More Than Friends?

*Nicole's POV*

"So it turns out Andy didn't even decide to stay the night with me after I fell asleep. I guess it's not that big of a deal, but you'd think he'd stay here considering I got shot in the damn leg." I tell Nolan as I eat my lunch.

"Well, maybe there was an emergency with his family or something. Don't overthink it." Nolan reassuringly says.

"Yea but it's also already lunch time and he hasn't come yet. Wouldn't he come let me know what's going on since I lost my phone when I was kidnapped?" I mumble towards the end.

"I'm sure he's going to come soon. But I have to go to work. I'll come back later." He says getting up and walking to the door.

"Okay! Bring me back some french fries!" I yell as he walks out.

"I can't make any promises!" He shouts walking down the hall. What an ass.

Nolan and I have become very close since he rescued me. I know it's only been about two days but he came to visit me super early this morning unlike Andy. We've talked about all sorts of things. I've gotten to know a lot about him and he's pretty cool. He's 19, works at the Diner near the place he rescued me from, has a pet cat named pepper, and he's really sweet. I'm glad I can have other friends other than Andy. I continue to eat my fruit cup and watch Dr. Phil on the small TV in the corner.

Also, I decided to not tell the police who kidnapped me cause I knew it would bite me in the ass. Was that a dumb idea? Yes. But Brittany and my dad know people and they could come for me; not like they aren't going to come for me after what happened. But I'm too scared to tell. I didn't really tell the police anything. I just said I was drugged up the whole time and can't remember faces. Nolan didn't give them much information either since he only saw the back of my dads head. But he did tell them where we were so that will definitely bite me in the ass later. I'm just going to pretend nothing happened. It's easier for me to cope doing that anyways.

"Hey Nic." I hear a voice say. I look over to my left and see Andy standing in the doorway with roses in his hands and and a big cheesy smile.

"Hey babe!" I yell. "I've missed you so much! But, why come so late?" I ask.

"Yea sorry about that." He says rubbing the back of his neck. "I woke up late and took hours trying to find the right kind of flowers." He notions with his eyes. I giggle. He sets the roses down on the table next to me and pulls the chair Nolan was sitting in over beside me on my right.

"How are you feeling?" He asks putting my hands in his.

"I'm doing okay. Still in a lot of pain but okay." I laugh. "Nolan came to visit earlier and kept me company for a few hours. He's a good friend." I smile.

"Um, how are you two friends? You barely know each other." Andy snickers.

"We've gotten to know a lot about each other in the past two days. Don't get so worked up; he's just a friend." I mumble looking away.

"Yea okay okay whatever." He shrugs. "How's that Dr. Phil treating you?" He chuckles looking at the TV. I laugh and before I can respond, the doctor walks in.

"So we got some good and bad news, Ms. Smith." The doctor says. "Everything is all going fine and you're healing very well, but because of there the bullet had hit, it's going to take a lot of careful and long healing time." He says reading his clipboard. Andy grips my hands harder. "Now regarding the head trauma.." He says.

"Head trauma?! How come you didn't say this sooner?!" Andy shouts concerned. He grips my hands harder.

"Yes, there is lots of head trauma. And if you must know, I have many many patients, sir." He gives Andy a dirty look.

"Andy it's okay. At least we know now." I mutter looking at him.

"Mhm whatever." He mumbles looking at the bed.

The doctor leaves so Andy and I watch more Dr. Phil and share the rest of my lunch. I'm just glad we can spend some time together.
