I felt a shaking hand work its way into mine. Her hand was so cold, so small. I heard a small sob. I wanted to open my eyes, but a dare not do so. I was to scared too do so. I couldn't bare to see her dark eyes filled with tears. I cant wait to have these bullets removed. It hurts, the pain is so intense. A sharp pain jumped through my body from my arm. My eyes shot open, and my breath quickened.
"Calm down Captain its only me... your arm started bleeding again. I did not mean to wake you." the girl said. I felt my heart lighten slightly. Her voice flowed like the wind.
"Please call me James. Its alright I kind of wanted to wake up." I whispered. She smiled slightly, I don't even know her name, so that was my next question. "May I ask for your name?"
"My-my name is Fraya Rowlands." she said nervously as she quickly busied herself getting bandages. I smiled wider as her cheeks went a little red. "A beautiful name, for a beautiful woman." I whispered. She smiled and said,
"Stop it... I am not beautiful." she protested but my head said different. She had dark hair, as dark as Jamie's horse Topthorn. It was pin straight and went just below her high shoulders. Her eyes were a deep shade of brown with a little bit of... was that green? Yeh I think it was green. She got a bowl filled with cold clean water and a piece of cloth. My eyes widened, and she looked at me.
"You will have to hold still for me. I know this will hurt but it needs to be cleaned so I can bandage it up to prevent you loosing to much more blood until tomorrow."
'Please don't! I would beg but Captains don't beg they have people begging them!'
My eyes welled. I tried to move away but it hurt to badly. I cried out every time she touched the wound. 'It hurts to much please stop!' I silently begged her but she wouldn't stop. Her eyes filled with tears and mine were rolling down my cheeks. I gritted my teeth together and closed my eyes tightly. She finally stopped and bandaged it up. I fell back into my pillow and she sighed reaching for a tissue. I felt bad for her, shes had no sleep, shes crying over me and she cant see how beautiful she is. "Sorry for putting you through that James." she mumbled wiping her eyes away.
"Your only doing your job Miss Rowlands I-" she cut me off saying,
"If I am to call you James then you must call me Fraya." she said with a wink, as she sat herself back down. I went a little bit red and she smiled.
"Well Fraya... what did you do before you became a nurse?" I asked and her head shot up from the book she was reading. I read her eyes. She had an interesting past but I did not want to know until she was happy. She closed her book softly and said,
"I wanted to be in the army..." she said and I flew up... only to fall straight back down. I held my chest. I managed to say... "Why?"
"I wanted to because my father and my mother wanted a son to be proud of. See they wanted a son so he could fight for the country. I wanted to show them something but I never did. That's why I became a nurse, and now I'm glad I did." she said looking down. It took me a short while to realise what she meant. I felt my cheeks warm up again. She smiled and then a knock came to the door. 'WHAT DO YOU WANT?'
"Can we come in?" came the voice of Charlie. I laughed, but the feeling of laughter was short lived. I gripped my chest and Fraya rested a hand on my shoulder and said,
"Of course, come in, come in."
Charlie and Jamie strolled in with weak smiles. They walked over but I couldn't open my eyes. It hurt... I wanted my tired, painful life too come to an end. I rested my head deep in my pillows.
"My Captain Nicholls you don't look so good..." Charlie said with a slight frown. Fraya stood up and I asked,
"Where are you going?"
"I'll be back, your safe with your friends. I will return in a bit. I have another patient to see." Fraya said with a smile as she disappeared from my small room. I sighed deeply closing my eyes again. Jamie and Charlie both started chuckling away. I opened one of my blue eyes and asked,
"What on earth are you two laughing at?"
"You like her..." Charlie said with a grin. My other eye shot open and they went rather wide.
"I don't like her. I just like her being here. She is someone too talk to that's all..." I said and Jamie laughed now.
"Don't be daft James. We saw you when she left." I went red. When I say red I mean, so red that a tomato would be jealous. This was just embarrassing. Charlie slapped my shoulder playfully. I winced as my chest went tight. He quickly apologised and I smiled a small half smile.
"Why don't you just tell her? If you don't we will." Jamie said.
"Don't even think about it Jamie... Or you for that matter Charlie!" I growled.
Is it so wrong for me to like her?
