"What?" Shiki's breathing quickened.

Her mother replied with something, and Shiki's face fell. I guessed it was about her family member who was ill.  She looked extremely worried, and her forehead was covered with perspiration. I stepped back, not wanting to eavesdrop.

Shiki listened for a few seconds, then nodded. She said goodbye, and hung up.

"All good?" I asked.

Shiki stared at me. I was bewildered as to what made her so..dazed at once. Before I could enquire further, she jumped on me, hugging me tightly.

"He's fine!!!!! He's gonna get discharged!!!!!!! Oh my god, i was so tensed!!!!!!!" She yelled excitedly.

"Oh wow!!!!!! Thats great!" I replied. I thought she would let go of me now, but she didn't. The hug went on, with her legs wrapped around my torso and my footsteps to handle the weight faultering. Shiki was clinging on to me so tightly, I was losing my balance. I started to wobble, but holding on to her for all I was worth.

Finally, my knees gave in, and we fell.

"Shit!" I cursed, as we toppled forward in slow motion, shiki hitting the ground first. I fell on top of her, our foreheads hitting each other. Her long black hair got tangled in the button of my shirt.

"Shit." Shiki cursed, as we lay stunned. She tried to move her head, but winced when her hair pulled.  I attempted to free her hair of my button, hugely aware of our uncomfortable position. After several seconds of 'ouch'es and 'sorry's, i managed to untangle, and i climbed, yes, climbed, off of her.

Shiki got up, touching her hair. Her dress and my jacket were now a bit damp from the dew, and she had a bruise on her elbow. I suspected she was aching all over, for she had taken the brunt of the fall.

"I'm sorry. I just got..a bit excited." She laughed self-consciously.

"Its ok, such sessions happen with niall all the time, so i am kinda used to it."

"Actually, remember I told you about my brother? He was in the hospital, ICU, but now his condition improved and he is free to go home!" Her face flushed a light pink, visible even in the weak light.

"Oh, wow! That is so good! I am sure he'll get all the more healthier!" I grinned.

She thanked me, and sighed. She ran her fingers through her hair, and brushed her jands off of the dirt. I felt winded, wondering what all was happening today.

My knee started to sting all of a sudden. I looked down at it, and realized I had hit a stone on my way down. I tried to pull up my pant leg to examine. But, my hands were half frozen and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't pull it up. Irritated, I chose to ignore it, and stood up.

Shiki had been observing. She placed a hand on my shoulder, and smiled.

"Let me check it out."

She lead me to the bench we had been sitting on earlier, and sat me down. She kneeled in front of me,and gently pulled my pant leg up. In the process, I remembered I never asked her about her bruise. Mentally kicking myself, I asked.

"You have a bruise too. Does it hurt?"

"Nope,  its just a scratch. Whereas you, Mr. Tomlinson, have an almighty cut. You must have got it from that huge stone." She remarked. She was right. It was huge, extending from one side of my knee to the other, blood oozing from it.
