Embrace

Chapter 3

(Scott's POV)

I woke up because Kirstie was shaking me.

"Shh, she's still asleep. I need to talk to you," I rubbed my eyes.

"She told me last night,"

"I know she did, but you have to promise not to tell anyone yet!" She said sitting on the bed.

"I won't tell anyone, but you should tell Avi," She sighed.

"But how, I don't even know if it's his," She said crying.

"Look, come here," She came and lay down beside me. I shuffled Annabeth over, so the three of us could fit in. "You just say it's his, because I bet it is. Everything will be fine, I promise!" I said.

"You promise?" I nodded, she curled in further.

"Hmm, ummm," Annabeth started to mumble.

"Good morning!" I whispered to her, she smiled.

"Morning, ah," I immediately looked down.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"Yeah, my head just hurts," She said sitting up slowly. "Kirstie, how you feeling?"

"Fine, we were just talking about things," She said sitting up as well.

"When did the party start?" Mitch shouted from the door way.

"Way too loud Mitch," I said.

"Sorry, you guys want me to nip out and get breakfast?" He offered.

"Yes!" Kirstie said. He nodded and left.

"I suppose we have to get up," Annabeth stated.

"You don't, but I do," She pouted. "Doctors orders!" I said, she grunted.

"Please, can you see me sitting here all day?" She whined.

"No, but you need too. And a nurse is coming later!"

"I'm not going to be able to cope all the time," She said. I got up with Kirstie and went through just as Mitch came in the door.

"So, what's the plan for today?" Mitch asked.

"Well, I'm going to go and clear space for whenever Annabeth's ready to live with me," Kirstie said.

"I'm going to go to the gym, then go get food and come back to stay with Annabeth," I said.

"I'll come with you, but I'm going out tonight," Mitch said.

"Ohh, is that a date I hear?" Kirtie said.

"No, just a group of us!" He said rolling his eyes.

"Hmm, completely!" I said. Annabeth came through and we sat and eat breakfast.

"The nurse should be coming round any minute," I said clearing up a bit.

"Hello!" Someone said knocking on the door. I walked up and opened the door.

"Hi Mr Hoying!" She said shaking my hand.

"Hello, come in," I said. She walked straight over to Annabeth.

"Hi Annabeth, my name is Lucy. Can we go somewhere more private, just so I can check your cuts?" She nodded and they went through to my bedroom. They came out 10 minutes later.

"Everything is healing well, just don't do to much activity," She said leaving.

"Arrgg!" She stated.

"What's up with you?" Kirstie asked her.

"I hate people that look out for me all the time!" She said, I laughed.
