Ch 5

Vicki went to find out what room Mike was in as the others waited in the waiting room.

'Kerrie, that was amazing. What you did to save Mike. How did you learn to do that?'

'I taught myself. I read some books on healing and I've been trying it on minor things like paper cuts. I wanted to try to help my uncle who has cancer but right after I started he stopped me. Tonight was the first time I've really done it.'

'You are a great witch. I'm sorry I doubted you.'

'That was the past.' Vicki came out to the waiting room looking relieved.

'Kerrie, Mike wants to see you.' Kerrie followed her down the hallway. 'Thank you so much for helping him. The doctors were surprised that he didn't bleed out right away.' Vicki waited outside the room as Kerrie walked in.

'Kerrie, I don't know what to say. Vicki told me what you did-'

'I'm just glad I could help. How are you feeling?'

'Not to bad considering I was stabbed. How did you...'

'I used energy to heal you. It's my latest area of study.' Mike nodded not really understanding what she was saying. 'How long are you in for?'

'I should be home tonight. Just waiting for the approval to go home.'

'That's good.' A nurse walked into the room breaking the awkward silence as Coreen walked into the room.

'Spaz, do you want Henry to drop you off at the hotel?'

'That sounds good. I hope you feel better soon.' Kerrie said before leaving the room. She started walking down the hallway and didn't realize Coreen wasn't next to her until she got to the lobby.

'She better not-'

'Oh she is.' Henry said from his spot on the couch. Kerrie looked at the ground with her cheeks flushed. Back in the room Coreen looked at Mike smirking.

'You like her don't you?' She said pulling up a chair to his bed.

'Coreen, right now isn't the best time.'

'Kerrie's single, just so you know. Plus she is gonna be here for two more days before going home. If you ask her out on a date I'm sure she'll say yes.' Vicki walked back into the room as Coreen stood up.

'Vicki, Henry is gonna drive Kerrie back to the hotel and then drop me off at home. He said for you to call him if you need a ride.'

'Tell him I'm gonna take a cab to Mike's place and get him settled.' Coreen nodded as she hurried down the hallway.

'I can't believe you. The guy got stabbed and there you are trying to hook me up with him.' Kerrie said quickly.

'I just made some suggestions.' Coreen said shrugging.

'Coreen, Kerrie seems like a nice girl why would you set her up with someone like Mike?' Henry said laughing to himself.

'Mike is a nice guy. I know where Kerrie lives there is a shortage of decent guys-'

'Coreen, enough. I get this same speech from Kayte all the time.' Kerrie said as they walked to Henry's car. The ride to the hotel was silent.

'Kerrie, are we gonna go to the New Age store tomorrow?'

'Sure, let's meet there at 11.'

'Ok, you get some sleep.'

'Bye, thanks for the ride, Henry.'

'Your welcome.' Kerrie walked into the hotel as Henry drove Coreen back to her apartment.

After dropping Coreen off Henry went out to a bar so he could feed. At the hospital Mike got the ok to go home. He finished filling out paperwork as Vicki waited in the hallway for him.

'You didn't have to wait for me.' Mike said walking out of the room.

'I figured you'd like company for awhile.' Mike shrugged.

'I actually just want to sleep and think about what happened tonight.'

'I'll at least get in the cab with you and make sure you get home ok.'

'Fine.'
