Angels Need Angels | A Marshfield FanFic

Chapter 2 || Feelings

|| Kate's POV ||

Max left for school about an hour ago, which makes me pretty sad, I enjoy her company so much but I know how much she values her photography and Mr Jefferson's classes. Hopefully now at Blackwell people might start treating her better after what she did for me.

on phone

Me: hey Max, it was great you staying, I hope you're feeling better now and stronger. Let me know how today goes with everybody and I'll see you soon. Remember, you're my angel now and you're mine, angels need angels, always - Kate Xx

Max: Victoria still kissing Jefferson's ass (nothing new there) except she's been surprisingly cool around me, she's missing you Kate, and even wrote a sweet note on your slate outside your dorm :) sure she'll want to pop in at some point, maybe it's the new Victoria?? Xx

me: goodness I hope so! Anyways I need to get back to my drawing, my nurse Mrs Darren's thinks with a good amount of work it could really get published, like for real! Speak soon, love you Xx

Max: see you soon Kate X

That text conversation made my entire heart flutter slightly, im not entirely sure why. The presence of Max gives me a sense of comfort. Not having Alice here is difficult enough but Max is helping me through everything, I couldn't be more glad.

As I continue to draw my mind onto just my drawings, I feel a gentle hand brush against my arm. It's Doctor Sean. He smiles down at me in delight whilst in awe with my drawings, my modesty slipping past.

"These are amazing Kate! I'm so glad you're doing better. In fact, since it's been 5 days, and we did say that's the estimated time you'd be leaving, we can legally discharge you." He grins. "Obviously you're going to need to get changed and pack your things but you're free!"

I am overcome with excitement and I begin jumping up and down relentlessly.
"I can go and see Alice and Max!" I squeal excitedly, noticing the fool I'm making of myself.
"Oh is Max that girl you were with this morning and last night, you two seem close." He questions suspiciously.
"She's the one that saved me, she's my angel." I wince, blushing unexpectedly.

"You're not more than friends." He questions jokingly, making my tone of red shade even darker. Luckily I know that he's a good joker so he'd never mean anything by it, but what if I do? What if I do see Max as more than a friend and I just don't know it?

"Sorry Kate, I shouldn't embarrass you like that. Either way, you need to get ready, your friend will be excited to see you out." He chuckles, gently punching my shoulder and walking back out of  my room.

I begin to pack away my things, my bible, drawings, colouring pencils, I leave the few flowers I have left by the side of my bed, ready for another patient, along with the three get well balloons I was given. I then head off to get myself changed, leaving me in a train of thoughts. Why did I blush when Doctor Sean mentioned Max, and why does having her around make me feel so great. I know that having your angel around you surely does make you feel something special, but this is so much different.
