Nina's Pov
We decided to make lunch afterwe got sick of watching Dragon Tales so, we both helped each other make lunch in the kitchen. Fabian chopped up tomato slices for sandwiches and I made chicken noodle soup on the stove top. He stood next to me, occasionally looking up from his work and smiling at me. Then I would smile back, kiss him on the cheek and go back to the soup. This is what it was going to be like when we were married, when we raised our children and grew old together.
It was very comforting to know that I could see my future laying out nicely in front of me as a stirred that pot of chicken noodle soup. It was nice to know the boy who I loved more than anything felt the same way and that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me. It was also very comforting to know-
"Nina!" Someone called from the foyer
It was a guy's voice. Then, I realized; It was Eddie's voice
"Nina!" it came closer
The kitchen door swung open and Eddie came in looking… well… actually… kind of happy.
"What?" I answered curiously
"How'd you like to go out with me tonight for your last hurrah?" he raised an eyebrow
"No" I answered bluntly
"Wait, what?" he asked
"Why would I go out with you when I'm engaged?" I asked
"Because I know deep down you still have feelings for me" he smirked
"No I don't!" I yelled
"Listen, you're coming! End of discussion!" He yelled back
"Hey!" Fabian pulsed "You don't talk to her like that!"
Eddie swung his fist at Fabian but, I jumped in the way and took the punch, right to the eye… causing my to hit the counter, spilling boiling hot soup all over my left leg. The intense pain from my head and the burns were the last thing I remembered right before I blacked out…
My head pulsed with pain but also, it was a little soothing. I wanted to yell and scream and run so I could get up but, I couldn't see where I was. It was a big, dark, blur. But then, it the center of the dark, a little white spot grew. The white turned to different colored splotches, which turned to shapes. was in the school infirmary.
Nurse O'Bryan sat in her chair, reading a book. Fabian sat next to my cot, asleep in a chair a water bottle in his hand. I noticed the wrapper had been torn at which, Fabian does when he's nervous. The nurse realized I was awake so she whispered;
"Feeling okay?"
"My head hurts, and my leg stings, and my eyes pulsing. I don't think that's very good" I moan whispered "Why are we whispering?"
She pointed her head towards Fabian, asleep in the chair;
"He ran you here. He's been sitting in that chair for the past four hours so I told him to sleep and that I'd wake him when you woke" she looked at him and smirked "You've got one heck of a boyf- fiancé" she corrected herself"He kept asking' the paramedics when they were here if they were positive you'd be alright. The only time he left was to make sure that boy who hit you was expelled. You better hang onto him" she smiled at me "Do you want me to wake him or you?" she asked
"I will" I grinned at her "Can you um…. Give us a little-"
"Privacy? Sure sweetie" she picked up her book and went into the hallway
When I was sure she was gone I started to whisper, progressively getting louder; "Fabian!"
Until he shot up off the chair in a sleepy daze and asked with his eyes closed; "Is she okay? She can have my kidney!"
"I don't need your kidney" I laughed
He opened his eyes and looked at me in the infirmary bed and smiled wider than I'd ever seen him before.
He ran to my bed side and kissed my hand;
"Thank god you're okay" he murmured "I couldn't stand losing you" he shook his head
"I'm just a little beat up that's all" I smirked "How bad is it?" I asked
"Well, you have a pretty nice black eye and you have 2nd degree burns on your thy which will heal within a few weeks. But because of the burns and scars you have a choice; crutches or wheelchair?"
"Um… Wheelchair" I nodded
"Wheelchair it is" he smiled
"So when do I get out of this joint?" I asked
"Are you up to going home?" he asked
I nodded
"I'll go tell Miss O'Brian" he kissed my hand again and went out to the hallway
A few silent minutes later they both came back in laughing;
"Well Miss Martin, you can leave right after you fill this out" she handed me a form
I filled in my birthday and name and such then handed back the form. She looked it over briefly and nodded;
"Okay, you're free to go" she nodded
Fabian pushed a brown wheelchair next to my cot and picked me up as if I were a baby to put me in it. I looked at what I was wearing under the thin cotton sheet… pajama pants and a tank top. He smiled at me and rolled the chair out the door, not forgetting to thank the nurse.
Once we were outside he spoke up;
"Nina, I'm so glad you're okay"
"So what happened after I um… blacked out?" I asked
"Well, I ran you to the infirmary and went back to the house. Victor and Mr. Sweet expelled him so, I made sure of it and then I went back to the infirmary to wait for you to wake up… not much" he shrugged
"Not much hmm?" I asked
"Yeah" Fabian nodded
"Well I figured out something we need to do when we get home" I said
"What's that?" he asked
"We need to make some very important phone calls"
