I sat nervously in the back of the car. The doctor had called and said he'd like to look at my arm and leg. It'd been a couple months and he was hoping they were healed.

I wasn't scared of the doctor. I was actually very happy about the possibility of getting the casts off. I was nervous because I knew what what going to come after.

I hadn't said anything to Marcus about getting them off but, somehow he found out, Cally most likely, and had asked if he could go. I had agreed reluctantly.

I knew I shouldn't be scared. I had been the one to make the agreed for him to wait until now. I just didn't think it'd come so soon.

The car stopped and I took a deep breath, opened my door and started walking towards the hospital. I felt a warmth surround my hand and glanced at Marcus.

He smiled at me. "Don't be so nervous. There nothing to freak out about."

I smiled and nodded. "Yeah, thanks."

He held my hand while we walked in and waited for the doctor to call us to another room. I let go of Marcus's hand to get up onto the bed and we waited for the doctor to come in.

The door opened a few minutes later. "Hello, Eliot. How are you today?"

I shrugged. "I'm good." I never understood why doctors asked that question. I mean, they're supposed to find out if you're not okay so why ask and still check you?

"That's good. How's that arm of yours doing? Think it's ready to be free from that annoying cast?" He asked.

I shrugged again. "Sure. Is it actually coming off?"

He smiled. "Maybe. I have to check it first."

He came over and he examined my arm. He asked me to move my fingers and I did. He asked if it hurt to move them. I shook my head. He did a few other things before he called for the nurse.

She came in and handed him some tools. He quickly cut the cast from my arm and I almost threw up. I hadn't been able to wash that arm in months so it smelled horrible.

The doctor tossed the cast in the garbage and cleaned and disinfected my arm. Then he took one of my fingers and wiggled it around. "Does that hurt?" He asked.

I shook my head, "No."

He moved my wrist around. "What about that? Any pain?"

I shook my head again. "No. It feels really weird though."

He chuckled. "Well, that's from not being able to move it for a while. Looks to me like you have a healed wrist and no longer need that cast." He smiled. "Congratulations, Eliot."

He did the same thing for my leg and it turned out that my bones were healed and just needed to rest up for a bit. He gave me a bottle of cream and told me if I felt any pain to just put some on the area that was hurting. We thanked him and left the hospital shortly after that.

I got back in the car and glanced at Marcus as he got in. I didn't expect him to do anything while we were driving but, I wasn't sure what to expect when we got home.

Thirty minutes of driving later we pulled up at Cally's huge house and we both got out. Cally's mom told us Cally wasn't home and she'd be back later.

We walked into the house and I grew very tense. Cally's mom was the only one home and she would be two floors below us if we went up to my room. There was no way she'd hear us if somthing happened.

Marcus smiled at me. "So, now that you don't have a cast want to play a video game or something?"

That was not what I had expected and I stared at him. He frowned. "What?"

I blinked several times and shook my head. "N-nothing. Um, sure. What do you want to play?"

We went into the living room and I started to set up the X-box. Cally had insisted I know how to use it. He shrugged. "Anything is fine. Do you have black-ops?"

I nodded and pulled it out. We got controllers and started playing. I personally sucked at black-ops and he easily beat me everytime. No matter what we played.

I frowned at him. "Why are you so good at this? You practically know everything that happens by heart!"

He chuckled. "I spent an entire summer at my uncles house and this was the one and only game he owned. I pretty much only played this the whole summer."

"You didn't get tired of it?" I asked.

He shrugged. "Not really. When I like something it takes alot to make me get tired or bored with it."

I frowned, a little confused by the implication in his voice. I felt like he was talking about me...

I pulled out abother game and grinned. "Let's see you beat me at this."

He read the title, Tales Of Xillia, and raised an eyebrow. "Has Cally brainwashed you or something?"

I frowned. "No but, she made me play this so many times I can do it in my sleep. You'd be surprised how much time she has to play this game."

He chuckled and I put the game in. An hour later I was glaring daggers at my boyfriend. "What the hell, man?! You've never even seen this game before and you're better than me! What gives?!"

He shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe you just really suck at video games."

I rolled my eyes. "That is not true. I can play a game as well as the next guy but, this is ridiculous. Maybe you're not human!" I pinched his nose snd he made a quack noise.

"You got me! I'm an alien from another planet and I'm here to eat you!" He grabbed me and rolled over, pulling me with him. I laughed and tried to get away. "Oh, no! Let go, you strange alien thing!"

He laughed and picked me up as he stood. "No way! I'm cooking you for dinner!"

He pretended to eat my neck and nibbled on my skin while I shrieked with laughter. "No! Is this really the end?" I said in mock terror.

He chuckled and threw me over his shoulder. "I will need to get some spices. You're way to dull in flavor."

I smacked the back of his head. "I am not!" I said, trying my best to sound serious.

He tossed me on the couch and threw a pillow at me. "There's some potatoes to give my meal some soft flavor." He dropped a scarf that was laying on the end of the couch over me. "And some juice to make it sweet."

I pulled the pillow over my face. "Oh, please, Mr. Alien. Please don't eat me! I have a long life ahead of me and I can't die now!"

He shrugged. "Too bad." Then he jumped on me and made growling sounds in between his laughter. I giggled and rolled around trying to get away.

Then we heard a cough. We both stopped and looked up at Cally who was blushing and smiling as she stared at us. Marcus quickly jumped up and pulled me up to.

I cleared my throat. "Sorry if we were too loud, Cally."

She bit her lip before laughing. "That was literally the cutest thing I've ever seen...!" She twirled in a circle before smiling at us. "Don't mind me! I was never here! Just keep doing your thing!"

She ran out of the room giggling hysterically. I turned red and looked anywhere except Marcus. He seemed a little uncomfortable too and rubbed the back of his neck. "Um, well I think I should get going. My mom's probably waiting for me."

I glanced up at him with a frowned. Something was wrong. I couldn't put my finger on it but, he seemed a bit off. I took his hand. "Well, should I walk you home?"

He chuckled. "Isn't that my job?"

"I guess but, I'm already home so I should walk you." I said.

He smiled. "Okay then. I'd love to have you walk me home."

We left the house and walked slowly side by side. He was quiet and it worried me. "Anything on your mind?" I asked.

He shrugged. "Not really. What about you? Just got your casts off, living a better life. You seemed to have alot to think about."

I sighed and looked out over the street. "Yeah... I guess alot has happened in the past few months." I smiled a little and looked up at him. "But, you were with me the whole time so I made it through."

He smiled and squeezed my hand. "I'm just happy you're okay. I don't know what I'd do if something happened to you."

I leaned on his shoulder as we walked and I felt so warm. He let go of my hand to wrap an arm around my waist. The walk to his house felt too short and it came to an end much to early for my liking.

We stepped up onto his porch and he gave me a hug. "Goodnight, Eliot." He said.

He gave my cheek a kiss before straightening and opening his door. "See you later." He said. I watched the door close and frowned.

What just happened?
