run by Cass’s place and get a few things for her and Josh.” He says, giving Josh a look. “You look shattered and we will need you to cover for us when we need to rest sweetie, okay?” There is no point in arguing with Joe, so I nod in agreement and hug them both. I give my best friend a kiss on her forehead and leave her room. James and I walk to the elevators and a nurse stops him.
“Hi, are you real ly the James Wilde from that TV show?” James looks at me and back to the nurse.
“No , sorry you have the wrong guy.” He shrugs and pulls me into the elevator. He still hasn’t let me go.
“Why didn’t you tell her yes? She knew who you were , James” I’m confused as to why he told her no.
“Now isn’t the time to be having photos with fans or s igning autographs. I’m here for you, not for me.” Wow, his reply shocks me. I wouldn’t have minded, but I understand now why he told her no. We arrive in the underground parking and I lean against the car, still trying to take it all in. I can’t believe I could have lost my best friend tonight. So much has happened this week and I just want to curl up and sleep for a week. James comes back around to my side of the car and hooks a strand of hair behind my ear. His soft fingers trace my jaw line. My tired body responds to him.
I place my hand over his . “Thank you for staying with me. I really don’t know if I could have coped without you.” He gives me a sweet shy smile.
“I’m glad that you let me s tay. I want to be here for you Tally, I do. I really like you and if you give me half a chance to show you how I feel about you, you won’t regret it.” I smile and give him a gentle kiss on the cheek before getting into his car.
The next few days blur into each other . Mrs. Silver had given me as much time off work as I needed, which is great since Cassidy still remained unconscious. The doctor said they would bring her out of the sedation slowly and she will wake when she is ready. All her scans showed no injury to her brain, which is good. It was my time to sit with my best friend while her parents and Josh took some time away from her bedside. It was hard to get Josh to leave her, but he gave in and went home for some sleep. I came in today on my own. James had a few things to take care of in relation with his TV show. We have been spending most days here together, even though we sit in silence most of the time. I looked through the unit next to Cassidy’s hospital bed for her hair brush. She would not be happy if she woke up and saw the state of her hair. While I gently brush my best friend’s hair, a young nurse comes into her room, looks at her chart, and then up at us. “Are you the girl who visits with that really hot actor?” I stop brushing Cassidy’s hair and look at the nurse. Where is she going with this?
“Which guy?”
“You know, the actor. James Wilde” She keeps looking at me, but I hold her stare. “So is he your boyfriend? Because I haven’t heard anything about him having a girlfriend.” I am shocked that she has even come in here while at work to ask me about a visitor.
“Aren’t you working? I don’t think it’s very professional to come in here and ask about one of your patient’s visitors .” She blinks at me and a creepy smile spreads across her face.
“Well , for his sake, I hope that you’re not his girlfriend. He could do so much better.” I blink at her in utter shock that she has just spoken to me like that. Then I notice something off with her nurse’s uniform.
“Hang on, you’re not an actual nurse, are you? You don’t wear the same color scrubs.” I walk to her at the bottom of the bed, stand right in front of her, and we are face to face, as she is short like me. “How dare you come in here and tell me that I’m not good enough for him. You don’t know me, or him. “She cuts me off.
“Actually I do know him. H e is James Wilde from Control. I have been a fan for a while now. He
