Started saying Rory while throwing his recent clean body fall into his soft bed where Skye was, he took off his shoes and grabbed some of the popcorn that Skye was eating. - ... The girl mentioned something about some random guys kidnapping her on the middle of the night and putting some weird crap on her body to make her have superpowers? - Yeah, that's what she said. Rory yawned and shook his head a little bit trying to haunt away sleepiness, Skye smiled sadly when he saw his friend like that, Rory recently had to cover 3 shifts with the Runners when two of his teammates got injured running away from the cops. He tried to take a cold shower but it seemed like that didn't worked too well. - You know Rory; we could just go to bed if you're too tired to watch the movie. - Really? Thank you! Rory grabbed a pillow and a blanket and got ready to sleep in two seconds Skye rolled his eyes while smiling and got up to turn off the lights as well as the T.V. then he grabbed a blanket and lay on the bed with his best friend. - So are you ready for your date tomorrow Skye? - Uh, don't even remind me I'm freaking out about this. - Just remember that if he gets too fresh... - I just need to kick his nuts. They both laughed a little bit and stared into each others eyes, Rory grabbed Skye's hand and smiled, Skye returned the smile. - I'm so glad you're my best friend Skye. - Me too Rory. And they fell under the night's spell and slept peacefully until the morning came. The next morning the boys got up and after the morning preparations they went to eat breakfast. Skye loved Rory's family and Rory's family loved Skye they once said that Skye was part of their family, like the older brother Rory never had. - Good morning boys, you hungry? Asked Lindsay (Rory's mom), the boys nodded their heads and went to sit on the table, a couple of seconds later there was a loud noise upstairs followed by a little groan, Lindsay let out a chuckle. - Are you alright there honey?! - Yeah mom! After another loud noise Zachary came down the stairs running like al little snowball. - Good morning! Hey Skye! - Hey Zach Zachary threw himself over Skye and Skye hugged him back. Skye certainly loved this family and they loved Skye back, they were always happy to have him over and they were never judgmental about the sexual preferences both boys had. - Where's Mr. A? Asked Skye while Lindsay put the waffles on the table, she smiled and responded. - He's working; he's got a big case today so he left early. - Mm... I see; I bet he'll win. After that they shared a small conversation about nothing in particular, even Zach was happy this morning and that made Rory smile. Skye told him what happened on the streets when Zachary tried to protect another boy and how in the end the other boy protected Zachary, Rory knew that Zach was sad because he felt useless not being able to protect a friend. But he also sensed something weirder in Zach. Sure he was sad but things like that happened before and he never thought too much about it until now, Rory sensed that this friend probably was really important for Zach. But now Zach was happy, and that was because of Skye, because Skye always knew how to make everyone else smile and Rory felt happy to have him as his friend. Then he looked at the clock. - Crap, time to go Skye! - Language Rory! Said Lindsay in her mother-tone and Rory laughed saying sorry; Skye got up and said his goodbyes and of course his thanks for having him over and they both ran outside the house. They were running towards the nearest train station when a car stopped besides them. When the windows came down they were greeted by a warm smile. - Hey guys. Need a ride? - M-Mathew... Was all that Skye could say before his mind went on off mode, Mathew was wearing his team's jacket and a black polo shirt with the chest buttons open. Rory noticed Skye's mind shut down at the glance of his crush and he went to open the car's back door. - Sure, C'mon Skye you can ride on the front sit. - Eh, oh yeah sure. Skye got on the passengers seat just as Rory said and closed the door, after that he stared at Mathew with utterly shyness and smiled a little bit. - Good morning... - Good morning Skye... Hey Rory. - Sup' Said Rory and Mathew started the car and they rode away trough the streets of Seagull City. Rory took out his phone and started to play without caring really about anything else, Mathew eyed him for a second and Rory stared back, Rory blinked an eye and mouthed a silent `talk to him' and Mathew nodded with a smile he then realized that Rory knew about his feelings towards Skye and probably was willing to help him and that made him feel like he was ahead of Scott, his smile grew wider and he started talking to Skye. - So... I've heard that there are a really capable couple of actors on your art class project. - A couple? - Yeah, you and Timothy, people say you're really good at acting. - They probably don't know what they're talking about. Tim is the great actor I suck. - Tim? So you're friends with this guy? Asked Mathew in a tone of disbelief and weirdness, after all Skye wasn't the type of guy who hangs out with popular guys like Timothy Payne, well except for Scott and himself but they had their (romantic) motives - W-well... I'm not exactly h-his friend I- - They have a date today. There was a great screech sound from the car brakes; luckily everyone had their seatbelts so nobody got hurt. Mathew looked at Rory who just said those words with an incredibly worried face. - A what? `'Mm... I see, so the school's idol is in love with my best friend... I cant let him have him'' thought Rory, he had the theory about Mathew liking Skye but now he was sure and he didn't like it one bit, it was dangerous to get involved with Mathew and Rory knew it, he knew how dangerous can be the wrath from the girls at their school and he needed to protect Skye from all those dangers. - A date... Skye we can walk the rest of the way, lets go. - B-but Rory. - I said lets go Skye. Before someone could say anything Rory got out of the car and opened the passengers door to drag Skye out, but Mathew quickly grabbed Skye's arm. - Hey what's going on here? - I don't want to be in a car where is not safe, if we didn't had the seatbelts we would've flied away and die or something. Answered Rory to Mathew in a cold voice, Mathew blinked his eyes on disbelief. - That's a little bit unrealistic don't you think? - R-Rory, please don't be rude... he just made a mistake and he is doing us a favor so- - Why did you pulled the brakes when you heard about Skye's date? Skye blinked twice and turned to see Mathew after all he also wanted to know the answer to that question but Mathew couldn't say anything he started to open and close his mouth trying to explain but he couldn't find the words so Rory made a false statement to take Skye from that car. - You are homophobic right? - What? No! Mathew let go of Skye's arm and Rory took that opportunity to pull Skye out of the car. - I don't believe you Mathew, guys like you had hurt us before, and I are not going to trust you yet. Before anyone could say another word Rory closed the door and ran away taking Skye by his hand, Mathew stared at them wondering if Rory was really on his side of this love game or not. Now Rory didn't hate Mathew, in fact he was fully on approval of any future relationship between him and Skye but he had his motives to protect Skye for now and he also knew that if Mathew really but REALLY wanted Skye that much he wouldn't back off from something like this. - Rory what the hell was that? Do you hate him or something? That was rude! And not a little rude, that was really rude! - Listen, Skye... Said Rory stopping and facing his friend, his face was filled with worries and concern. - I... I heard the girls talking; they want to do something bad to you since you're hanging out with Mathew and Scott... I don't know how big it is. - ... So... you are protecting me... - Well I- - Rory! I don't like that and you know it! I hate being protected from everything, my parents did it when I came out, that asshole superhero did it and now you're doing it. - I know I'm sorry; it's just that... you know how I hate to see you hurt. - But it's not your fight green eyes! I really appreciate it but I don't like people worrying about me... But... thanks. - ... I will always worry about you brother. They smiled at each other then they walked to the school and Skye kept talking about how Rory should apologize to Mathew when the entered the school and everyone in the hallway grew silent, Rory got a bad feeling but Skye didn't noticed and continued walking. From afar there was one Dustin Perry with his teammates waiting for the fruit of their nasty work. They saw with happy evil faces how their target was getting closer to the trap. Skye walked without noticing the evil faces from all the students, there was something going on and Rory could notice. - Darn it. Hey help me open my locker I need to tie my shoes. - Sure. Said Rory and he started pressing the combination on the locker, Dustin saw this and a weird feeling grew on his chest, he then got the urge to warn Rory about what was going to happen but just before he could run to warn him. *BANG* - GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!! - Rory! Rory fell into the ground and rolled on the ground screaming in horrible pain while holding his eyes, there was red paint all over the place but Skye didn't knew if that was paint or blood maybe it was both. There was a trap on them locker, some sort of paint gun or maybe a paint bomb that was ready to explode at the moment when the locker got open. The target was obviously Skye but it seems like their plan didn't went so well. Skye kneeled down where his friend was and hold onto him and Rory kept on screaming in pain and squirming on Skye's arms with tears, paint and probably blood on his face. The whole people that were waiting for a funny show noticed that this prank went way too far and crowed around the scene without any idea of what to do. - Skye?! - Scott! There was Scott, he walked trough the crowd pushing them aside and then he saw the red and messy scene. There was Rory squirming and yelling and there was Skye with tears on his eyes close to have a breakdown. - Scott! Please help him! I-I-I don't know what to do! Help me carry him to the infirmary or something please! - Ok, ok calm down; I'll take him to the infirmary. Scott took Rory on his arms without making any effort, after all Rory wasn't exactly heavy and Scott was really strong. He walked trough the crowd yelling them to move aside and Skye quickly stood up to follow them but then he saw them. The jocks were watching the scene and some of them were actually laughing at their prank, in front of them was Dustin with a shocked face. Skye walked to where they were and when he was in front of Dustin... *SLAP* A strong and sound slap was planted on Dustin's face, his cheek immediately got red and the rest of his teammates got silent, actually the whole crowd got silent, they never saw Skye acting this way, they never saw the hate-filled eyes Skye had at that moment they never saw that anger in Skye neither they ever saw his trembling body tensing at the pure wrath that ran trough his veins. - If you want to hit me or do something to me fucking do it! But don't mess with Rory ever! If you set a trap make sure I fell into it but if any of you hurt, touch or even dare to see my best friend I will fucking make you regret you'd been born! Are we fucking clear you damn group of testosterone filled pigs with self-esteem problems and obviously homophobic/homosexual tendencies?! Are we fucking clear?! None of them moved; they felt that if they were to move Skye would kill them at that very moment. Skye just turned around and ran across the hall to find the infirmary, the whole crowd moved apart to let him pass. Skye could see the infirmary at the end of the hallway but he was stopped by Scott when he was about to enter. - Wait right there Skye, the nurses said that she needed privacy to apply the first aid, I called 911 they're on their way. - I need to get in! He needs me! - Wait Skye wait! You don't need to see him right now! - You don't understand! It's my fault that paint bomb was on my locker! It's my fault; it's my entire fault Scott! Skye buried his face on Scott's chest and started crying, Scott hugged him and brushed his hair while making soothing sounds with his mouth, Skye hugged him harder and kept saying that it was all his fault and Scott kept saying that that was a lie. - It's not your fault Skye, the guys who did this; those are the ones at fault. - ... Scott. Skye calmed down and hugged Scott with softness, Scott smiled and hugged him back, they shared a warm feeling trough that hug, Skye rested his head on Scott's big pectoral muscles and could hear his heart beating fast, he didn't know why was that but he just enjoyed for a moment that heartbeat that seemed to be calming him down. Scott was also enjoying that warm feeling, he was glad that was him the one to be calming Skye, he was glad that Skye was on his arms looking for comfort and he was happy that it seemed to work. Skye broke the hug and looked up Scott looked down and they shared... `'The look'' But then the door opened and Skye gently pushed Scott aside in order to talk to the nurse. - How is he? Is he ok?! - He'll be fine, luckily the paint wasn't toxic, I contacted his parents and the ambulance is coming in a second. He calmed down from the pain a little bit... - So can I see him? Please? - ... ok but just a second. Skye walked fast and entered the infirmary, there was a nurse besides Rory and a bunch of instruments near the nurse, Rory was sniffing but was calming down and he had his eyes folded, Skye ran towards him ignoring the horrible sweet smell of medicine and alcohol that the infirmary had. - Green eyes? - H-hey... I wonder if my eyes will be green after this... - You'll be fine the ambulance will be here in a sec. - It hurts like a mother. - I'm so sorry Rory I'll go with you and- - What are you talking about? Said Rory and smiled kindly. - You're not at fault. And you have a date today so you should go. - I don't care about that I want to go with you, make sure you're ok! - I'm fine, don't miss class for my sake - Rory! - Skye, I'm in pain so people is going to do whatever the hell I say right now and you know that it feels awesome. So now you listen to me and do whatever the hell I say. Go to class and I'll be fine, my brother will text you when the doctors say that I just need rest for some days ok? And then you'll go to the hospital after school and visit me, then you will go home and have your date. Got it? Rory had his dead serious voice and Skye knew that it was useless to argue right now but still he wanted to go and be with him, Rory was his best friend and that trap was meant to him not Rory. Then he heard a voice in his head... He nodded at that voice and looked at the nurse who had his wasn't watching them at that moment. - Ok Rory I'll do as you say but before you go. Skye put his index finger on Rory's forehead and a light shone trough his face. Rory could feel magic running trough his face and warming his eyes taking all the pain away. - This will assure you that everything will be fine. - Thanks. They whispered those words and the paramedics came trough the door of the infirmary, minutes later Rory and his family were on the hospital and Skye was sobbing son Scott's arms once again, they were on the infirmary the nurses went away to give them privacy, Skye liked the nurses they were nice and reliable they also treated Skye lots of times before when he was bullied, so they were sort of friends. Scott was hugging Skye softly, they were sitting on one of the beds on the infirmary and Skye was finally calming down, it seemed like Scott's heartbeat could calm him down, it was a relaxing calm and strong beat, Skye almost fell asleep on that embrace but then he remembered that Scott was a boy, this was probably weird for him so he slowly broke the hug. - Something's wrong? - N-no... it's just that you probably... you probably feel uncomfortable right now, hugging a boy and all that... - Not at all! I-I mean I'm just... Scott was out of words, he didn't knew what to say to Skye, he wasn't upset from hugging a boy... no that's not it, he wasn't upset from hugging Skye or something like that, it wasn't uncomfortable because he loved Skye but how was he supposed to explain that? Well he didn't had the time to do it because at that moment the door flew open and Mathew was there, Skye looked as he walked towards him and kneeled down to be at his height. - Hey... I heard about Rory... - Mathew... Skye smiled at him, he felt relaxed when Scott was hugging him but just seeing Mathew's face made him feel in peace, it was like his big blue eyes could light up the happiness out of him, so he responded to those feelings by smiling. Both Scott and Mathew were dumbfounded for a moment when their hearts skipped a beat but then Mathew recovered his senses and smiled back at him. - Is he ok? - Yeah, he will be alright, he forbidden me to miss school but I'm going to see him after school. - And are you alright? - Yeah, actually Scott stayed with me so I'm ok. Said Skye smiling and Mathew glared at him, Scott responded with a smirk and you could almost see thunders coming trough their eyes and clashing with strong forces. As usual Skye go the wrong idea, he thought that Mathew was mad because his best friend was alone with him on the infirmary. `'Maybe he thought I tried to flirt with him or something! Now he must be mad because he thinks I'm going to make Scott gay or something'' Skye didn't realized that if that was the case then the one being glared at would be him and Shawn who was listening everything since the beginning didn't felt like saying that to him probably because it was too bothersome. - Hem, I'm sorry Mathew, I-I swear I didn't annoy him or anything... - What are you talking about Skye? Asked Mathew with a weird face and then the wheels on his head started turning and he did a face palm at Skye's naïve mind. But then this was just like Skye, he always expected to have the fault of everything. Scott also noticed what was happening and sighed in defeat, Skye was thick headed when it came to love. - Did I say something wrong? - It's nothing Skye. Want me to walk you to your next class? Asked Mathew while dropping a huge sigh and Skye smiled and denied with his head without getting this whole situation, he was really thick-headed when it came to love. - I don't want to impose of you Mathew... or Scott. - C'mon Skye I walk you to every class every day right? Said Scott with a grin on his face and Skye smiled back while Mathew just looked at him with another weird expression on his face that Skye couldn't identify. - Y-you walk him every day? - Yeah so? - So! I'm leaving now; see you guys at lunch or something. Both rivals were glaring at each others and never noticed when Skye got up and ran towards the door; after the door was closed a heavy awkward atmosphere filled the room. Mathew's mouth twisted itself in a smirk before talking. - You walk him to every single class? Gosh you're desperate - S-shut up jerk! Said Scott with a heavy blush on his cheeks and Mathew laughed out loud at that sort of expression. - So much time knowing you and I haven't seen that expression before. - Shut up Mat! I'm sure you've seen it before and then just forgot. - Yeah I'd seen that blush expression when your mother makes that meat spaghetti and you droll all over the table - W-wait I don't do that! Mathew started laughing again and Scott joined in the laugh once again and they keep laughing for a while... after that moment Mathew looked at his friend/rival with worry. - How is she anyways? Your Mom I mean... - She is... still depressed, she misses you, just this morning she asked about you. - I know, I'm going to see you guys tomorrow... I'd been so busy lately. - It's fine. - I know you need me right now, I'll be there... Scott let out a sigh and smiled at Mathew, even with the whole rival stuff going on they were still best friends, and you couldn't put a price on a relationship like that. Friendship... That's another feeling that can conquer the entire world; its power it's only compared to the power of love and now this friendship, these two boys were in a competition for the love of their lives. And they were sure that he was worth it. At lunch, Skye sat down on his usual table but he was feeling lonely... Rory wasn't there, the whole day he received weird looks from all the student body and under normal circumstances he could take all those stares but right now he just wanted to scream and tell them to stop, he couldn't take the stares when Rory wasn't there. `'Calm down Skye... he is ok and you know it'' said Shawn on his mind and Skye nodded his head `'I know, he is fine but I just can't take this, not without him, I hate them, they hurt Rory and I hate them because of that'' thought Skye while eating trying to look normal. - Hey... Skye looked up and there was Timothy smiling sadly at him, Skye smiled back on the same way and Timothy took it as an invitation to sit down. - How are you? I heard about Rory... how is he? - I'm fine, he... he is at the hospital, I'm going to see him after school but I'm sure he'll be fine. Said Skye trying to look sure of his own self and of what he was saying, Timothy could see it in his eyes, he could see that Skye was only trying to be strong and he knew that he felt guilty about what happened. - You know... we can cancel our date... - Rory would kill me if I do that... and it's not a date. - Keep telling yourself that, sweet cheeks. Timothy winked an eye and Skye blushed on a shade of deep red with an annoyed look on his face and Timothy just smiled at him widely, Skye couldn't believe that the serious-emotionless boy that everyone thought was Timothy was smiling on such a way, and that smile was directed to Skye only and exclusively him. Then Shawn couldn't help but think the phrase `shit is about to get down' when two other people sat on the same table, as you could guess this two were Mathew and Scott. - What's this entire thing about a date I'd been hearing about? Asked Scott looking directly at Skye, Mathew just took a bite from his food while looking at Skye in the same way. Skye cleared his throat without even knowing what to say and Timothy just dropped his smile to the cold expression he always wore before and then he answered the question. - Any problems with that? - I was actually talking to Skye if you wouldn't mind. Said Scott in a cold tone and Mathew smirked, Skye felt the horrible hostility against Timothy from both boys and he couldn't believe it, Scott looked obviously offended by that. - Excuse me? - Well I don't want to be rude but he was talking to Skye not you. So you could, I don't know... back off? I don't want to talk with someone as ugly as you. When Mathew said that Skye had to blink twice to believe that he wasn't dreaming, that comment was really jerky and idiot-jock like something that Skye never thought about Mathew, he didn't knew why they were acting like that but he couldn't take it, not today, so Skye stood up and looked at them both with the coldest stare ever. - Ok when you guys stop acting like the assholes that just fucked Rory's eyes then we can talk again, until then don't talk to me today and occupy your time to take your asses out of your heads. Let's go Tim. Skye took his things and Timothy got up grinning at the scene and they both left the cafeteria while Mathew and Scott were dumbfounded by seeing such things coming out of Skye's mouth. - W-what did just happen? Asked Mathew to the air and Scott just looked at him for a moment, and after that moment of glancing each others they both grinned and started laughing out loud because it wasn't good for them to have Skye mad at them, but his mad face was... thrilling for them too, sure they have to apologize for their behavior but for now they were going to laugh at the adorable pout that Skye makes when he is mad. Meanwhile Skye was walking trough the almost empty halls of the school with his annoyed pout on his face and with grinning Timothy following him, Skye walked towards the stairs and sat there, he sighed and hid his eyes under his knit winter hat; he is used to do that when he is feeling troubled or embarrassed about something. - I am so sorry about what happen back there Timothy. - Don't sweat it, I'm fine. That was quite the outburst you had back there. - Y-yeah sorry about that too. - Well... Started to say Timothy as he sat on the stairs right besides Skye, he lifted his arm and tenderly lifted Skye's knit hat to see him in the eyes and smiled once again. - ... You stood up for me and you barely know me... that was a really cool thing to do. - ... w-well they were being such jerks to you and today I'm in an awful mood for jock jerks... You did something to them? They are usually nice people. - Well I can only think of one thing. - Yeah? What it is? Timothy looked at Skye and bit his lower lip, yeah... he was the motive of the whole jerk treatment from Mathew and Scott but he couldn't tell him, there was a couple of reasons: 1 It was fun to keep the secret and 2 He didn't wanted them to be with Skye. He felt that if he said that both boys were into him he would probably end up with one of them instead of him. - No telling. - What? That's not fair. - Tell you at our date. Suddenly the bell rang and Timothy got up and sticks out his pierced tongue while he was leaving, Skye was about to stop him to ask again but the sea of students that suddenly appeared from nowhere stopped him. As the school day was ending and gym class was finally over Skye was putting some fresh clothes on after his shower on the locker room, normally he should wait for everyone to go home before using the showers so the rest of the guys wouldn't bother him but today he used the showers at the same time as the rest of them and even tough they were uncomfortable by his presence he wasn't giving a crap. - Skye... Skye slammed his locker and turned around with a look on his eyes that could kill anyone; Dustin took a step back when he got that look from Skye. The rest of the guys left already and only they were in the locker room so Dustin knew that he could speak about Rory with Skye without having anyone starting any weird rumor. Skye looked at him with disgust and hate. - What the hell do you want? - Look... I just want to know if he is ok. - And why would you care about Rory huh? - Well I... - ... Oh hell no. Rory saw on Dustin a hopeless look, he knew and recognized that hopeless look, because Rory had the same look when he talks about Dustin and Skye himself have the same look when he thinks about Mathew and the impossibilities of having a relationship with him... Skye recognized that look and he knew that it came from the bottom of Dustin's heart. - You like him... you actually like him! - What?! N-no I... - Oh don't give me that Perry! I know that look on your face. Dustin opened his mouth to say something but he stopped, he was at a loss of words, he was good denying his feelings; he used to hide his feelings when he was asked if he was ok with his dad marrying someone he hated and he was used to hide his feelings when the therapist asked him if his week had been good so you could say that he was pretty freaking darn good actually, but the feelings he had for Rory right now were just to strong to deny them right now. Because after one kiss, he was unable to deny Rory, the cat box had already opened itself. Skye just looked at him trying to say something but when nothing came out he just shook his head in disappointment, took his things and turned around to leave. - Please... I just want to know if he is alright. - If you want to know... go to the hospital and see him yourself... I'm sure he'll be happy... Skye was mad at him, but he knew that Rory had strong feelings towards Dustin... so he couldn't help but to help them just a little bit and he knew he would probably succeed when he saw the spark of hope on Dustin's eyes. - You... you really think so? - Yeah... and be sure to apologize. - ... Skye walked trough the exit and as he crossed the door he heard a `thank you' from Dustin, he then smiled to himself and walked trough the parking lot when a car stopped in front of him, the window came down and there was an apologetic smile on Mathew's face and Skye felt his heart melt. - Want me to drive you to the hospital? - Are you still being a dick? - Ha-ha... no... I'm sorry Skye. Skye smiled and went around to got up on the front seat, he put the seat belt on and stared at Mathew with a cocky smile on his face Mathew stared back without saying a thing, Skye laughed. - Say it again... - ...I'm sorry. - I like this feeling of power. - Don't tease me. - Ha-ha, ok you're forgiven, but don't do it again ok? `'I can't promise you that'' Thought Mathew as he nodded his head and started the car, they started a conversation about how the whole day all the teachers gave a talk about how bad is bullying in every single of the classes. Skye just said that they never really did anything to stop it before and that he doubt it stops anyways. They drove around the city; Mathew decided to take the long route to the hospital and Skye noticed but decided not to say anything, partly because he had a long day and a ride trough the city was calming for his mind and partly because he wanted to spent even a little more time with Mathew. Sometimes you keep quiet when you're having a nice and relaxing time with someone special, like when you're on a bed with someone while you're thinking about anything or when you're in front of a fireplace drinking coffee with someone and just stare at the comfortable fire that consumes the wood and irradiates pleasant heat. This was one of those moments, just a nice ride without saying a word. They were stealing glances at each other from time to time, every once in a while they would catch the sight of each other and then look at different places with their faces flushed. Skye felt his heart beat twice and he wondered if this is how love was supposed to feel like, just some innocent feeling in your heart that makes you happy. - We're here... Said Mathew with a hint of sadness in his voice when they reached for the parking lot of the hospital, Skye shared that look of sadness mixed with a kind smile that appeared on his lips, Mathew had the urge to reach him and kiss him right away but he knew that he needed to wait for that. It wasn't the right time, not just yet. - So I'm going... See you later? - You can bet on that one sweet one. Said Mathew and Skye blushed deeply as he exit the car, he walked some steps towards the hospital and looked behind just to see Mathew's car going away, he smiled one more time and went inside the hospital. To be continued...
