"I'm sure it is.... I... I could never imagine dealing with what you are going through now."
She had gone through her own set of pains. The day she found out that she could never give birth to her own child... it was like her heart was being ripped out and stabbed in front oh her own eyes. It was funny to her know, thinking about how much she had cared. I guess I've just gotten used to the pain, she thought.
She returned to her seat, a sigh escaping her lips as she eased once more into a comfortable position.
"I'm so very glad that you're doing better Logan. I've tried my best... and.. I'm happy its proven to help a little bit."
Logan.. She loved to say his name. How she wanted to say it over and over aloud. To just let it roll off her tongue and ring in her ears. Did he catch the love that came with it every time she spoke? Did he care that she hated to refer to him as Mr.Sykes for he was so much more in her mind.

"Ah, don't worry about it," he said, trying to wave it off. "I'll be fine." He didn't want her to think he was complaining. Though...he kind of was in his own way. He was devastated by it, honestly. The thought that he would never again be able to see out of both of his eyes, that he would be limited to his right eye was simply devastating. He just wouldn't show it. He refused. She was doing so much for him already, she didn't need to worry over him anymore.
He suddenly turned and looked out the window. It was dark outside and the hospital was quiet. It was late, but he didn't know how late. He turned back to Kendra. "You should go to sleep. You have school in the morning, right? Unless I slept for four days away and it's Friday already. Or...Saturday. But still...you should sleep. You're probably exhausted."

Kendra chuckled gently, pulling herself into a ball on the chair.
"Yes sir," she whispered as she closed her eyes, the moon's shine once more on her body, "Good night Logan...."
.: Time jump? I'm not sure where too but... eh. Its up to you Duckie. :.

((Maybe right after Kendra gets back from school or something? That's what I'm going to go with for now...))
"You gave me that much? You pumped all of that s**t into my veins?! Do you know what that stuff does to a person?! Why would you do that?"
"Mr. Sykes, please...." the nurse spoke, trying to calm Logan down.
But Logan wasn't taking it. "No, I want off of as much of it as I can take. I have no problem with some, but I don't want that much in me, alright? As little as possible, do you understand?"
"Yes sir," the nurse complied, nodding her head slightly. She went over to the IV and began to adjust it, glancing over at Logan. "Are you sure you'll be alright with this, sir? You still have a lot of unhealed injuries...you will be in a lot of pain."
"I don't care," Logan replied, still fuming. "Just take it down."

The click-clacking of her shoes resounded around her as she headed down the white hallway, her chest heaving as she tried to catch her breath. The ride to the hospital was quite a bike ride and she always took the stairs rather than the elevators. Her messenger bag bounced at her side as it pulled upon her shoulder. Why did she insist and doing all of the work for Logan? She hadn't let him do much... or tell him much about that as well. Thankfully, she had gotten good reports from David and Belinda and was told the students were doing well. She wouldn't know though, she always skipped that class. She had been doing all the work. She had planned it. Besides, she thought, I barely have time to do my other homework. It was the perfect time to get it done.
She could hear Logan's voice as she neared his room. Why was he talking so loud? She instinctively sped up, ducking into the room and walking to the chair where she dumped her things.
"What's going on?" she asked as she eyed both Logan and the nurse.

Logan glanced, momentarily, over at Kendra before crossing his arms over his chest and leaning back against the propped up pillows on his bed.
"Nothing," he answered, half-glaring at the nurse.
The woman shot him a quick glance before turning to Kendra. "Can I talk to you for a minute?" she asked, seeming to hurry away from the bedside. She came to Kendra and put her delicate hand lightly on Kendra's arm to motion her towards the door.
Logan watched the two, his eyebrows furrowing again. "Don't treat me like a child! I know you're going to talk about me and you can do it right here," he grumbled.
The woman glanced back at him, but continued to pull on Kendra's arm.

Kendra looked to Logan, amused by his actions.
"If we aren't supposed to treat you as a child then you might want to stop acting like one," she teased as she walked with the nurse out of the room.
When they were a safe distance from the room she turned to the nurse, slightly worried.
"Yes? What did you need?"

The nurse went with Kendra, stopping and turning to face her. She held a clipboard in her hand and she seemed slightly flustered.
"Mr. Sykes has been very moody today," she explained, glancing at the door. "It's....probably nothing. Nothing medical, anyway. He's coming off of the pain medication and he just exploded today. He asked me how much he had been on and apparently it angered him. He told me to take him off almost all of it. I...I complied but I thought I should consult you. You know of his injuries. You know how much pain he'll be in once he's off of it. If he thinks he can handle it, I suppose it's really up to him. But I...well, I thought I should let you know. I somehow doubt he would say anything about it."

Kendra smiled, reaching out and gripping the lady's arm gently.
"I appreciate your concern. I'll keep an eye on him for now. I think... he might be able to deal with it for a while. Why don't you check some over the counter meds? I'm sure he would consult to using both an IV and pills.... He might agree with me that they aren't as bad for you. Besides, it'll be good to help wean him off it now instead of later before he has the chance to get addicted to it."
Kendra looked back to the door and sighed.
"But we will need to consult him about this. Let me talk with him for a while before we do. I would like to try and calm him down before we speak of this again."

The nurse nodded. "Alright," she said. "I'll speak to his doctor about it. He'll probably be fairly busy so he won't be able to talk about it for a bit, but hopefully it will be enough time." She gave a small smile and began to turn before stopping.
"Oh, if there is ever anything else, feel free to stop me in the halls if you see me." With another smile, she turned and walked down the hall to continue on with her job.

What a nice lady, she thought to herself before turning and walking back into Logan's hospital room.
"So, I've heard you've stirred up all sorts of trouble today Logan. And here I thought you getting better was a good thing. I think the hospital preferred it when you were non-responsive."
A smile spread across her lips as she walked up to his bedside. She wanted to place her hand on his. Or to give him a hug. But it wasn't her place... was it?
"Its good to see you with such energy," she said warmly.

Logan didn't say anything. He just stared at the wall in front of him, refusing to look at Kendra. He did look much like a child having a tantrum with his pouty lip and his crossed arms.
"Well I doubt anyone responds well from getting into a car accident," he mumbled. He possibly would have calmed down sooner if it hadn't been for Kendra. It wasn't at all that it was her fault. On the contrary, it was Logan's fault. He had lost his temper and she had happened to come in while he was in the midst of said temper loosing. Everything was coming together to make him angry.
But he told himself that he just needed to relax. Not to take his frustration out on Kendra. She hadn't done anything. She was just trying to help. He owed her more thanks than he was capable of. Fuming was not a reasonable thanks.
So slowly, his expression softened, his grip against his chest lightened and he slowly glanced up to her. "I'm sorry," he said, despite the pestering in his head that told him not to. "I don't mean to be angry. I didn't want you to see me this way."

She smiled understandingly as she clasped her hands together at her waist. "Don't worry," she said softly, "I expected it. This isn't something someone can take easily. I would be more worried if you were happy all the time. But this is okay. And you don't have to worry about me. You can't chase me off like you can the nurses. I get to stick around and bug you."
She giggled slightly, pulling one of the less comfortable wooden chairs up next to his bedside and sitting down in it.
"So was your whole day this frustrating? I talked to the nurse and mentioned putting you on some of the over-the-counter pain killers. Would you be willing to take those with some of the IV? Not a lot, but just enough to keep the pain from taking over your mind. Theres no need to punish yourself."
She reached out and placed her hand on his arm for a moment before pulling it back and bringing her knees to her chest, her shoes on the edge of the chair. She couldn't help but smile the entire time. She was with Logan, there was nothing more she wanted.

Logan was glad she understood at least. Even he didn't understand sometimes. But a small smile slowly made it's way to his face as he looked at her.
"You might say that," he replied to her question. "I haven't been fully conscious enough to grasp everything that's happened. I guess it all just welled up on me today."
He paused as he listened to her proposition. It wasn't such a bad idea. It wasn't that he had something against pain medication, he just hated what the more powerful stuff did to him. Slowly he nodded his head, still looking to her. "I suppose." he replied, not giving much else.
Already he could feel the pain returning, though he was doing the best to ignore it.

I wonder what he thinks of me, she thought to herself as she sat there. He smile faded slightly as she huddled to herself. Did he even think of her at all. Depression threatened to spill over her as she thought more. I bet he doesn't, she scoffed, I'm just his student that is a very caring person. I bet thats what he thinks. Thinks that he's not special. It made her sick to her stomach. She could never tell him how much she liked him. Ever since the first day she had seen him.
At first it was his looks, how he was so unique. But slowly,... it became more. It was his personality. The way he cared,... the way he would look at her. She knew he had no feelings toward her... but she hoped.
"Just think about it,...I guess...," she muttered.
