Stars - ON HOLD -

Chapter 6. The rain is peaceful.

The doctors say my condition is improving, so I can go home soon. I don't really want to, to be honest. After everything that's happened there...
I don't know. It's just; I've been thinking about moving for a while now, and I've found the cutest house ever; two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a sitting room, and a kitchen.

The hot doctor enters the room. His real name is Doctor Kaye, but I just call him doctor hottie (not to his face, obviously).

"Ms. Clove?" The doctor says, snapping me out of my daze. "The results from your X-ray are back. You had three badly bruised ribs but over these three weeks, they've pretty much healed. You have no severe damage to any of your vital organs. You are pretty much good to go." He pauses, checking his clipboard. "I'll prescribe these painkillers for a while, but if you are in too much pain you should come back to check in here." Dr. Hottie smiles. "I'll give you my number, just in case."

I smile.

"That's not obligatory, though, is it, doctor?" I ask slyly. The doctor blushes.
"No, but... I've taking a liking to you, Skai." He smiles.

"So, am I free to go?"

"Sure, you can go now." He leaves the room with one more smile.

I pack my things into my overnight bag, change into my clothes and head out in the pouring rain to my car. I drive home.

Jordan hasn't visited since the day after I was in hospital. I wish I didn't kiss him. He obviously didn't want me to... But he kissed me back?

I sigh, and twist the steering wheel ever so slightly. This is so complicated.

I arrive home. When I drive through the gates, the first thing I notice is my light is on.

I enter the door. My lamp has been put back on the unit. I know it was knocked onto the floor...

I enter the kitchen and nearly have a heart attack. Jordan is standing out the back, staring into the distance. I open my window.

"Jordan! What the hell are you doing?!" I shout. He makes no motion to show that he heard me. After some deliberation I open my backdoor and go to stand beside him. In seconds, my hair is plastered to my scalp.

"Why are you here?" I say softly.

There's no reply.

"Jordan?" Still no reply.

"You should come inside, you're gonna catch the death of cold."

I make a move to head inside. He starts, and grabs my hand.

"Wait."

One four letter word and he has power over me.

I look up into his gorgeous eyes.

"You can't be near me."

I laugh.

"Funny joke!"

He looks away. My laugh dies on my lips.

"Wait, what?" The tears are threatening to spill over into my cheeks.

"I'm bad news, Skai!" He erupts suddenly. "I'm just going to hurt you again and again! I don't wanna break your heart along with the other girls' I've treated this way. So I'm putting a stop to it before I hurt you even more."

I am frozen. I can't think. My mind has gone numb. All that I can concentrate on is the rain on my skin, soaking through my clothes, drenching my hair. I stare at Jordan. I can't comprehend what he's saying. He stares at me, rain dripping from his hair.

"F...fine." I whisper. I turn to go inside, but he pulls me back again and kisses me, his lips soft. I can taste rain on his lips, and....salt.

Then he lets me go. I go inside and don't look back, so that Jordan Smythe cannot see the tears mingling with the rain on my face, the tears that he is the cause of. Once I'm safely inside I let the tears fall, in a torrent. I can't stop them. It feels like I'm drowning.

I peer out of the window again. Jordan is gone.
