"Okay!" Dr. Wendell clapped his hands while smiling at me. "You're in perfect health and ready to go back home. You can sign out tomorrow if you'd like but you will need to come back for physical therapy on your leg."

I nodded and smiled up at him, "Thank you and I'll be signing out tomorrow, thank you again."

"Your welcome, come and see me before you leave so we can work out dates for your physical therapy." I nodded and watched him leave. Once he was out the door I let out a deep breath.

I looked at the empty bed on my left and sighed while rubbing my shoulder. I've been following Lynn's amazingly stupid advice and acting like it hasn't even happened the only way I know how, by ignoring Bennett since the whole 'I love you fist bump' thing happened. It's worked so far since he hasn't even tried to talk to me, all he does is smile at me and shake his head. Though on occasion he'll surprise me by kissing me and then act like he was just walking to his bed the whole time!

He's infuriating! Irritating! Gorgeous! Annoying! Cute! He's annoyingly cute and I can't take it!

Calming myself down I close my eyes and pull the blanket over my head. He's taking his daily walk with Declan right now, Jordan was here earlier but left to go to his afternoon class. I had been so wrapped up in being here I had started forgetting what day it was, it's Tuesday by the way.

Since I'm basically better I guess I can start going back to school in a few days. I feel both sad and happy at that fact. Maybe it's because I've spent everyday with all of them at some point and it brought me back to high school days when we hung out or saw each other everyday. I miss being with them all the time, when college started we spent less time with each other (especially with the whole Jordan drama) and whenever we were all home someone was asleep or tired or busy ignoring me.

It's bittersweet really.

I don't want it to stay like this all the time because when they weren't there I made more friends and had a different type of fun but I also want to stay in the bubble a little longer.

"Stop being so grumpy." The monotone voice let me know Bennett was back.

"I'm not grumpy! I just think Jordan shouldn't have a pink porcelain doll in the corner of his room facing the door."

I sat up making the blanket pool at my waist. I gave Declan an 'are you kidding me face' before busting out laughing. That was Jordan for ya. "When did he get that?"

Declan chuckled, leaving Bennett to walk to his bed by himself and sat down on the chair next to my bed. "A couple days ago but I didn't see it until last night when I tried to take back one of my shirts he stole, I had opened the door and freaked, thinking there was a little girl staring at me creepily."

"Did you get your shirt back?" I looked at Bennett as he spoke then looked back at Declan.

He looked sad before shaking his head, "No, I was too freaked out." He muttered looking down. I nodded while patting his shoulder sympathetically. "Stop doing that."

"Fine." I pulled my hand away giving him a dirty look.

"Sorry." I nodded but kept my hand to myself.

"Is Jordan-"

"-the coolest person in the world? That would be a yes!" Speak of the devil and he shall appear. Jordan bounced over to my bed and hopped in beside me, making me scoot over. "Did you miss me Chip?" He smiled down at me.

"Chip?" We all questioned in unison excluding Jordan.

He nodded wrapping an arm around me and threading his fingers through mine so naturally I almost didn't realize what he did. "Because she's full of secret information like a computer chip in spy movies, also chips are delicious, duh!" I wanted to facepalm myself and cover my whole face at the same time. Before I knew it my face was on fire and I had tucked my face into Jordan's chest.

I could feel him chuckle as he wrapped me in his arms being careful to not hit the IV tube on my arm. I peeked at Bennett and met his eyes, he was already looking at me..

"Here and in the flesh." She smiled leaning back. "And you need my help bad."

I shook my head furiously, "No I don't! Your advice gets me in more trouble- no offence."

"Offence, offence taken but that doesn't matter right now- are you okay?" She looked me over before nodding to herself. "Yeah you're okay, so it must be mentally." She muttered to herself before getting really close to my face. "Naomi." She started waving her fingers like waves. "Tell me if you're going crazy?"

I scowled pushing her face away not so gently. "I'm not crazy!"

"You are if you fist bump someone after they confess their heart and soul to you!"

A throat was cleared from the other side of the room. "You know I can hear you guy's right?" I face palmed forgetting Bennett was still in the room and could hear us. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

I blinked before breaking eye contact and turning back into Jordan. I'm still embarrassed, even just thinking about it makes me want to turn tail and run. I wanted to tell Declan and Jordan about it but didn't know how they would take it so I told Sang instead, she was very supportive and even told me about her embarrassing moments with some of her guys.

She walked in on Raven and Corey one time and said she was red for the rest of the day. She said another time she went rock climbing and the harness gave her a wedgie and everyone below could see, though she said North came to the rescue. Then she said she forgot her phone in her room and they all busted in on her in the bath and all they did was stare shocked at each other before she screamed and they ran out pushing and running into each other, all trying to get out of the bathroom at the same time.

I was in tears by the end and felt much better afterwards. We had talked for a long time that night and fell asleep talking to each other. That morning I had to plug my phone in because it was dead.

"Naomi, somethings buzzing against my chest." Sitting up I look away from them and pull my phone out of my bra before smiling down at the name on the screen.

"Hey! What's up?" Answering I ignore the shocked and curious gazes pointed at me.

"I'm not pregnant!"

The happy shout had me pulling the phone away from my ear before putting it back in place with a smile now on my face. "Sang that's great! When did you find out?"

"Yeah.. and I found out today."

Pushing away Jordan's face as he tried listening in, I asked worried "Are you okay? How come you don't sound happy?"

"I don't know, I guess I was starting to come around to the idea of having a baby with all the guys having my back and treating me like I'm carrying precious cargo."

I snorted before coughing, "Sang you are 'precious cargo' just being yourself and I thought you didn't want to have one so soon. Also where in the world did you get precious cargo from?"

She laughed before explaining. "I went out to eat with Sean and he told everyone to back up because his-" She deepened her voice. "Pookie was carrying precious cargo."

We both giggled before I asked again, "I thought you didn't want one so soon Sang, have you changed your mind?"

I could hear her sigh before she answered. "No, my mind hasn't changed but I realized I wouldn't mind if I did get pregnant by accident, I think I want a baby sooner rather than later-"

"Wait! Really?" My eyebrows furrowed as I played with Jordan's fingers absentmindedly. Who was that?

"Sean!" Oh. "You're not supposed to be listening in on my conversation! It's rude."

I chuckled listening to her lecture him. I could feel Jordan trying to listen in again and groaned. "Jordan stop, it's rude to listen in." I copied Sang and heard her laugh making me smile. I turned and glared at him before giving Declan the stink eye as I saw him lean in more.

"I guess we have boys to lecture, don't we?"

I nodded, muttering "That we do, that we do."

"Bye, I'll talk to you later."

"Peace." I pulled the phone away from my ear slowly and ended the call. I turned slowly to Jordan and purposely twitched my right eye. He swallowed, blinking slowly at me. "Sorry?" He smiled nervously, lifting his hands questioningly.

I shook my head and grabbed a hold of his ear before I started pulling him off the bed. "Ow! I'm! Ow! Sorry! Ow!" I pulled his ear a little harder and let go when we stood in front of the corner. I pointed to the corner and looked at him. He shook his head, his blonde hair moving with the movements. He looked extremely good looking the more I looked at him. Like how his eyelashes brush his cheekbones or how- STOP! Stay focused!

I raised a brow and pointed to the corner again. He hung his head and slumped against the wall. "You can come out in fifteen minutes and then apologize again." Fifteen minutes passed quickly with him counting out loud out for boredom and me playing thumb wars with Declan. He shuffled over to my bed and started fiddling with the end of his shirt, not meeting my eyes.

"I'm sorry I tried listening in on your private conversion." I nodded about to speak when he spoke again. "Can I stay out of the corner now?"

"Yes you can and thank you."

He nodded before taking off his shoes and slipping under the blanket next to me. He wrapped his arms around my hips and buried his face into my stomach. I played with his hair while Daclan pulled a chair in between mine and Bennett's bed before pulling our side table forward. He got settled in his chair while he pulled a deck of cards out of his backpack.

We started playing crazy eights minus Jordan. He was fast asleep as we laughed and poked fun at each other.

It was moment's like these I wanted frozen and framed, I thought as I smiled at Declan and laughed at Bennett's scowl while listening to Jordan's loud snoring. Frozen and framed..
