Chapter 14
It was quite a while before Joice woke up.
You see, when I brought her in there, the doctor recognized my face, saying that he wasn't allowed to treat felons. So you know what I did? I pulled my sword on him, telling him I'd kill him if he didn't heal my girlfriend. I wasn't actually going to kill him, of course, but it seemed to at least change his mind. He said he'd treat her, but because she was my friend, and not because I was gonna kill him. Cool guy, yeah? Augh, I said Joice was my girlfriend. I'm never gonna tell her I said that. She might skin me, heheh.
I sighed as I entered her room, because she was trying to escape. Seriously... it's just a hospital - I'd been in plenty of them when I was a kid. "No." I told her, "You're too hurt to leave."
Joice gave me this glare that could probably freeze ice over when I said that, causing me to flinch. "No, Kay, I'm not staying in a god-damned hospital." She spat. Jeez, it's like she's been in some kind of horror novel where hospitals are the scariest thing small children could imagine. I shook my head, walking over to her. "If you don't, you might die or something. I can't let that happen." Of course, I wouldn't let this happen to anyone, but for some reason, I don't think I could let this happen to Joice at all.
"Why do you even care?!" She whined(or spat furiously, I'm not sure), "It's none of your business what I do!" I leaned closer to her, about to tell her something serious. I was gonna tell her I cared because I did.
And then I kissed her - what the hell? I felt my cheeks heat up like fire, and silently I wondered why she wasn't pulling away.
And then it was over. Thank God. "Please stay here, at least until you get better?"
She squeaked an 'okay' and I laughed. "Thanks, Joice." Means a lot.
"Wh-Whatever." She grumbled, crossing her arms like she didn't care - even though she obviously did. I laughed again.
"So, wanna tell me how you got so beat up?" I asked, albeit a bit awkwardly(What does albeit mean, anyway? I've heard Joice use it, so I hope I'm doin' it right...). I shrugged as she countered, "Tell me why you kissed me, first."
"I like you - isn't it obvious?" I laughed, "Your turn."
She fumbled, a little bit red faced - what, is she surprised that I like her or something? Joice went on to explain how she got all those injuries in a fight, but she still won.
"You beat her?" I asked, a little surprised. I mean, I guess she'd be dead if she didn't, but...
"What, so just because I got hurt means I had to have lost? Idiot." She rolled her eyes. "She sustained much worse injuries than I, so I won. Even if she wasn't killed, she won't be bothering us any time soon."
I nodded, not really caring. "Well then, good job."
A doctor came in.
Joice flinched and backed away from him, like she was scared. Her, scared? Wow. I never would've thought...
"Hello, Miss Fairfax. Are you doing all right? Do you feel any dizziness or nausea?" He asked.
"N-No, I don't!" She squeaked, and I rubbed my ear to make sure I was hearing her right. She squeaked? The heck is up with her? She cleared her throat. "No, I'm fine."
He started writing on a clipboard, which is around the time I stopped paying attention; though here and there I heard Joice freak out about a syringe or something.
"Joice," I sighed, and she stared at me icily. "Don't you start on me too!" She snapped, "I told him, Kay, I'm not fucking doing it!"
"Please?" I sighed, "It's no big deal; it just keeps you from hurting."
"Not happening, and I hate you." She deadpanned, her voice barely calm.
"Then why'd you let me kiss you?" I laughed.
She gaped at me. "Y-You took me by surprise!" I laughed and kissed her cheek. "Whatever." Joice flushed, seeming quite angry. She's prolly extremely happy.
"Fine, I'll take the damn shot, just stop that." She muttered, looking away.
So my 'charm' got her to take the shot, heheh. Yesss...
Soon Joice and I were left alone; I told her about how I was renovating our house - she protested that she could if I just got her out of here. As if.
"You know, I never thought you of all people would be scared of hospitals, Joice."
She choked on air or something, turning to face me. "Excuse me?"
"C'mon, you can't fool me; it's kinda obvious at this point. Don't try and lie..." I laughed.
"Then why are you making me stay here?" She sighed, flopping back down on the bed.
"Because I don't want you to get hurt." I said simply, giving a shrug.
"That's not a good reason." She deadpanned.
"It's the only one I've got, chill..." I sighed. Jeez, I don't know... I just wish for once she'd stay at home so everything would be simple...
