Chapter Twenty

Blu's POV

"Alright, back into bed." I said, shutting the door behind Reece.

"What if I don't want to?" She grumbled.

"What if I'm the doctor and I told you to?" I retorted.

"Fine." She eased herself onto the bed. Something about her felt familiar. She laid down and faced me.

"So, I'm going to be stuck with you for awhile, might as well tell be who you are." She said. I walked over to the corner of the room and grabbed a chair. I set it down in front of the bed and sat down.

"Well."

"My name's Blu. I'm a time-jumper and I'm twenty-four. My fiance is named Emily, she's a mortal- human- like you." I started, she stared at me expectantly.

"Childhood? Where were you born?"

"I was born here but spent most of my childhood in a foster home in Sunset Valley. Don't ask me about my parents, I don't know who they are nor do I care. When I was nineteen I came back here and met Emily." I added. "You?"

"Born here. My parents disappeared when I twelve, my aunt raised me." She said shortly. I watched as she sat up and swung her legs off the bed. 

"Hey what are you doing?" I cried, jumping out of the chair, sending it a few feet away. She stood up.

"I'm capable of standing." She said, a smug grin on her face.

"I'm pretty sure that I'm the one to say so." I grumbled. Her expression hardened and she moved towards me.

"Why?! Why didn't you help me?! I may have been half dead but I know I saw your face!" She shrieked.

"What?" I had been hoping that she hadn't remembered.

"What if Reece didn't contact you? I really would be dead!"

"I want an answer!" The girl screamed.

"I couldn't!" 

"You couldn't?! Couldn't what? WHY?"

"I was working for her, I didn't know anything about what was going on. She just wanted me to cover a time trail." I explained.

"I don't know what the HELL that means but I don't care." She shouted. She took a deep breath and placed a hand on her forehead.

"Are you okay?" I moved closer.

"Don't...touch me." Her words slurred together as she swayed slightly.

Her body dropped to the ground suddenly. I fell to my knees and crawled over to her.

 "Vinnie?"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I sat on the bed beside her, holding her close. The door swung open and Reece dashed in.

"I heard her yelling. Is everything-" I stopped when he saw his girlfriend, unconscious on the bed. He shook with rage.

"What the hell, are you doing in bed with her?" He growled through clenched teeth.

"It's called healing dumbass." I said with a smirk.

"Just...leave her alone. I'll sit with her." Reece said, walking towards the bed.

"Fine." I liked watching vampy boy squirm.

As I moved to get up her hand grabbed onto my vest.

"No." She mumbled, resting her head against my shoulder. It was weird. I felt something when I was with her, nothing romantic, but something.

"She has chosen." I snickered.
