Hayley's POV
I was still sitting where I was and Ross had looked back at me after his friends bolted and I could see that he was sorry I had to see that. Ross made a move to come closer to me but I tensed real badly and he just backed up. Ross closed the door, sat down, and leaned up against it just staring over at me with a look of real concern on his face. There was a searing pain in my ankle and I winced a little. Ross looked at me with even more concern and now he had my eyes locked with his. Why he insists on driving me crazy with those eyes of his, I'll never understand. I started getting unusually sleepy again, but was fighting it off. I may trust him on a regular basis... but after that threat, Ross isn't coming near me for a while. My eyes lids started getting really heavy and it was getting really hard to fight off the sleepiness. No, I thought, don't give in. I got my gaze away from Ross's and my sleepiness faded a little. Somehow, I don't know specifically how, but somehow he's doing this to me. "Hayley" he said softly. I looked over at him, and a huge wave of sleepiness washed over me. Why did I look. "Please just give into it" he pleaded with me. I used whatever strength I had left to give him an icy stare that was telling him that I wasn't giving up that easily. "You're just a little warrior, aren't you?" he asked with a smile on his face, God I love that smile. I smiled sleepily and looked at the floor. "Hayley" he said and I looked up "Please?" and I nodded slowly. He was probably just doing this for my own good. Another sharp pain went through my ankle and I winced again. Ross got up, walked over, and sat down next to me. He put an arm over my shoulders an gave me a bit of a hug. I looked over at him, his face so close to mine. "Give into it" he said softly as a final wave of sleepiness washed over me. I leaned my head over on his shoulder as I resisted just a little, only so I could hear him talk to me a little more, 'cause I knew he would. "I promise nothing bad will happen to you... but I do promise that your ankle will be fine when you get up" he said soothingly stroking my hair. I looked up at him again and he kissed my cheek softly and smiled at me. "Promise?" I mumbled softly. Ross smiled at me lightly. "Have I lied to you yet?" he asked, and I let myself fall asleep.
