Hurt, Confused, Loved

Gwen's P.O.V.

I had been dreaming about a lot of things. The Ultimate crap flashed through my mind along with the fact that I could be captured right about now. Then one person in particular stuck. Ryan Vasquez. Then a sharp pain shot through my entire body and my eyes shot open to see him, Ryan I mean, kissing me! I almost gasped, gagged, or screamed, but I just went along with it…for a while.

"Oh, gosh, this is disgusting!" That was Kale. Then Ryan was pried away from me.

When I saw Kale's face, which I was used to having smiling and young, he was angry, tired, and worried.

"Kale?" I asked slowly. He looked down at me in a disgusted frown.

"Way to leave me here! Way to leave me sitting up all night waiting for you, and for what? Just so you could come back with a boyfriend?! Was that your stupid mission?!" He snapped. I shifted uncomfortably.

"No! We went to save Alex and…" I began.

"Yes, but you left me here! I didn't know where you were! Then you show up in a freaking wedding dress half dead and not expected to pull through!" He growled. What? Oh, yah, well maybe?

"I'm sorry Kale," I whispered. He got very close and bared his teeth. I had almost never seen him act like this.

"I was scared that you had died! I thought that I'd lost you," he snarled ever so quietly.

"Sorry," I tried again. Then he wrapped me in a hug and buried his face in my hair.

"Kale?" I questioned.

"I thought I had lost you. I thought you were gone and it almost killed me...I-I was scared, Gwen," his voice shook. That's the Kale I know. I pushed him back and wiped his tears away.

"I just, I figured you could live on your own for a few days," I mumbled.

"The bed was empty," he smirked.

"Yah," I grinned.

"I'll go get the others," Ryan offered. And like that he was off.

"Don't move," Kale ordered.

"I don't think I can," I grunted. He gave me a funny look.

"M-My s-side hurts bad!" I wailed as I wrapped my arms around my middle. Oh, gosh. The pain was like I had been set on fire on the inside.

"Gwen?" He asked softly as I bit down on my lip. I began to cough.

"Gwen, hun," I felt him grab my arm, but I was in to much pain to care. I couldn't speak. He laid me against his chest.

"Shh, it's fine. You just broke a rib," he rocked me back and forth. My arms were still wrapped around my middle when the others came in.

"What's wrong?!" Dr. M hurried forward and began to check me for wounds.

"She's hurting, bad," Kale explained.

"Gwen? Dear? Can you hear me?" She asked. I nodded a little.

"What hurts?" She proceeded on. I couldn't speak. My mouth opened but nothing came out. Kale looked down at me and then back to Dr. M.

"Her stomach or ribs," he tried. Then Dr. M gave me a shot and it soothed the pain. She forced me to lay down.

"That's enough action for you today," she grumbled. I tried to sit up anyway.

"Angel! Read my mind!" I hollered. The group needed to know. They needed to know about what happened at the School.

The girl looked cautious. Then I felt drained and all I could hear was Dr. M say that "The medicine was working." And that I'd be out for a while.

Then I went under, dreaming of that kiss
