Chapter 3
I opened my eyes, but quickly closed them again due to the brightness in the room.
Once my eyes adjusted, I looked around and noticed that I was in a hospital room. I saw out of the corner of my eye someone sitting in a chair.
It was Tobin.
"Tobin," I croaked out. My voice was extra raspy and my head throbbed.
At the sound off my voice, Tobin turned to face me. She jumped out of her chair and rushed to my side.
"Alex, you're awake!" Tobin cried.
"What happened?" I asked.
I pressed my hand to my head to stop the pain, and when I did, my fingers brushed against a rough patch on my forehead.
"You hit your head on a table when you fainted," Tobin explained. "You got stitches."
"Oh." I strained to remember fainting when as man walked in.
"Hello, Alex. I'm Dr. Anderson," the man smiled.
The man, now identified as Dr. Anderson, was tall and very friendly-looking.
"Now, Alex, do you remember anything before you fainted?" The doctor questioned.
"No." I started to cry. "What if I will never be able to? What if... Oh my God! Where's Servando?"
I didn't see Tobin cringe at that question, nor did I see Dr. Anderson preparing a shot.
"Servando's my husband! Where is he? Does he know that I....Ow!"
I didn't see the needle go in, but I sure felt it.
"Ow! What the he...Hey."
I smiled. I no longer felt anxious or scared.
"What was that?" I asked, grinning like an idiot.
"It was a stress-relieving shot," Dr. Anderson replied.
"Now, Alex, why don't you go ahead and get some sleep?" The doctor suggested. "You're gonna start feeling tired soon anyways," he added.
"Ok."
I rolled over into my side and rested my head on the pillow, being careful not to hit my head on the head board. I closed my eyes and fell into a much needed slumber, still smiling.

Tobin's POV
---------------
Toby- She just woke up
Kriegs- Thank God!
Toby- She doesn't remember what happened at the bar
Kriegs- I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing
Toby- Me either
I set my phone down for a minute and gazed at Alex's sleeping form. It was easy for me to admit that I liked her since Servando was out of the picture.
Servando.
I whipped my phone back out, nearly dropping it in the process.
Tobin- We need to talk
Servando- Um ok
Tobin- Ill be over soon so you'd better get your ass prepared
Servando- .....
Servando- Ok see you soon...
I exited the conversation and opened a new one.
The Nutmeg Queen- Hey Kel can you pick up Alex when it's time
Irish Squirrel- yeah sure
The Nutmeg Queen- Ok thanks
I pocketed my phone, took a quick glance at Alex, and then left the room.

"Uh, hey Tobin," Servando greeted confusedly when I knocked on the door.
"Hi," I retorted.
I barged past him without an invitation and headed for the kitchen. I stood by the counter and waited for him to enter. When he did, he looked more confused than ever.
"Um, so what's going on?" Servando asked, looking confused and a little nervous.
I glared at him.
"Youre cheating on Alex," I stated coldly.
I watched his face go from confused and nervous to shocked and a little angry.
"W-what?" He stuttered. "You don't know what you're talking about!"
"Don't play dumb! I heard you at the bar earlier! So did Alex!"
Servando turned pale.
"Where is she?"
"Well, I have a little story for you," I started. "You see, Alex trusted you, for some reason, and when she heard your little confession, the poor girl fainted from shock and hit her head on a table. She was taken to the hospital."
Servando was almost white now.
"Oh my God! Is she still alive?"
Servando was panicking. He didn't want to be the cause of her death, even if he didn't care about her that much.
"Yes, you idiot she's still alive," I rolled my eyes.
"Oh ok. Where is she?"
"She will be staying at MY apartment until we leave for our game next week in Germany," I answered.
"Besides, her ex-husband probably won't care anyways," I added.
Servando glared at me.
"I'm not....I won't admit nor deny it, but even if I was cheating on her it wouldn't be any of your business!" Servando yelled.
"Excuse me?" I yelled back in disbelief. "Uh, yeah it is! She's my best friend!"
"Get out," Servando whispered, his voice filled with venom.
"Get out and stay out, and don't you dare tell her."
"Fine!" I spat. "But if she finds out, don't be surprised when I come break down your door to come kick your cheating ass!"
With that, I spun on my heel and stormed out the door, slamming it behind me.
