Sophie's Pov

I woke up. Where am I? Am I in the hospital? I looked at the ceiling. No, I'm in my bedroom, how? I tried to move. "Ouch, ouch, ouch!" I cried in pain. Looks like I can't move. I lay down, my head facing the ceiling. I have only one question in my mind. "Who saved me?" I said. I looked at my injuries.

"Yikes, that is a long cut. That's gonna leave a mark." I said. Then, I heard the door opened. "Who's there?" I said, trying to get up, but to no avail, I can't.

"It's me, Brian." Said the boy. He came in and walked to me. "Look what you have gotten into." He said. I can't tell his facial expressions because he was covering the far with one of those mask, doctor used before an operation. I looked away.

"Yeah, you're right, I should have never gone to that date, knowing my boyfriend or ex now, is a psychopath." I said, all about to cry. I can feel guiltness. He looked at me, for a long time. "What? Here to gloat on your correct prediction?" I said, looking away.

He shook his head. "No, I'm just thinking on how to stitch that big scar." He said. He came close to it. "It's a big one. More like 5 or 6 cm?" He said. I turned my head, facing him. Our heads were close. He didn't looked at me, because he paid more attention to my scar. "What? Am I that handsome?" He asked. I was shocked. I can feel my cheeks warmed up, all blushed. "I, uh, I." I said, trying to deny that I am looking at him. "Since when I'm looking at your face?" I asked. "I know you are Princess." He said. He looked at me. He opened his mask, revealing more of his face. "Here, wanna see more?" He said as he is opening his mask. I blushed, now I can see him so close.

I never realised how handsome he really is. "Well?" He asked. Then I realised that he is watching me. I looked away. "Fine! You're handsome. Happy?" I confessed. He covered up his face. "Just notice it, Princess? My, my, you should know your best friend better." He said in a flirty tone. I can feel my cheeks warm. "You know, if I can move, then I'll punch you in the face right?" I said, intimidating him. He looked shocked.

"What about the other hand? It's not broken, just swollen. So, why not punch me now?" He said, smirking. Ok, he caught me. I could just punch him, but, he is too...something? Kind? No, more than that....

"And, done." He said. I was confused. "What's done?" I asked.   "Wow, you don't realised?" He said. Now I'm confused. "What?" I asked. He point to my arm that is with the scar. I looked at it, shocked that it had been all stitched up. "How did you do that?" I asked.

"What? The stitching part? Or the not realised part?" He asked. "Both" I replied. "Well, back in my old school, I used to treat patients with scars or minor injuries like you, so, this is like a walk in the park." He said. "Second, distracting you is so easy. Especially when it comes to love and junk." I blushed as he said that.

"Alright, so it's all done. So, do you want something to eat?" He asked. "No, but I am thirsty." I replied. He smiled. "Alright I'll get you some water. Ok?" He asked. I nodded. Then, he left the room, leaving me alone.

Brian's Pov

I head downstairs to get some water. While at it, I cooked Nachos. Then I heard someone behind me. I looked behind feeling a little creeped out. As I looked behind I saw Sophie waiting at the bench, standing up.

I jumped out of surprise. "Woah, you scare me there for a while." I said, all shocked. "Don't do that." I said, all calmed. She giggled. Heh, so cute. "How did you manage to stand up?" I asked. "Well, Fakyu Mein managed to hit me on my too part, so, he didn't managed to hit my feet." She explained.

"Wait, Fakyu Mein?" I asked, hiding the urge to laugh. She nodded. Heh, funny name. Though I shouldn't laugh in front of her. Because if I did, then she could be hurt.

Then I gave her the water, she drank it. In the meantime I cooked some Nachos. I looked back at Sophie. She went to the couch and sat down, watching TV.

After I made the Nacho, I went to the couch and sat next to Sophie and watch TV with her.

"Her, want some?" I asked, handing her some Nachos. He took it and ate it. "Thanks." She said. "You're welcome." I replied.

It was silent, well not totally silent, I mean like the TV is still on. But we didn't talk while watching it.

"Hey Brian?" She asked. "Yes?" I replied. "Thanks." She said. "For what?" I asked. "For taking care of me." She replied. I looked at her. Our eyes meet, and I refuse to let go until she let go. Unfortunately, she did not let go of our sight for like 30 seconds. "Anytime Princess, anytime." I said. She looked down. Then we continued watching TV.

About like 5 minutes, I felt something on my lap. Something very heavy. Like a pillow? No, more than that. I looked down. My eyes widened, with the sight of Sophie laying her head in my lap.

I shooked her. "Sophie? Wake up." I said, while shooking her. Instead of her waking up, she hugged me. I was shocked, my cheeks warmed up and of course, blushing. Heh, so cute.

"Well, I can't get out of this situation." I said, admitting defeat. Feels nice when she hugged me. Heh, I looked at her. Her face was so very peaceful when she sleeps.

Then, not long, I ,too, fell asleep....
