Luken was the first to walk out to the wating room. He has a few bandages in his swollen face, and a two spots where he needed a few stitches. I jumped up, and ran and gave him a hug.
"Are you okay?" I asked. He tensed a little. "Sorry."
"It's okay. I've got two cracked ribs. Taylor got me a couple times with the bat." He said.
"I'm so sorry." I told him.
"Hey." He said, very seriously. He lifted my head up with his hand so I was looking right in his eyes. "Don't ever be sorry. That wasn't your fault."
I felt my eyes start to water. "Thank you." I told him. He put his arm around me and hugged me. I took his hand and lead him to the waiting room where Ceci and Ted were waiting. No one said a word until Stuart came out a few minutes later.
"Calven!" Luken said, standing up. "You okay?" He asked. Calven looked ten times worse off then Luken. One eye was completely swollen shut, he had a bandage on his nose, a huge gash acroos his left cheek that had been stitched closed, and his arm was in a sling.
"I've been through worse." He said. One of his lips had been busted open and it was swollen, so his words were kind of muffled. Luken gave him a cautious hug and he sat down across from us.
"Do you guys need to go?" I asked.
"Not until we see how your friend is doing." Luken said, and took my hand in his. I looked at Ceci, and she looked so upset. She was just staring at the floor. Ted had his arm around her. We only had to wait about another half hour and we saw Olie walk out with a nurse. She was helping him with some paperwork. His arm was in a bright green cast, and I couldn't help but laugh a little when I saw it. He walked over to us, and Ceci jumped up, and hugged him, nearly knocking him off his feet.
"What is this? Miss me?" He asked her.
"Are you okay?" She asked, letting go of him and wiping her eyes.
"Ah, I'm just fine. The doc gave me some happy pain pills." He said, and we all laughed. "It took the doc some convincing to get the green cast though. He said the colored stuff is only for kids and teens." He said, holding up his arm.
"Do I have the honor of signing it?" Luken asked.
"Honor?" Olie asked, and puffed out his chest.
"Oh great, you've done it now." I said to Luken, and laughed.
"Hey. Lets say we all get home." Ted said. We all went outside and waited for two cabs. They both got there at the same time. Stuart climbed in one, and Ceci, Olie, and Ted climbed in another. Luken and I stood facing each other.
"Thank you again." I said to Luken.
"Hey. I would do it again for you." He said, and I smiled.
"Call me, okay? Let me know how you and Stuart are doing." I told him.
"I will." He said, and hugged me. I looked up at him and our eyes met. I smiled, and he leaned down and kissed me. We kissed for a few seconds, then said goodbye and got into our seperate cabs.

When we got back home I went straight to bed. Ceci said there was no way she was getting to sleep anytime soon and went over to Olie and Ted's. I was sound asleep for a few hours before I heard a knock on my door. I looked at the clock and it was 3:00 am.
I yawned, and walked out to the door. I heard a weird thumping coming from the wall, but didn't think anything of it. When I looked through the peep hole Ted was standing there with a pillow and blanket. I opened the door and let him in.
"Ted?" I asked.
"Mind if I crash here?" He asked.
"No, not at all. What's up?" I asked, and he blushed. I gave him a wierd look, and he nodded to the living room wall where the thumping was coming from. I looked at it, still confused. Finally it hit me! On the other side of that wall was the guys apartment. More specificaly it was Olies room.
"Oh my god!" I said, laughing a little.
"Yeah, I know. They are being really loud too. I can't sleep." Ted said, trying to hold his laugh in.
"You can crash in Ceci's room. I know she wont mind." I told him, still laughing. "I can't believe they are finaly hooking up."
"Yeah. I guess it's about time. I just wish they would keep it down. The first time they weren't so loud, but-"
"Whoa! Wait...First time?" I asked.
"Yeah. I think this makes time 3, tonight." He answered, blushing. I started laughing so hard.
"Oh my god! This is too funny." I said. I said good night to Ted and went back to bed. I was still giggling when I climbed in.

I woke up the next morning to a loud scream. I jumped out of bed and ran out to the living room. Ceci was walking out of her room laughing.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"I just wasn't expecting to see Ted in my bed." She said.
"Well, he wouldn't be if someone hadn't been so loud last night." I said, grinning.
"Oh my god! We were?" She asked.
"Yeah." I told her, and she started laughing.
"It's about time you two got together." I told her.
"I know! It was incredable." She said. Ted walked out, rubbing his face.
"Sorry I woke you up Ted." Ceci said.
"It's okay. Who needs sleep, right?" He asked, and yawned. I'm going to go back to sleep in my own bed." He said, and left.
"Thank goodness. I'm exausted." Ceci told me, and started walking to her room. "That boy can move."
"I don't need to know!" I shouted, laughing. She shut the door, and I realized I was the only one up. I sighed knowing there was no way I was going to be able to go back to bed. I took a hot shower and got dressed, then called Luken.
"Morning." He answered, surprisingly alert.
"Morning. Are you up?" I asked him.
"Yeah, I've been up for a little while. I usually don't sleep in. Normaly I'd be working out right now, but I can't for a few weeks. Not a normal work out anyway." He said.
"Are you busy?" I asked him.
"No. I'm just sitting around. Stuart is passed out. They gave him some pretty good stuff I guess." He said.
"Do you think it would be okay if I came over? I could bring some breakfast and coffee. We could hang out." I asked.
"I would love to. You don't know where I live though." He said.
"Hmmm...that is a problem. You could always tell me where you live." I told him.
"It's not in the best area. I'd feel better if I just met you somewhere." He said.
"Don't be silly! I'm a big girl. Just tell me where." I told him.
"It's actually not too far from you. 40th ave and McCallister rd." He said.
"I know exactly where that is. My friend Mark used to live there." I told him.
"Mark Armstrong?" He asked.
"Yeah. You know him?" I asked.
"Yeah. He's our roomate." Luken said, and laughed.
"NO WAY! I know exactly where you live then." I told him. "I'll see you soon."
"Okay. Bye." He said, and we hung up.
My hair was still a little wet, so before I left I found a pink bandana and tied it around my head. I felt silly, but my heart was racing. I was excited to go see Luken.
