Sorry about the length of the last chapter. I've been busy with everything in life lately, so I just figured I'd put up a chapter to keep the pixies quiet. Well, this chapter is dedicated to Kai Cullen a.k.a Keeks; Coss I say some things that aren't exactly tactful, and this is my apology for being honest. Brutally honest.

A few days must have passed with me slipping in and out of consiousness. "Sorry, Ali, the drugs are neccessary," Rose would say, slipping a needle into the crappy plastic white thing in my arm, "See you when you wake up." And every time I did awake, she was by my side, smiling with those sakura-shell lips of hers. I'd slip into a pit of dreamless dark, and be chasing her form. Always chasing, never reaching; But the moment my eyelids fluttered open, I'd reach her, right in front of me, with chaste kisses and secret touches.

NO MORE DRUGS! CAN'T! WON'T! NO!

"Ali," Rose breathed at me, a week after my arrival into this angels domain, "the doctor's given you the all clear. You can go." Two seconds later, Emmet and Kai came in the door, looking at me with hopeful eyes and carrying my suitcase. "Awesome" I murmured, secretly dreading being away from her, "Uhm" My eyes shot to the couple in the doorway "could you give me a moment? I'm not dressed..." Laughing slightly, Kai just shoved Emmet from the door and shut it behind them.

What do I do?! WHAT DO I DO?! Panic, panic, pani-

My thoughts were cut off as Rose caught me in her arms and pressed her lips against mine in a bittersweet, heartbreaking embrace "My number's in the front pocket of your jacket, I'll miss you." Before I could respond, she'd let me go and was helping me out of my hospital clothes.

"Uh.. Where's my other sock?" I asked, scouring the room with my eyes, "Is it under the bed?"

Smirking, Rose turned to me, the sock held high above her head. "Found it."

"Hey," I growled playfully, "that's mine, misses, give it back." Shaking her head she retorted "You're gonna have to work for it."

Letting a low growl rumble in my throat, I pounced on her and pushed her to the bed, the sock falling from her hand. Smiling, I licked up her swan-like neck, elicting a soft moan from the beauty underneath me. Leaving a trail of kisses ending in a lovely, slowly-raising purple mark back down her neck, I got up, retrieved my sock and walked haughtily from the room, hearing soft laughter coming from behind me.

I'll miss you too, but not for long...
