Chapter five

The date

"So Adalyn, you seem to be getting good commercial parts, want to try for something bigger?" my agent asked me.

I received a call after my commercial audition from my agent. He was telling me about this new movie coming out. It was an action packed type deal and wanted me to try out for it. Of course I was excited to try out but nervous at the same time.

"yes! Yes I do!" I was grinning at nothing in particular.

"Well the auditions are on Saturday at nine AM. Be there fifteen minutes before" he told me as the paper shuffling stopped.

"Okay, thank you for getting me in this!" I smiled before he said his goodbye and thanks.

I hung up my phone and grinned before hearing a knock on the door. I open it to see Leonard all decked out in a blazer and good shirt. I smiled as I had my dark blue, thigh length, dress on. My dress was adorable. I smiled as he held out his arm. I took it before walking out and locking my apartment door as it closed. We headed downstairs with no run in with anyone, thank goodness.

I smiled as we reached the lobby and walked out to his car. He opened the door for me and we were off once he got into the drivers seat.

"So Adalyn, what do you like to do for fun?" he asked me as we came to a red light.

"Well I like acting, playing sports, drawing/painting/sculpting, I like to be outdoors in general. What do you like to do for fun?" I asked as the light turned green.

"Well I like doing equations, I'm a physicist. I like playing D&D, nerdy games like that" he smiled as he pulled into the restaurant.

He was the gentlemen and opened both the car door and the restaurant door for me. I smiled and thanked him each time. We were seated at a table and given menus. We both ordered water with no lemon when asked.

"So, what else do you like to do?" Leonard asked me with a nervous smile.

"Well, I do like hiking and biking but haven't done that in a long time." I returned the smile.

We chatted for a long time. We chatted through the meal and dessert. I learned a lot of about him. It was closing time and neither of us realized.

"Well I guess I will take you home... since this place is closing and all. Unless you want to do something else?" he had a hopeful look in his eyes.

I couldn't help but smile.

"Sure, want to go get ice cream or something?" I asked as he opened the door for me.

We were the last to leave the place. I was glad for that too, it meant that I had the time with just us two. We walked out and decided to walk down the street since there was an ice cream parlor that was still open at eleven o'clock at night.

We walked in and noticed that we were the last ones in. There wasn't many people in here but that is okay. It made for better privacy. It was closing time when we finished out ice creams. We walked back down towards his car when suddenly a guy jumps out holding a gun and wearing a mask.

"Drop you purse and hand over your wallet NOW! Or die!" he threatened us.

I looked at Leonard before he dropped his wallet and I dropped my purse.

"Kick them towards me" he cocked his gun.

We did what we were told before we heard laughter. We looked up and the next thing I know, I was on the ground in pain. My shoulder felt like it was on fire. I groaned as I heard another gun shot ring out. I saw Leonard fall next to me. I turned and looked at the guy who shot us, he had pulled his mask off, he was wearing a sadistic grin before running off.

I pulled out Leonard's phone as I rolled him over. He was shot in the arm, luckily that guy had a lousy shot. I panted as I called 911.

"This is the Emergency response team, what is your emergency?" a lady was on the other line.

"Yes, my friend and I were shot, we're on N. Los Robles...hurry, my friend is hurt..." I panted as my vision began to become dotted.

"Alright we are sending out a team. Talk to me, what is your name and the name of your friend?" she asked me with concern.

"His name is Dr. Leonard Hofstadter and mine is Adalyn Mallow" I laid my head on the concrete.

It felt so good as I closed my eyes before hearing her annoying voice again. I just wanted to sleep right now and she wasn't letting me.

"How old are you two Miss Mallow?" she asked me as I heard typing in the background.

"Leonard is about six years older than me so he is twenty six and I am twenty." I replied before dropping the phone as the ambulance had arrived.

We were each put into a different ambulance and hooked up to machines. I had passed out as soon as they jostled me. I had one last look at Leonard before I passed out.

I hope he is okay, I thought to myself as everything went black.

Leonard woke up and noticed he was in a hospital. He also noticed that his arm was burning, or felt like it, and Adalyn was no where in sight. He sat up before a nurse had walked in.

"Oh Dr. Hofstadter, good to see you're awake. You are you feeling?" she asked as she was checking the tubes that were hooked up to him.

"Well my arm feels like it's burning in pain. Where is Adalyn?" he asked her as she pulled back and wrote something down on the charts.

"She was taken in for surgery not to long ago." she replied with a smile before leaving.

Leonard sat by himself for what seemed like ages. He sighed as he leaned back and tried to sleep but something told him of a bad feeling and he didn't like it.

"I hope Adalyn is alright" he whispered to himself before falling back asleep.

"Oh jeez my head hurts" I whispered as I put a hand on my head.

A nurse walked in to check my vitals and bandages. I blinked my eyes as she turned down the lights a little.

"How do you feel Miss Mallow?" she asked me with a smile.

I groaned as I placed my left hand on my right shoulder.

"It hurts like hell" I muttered as I looked at her.

She nodded and wrote something down on my charts. She looked back up at me then at the board as she wrote something on there.

"What happened to Leonard?" I whispered, my throat was dry.

She helped me to sit up before giving me some water. She was a gentle nurse.

"He's in the next room. I gave you another dose of morphine to numb the pain and get you healed." she smiled at me as she took the cup away from my hands.

"How long was I out?" I asked her as I found it easier to talk.

"You were only out for a day, nothing too major. You did lose some blood though. We have you hooked up to one still. Just to be sure" she smiled again before leaving after checking everything once more.

Adalyn and Leonard both thought the same thing before the fell asleep...

I hope Adalyn/Leonard is okay...

I hope you are enjoying the story so far. I would like opinions so I know what I can do better. I wasn't for sure on Leonard's age so I just made up one. I don't know if they said it in the series. anyways, if you know then please tell me so I can make the correction. R and R. Adios! -Chevok
