Michael's PoV: It's been a few days sense Natalie's accident and AJ and I are taking her home to her dorm room. "AJ is bringing up the car now." I told her as I push her down the hall in a wheelchair. "You didn't have to do this. You've already done so much, you haven't left me for more than an hour over the past few days." She said trying not to blush. "I want to do this, it's not a problem. Plus your brother couldn't get out of school to come so I promised to take care of you till you got better." I told her as we got to the sliding glass doors. AJ pulled up to the doors and got out to help me get Natalie into the car. Once we got her and her crutches in AJ and I got into the car, "Off we go." AJ said as we pulled away from the building. We started to drive back to Natalie's dorm. Devin was waiting for us so we can get Natalie into the building. We pull up to the building and AJ and I get out, and I open the door to get Natalie. "Hey you excited to be back home?" Devin asked coming up next to me and helping Natalie get out of the car and onto her crutches. "Yes very much, I got really sick of that hospital room on the first day I was there." Natalie responded with a smile. "If Devin is not around call or text me and I'll be over as quick as possible." I told her completely serious. "Okay. I will." She smiled in response to me. Devin and I get Natalie to their room. "Okay then I guess I'll be going then." I said looking around the room it was the first time I have been here, it is bigger than I expected. I turned to leave the room. "Michael..." Natalie called my name and I quickly turn to her. "Thanks again, and here." she said then tossed something at me. I caught it in my hand, as I open my hand I see that it is a new guitar pick.

"Thanks but why did you did get this for me?" I asked her. How did she get it I have been by her side for the past few days? "You can never have to many picks." She said smiling at me. "Thanks." I told her smiling. I turned and left the room, as I look down at the pick I now notice a small hole cut in it. I get to the car and see AJ waiting on me so hop in the car and we head home. "What do you got there?" he asks with a look of confusion on his face. I look at him then back down at my hand. "It's a guitar pick Natalie gave me before I left the room." I told him as I smile at the pick. "Is there something going on between the two of you?" he asked me with a sly grin on his face. "Can we talk about it later?" I keep my head down trying not to blush "Sure you can explain everything when we get back to the apartment." He said as he turned on to our street.
AJ's PoV: We walked into the apartment. "Okay we're home. Now spill it." I told Michael as I took a seat o the sofa. He took a seat next to me and sighed deeply. "I think I'm falling for Natalie." He said looking at the floor. "You Think?!" I half yelled as I quickly stood up from my spot on the couch. "You wouldn't leave her side when she was in the hospital, and the songs you have been singing lately have been either for or about her." I said as I paced the floor. "I also sang to her twice in the hospital." He told me with a slight smirk. "When and why?" I asked as I stopped moving. "Well the first time was when she first came out of surgery and was still sleeping. I sang Skillet's Not Gonna Die Tonight." He said "What about the second time?" I continued to ask him. "The second time she asked me to sing to her to go to sleep. She asked for me to sing Comatose." He continued getting lost in the memory. *Beep Beep* My phone starts to ring in my pocket as I check it I see Devin's caller ID was up and I answered walking to my room. "Hey AJ you want to meet up?" she asked me. "You won't believe what Michael just told me!" I yelled into the phone. "What did he tell you that made you go insane?" She asked. "Are you with Nat?" "No why?" "Because I don't want you to repeat what I'm about to tell you and her to hear it yet." I continued to tell her. "Just tell me already." She shouted. "Michael has fallen for Natalie." I excitedly said into the phone. On the other side of the phone the only thing I could hear was her screeching. She calmed down and started using real words "That's really! really! good because she's always liked him since the first night at the café." She told me wanting to scream again. "Great I'll meet you at the café in like 10 minutes." I told her and hung up the phone and walked back out to the living room. "Who was that?" Michael asked looking at me over the back of the sofa. "Only Kenny. I'm going to go out for the night. I don't know when I will be back." I lied because if he knew that Devin was leaving Nat alone the first night out of the hospital he would flip out and run over there as fast as he could. "Okay have fun." he said turning back to face the TV. I walk out of the apartment and off to the café.
Natalie's PoV: "Hey Nat. Would you be okay if I went out for a little bit?" Devin asked me coming out from the bathroom after screaming for some unknown reason. "Yeah go. I'll be fine you go." I told her smiling. "If you need anything and I don't pick up after 2 rings call Michael. Okay?" She told me strictly. "Yeah I know." I laughed slightly. "Now go have fun." I finished. "I'll see you later." She said before walking out the door. A few minutes pass and I look around the room for the TV remote. I finally see it and it is laying on Devin's night stand. I stretch to grab it but its just out of reach. I sit up a little more and stretch for it again but this time I graze the remote right before I fall out of my bed and land flat on my stomach. "Great now I'm stuck." I said to myself. I reach across the floor for my phone that fell down with me. I get my phone and unlock it I start to dial the number that first comes to my mind and hit the call button. The phone rings as I hold the phone to my ear. " Hey Natalie how you feeling?" "Hey Michael, for the most part good, but I need some help and Devin's not home right now can you come over?" I asked him trying not to worry him. "Yeah I'm on my way don't do anything stupid." He told me on the other end of the line. "It's a little bit to late for that, but I'm not telling you anything until you are here, it's kind of embarrassing." I said then hung up the phone before he could ask me what I did. I layed there on the floor for a good 15 to 20 minutes before Michael opened the unlocked door. "What did you do?" He asked surprised to see me laying on the floor. "I couldn't reach the remote and fell out of the bed ." I told him trying to not sound like a fool.
Michael's PoV: I walked over to her and picked her up off the floor and put her back on her bed. She looked really cute shorts and tank top wrinkled, her hair is perfectly messy, and her eyes shined so bright I sometimes think that they're made of silver. "You need to be more careful Natalie, you could hurt yourself more than you already are." I told her as I take a seat on the floor next to her bed. I play with the pick she got me, I had put it on a metal chain once I had gotten in my room back at the apartment. "I will. You don't have to sit on the floor you can bring the chair over here." she pointed toward her desk at the end over her bed. I got up and brought the chair over and sat it here the top of her bed. "Here" I handed her the remote. "Thanks" She smiled shyly. "What do you want to watch?" She continues to ask. "Do you like Doctor Who?" I ask trying not to sound like a complete geek. "Yeah. Who is your favorite Doctor?" She replied with a wide smile spread across her lips. "David Tennant. Who's yours?" I ask back to her. "Same here I love his ascent." She said dramatically. "Here they still have his seasons on Netflix." She said as she turned on the tv and flipped through Netflix. I look at the clock and it read 6:45. Have you eaten dinner yet?" I ask her as my stomach growled. "No have you?" she asks. "We can order pizza if you want." "That sounds fine." I told her readjusting in the chair. "Are you okay? you look very uncomfortable." She asks me. "Yeah I'm fine, do you want another pillow?" I don't care if I'm comfortable she doesn't need to worry about me. "Here come sit next to me. You'll be more comfy." She insisted. "Fine but only after I order the food." I told her and got my phone out to call the pizza place. I placed the order and sat back in the chair. "What are you doing I told you to come over here it's more comfortable." She patted the bed next to her. I sat down by her feet and leaned against the wall. 20 minutes later there is a knock on the door. Natalie paused the tv as I got up to answer the door. "Hello. One large pepperoni pizza with bread sticks. That'll be $17.65." the pizza man told me as I handed him the money. "Thanks." I told him as he handed me the change. I took the pizza and shut the door as I walk back over to Natalie. "Here you go pizza, bread sticks, and Netflix." I said as handing her a slice of pizza. "Thanks I don't know if Devin is coming home tonight so you can stay as late as you want." She told me, and I smiled back. "I will, and I don't want to leave you alone and have you call me at 2 in the morning and be told that you fell out of bed...again." I said jokingly She laughed at my comment and hit the play button on her remote.
