The Elements (*DISCONTINUED*)

Matter

Dean and I waited outside the nurses room, anticipating that Ronnie would be fine. I feel like an idiot, I should've warned them before!
I must've looked troubled because Dean seemed sympathetic. He patted my shoulder in an awkward attempt to comfort me. I turned my head at him and gave him a small smile of appreciation. But that's when I felt my face get warm.

I noticed Dean was still shirtless and slightly damp from the events before. He was well built for his age and obviously fit. I tried to look away but I was fixated on studying him. A drop of water and probably sweat fell from his chin to the ground as he turned to me. I jumped a little and turned in the opposite direction. Shitshitshitshitshitshit. He reached his hand out to me as I got up and went to the nurses shelf and brought a towel for him.

"You looked like you were cold so here." I said handing him the towel, trying to avoid all eye contact. Ugh, my friend almost dies and here Iam gazing at muscles on a remotely attractive person. What a good friend I am.

"Thanks, but I thought your stares would've dried me off bye now, they were a bit intense." he chuckled as I turned back to my seat and shook my head trying to seem unfazed by all this.

Dean is such an idiot.

"You can come in now." after about five painful minutes of awkward silence, the sweet voice of the nurse called out to us. She looked mid 40s with brown hair and dark brown eyes, she was white and she smelt really sweet, like cookie dough or a s'mores pop tart. She led us into the room and were greeted to a faint smell of flowers and medicine. Ronnie was lying down on the bed like she had just woken up from a nap. Her hair was tossed all over her head and her skin was still pale from the earlier shock. She stretched and yawned rubbing her eyes hazily as we both sat beside her.

"Wake up idiot, I know you almost died and everything but you could at least try not to look like a diseased goat attacked you." I asked her, honestly glad to see her alive and well. She tossled her hair and smiled.

"Oh please, don't act like you're not happy to see me alive, after all you don't have any other friends to talk to about your s-"

"SHHHHH... We do not speak of that in front of outsiders. No offense." I said as the nurse and Dean's eyes turned to me questionably. I smiled awkwardly and looked at an open box of raisins next to the nurse. It was better then facing the truth I'll tell you that.

" Anywho...How do you feel ?" Dean asked trying not to make himself sound awkward. But failed.
Ronnie's face turned to a questionable yet sincere look, I can't describe it, I don't think I've ever seen this look on her before besides a few rare times." I don't know, couldn't you guys have had Mike save me? I think I may have herpes after Dean..." she didn't finish her sentence but played it off as she did. I knew she didn't wanna talk about it or label it as anything, she's a person that hates making things awkward. Dean ran a hand through his hair and chuckled.

"You know how many girls wish they'd be in your position?"

"If they'd wish for death by aids then I guess so." she rolled her eyes.

"Sorry to interrupt your get together, but I'd like to report that Ronnie seems to be in great health and the only dangerous thing that could've happened was hypothermia, so please keep her warm for a while and feed her lots of tea. And I can also confirm she has no aids." The nurse said smiling at us, laughing a little at the last part.

"Pfft, great to hear on Deans part." Ronnie said slouching into her pillow.

"Since everything seems to be up to par, you can leave but you'll have to make sure you drink lots of tea and keep warm. Oh yes! And Mike left a while ago and told you all to meet him in the training room as soon as possible, he seems to have some news about an upcoming event for you kids."

"Upcoming event? You mean the prom?" I asked.

" Oh yeah, speaking of the prom, which one of you ladies has decided to go with this " he said once again motioning to himself like he was the cure for cancer, when in actuality he probably caused it.

Ronnie and I looked at each other and back to Dean in sync, as if we had just read each others thoughts and had a full on mental conversation.

" We've decided to keep that a secret " I said smiling mischievously at Dean.

" We don't wanna give away which one of us magnificent beauties you'll be allowed the pleasure to go with " Ronnie said winking and smiling back just as mysteriously.

" Ahem.. sure totally .." Dean coughed looking up at the ceiling. I think he was praying. I didn't know he was religious.

" Any who we should get going since Mike needs us " I said helping Ronnie out of the hospital bed. Well more like forcing her out of it.

" But the bed is so comfy ~ " Ronnie said clinging to the side of the bed, rubbing her face against it like the weirdo she is.

" Cmon we've gotta go !" I said straining to pull her off. " I'd lift you up but I'm not tryna get back problems from your heavy non existent butt " I said letting go of her legs and dropping half of her body on the ground.

" Owwww, the floor is so cold .. " Ronnie said rolling around on the ground in the fetile position. " You're mean, you could've just asked if you wanted me to leave " she huffed.

" Oh just get up" I said giving up.

" Fine.. Wait.. where's Dean ?" Ronnie said looking around the room.

" Don't tell me that idiot left us " I face palmed as I realized he did just that.

" Well I guess we better get going, thanks for taking care of me lady " Ronnie winked at her and gave her a thankful smile.

" Anytime " the lady said as we exited the room.

" Wait... Where's Dean ?"  Ronnie said looking around the room.

" Don't tell me that idiot left us " I face palmed as I realized he did just that.

We made our way into the training room, unaware of what next awaited us ...
