NeeNee Omniscient Omnipotent Pie Maker Okay now things felt awkward.
"So...." what do we do now that we've both messed up, apologized and accepted?
This is why Caroline didn't have friends. Or very many. Then she never had to find herself wondering these things. When she made mistakes it was easier to just... not apologize, not accept, and let the friendship die. But she didn't want to just let this one die.
"So maybe I should go check on Tino. And James. They'll both be waking up soon." And I'm a big huge coward. And I don't know what else to say or do so running away seems like a good idea. Back to her hospital. Back to a world where she was in complete control. This world was completely beyond her control and she didn't like it.
"Just because I'm not the only one doesn't mean I have to like it." She'd much rather be perfect. Perfect people make no mistakes, they don't have to clean up after them, much less wonder how. She ignored the niggle of thought that told her her life would be terribly boring if she ever WAS perfect.
This time it was Caroline who pushed open the door. "I guess I hereby retract my order to stay out of the Hospital Wing," she added, blushing at the memory of her temper.
