David sat bolt upright.
A shock of pain crippled his side, and he spasmed back down to the bed, the world was rotating, faces flying in and out of his view as pain continued to rock him in waves. He heard a deep voice mutter something about morphine. He grumbled, shaking his head. The man stopped, then spoke again to the nurse, shooing her away. He felt no prick of his skin, and relief came to him. He didn't want morphine. Pain was a reminder, a teacher. It told him to never step in front of a bullet again. He couldn't really remember the moment it happened- a man with a gun, stepping into the room, a flash, and heat as a fiery metal piece slammed into his midsection, burning through his body. He closed his eyes, squinting against the light...
It was midday, three days after he had been hit. What would possess a man to shoot an innocent girl? He didn't care what she had done- nobody deserved death as a punishment. He breathed deeply, his stomach and chest wrapped in mass amounts of tape and gauze. He had a tube down his throat which, at that moment, the doctor removed. He gagged, joking a little before spitting up a few more droplets of blood. The doctors face finally came into view.
"Don't know what possessed you to step in front of a gun kid, but it wasn't smart."
He sat there, hands on the edge of the bed, thinking the same thing to himself. He lay back down, reaching down under the blanket and feeling his wound through the body wrappings. It was nothing but a hole, still unstitched.
A bullet wound.
He looked up at the cieling, a smile coming to his face.
At least he got the bastard before he passed out...

Alexis hadn't had the time to go visit David after he was shot. The police took her in for questioning, then there were no visiting hours. Alexis finally decided to go check once again to see if she were allowed. They let her know he had awakened, which was good. The last thing she needed was someone dying at the expense of saving her life.
They gave her the room number and Alexis knocked on the door before entering. Whether or not they said come in, she would any way.
She saw him laying on the bed and the doctor was at his side checking the machines and reading over the charts. Once he caught sight of Alexis, he smiled and left the room.
Lately, Lexi had been finding herself at the hospital. They were definitely bad memories in them and she preferred not to go, but she felt she had to.
Quietly sitting, her eyes didn't leave the boy who was laying on the bed. If he looked at her, she would smile... well, she would smile whether or not he looked. Without him, she would have been dead.
"Um... I wanted to see yeah.... to say thank you for what you did back at the school." her fingers fiddled with the fabric of her shirt. "How are you feeling? Do you feel bad, 'cause they feed you shitty jello? Oh...And I think after all that you deserve my real name... Alexis Green."

Alexis Green.
A very pretty name.
He smiled, wincing a little in pain as he did so.
"Oh, its not so bad. I havn't been awake long enough to try the jello, so i can't complain. Though having shards of metal stick my intestines every time i flinch kinda sucks." He took a deep breath, steadying himself, making sure not to move his stomach too much. He tried to grasp what he had been talking with her about before the incident, but he truly couldn't remember. It was like a haze, and so he just shrugged it off and looked over at the table next to him. On it, there was his medallion, The Hanging Gaurdian, and next to it were a pair of Shin gaurds he wore underneath his jeans. He turned his face away from them. Fighting was not something he wanted to partake of at this moment in time.
He looked down at her.
"You know- what that guy did. It doesn't mean anything, you know that right? Some people are just nutjobs- hell, the world is full of them." He smiled. "Perhaps he was a guy who just really likes you, and didn't like the fact that you were hanging out with me."
He kept his voice steady, trying his best not to cough.
He didn't want to stain his bed red again...

Well, he avoided her joke and stated the obvious about having metal lodged into him. Alexis waaas attempting to make him feel better.
Then he brought up the douche with the gun. Alexis had never seen him before so she doubted he even liked her... unless they were in English class together and she just didn't notice him, but still. She didn't say hi to him and he wanted to shoot her dead? Maybe if he tried saying hi he would have been greeted back.... so she just thought that he was a crazy guy that didn't like her. Well, now he is dead.
"Who knows. I either way he had a sick way of trying to get my attention." she laughed a little at her dark joke.
"How is the hospital? It is kind of lame...I've always hated being in these places..."
First was when she was stabbed, second was when Li was beaten up, third was when she had a glass protruding from her side and she fell in a coma...and when she woke up her sister died in the bed next to her... then When Gabriel was attacked. NOW she was bringing a guy in who jumped in front of a bullet for her.
"You know I'm really thankful you did that... Considering the pain it looks like you are going through, you must regret it." she laughed a little nervously.

David laughed a little, coving slightly at the end.
"Not at all." He rolled his head away, smiling. "Okay, maybe a little. Not that i want you to die- but this shit HURTS!" He chuckled. "But, if your asking me whether i take it back, not at all. If a man walked in with a gun again, i'd jump out of this bed and take another one for you." He sighed, praying that wouldnt happen. He really didn't want to get shot again...He looked over at her, her piercing green eyes. She seemed like such a nice person when she wasn't trying to jump his bones. He closed his eyes, pretending like it was a wreck of pain when in actuality, he was imaginging her climbing on top of him in the bed, his current physical state leaving him unable to stop her-
He shook his head gently, the thought being forced rather regretfully from his mind. He looked back at her, sighing in his mind. Damn his manhood. He grinned.
"So- any friends at 259 i might know? I mean, you did say you were new, but im sure you have one or two right?"

Well, that was comforting. Now she hoped he was around every time someone had a gun.... not that she wanted him to get shot...
So out came the friends question.
"I have two. Gabriel. He used to have a thing with my sister and ever since her death, we were together... he was their for me when my Fiance left...I moved to California because of him...if he wasn't here I wouldn't have been either." then she remembered where she came from, "Oh..And I came from Paris, not Australia... I lived in Australia before I was sent to Alaska so on and so forth."
She leaned back in her chair, getting a little more comfortable so she fiddled with her clothes a little less, "The second is Victor. He chatted with me one day at the beach...." it was one of those heart to heart chats. He caught her at a bad time... just like everyone else has been doing.

He winced.
Gabriel.
The boy was a-
Well, actually, he wasnt going to get into it.
He listened politely as she told her story. Sister? David didnt know that Gabriel dated someone. He was sure it would have been mentioned...still, he waited while she spoke of Victor. The name sounded familiar, being a boy he once met on some bleachers a few weeks before. Wanting to be Varsity Captain. He took a steady breath, ready to reply, when a nurse walked in, holding a tray of food that smelled absolutely delicious. She set it down in front of him, smiling at his guest before leaving. He lifted his arm, feeling pain stabbing through him.
This was going to be painful.
"Hey, can i ask a personal and probably somewhat unwelcome question?"

He didn't say anything, but the mentioning of Gabriel made he look as if he didn't look to pleased.
The nurse interrupted the chat they had and brought the food in. She smiled at Alexis and she returned the smile. She knew that nurse from the many times of visiting Gabriel. He reached for his food and she could tell he winced. Sub conscientiously she reached for his food and would start to feed him.... something else she was used to with Gabriel... after all... the boy couldn't use his arms due to one not working...and the other didn't have the mechanical arm attached quite yet.
"Hey, can i ask a personal and probably somewhat unwelcome question?"
It was enough to give her a little pause as she held out her hand with the sandwich near his mouth.
"Um......Sure?"
What could be more personal then when she vented to him a few days ago? Nothing should be that bad.

David smiled when she helped him.
Now THAT was a friend.
He took a bite, chewing for a moment while staring at her in silence.
"Thank you..." He took a deep breath.
"How many guys have you slept with?"
Perhaps it was just a mere curiosity, but he was just wondering.

He thanked her for feeding him and she smiled, then out popped his question.
Her eyes went wide and she laughed. Well, now she had to remember. There were the guys from Point Hope... then back in San Fran.... then here...
"Umm..... about nine... maybe more..." (OOC: 9 as in OCs and more as in NPCs)
Alexis wasn't ready to state how many times she slept with each person.... it wasn't the question he asked...
"Yeah....I have a problem..."
At least she had a reason to sleep with a large majority of those people.

"I see. Do you like anyone right now?"
His questions were random, but he suddenly felt in a questioning mood. He took another bite of the sandwich, keeping his face interested in her. Though nine was a lot, he wouldnt say anything- he had met worse. He wondered briefly, between the time he asked and the time it would take her to answer, how long he would be staying here at the hospital. He sighed, then took a deep breath.
He sat up, cringing in pain, then flipped the covers off of him to reveal-
Nothing.
And he blushed, flipping the covers right back over himself...

"I see. Do you like anyone right now?"
She paused. She only liked Li when she slept with many people.. but those feelings were gone. She developed a liking for her friend. It was deep and she had fallen so hard for him... so hard that if he didn't catch her... she would probably break something.
He then moved his blankets, and they both found he was naked. He blushed, as did Alexis. That was an awkward way to see someone naked. Her eyes left his face and looked to the window outside.
"But um... Yeah...I do like someone...A lot." her smile went from happy to a bit saddened. "But..I'm not what he is into... I know the girls he was into..And I'm not them. I was thinking about telling him soon..."

He ignored his naked moment, eyebrows drawing down slightly.
"Ah...You should tell him, i'm sure he'll be excited for it." He pointed to a shelf, where his items were, off behind the girl "could you grab those for me?" When she would turn to do so, he would get out of bed and throw on pants before she even turned around. they were sweatpants, but they were better than nudity. He smiled after she turned back. "Thanks." He took the necklace, hanging it over his bare, wrapped chest. He sighed when he felt its energy kick in. He put his left hand over his side, the pain stabbing him every couple of seconds.
"But- if he's not, or if he doesn't feel the same way, you know that its not the end of the world, right? Your still absolutely stunning, your intelligent, and your very likable and lovable. Just...don't let it hurt you too badly, okay?"
He winced, bending over slightly in pain. He gasped, then stood up again. He needed to be strong.
"Could you get me my shirt and page the doctor for me? I wanna get the fuck out of here."
And that was the truth. He hated hospitals, ever since 42 when Emily was Taken and the nurse was taken as well. He wanted to hurt someone for it, but he knew that, with em being back, he had nowhere to turn his anger on. He applied his xin gaurds and put on his jacket, throwing it over his body after the tanktop that she likely would have taken from the top shelf, next to the shin gaurds and necklace. He smiled.
"Care for some real food? I can't choke that sandwich down anymore- i want a steak."

Alexis listened to his words. She really didn't want to put in consideration Gabriel didn't want her. It was a high possibility, but she felt it would hurt her. After all... everyone left her in her life.
She nodded to him, then turned to grab his clothes and such. She tossed it to him without turning around so she didn't have to see him naked again.
When he asked her to page the doctors, she did so by pressing the the button the patience had to use.
"Care for some real food? I can't choke that sandwich down anymore- i want a steak."
Alexis smiled, "I would love some..I drive.."
The nurse entered the room and She would smile at Alexis.
"Oh hey, Donna...Um... we were wondering if we could go out to eat.."
"He needs to rest..."
Alexis smiled pleadingly.
"No he needs real food... So... we are gonna go now." Donna was a push over. Alexis would always talk her out of stuff.
"See yeah!" she would grab onto David's wrist and lead him out of the hospital and to the Lamborghini she was given to by Gabriel.
