The nurse made her sit in a wheel chair and pushed her to Nomti's room.
He looked dreadful, his usually perky ears drooping and his breaths came in raspy bursts, "Hey Nikita," his voice was scratchy.

"Hey.", she smiles at him. "How are you doing?", he asked.

"I'm fantastic, how about you?" he coughed and reached her hand towards hers, interlacing his fingers.

"I'm fine. Did they say how long it would be before you get to go home?", she asked, wondering if their parents had been contacted yet. She twined her fingers with his.

As she thought this, Nomti's parents rushed in, his father looking much like Nomti with grayish black fur while his mother was a normal Jackal, having brown and tan fur.
"Oh thank God!" his mother cried and rushed to his side, ignoring Nikita.

Nikita let go of Nomti's hand. Without a word. She left his room and went back to her room, getting out of the wheelchair and getting in her bed.

Nomti frowned when she left and tried squeezing her hand but was too weak to make her feel it. At least his parents were there.

Nikita's parents never came. "Well that shows you how much they care.", sherolled her eyes. Abouttwo hours later, she was discharged and told she could go home. The only problem was that her parents weren't answering their phones and she didn't have her car.

Nomti had to stay in the hospital for another week and by the time his parents left, he was asleep again.

Nikita decided to stay with Nomti. One night, she came into his room and sat on a chair beside his bed.

Nomti was awake and restless that night. He smiled broadly at her and gripped her hand, "How are you?"

Nikita smiled back as she laced her fingers through his, "Fine. Just anxious for you to leave the hospital.", she said.

"So am I. Thank you for visiting me," he sat up and patted his bed, motioning for her to sit with him, "I assume your dad was busy right after the shooting?"

She sat down in the bed beside him, "Actually, they never even showed up yet.", she frowns. She wondered if something had happened to her parents.

"Really?" Nomti looked worried as well, "Shouldn't te chief of police be the first person on scene? It's been a few hours now..."

"Maybe something happened.", she sighs heavily.

Nomti pulled her down next to him and held her close, "I'm sure everything's alright."

She layed her head against his shoulder, "Yeah, I'm sure that's it", she smiles, hoping he was right. She eventually fell asleep in his arms, tired and overwhelmed.

Nomti blushed a bit as she fell asleep and held her closer, resting his chin between her ears and he fell asleep too.

Nikita woke up the next morning to her mom banging on the door. "Come in." she says sleepily. She comes running in. Nikita's mom was exactly like Nikita. She had long legs and a bushy tail. She rushed over and began hugging her before she even had time to clamber out of the bed. "I have some bad news.", her mom says quietly.
