Waking up is hard to do *ducks*

[call_me_gunn]

Damn. I was awake again. And I sure as hell wished I wasn't. I've been beaten up, thrown into walls, hit with weird tenticle things...but none of that ever hurt like this. It took me a moment to realize where I was

::I stood sorta behind Nicole when we walked into the room. I didn't really know him but it's still painful seeing anyone like this. I know I will get to know him better but this wasn't the way I wanted to actually meet him. I mean Nicole talked about him fighting and really standing his grounds. It woulda been cool to I dunno walk in there new offices to see him training or at least holding a weapon. It was kind of weird him thinking he ruined our night, but then I thought on that and maybe that is how he deals with his pain is by using a joke. God knows Xander did that. Nicole uses jokes when she wants to hide what she is feeling. Even I make with jokes at times. My way of dealing with things usually ends up with me climbing out a window or sitting in a tree though.::

"Ruin? You kiddin me? All this party needs it a round or pictionary, and you're ahead of the game with your little not pad. No fair..."

::I just stayed quiet not really sure of what to say. Usually Nicole is the quiet one and she seems to be handling this better then I seem to be. Then I noticed she was holding back the tears. Which is natural. I mean she new this guy. Again I have only heard stories so I am going to let them have there chat till I say anything. Less you know there is the whole intro thing..which sure enough there was.::

"Gunn, this is Dawn. Dawn...this is Gunn."

::I slid out from behind Nicole to get a better view of him and smiled slightly::

Nice to meet you Dawn. You're name sounds familiar.

::Wow I guess Nicole has mentioned me a few times to the gang. Or maybe Angel did. Or it could have been Cordy...probably not. Willow could have when she came down. Or who knows maybe Buffy had told them bout me but my guess it that it was Nicole. I mean she told me bout the gang so it's normal that she would tell them bout me.::

"Well I guess Nicole has talked about you before. Plus you probably know my sister Buffy. I'm sorry you got hurt."

::Sorry you got hurt....okay well that's just natural that I would be sorry. Okay hospital trips sure as hell don't get easier. I can't believe I said that. Maybe I should just wait in the waiting room and ya know..wait. No bad idea I am going to be here cause I can't just leave Nicole alone. I can tell that this is hard enough as it is. I mean she wouldn't be along cause Gunn would be here...I am going to stop thinking now. Smiles...yes there smiling always good.::

Hey, it's ok. I'm sorry I got hurt too. I really can't thank you both enough. I stoppe and looked at Nicole.

Come on girl, no need to cry. I'm going live. No major damage or anything. My poor truck, on the other hand I tried to grin again, and I'm afraid it came out a grimace.

Where the hell were all the adults??? This wasn't fair to either of them at all.

I walked over to the bed side and placed his phone down on the small nightstand. The tiny device had seen better days. It's a shame too....loved the ring-tone.

I cleared my throat before speaking, this helped choke back any chance of me making with the water works.

"I--I called them. They're...on their way..."

I hope... Now was so not the time to bring up the odd non-conversation that took place before Gunn's phone had died. Cor said she'd be here...and she would.

Hopefully she meant sometime this century...

Hey, it's ok. I'm sorry I got hurt too. I really can't thank you both enough.

::I smiled. Maybe he is just being nice but hey that's cool long as we don;t bring up my little nervous act up at all. It's all good with me> I mean half the time I can be such a tough guy, specially round my sister again I have a reason. I once again put the ice pack on my face. My sis can really pack a punch...okay not punch cause she didn't punch me but she sure can slap hard. It's only because she was handed super powers. Anyone could do that. But Nicole she has her own power..the power of fashion. That's so much cooler then what Buffy does...okay staking vamps granted that can be fun....okay look I am in a I hate my sister mood so there. Besides Nicole and I can kick butt when we need to and make a great team. Give us the chance and I bet we can have a higher kill for vamps then her....not that I am wishing for vamps or nothing. Here I go getting off topic again. I leaned against the doorway just cause well I was closer to that then a wall, plus I already said something stupid I don't need to trip over anything. I just hope the AI team gets here. I poked my head out the door and saw know signs of adults..well okay there were doctors and nurses, but I mean important people...okay wait they are important but...ugh no sign of the team is where I am going with this. I looked back in the room at Gunn then to Nicole. There is my brave little toaster. She is dealing so well. But we put on strong faces when we don't want people to really know what's going on. I am sure we are going to talk or something later its totally up to her.::

"Don't worry. Cordy is prolly just stuck in traffic is all. They will be here soon. I know Cordy well enough that when she says she will be somewhere she actually does eventually show up. But ya you know traffic in LA specially..at this time of the day."

::I smiled to Nicole hoping this was helping any. Cause we don't need Gunn worrying about Fred and Cordy. We need Gunn to stay in bed till he heels some so it's best not ot get him worrying.::

"Buffy is cool with us not being in school today, besides I looked at today's schedule they are just holding assembly's all day anyway so not missing anything there."

::Okay so I might be lying some bout assembly's all day but it gives us an excuse to be out of school. Plus Buffy hopefully isn't worrying so at least there is something I don't have to worry bout when I get home.::

It just hit me how long I've gone without getting any sleep. Uh...I mean WE...yeah, that's it. Dawn had been waiting here as long as I have. Thank goodness...I'd probably be in the psychiatric wing of the building by now if it wasn't for her.

Funny thing is...I wasn't even tired. I don't even need a billion cups of coffee or sugar to keep me up. Nope...just drama, and lots of it. Keeps ya wired! I---guess.

I finally nod in agreement with Dawn. "LA...traffic...bad."

???

Alrighty then, its seems I been taken over by a caveman--girl--woman...ugh. Beginning to re-think that whole not tired thing.

"W-what happened?" It was the only thing I could manage to ask him. Did he even remember it happening? He was an ace when it came to driving...definate NASCAR material! Well, that, or bus driver--NASCAR is WAY cooler.

Not sure. Got a call from English saying Fred needed help. Next thing I remember, is the truck doing a roll-over dive into the ditch. I tried calling English, but probably, with this jaw, he couldn't hear me.

Damn my hand was starting to hurt. And it was still my good hand. Everything was starting to hurt.

Hurts bad. Get a nurse...ple... I just couldn't write anymore.
