Hey Guys! Guess what? I actually published a chapter on time! Whoo! I actually wrote this weeks chapters pretty quickly but they are some of my favorites, this one especially. It kinda plays off the sweet and innocent romance between Leo and Emma and I just love it so much! I hope you guys enjoy this chapter as much as I do!
Leo's POV
Emma, Jordi, Dash, and I are walking through the 5th floor hallways looking around desperately.
"Where could that girl be?" Dash exclaims. "Emma didn't you say her room was down this way?" Emma pops her head out of the room she was just peeking in and points down the hall.
"Yea, it should be right down there." We all turn our eyes to where Emma is pointing and we see Nurse Jackson marching out of a room. She makes eye contact with me - go figure - before starting towards us. I whisper for everyone to stand together as she comes over to address us.
"Leo, what are you all doing up here?" She asks irritably.
"We're looking for Bee." I explain before pointing to the room she had just came from. "Is she in there?" Nurse Jackson hesitates a moment before answering.
"Yes. She's in there." She sighs. "I've been trying to wake her up for the past twenty minutes. In fact I was just on my way to get the ice water." I grimace, remembering the countless times Nurse J has dumped freezing water on my head.
"Let us try!" Jordi pipes up. "I bet we could get her up." I grin at Nurse Jackson and she gives us all stern looks.
"I don't know if that's a good idea." She say carefully. "She had a rough night last night, I don't really know if she's in the mood for visitors."
"Well too bad, we have a big day planned for her today." Dash argues. I give him a look before turning to Nurse Jackson charmingly.
"I'm sorry that she had a rough night. Hopefully we can help put her in a better mood today though." Nurse Jackson still looks apprehensive. I speak up once more with a hint of sarcasm. "Besides, I'm sure anything's better than the ice water."
She looks at us, we're not much to look at, but she still stares us down. Finally she sighs before motioning us to follow her into Phoebe's room. "I hope you kids have a plan." She says behind her. I grin slyly at my friends.
"I'm sure we can come up with something." I respond.
Time Skip
"Miss Bee, this is the last time I'm going to tell you." Nurse Jackson scorns. We are all standing in Phoebe's room. Phoebe has completely camouflaged herself in her plain sheets. The only thing I can see of her besides the outline of her body beneath the blankets is a single strand of blonde hair that has escaped the mound of pillows she has constructed over her head.
"It's time to get up." Nurse Jackson crosses her arms but its not like Phoebe can see her. There's a groan from Bee's bed. Nurse J rolls her eyes before nodding to me and stomping out of the room.
I motion to Emma who holds a hand up to her mouth, trying to contain her giggles. I roll my eyes but I can't hold back my own smile. Emma points to Jordi, whose eyes widen in turn. I nod to him. I don't know how much longer I can take this before I burst out laughing.
"Alright Phoebe." Jordi says loudly. "You asked for it!" We all raise the pillows we had snatched from various vacant rooms and bring them down onto Bee with mumbled thuds. She fumbles with her blanket fort before finally escaping from its grasp. I'm laughing so hard my side hurts.
"Guys!" Phoebe exclaims. She tries to glare at us but one last thump on the head from Emma makes her tough exterior crumble and she's laughing with us. We all catch our breath and the room quiets. "I hate you guys." Phoebe jokes shaking her head. Jordi lets out a small chuckle.
"No you don't." He says. Bee looks over towards him and they exchange shy smiles. I glance at Emma with the same look on my face but she is looking painfully at Jordi and Bee. There's a pain in my chest, a little bit of jealousy for Jordi still lingering in my system, but Emma's mine now. Besides he obviously has a thing for Bee.
Bee breaks her eyes away from Jordi, giving us all a small smile. "Well I appreciate the wake up call but I'm going to try to go back to sleep." She says.
"Are you kidding me yo?" Dash blurts out. Phoebe shrugs, raising her eyebrows questioningly.
"There is no way we're letting you go back to sleep." Emma says. "We have a big day planned and you've already put us behind schedule."
"No one said you guys needed me to carry on with your day." Bee says. It almost seems like there's a pang of sadness in her voice. Jordi begins to laugh and so do I.
"She's kidding right?" I address the rest of the crew. "Jordi, her." Jordi and Dash move in on Bee, each of them taking one of her arms dragging her out of bed.
"Are you serious right now?" Phoebe groans.
"Does it look like we're kidding?" Emma giggles as we all race out of Phoebe's room.
"Wait!" Bee laughs but there's urgency in her voice. "I'm not dressed!"
"You had your chance!" Dash jibes pulling her alongside him.
"I'm in my pjs!" She cries.
"You're also in a hospital." I say. "Who are you trying to impress?" She blushes and I know she's referring to Jordi.
"I'll take you back to your room after breakfast to get changed." Emma consoles with a kind smile on her face.
"That's if the cafeteria's even open for breakfast this late." Dash interjects.
"It's only 9:30 Dash." I laugh. "I'm sure its still open." We walk into the service elevator and Bee shakes the boys off her arms.
"You guys can go on without me, I'm not that hungry." She says with a shrug. I roll my eyes.
"Shut up Bee. You're coming with us. I doubt Jordi cares about how messed up your hair is right now." Her jaw drops and she smacks me hard on the arm before giggling awkwardly. The elevator dings and the doors creak open.
"I swear I am so going to get you for that comment." She hisses quietly beside me. I shake my head with a coy smile on my face. I turn to Emma.
"Young Love, isn't it adorable?" I say with an exaggerated sigh. Emma giggles and gives me a quick peck on the cheek. Bee rolls her eyes. I can tell she debating on staying behind with us or rushing to catch up to Jordi and Dash.
"Go on stupid. Go catch up to lover boy." I give her a gentle shove on the back.
"God Leo," She says shaking her head. "Are you always this blunt?"
"Yes." Emma and I reply at the same time. We all laugh before Phoebe races up beside Jordi. He gives her a small smile as Bee tries to brush her hair out with her fingers. I smile before reaching down to intertwine Emma's fingers in my own
Super cute right? I can't stop smiling after reading this chapter! I have exams this week so don't be surprised if Wednesday's chapter accidentally gets bumped to Thursday. Wish me luck, I'm definitely going to need it!
