"Ow", Mary Jane groaned, touching her head as she tried sit up.
Gentle hands immediately pushed her back down. Mary Jane didn't put up a fight, probably because she was too weak. "The nurse says you need to get a little rest before you can go walking around."
She turned her head slightly to the left, squinting her eyes as she tried to recognize who it was. "Stuart?", she asked in surprise.
"The one and only", the beanie clad boy nodded.
"What happened?", Mary Jane frowned, reaching up to touch her head again.
"Graham decked you in the stomach, which made you hit your head. The nurse says you probably just passed out because you were a tiny bit dehydrated and all the running and the heat and the sweating wasn't exactly the best idea for all that", he explained.
"Graham did? Are you sure? That sounds so unlike him!" Sure, Graham was a bit of a jerk, but he wouldn't ever hurt her. Stuart could see the disappoint in her eyes, hear the hope, the hope that he was wrong, in her voice. Any hope that he had for them slowly fizzled out. He shouldn't let a pretty face start distracting Jim anyway. He simply nodded his head. That information hurt, but she'd have to deal with it later. Mary Jane raised a curious brow as she looked at him, struggling to prop herself up. "Did you carry me all the way here?"
"Uh — yeah", Stuart nodded, looking down at his shoes. "I was really worried about you."
"Well, thank you, my knight in shining armor", she chuckled, lying back down. "That was very sweet of you."
Stuart took a seat next to her on the edge of the bed, his eyes locked on her. He just couldn't get over how beautiful she was. Mary Jane Hiegler was like... a work of art. Beautiful and untouchable.
"The rest of the team is outside... if you wanna see them", he finally said. He had been enjoying this time with her, but he knew the others would be worried.
"Alright." Stuart nodded, standing up. Mary Jane watched him for a second. "Stuart?" He turned around, glancing at her expectantly. Mary Jane swallowed thickly. Was she developing a crush? Was this how it should have been with Graham? "I'm glad you didn't stay out of my way."
