"Guns, bombs or maybe a few missiles?"

Hayley laughed, "You should see your faces right now."

Dylan lifted her dress, "What else do you have under there? Guns, bombs or maybe a few missiles?" Hayley hit him in the head, "Don't just randomly lift up a woman's dress!"

I laughed, "Dylan no perving on your sister, that's called incest." He rolled his eyes and grabbed the knife from Hayley. He muttered under his breath as he cut the leather straps.

I thought back to what Mr. Faux told me as I watched them throw insults back and forth at each other. I contemplated telling them but I feared the aftermath of me not being able to keep my mouth shut.

Dylan finally cut all the straps and I slightly flinched as Hayley helped me up to a sitting position on the bed. I leaned my back on the pillow and pulled on the chain restraints on the wrist of my left arm.

Dylan looked at the knife, "I don't think this can cut through those." He turned to Hayley, "Got any lasers under there?" She rolled her eyes at him and sat beside me on the bed, "How are you feeling now?"

I slightly exercised my back, "My spine feels like jelly and my head feels like it's splitting in two but otherwise I'm fine."

The door opened and Sebastian walked in with a bag of McDonald's in hand. Close behind him was a very panicked Cloey. She ran towards me and hugged me, "You're alive!" I chuckled, "You're hugging too tight. Let go already." She let go and slapped me on the arm. I flinched, "Ow! What was that for?"

Hayley stepped in, "What's wrong with you? Can't you see that she's injured or are you blind? Who the hell are you anyway?"

Oh shit.

Cloey walked up to her and stood below her nose, staring up into her face. She flashed her one of her most famous fake smiles, "I'm Cloey, her bestfriend. Who are you?" Hayley narrowed her eyes, "I'm Hayley, her friend. Someone that actually cares about her."

Cloey looked at me, "Katie, you should choose your friends a bit more wisely."

Both of them glared at each other. Dylan stepped in between the both of them, "Please ladies, no catfights in the hospital. Let's just sit down and take a breather." The both of them hmphed and sat on different sides of the room.

Sebastian placed the McDonald's bag and the sprite on the table beside my bed, "The tension is crazy high in here." I sighed, "I was really hoping they'd get along." Sebastian took the hamburger from the bag and handed it to me, "Give them some time, maybe they'll come around."

I thought back to what Sebastian said about Hayley and when I met her for the first time. At first, I didn't really like her that much but as we hung out more I started liking her bit by bit. I guess she's just misunderstood at times since she isn't really friendly to begin with.

I sighed taking a bite of my chicken burger as they bickered from across the room.

Sebastian brought his hand to my head and caressed my hair, "Are you feeling any better?" I nodded. He checked my arms and legs, "The spots are disappearing."

I swallowed the chunk of food that was in my mouth and took a sip of my lemon-flavored Sprite.

"Did you kiss me yesterday?"

Sebastian's cheeks tinged slightly red at the sudden question. The room went silent and all eyes landed on us. Dylan chuckled, "I knew it!" I looked at him, "Knew what?"

He slung his arm over Sebastian's shoulders and wiggled his eyebrows, "You like her." A blush rose to my cheeks.

Sebastian removed Dylan's arm from his shoulder and sighed, "It was Dr. Henderson that asked me to kiss her."

Hayley furrowed her brows, "Why did Dr. Henderson ask you to kiss her?" Sebastian scratched the back of his neck, "Well, they wanted to knock her out and Dr. Henderson proposed I slip a pill into her mouth."

I touched my lips, I did feel when he slipped the pill into my mouth. I looked at him as he continued to explain himself. But, why did he continue kissing me after doing that?

I shook my head. He probably just wanted to make sure I swallowed it.

Cloey sat beside me on the bed, "How did all this happen?" I told her about all that happened yesterday, well most of what happened. She'd be pissed if she found out I was going to a theme park without her. The last time I went to the movies without her I had to write a fifteen page apology. In my defense, she was out of the country at the time and I was bored.

Dylan sighed, "Who knew that weird tree would be so dangerous." My eyes widened as Cloey turned to Dylan with furrowed brows, "You were there?" Okay, I may have left out that I was there with Dylan.

Dylan nodded and she asked the question I hoped she wouldn't ask. "Where were you going?"

I shook my head behind Cloey.

She turned to look at me and I flashed a quick smile. She returned her attention to Dylan as he started speaking, "We were going to a the-" Sebastian cut him off with a hit to the head. I breathed a sigh of relief, Sebastian picked up on my signals.

Dylan rubbed the back of his head, "Dude what the hell?" Sebastian looked away, "I saw a mosquito." Sebastian whispered something in his ear and his brows shot up. He looked at me and then at my confused bestfriend.

His bottom lip sexily slid into his mouth while he contemplated what to say but in the end he still stumbled over his words, "I-I mean we were going to the...park." Cloey tilted her head to the side, "You don't need to travel on that road to get to the park."

Dylan nervously chuckled, "We were going to another park, in another city."

"To do what?"

Cloey, why are you so damn inquisitive?

Dylan's eyes danced around the room, "To meet umm-"

"His grandmother," I quickly finished the sentence. He smiled and nodded. I continued, "We were going to collect cookies." Cloey folded her arms, "You were going over to another city to collect cookies?" I nodded, "Yup, Dylan convinced me to give them a try. H-He said she makes the best cookies in the world."

Cloey narrowed her eyes at me, "But you don't like cookies."

I internally groaned, I forgot she knew me inside and out.

Hayley chimed in, "I thought Grandma lived in-" Dylan grabbed my sprite and pushed it on Hayley's mouth. Before the situation could get any more awkward the door opened.

Dr. Henderson walked in and shook her head upon seeing the cut up straps on the floor. She disregarded it and spoke with a serious expression on her face, "I have some news."

Creation is hard, cheer me up!
