite windy, so I guess he didn't hear me first time.

"ROB!"

I managed to catch up with him so I grabbed his arm and I held on tight. He tried to shake me off, but I wasn't letting him get away that easily after all the effort it took to get him here.

"Rob, wait. What's going on?"

"You think I'm going to sit in there listening to the girl I lo… the girl I … aww heck, listening to the girl I love talk about risking her life as if I'm okay with that? Well I'm not, Jess. Can't you see? I don't want you hurt. Can't you just tell Dr. Krantz again and let him go and get her?"

Despite the L-word, this whole thing made me pretty mad.

"Rob! Are you crazy? Because I let Dr.K go get Jill this wacko took Ruth! Who do you think he'll take next? I'll tell you who-YOU. I will not sit back and let Dr. K do all the work. It's my fault that Ruth is stuck there. If I hadn't got struck by lightning, then she would be safe! I refuse to let anything happen to you!"

"Mastriani. I can look after myself. It's you I'm worried about."

Look after himself? Well so could Ruth, possibly. Well not really but I'm sure she thought so.

"Wilkins. I don't care what you think. This is me, this is who I am, and this is what I do. Why do you want to change me? What if it was your life?"

I guess calling him Wilkins was a little petty, but I was annoyed. Rob always calls me Mastriani all the time but I always thought that he was saying it in a cute nickname-y way. But this time it just seemed heartless so I did it back.

"I can't help how I feel. I know it's who you are, but normally I can go with you, except this time the guy really wants you alone. I'm worried for you."

"I'm worried for me too, Rob. But I'm more worried for my best friend and my boyfriend. You see they're both pretty important in my life. Although, one of them doesn't seem to realize it."

Instead of smiling or replying, he did a shocking, if not amazing thing. His arms went round my waist and his lips found mine. I melted at his touch, his hands were lightly on my hips until I kissed him back, and then his grip tightened and he became more forceful. I had my hands locked behind his neck and was deepening the kiss. This was heaven, and everything else was forgotten.

Until I heard a scream.

"No she's mine!"

Everything went black. I can't help but think that this would have been a good way to die, even though I didn't die. But, you know, it seems like one of the better ways to go- mouth locked onto a hot guy's lips.

As my eyes opened, all I could see was white, and bright white at that.
