We get to the beach house. People are overreacting. They think I'm going to die. They told me to sleep and gave me an icepack for my head. I laid on the couch an put the icepack on the side of my head where the wound is. I honestly feel fine. I turn the tv on and watch 21 jump street. I almost drool as I see Channing Tatum. Man, my hormones have been crazy lately.

Everyone else is in the living room sitting on the left over couches. Some people are watching the movie, some are talking and others are whining about how hungry they are. I just kind of stare at the tv and listen to other peoples conversations.

I'm pretty hungry though so I second the food option.

"Can we go get food?" I ask

Everyone agrees

"We can. You can't." says Courtney giving me a new icepack

"Seriously? I feel fine!" I whine

"We'll go bring food and we'll all eat here. Got it?" She says

I roll my eyes and grunt

"I'm seriously completely okay" I say

"It's for your own safety" she says

"I'll stay with her while you guys go... to look after her" says Miles

"Perfect!" Smiles Hazel

"You guys are making this such a big deal...." I say

No one answers

Hazel smirks at me and mouths the words "have fun"

I laugh and shake my head saying no

"We'll be back in an hour" says hazel winking at me "maybe two"

And then they leave.

"How does your head feel" says Miles as he bites into an apple

"Completely fine" I say

"Then take the icepack off" he says "I mean... if you don't need it then your just wasting it. You need to save it for the next time you do something stupid" he smiles

"That was not my fault!" I say "those rocks were way too slippery"

"I could have carried you" he says as he sits next to me

"Coulda woulda shoulda. We both would have fallen anyways. Plus I met a really hot doctor so that made up for it" I smile

"Oh really?" He asks "what was his name?"

"I'm not sure" I say "I never looked at his name tag... He was the one who told you I had STD's"

"Ohhhh. Wow he's old" says Miles

"He is not!" I say

"Yes he is" he laughs "he's probably like 50"

I gasp

"Nuh uh! He's like in his late 30's" I say "and he was being very flirty"

"Really?" Says Miles

"And he's not married" I say

"What makes you think that?"

"No ring" I say pointing to my ring finger

"Well since he's a doctor, he probably takes it off when he's touching your blood" says Miles

"Oh no" I say sadly "he probably is married isn't he"

"Sorry" says Miles

"Well it's logical. Why would that gorgeous human be single. He probably isn't even human." I say

"Wait he flirted with you?" Asks Miles returning to the subject

"2 winks, excessive smiling, touched me a lot... all over"

Miles' raises his eyebrows

"Ok maybe not the last one" I giggle

"Well Naomi" says Miles "maybe he was just being friendly"

"Nahh. I'm pretty sure he wanted me" I smile

Miles laughs

His laugh is so cute.

"I mean who wouldn't" he says

"Obviously" I smile

I start to watch the movie again and notice Miles staring at me. I don't do anything. I just keep watching the movie, but he keeps staring. I'm starting to get embarrassed.

"Stop staring" I laugh

"Sorry, I can't" he says "it's impossible. Am I embarrassing you?"

I cover my face with my hands.

"Stoop" my voice is muffled

I sit a bit closer. When I look at him I notice a scar on his collarbone

"Is that the one from the car accident?" I ask

I take my hand and lightly place it on the scar. His skin feels nice and warm against mine. He tenses up as I do this.

"Yea" he says looking at my hand

"We both always get hurt" I smile

I run the tips of my finger on his collarbone tracing the scar.

"You have one on your face too?" I say

The scar is smaller. It's on his lower cheek close to his mouth. Again, I place my hand on the scar lightly stroking it with my thumb. Just touching his skin feels like electricity is running through my fingers. We are a few inches apart. I really want to kiss him. I look up to his eyes who are looking back at me. I smile slightly as he comes closer. I lean forward expecting to feel his lips on mine. Instead I feel nothing. He pulls back and looks a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry" he says looking overwhelmed "I can't do this"
