There was a soft knock on the door and he looked over to see the beautiful, young nurse that had been taking care of him the past few days.

"May I come in?" She asked.

He tried to shift himself upright so he wouldn't look lazy. "Of course--Ow!" His side stung in pain.

"Oh, let me help you." She rushed over to his bedside and wrapped her arms around him to help shift him upright.

She had the softest touch. Andy was happy that she was his nurse. After jumping off a ledge and completely missing the stage, Andy was sent to the hospital with three broken ribs.

"So, are you okay? I just came to check on you to make sure. I hear they're going to let you go tomorrow." She tucked a strand of loose blonde hair behind her ear.

"Yeah, I'm good... Now that you're here." Andy said and she smiled. He loved her smile. He did everything he could to make her smile.

"Oh, stop it, Andy." She giggled.

"I have to ask." He continued. "I know that they're letting me go tomorrow but I don't want to stop seeing you. So... Would you maybe like to go on a date with me?"

"A date?" She thought for a moment. No guy really had ever asked her out on a date before. "Okay." She agreed. "But do you think we could maybe wait a week or so?"

"...Sure?" Andy was a little confused. "Have something going on?"

"Uh, yeah... I have something going on... Oh, I have to go. Someone is paging me. I'll be back later on, Andy." She turned and hurried out the door.

That was the second lie she had told him today. She knew she couldn't keep lying to him like that. He was bound to find out her secret sooner or later. She went back to the nurses' station to sit and just think about how she was going to pull this date off without Andy finding out.

"Hey, Sophie. What's up?" He charge nurse, Anna, greeted her.

"Hi, Anna..." Sophie sat down in a chair next to her.

"What's wrong, buttercup?" Anna asked.

"I need you to let me work a double shift this week." Sophie begged.

"Sophie... That's way too much. I can't let you over work yourself. What do you need the extra money for?"

Sophie sighed. "I need to buy some nice clothes. A guy asked me on a date and I want to look nice for him and impress him."

Anna put her arm around Sophie. "Tell you what. Come over and pick out whatever you want from my closet."

Sophie smiled. "Are you sure?"

"Of course. Now go home and get some rest."

"But my shift isn't over-"

"I know. You need some rest, I can tell."

Sophie gave Anna a hug, grabbed her bag and went down the hallway to stop at Andy's room before she left to go to the one place she hated most.

'Home.'
