Theory Five

Chapter 5- Hosptial and confession?

My eyes felt like a thousand pounds as I tried to open them. I was greeted by a very bright light which made me close my eyes and groan.
A chair sounded like it was being moved.

"Athe?" Fives voice rang with a hint of concern in it. I groaned in response.

"Oh I'm glad your alright. You had me worried there." He said. I blinked and let my eyes adjust to the brightness. I was in a white room which looked like a hospital room. Five was sitting on a chair near my bedside with cuffs over his feet and hands. Wait, cuffs????? Why does he have cuffs on?? And why does he look like he hasn't been fed or slept in ages???

"I've been so worried about you. You scared me half to death when you didn't wake up." He said dropping his head and shaking it.

"Wait..... I didn't wake up??? How long was I out for??" I thought.

"No you didn't. You were out for three days. Those were the worst three days of my life since I got here." He said looking into my eyes a true sadness was set into his eyes. I didn't want to look away.

"I said that out loud??" I asked not thinking about what I was saying. He chuckled.

"Yes now move over." He said standing up and pushing me gently over to the other side of the bed I was on. He laid down next to me and pulled me closer to him. He breathed in and sighed. He put his head towards my neck and snuggled into it. He smelled of burning wood and charcoal.

"I missed you sooo much. I don't think you know how much I missed you." He said. I laughed and rested my head on the pillow.

"I missed you too. Even though it was only three days." I replied. 

"Too long." He whispered in my ear sending shivers down my spine.

"Hey! Get up. You shouldn't be around her like that until we know what happened to her. Now, up up." A unfamiliar voice said from the doorway. Five growled and pulled me closer.

"No." He said.

"I know you haven't been able to hold Athena for three days but you need to give her time to breathe before you snuggle her to death." The voice said while laughing.

"I'm not going to do that nor will I ever." He snarled. "That's Dr.Jacobson by the way." He added whispering in my ear.

"Looks like your vitals are good but the question is why did you fall asleep for three days?" Dr.Jacobson said. I tried to peer over Fives shoulder but was blocked by Five.

"You only look at me." He growled.

"You act like we're a couple." I said laughing.

"I wish we were. Then I would have you all to myself." He muttered underneath his breath. I blushed and looked away.

"I haven't been sleeping that good if that makes any difference." I say to Dr.Jacobson. Five looked at me with concerned eyes and rubbed them.

"Mmhmm. Anything else?" Dr.Jacobson asked.

"Ummm I use to get pains everyday but so far I haven't had one since what is it....four days ago now? I don't know for sure." I shrugged. Five whimpered.

Why didn't you tell me? The words appeared in front of my face. I looked at Five and his face looked like a kicked puppy.

"I don't know." I whispered. Not being able to look into his eyes anymore I looked away. 

"Well, have you had any recently? Like have you had one today?" Dr.Jacobson asked.
