Adopted by Luke

Natalie

Michael's pov.

"Is Natalie here?" I asked the at the front desk.
"What's the last name?"
"Uuuuuuh.... hemmings?"
"I'm not sure, there are are 3 Natalie's here" looking at her commuter she looked confused.
"Can I have all 3?"
"Sir i can't do that I'm sorry."
"Um, what about one who was burned?"
I was now so antsy I was annoying myself.
"Oh, yes there she is! Room 207."
"Thank you so much!" I quickly got in the elevator and went to the 2nd floor same as Luke.

I nervously watched the floor number go up 2.

ding.

I walked out of the elevator and walled around till I found that number.
Before going in, I stopped to listen if she was asleep or something, but I heard something I wish I never heard.
crying.
I was leaning against the doorway, just frozen.

I moved my foot cus it was starting to go numb, and I hit a monitor or something behind me.

"Hello?"
She almost instantly stopped crying and wiped away her tears.

"Crap" i mumbled hoping she didn't hear me.
I walked away as quietly as possible and pretended I was never there.

-time skip- (about an hour)

I walked near Natalie's door to hear nothing, like literally nothing.
I slowly walked in to see what she was doing, but she wasn't moving, she was laying down, under tons of blankets.
"She's sleeping" I whispered with a smile on my face. soon as i said that her heart rate quickly escalated.
I heard her Moan, then I looked at her face. a tear was running down her face.
I sat there in amazement, I thought that was impossible for someone to cry in their sleep.
Thinking she was probably having a bad dream, i tried waking her up.
"N-Natalie, wake up. you ok?"

She slowly opened her eyes and her eyes sparkled from crying in her sleep.
She took out her hand from under the blankets to wipe her eyes and I then saw her burn wounds. it was then it hit me, she really loves us.
I mean why would she have dragged Luke where it was safe, well before she  passed out. she tried her hardest to save him as much as possible. she basically risked her life for him. and without him, none of us would function correctly.

"Oh hi, Michael right?"
She said snapping me out of my thoughts, I suddenly realized I was starring at her the whole time.

"Um, yeah. sorry to wake you up, I just, I thought you where having a bad dream."

"Yeah, I was actually."

"Your hart monitor went up and you where crying."

"Is that even possible? To cry in my sleep?"

"Yeah, you were." chuckling to the thought that I thought the exact same thing.

"Oh...oops" she chuckled a little

"Is there something bothering you?"

"Uh-not really"

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah"

(Awkward silence)

"Ok yes. but I don't want to talk about it right now."

"Ok" I felt stupid for asking her to spill what was on her mind, but I barley knew her.

"So, how are your burns?"

"Doctor said their 2nd degree burns i think, and that I will have a scar for a while, but...i don't know how long it will take to heal. I have to keep these wraps on, and keep up with my meds, but I have no idea when they are going to release me."

"Hey, thanks bye the way. for saving Luke..." Looking at my hands I started to get hungry

"Well I couldn't just leave him"

"Um, yeah I guess."

A silence came over yet again but for a longer time.

"sorry, didn't mean to make this  awkward, I'm just not good talking to...um "

"Guys?" I finished her sentence and felt a little awesome for a second.

"Well, ya. you guys are the only ones iv seen outside of the orphanage...there are no guys in there. sorry if I just made it more awkward."

"No, it's totally cool. I haven't got much experience with talking to girls either. So I guess this is our first awkward moment together"

We where both staring at random things in the distance. I probably just embarrassed her. oh god, why can't I keep my mouth shut and learn how to talk to a sensitive girl.

I looked at her, and realized that she was starting at me which made it awkward for the both of us.

Breaking the awkwardness
I said "I'm starving, I'm gonna get Ashton then get some food in the cafeteria and come back and eat over here if it's ok, do you want anything?"

"Yeah, can I get a sandwich, with a cheese cake?"

"Sure, see you in about 20 minutes?"

"Ok" she smiled, oh god her smile is contagious. I couldn't stop smiling after I left the room.
