Chapter Four

Amber and Amelia sat side by side on her hospital bed watching chick flicks, and painting each others nails.

“So what’s up with you and Andrew?” Amber asked bumping her knee with Amelia’s.

“Nothing.” Amelia answered quickly looking up to check the sleeping form of Andrew across the room. Looking away quickly Amelia blushed as Amber caught her stare.

“Nothing? Melly you can not lie to me!” Amber said giving her best friend a look. Giggling Amelia attempted to turn her attention back to the movie, failing.

“He was here when I got out of surgery. I can’t help but have feelings for him. I mean he shaved his head for a perfect stranger, then flew out to meet me. I can’t let my feelings get the best of me though, because one day he has to go back home.” Amelia admitted their happy mood gone. Grabbing her hand Amber rubbed her best friends hand.

“Sweetie, you can’t help who you love. You have to give your heart a chance Melly.” Amber said smiling at her friend. Nodding her head both girls turned their attention back to the movie.

The next morning Andrew woke up to the site of Amber and Amelia squished into her tiny little hospital bed asleep.Smiling Andrew grabbed his blanket and wrapped it around the girls, leaving a kiss on Amelia’s forehead.

“Taking advantage of my sister in her sleep?” A teasing voice said from the doorway behind Andrew. Flushing he turned around to look at Sam.

“I w-was just um.” Andrew stuttered not able to complete his explanation. What had he been doing?

“Its okay man! I can see you have feelings for her.” Sam chuckled setting the bag in his hands down on a  nearby table. Turning his gaze to Amelia, Andrew couldn’t help but question what Sam had said. Did he have feelings for a girl that he couldn’t be with? If he did then their relationship would be hard.

Stirring in her sleep

Amelia’s eyes fluttered open to find her brother and Andrew discussing something quietly.

“Talking about me?” She teased yawning as she turned to look at Amber.

“No!” Andrew said quickly his eyes wide as Amelia laughed at him.

“Oh God, how did we sleep like this?” Amelia asked feeling the stiffness in her back. Groaning she ran her hand across her aching shoulder.

“The bed is barely big enough for you, let alone two teenage girls.” Sam said helping his sister out of bed so she could stretch. Raising her hands above her head Amelia made a sound of approval as her muscles stretched. Chuckling Amber sat up as her friend stretched like a cat.

“Ugh I miss yoga, and track.” Amelia whined frowning at her best friend.

“Holy crow did you stab me while I was asleep?” Amber asked eyes bulging as she stood up from the bed.

“I was just wondering the same thing.” Amelia mumbled causing Andrew to chuckle. The door to their right opened revealing Amelia’s doctor.

“Hello Amelia good to see you up and moving.” Doctor Shaw said smiling at the young girl.

“Ello Docta.” Amelia replied in a british accent saluting him. Doctor Shaw chuckled, shaking his head at the young girls energy, which was unusually odd.
