Charlie rushed Marlee down to a nearby urgent care. "What seems to be the problem loves?" The receptionist asked. "I believe my sister broke her nose. She had a nasty fall at school today." The receptionist typed what seemed a paragraph in to her computer. "Have a seat, someone should be right with you. Marlee grabbed a magazine and sat.

Cory shut off the tv around 9:30 and headed to take a shower, I hope her nose is okay, He thought. The floors at school are definitely not soft, that's for sure… He flinched as he thought of the time when he slipped in a puddle while walking through the halls and rubbed his left arm.

"Marlee!" A nurse called. Marlee and Charlie followed the nurse back into a room. The nurse checked Marlee's nose. She also did multiple visions tests. "Well Marlee, I think you might actually have a concussion on top of a broken nose. I have to get the doctor to get a second opinion though." With that the nurse hurried out of the room.

Cory stepped out of the shower and dried himself. He then walked downstairs to see his mom taking her shoes off at the front door, "Hey, mom," He waved slightly. His mom looked up, "Hi honey. How was your day?" "Fine," He lied, "I'm going to get some ice cream and go in my room okay?" She nodded setting her purse on the counter.

"Well Marlee, you don't just have a broken nose, you also have a concussion. You go home and rest and also I'm going to write you a note that allows you to go and leave school as needed." The doctor said to Marlee. Charlie checked Marlee out and even payed for the entire thing with the money he had earned. Charlie and Marlee finally got home at 10:30. Marlee went straight to sleep.

After Cory finished his ice cream he threw away the container and fell asleep with his bangs in his face and very light snoring emitted from him.

Marlee's Cat, Periwinkle, jumped up on her bed and snuggled up next to her.

The next morning Cory awoke drowsily and got dressed. As he opened his door to go to the kitchen, he was met by Lee who was meowing for food. "Needy cat…" He mumbled tiredly and brushed his bangs from his face.

Marlee woke up with a splitting headache. She walked out to the kitchen and was greeted face to face with her father. "Well Marlee, when were you planning on telling me about that." Her father asked. "Well,, I um.." Marlee stuttered. "It;s okay, I'm only messing with you. Charlie filled me in when I got home last night." Her father laughed.

"Morning honey," His mother greeted him, "Would you like some coffee?" "Yes please," Cory smiled sleepily. He made himself a piece of toast and put his stuff near the door and gratefully took his coffee in his hands.

"Are you going in today Mars?" Charlie asked as he walked into the kitchen. "I think for the morning, I think I'm gonna go home at one though." Marlee said. "I have my college course at two, so I leave school at one, I can drive you home." Marlee nodded her head.

The bus came and Cory stepped onto the bus and avoided all eye contact and found an empty seat near the back.

Charlie and Marlee made their way to school. "If you need to leave any earlier let me know, I can always take you home sooner." Charlie said looking over at Marlee. "Okay, thanks." Marlee responded, looking out the window.

Once the bus stopped at school, Cory let everyone else get off the bus before he did and headed to the door head down staring at the sidewalk.

Marlee jumped down out of the truck and Charlie grabbed her bag out of the back. As much as she appreciated him taking care of her, she wished he wouldn't be with her 24/7.

Cory glanced up as he walked up the steps to the doors of the school, he walked through and went straight to his locker apologizing, quietly everytime someone bumped into him.

Marlee sat down in the seat near the back of the classroom, well at least the darkest and quietest place. I hope Cory's here today! she thought to herself.

Cory walked into the classroom and took his seat in the back as usual.

Marlee looked over at Cory and smiled.

Cory noticed Marlee smiling at him, blushed, and gave a small awkward smile back.

(Sorry I didn't answer sooner, I was without internet and I had rehearsal)

Marlee giggled a little. Cory seemed a bit awkward. He's cute when he's flustered.

(It's all good)

Cory watched Marlee giggle and blushed even more, "So…um…i-is your nose okay?" He asked shyly

"Uh, well about that. I have a broken nose and a very minor concussion. But I should be okay soon, like maybe 2-3 weeks." Marlee responded.

Cory's eyes widened, "That's horrible! Are you in pain at all?" He asked then turned his attention to the clock. They had two minutes til they're next class.

"Well, not that much. I'll probably be leaving a 1:30 today though." Marlee responded, pulling her hair up into a loose ponytail.

"Oh, okay," Cory said and stood up to leave, he gave a small wave goodbye, "Well…bye, I've got to go to class…" He sighed and started walking to the door.

"Hey Cory wait!" Marlee ran to catch up with him.

"Uh, yeah?" He asked confusedly, his eyes wide, as he turned around.
