Shortly after Brian arrived at the hospital the doctor came out and said that Lissa was going to be alright. She had a broken arm and she was shaken up a bit but she would be released under one stipulation. She had a slight concusion and she needed to stay with someone who could watch her all night long. And the doctor wanted it to be someone who really knew Lissa. That left Em and Jeff.
"I think Jeff should stay with Lissa." Brian suggested.
"But Brian, Lissa is my bestfriend." Em argued.
"I understand that, and she's Jeff's bestfriends too. But my point is that this has already shaken you up to much." Brian said reasoning with Em.
Em knew he was right. This whole thing made her think of Dave.
"Okay, your right." Em said.
"Jeff would you mind?" Brian asked.
"No not at all." Jeff said as the doctor pulled him aside to tell him what to look for.
"Are you sure this is the right thing to do?" AJ asked. Brian shot AJ a look.
"This is not the time or place for any of that." Brian said.
AJ knew he was out of line as soon as he said it but all he could think about was the passion he and
Lissa had shared earlier that day. He thought he was the choosen one. What he didn't know was that
Lissa was on her way to give Jeff the chance he deserved when she had the accident.
The doctor then told Lissa that she was going to stay with Jeff for a couple of days until she was due for a checkup.
"Doctor could you send Jeff in here for a minute." Lissa asked.
"Sure." the doctor said leaving the room.
"Jeff, could you come in here for a minute? Melissa wants to talk to you." the doctor said. Jeff walked in the room not sure what to say. He still feel like this is somehow his fault.
"Jeff!" Lissa exclaimed.
"Lissa, are you alright?" Jeff asked a little worried.
"I'll be alright I am just shaken up a bit."
"I'm so sorry." Jeff said.
"Why the accident wasn't your fault." Lissa said trying to reassure her bestfriend.
"Listen, I just want to make sure you're okay with me staying with you."
"Lissa, you know I'd do anything for you. You are my bestfriend."
"I know I just wanted to ask." Lissa said
"Come on... there are people waiting to see you." Jeff said as he helped Lissa into a wheelchair.
"I hate these things." Lissa protested.
"I know but it's procedure. Now work with me here." Jeff said laughing.
Lissa smiled and thought to herself that she was glad she had such good friends. And maybe this time with Jeff will let me know if we could be more than friends.
