Sawyer POV - 2 days later
"Knock knock."
I look up from the switch and smile. "Hi, you."
"Hey." I press pause in my Mario kart game.
"Is your momma or pops around?" Makena asks.
I shake my head, "Taylor went to get coffee so we have a couple of minutes."
She walks over, "Cool. Can I kiss you?" She whispers.
I smile widely and nod. She leans down and places both of her hands on my cheeks and I close my eyes. I feel her lips on mine and smile into the kiss.
She pulls away, "I'm so glad-"
I hear a throat clear and look up to see Taylor. "Uh. Taylor. You've uh met Makena?"
"I have. But also you shouldn't be kissing!"
I groan, "You can't be serious. Momma's not even here."
"I'll let it slide because you're a good person I hear, but no more macking." She looks at Makena.
I roll my eyes.
Makena slaps my shoulder, "Owwww."
"Big baby. Don't be rude. Sorry Taylor. Just missed her." Makena says.
I smile.
"Ugh. You guys are like gross cute." Taylor says.
"Alright, I brought my book. Are we ready to read?" Makena says.
I nod, "You going to help me?"
"Yeah. But you have to try to sound out the words. I'm not helping if I'm reading them for you." She pokes my forehead.
I bob my head, "Okay."
I feel Taylor staring, "What?"
"Nothing. Carry on."
I start reading and quickly get stuck and huff.
"Babe, just slow down. I'm not judging you. We can read slow, I don't think you're stupid."
I nod and pet Maverick, "Okay."
Alex POV
I'm grabbing my bag and feel my phone vibrate. I pull it out and see that it's Taylor and look at the photo.
Makena is sitting in Sawyer's hospital bed with her and they're reading Harry Potter.
Taylor: It's hard to hate Makena, she's so good to Sawyer
I chuckle.
Me: we don't hate her. We just don't want them dating yet. She's very good to Sawyer
Taylor: just an FYI, they were kissing when I came back from grabbing a coffee. I feel bad ratting on her because she's so patient right now with helping her with reading. But also I'm afraid of you so 🤷🏻♀️
I sigh.
Me: I'll talk to Sawyer. I'm on my way anyways
Taylor: cool. She was getting irritated with math today and she's over me. She had some switch time. So goodluck.
I groan.
Me: she didn't rip her IV out did she? Nurses are ready to duct tape it in her arm I feel like.
Taylor: No. she was picking at it, but I just reminded her how awful it was having to redo it and she stopped. She said it's sticky and it burns.
I roll my eyes. I stop in Sawyer's room and grab some more fidgets and clothes for her.
