Part 1: The Moze and Ned issue:

"This place is so borrinnnggg" Ned sighed as he fell back into bed. He was temporarily alone in his room as Suzie was in counseling for a few hours. It had only been a few days, but Ned was already sick of the hospital. "Why is everything white in this place?" he questioned. Ned still could not get out of bed due to the wounds in his legs, so suffice to say he was getting antsy to leave the hospital.

"Because if it wasn't, a hospital wouldn't be so dreary" Moze answered walking into the room.

"GAH!" Ned shouted as he sprung out of bed "Don't sneak up on me like that"

Moze rolls her eyes and walk towards Ned "Fine, I'll try not to next time" She sits down on his bed, causing Ned to sit up to make room. "So how are you feeling today?"

"Better, I suppose. What about you?"

"Same…..i'm just confused"

"About what?"

"Ned, don't play dumb. You know exactly what I mean"

Ned took a deep breath, "Yeah I know…."

Moze picked up Ned's head so their eyes met. "Ned" she said "I need to know. You can't do this to me. You can't put me in this pain for nothing".

Ned turned his head away to face the window, "Why do you have to ask me this now? Haven't I been through enough already?"

"Ned, we all went through the same ordeal. We were all in that room with him and we all almost died"

"Oh really? Which one of us is in the hospital? Which one of us does not know if they will ever be able to walk again?"

"Ned…..please don't….."

"Don't what Moze? Point out the truth? "

"YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING! WHICH ONE OF US KILLED SOMEONE IN THAT ROOM!" Moze said quite loudly, she then mumbled "I need to leave"

"Wait….Moze…." Ned said weakly, but it was too late, she was already gone. He just fell back into his bed and attempted to have the embrace of sleep take over his body, washing away his troubles.

Part 2: Cookie and Seth

It had only been a few days since Lisa's death, but Cookie seemed rather well composed. At least on the outside that is, the inside is a whole different story. He was doing what he did pretty much any other day: sit at his computer and look up the newest info on anything he happened to be interested in. On the inside though, he could care less about that crap. All he thought about was Lisa and how he let her die. "I could have stopped her" he thought "and we could be together for Christmas still" He glanced over to the gifts he had purchased for her: a diamond heart pendant, Riot! By Paramore, and the book Revolutionary Road.

Suddenly his phone vibrated, shocking the young man upon feeling it in his pocket. "Damn high powered vibrators" he thought. Cookie opened the phone to see he had a text from Seth.

"Hey man, just wondering if you maybe wanted to hang out or something. Haven't seen you in awhile…"

Cookie replied back "Sure, I'll be by your house in a little bit then" He closed his phone and got up to go over to his closet. Pulling out a jacket and a hat to brave the cold in, he trudged down the stairs of his house. "Be back later" he called out to no one in particular and walked out the door.

Seth was sitting down at his kitchen table, drinking a cup of coffee. His parents were out on a mini-vacation and he basically had the house to himself. However, it was for nothing as no one was in a mood to hang out or party. He really hasn't seen anyone since the shooting. He went to Lisa and Martin's funerals, and saw his classmates, but since then he only saw Ned and Suzie when he visited them at the hospital. However he needed to get something off of his chest. That was to tell Cookie what he really thought of him. "I'll just come right out and say it to him" he thought, "It will most likely be disastrous, but I need to do it."

Seth sprang from his chair as he heard the doorbell ring. "Coming" he yelled out as he walked towards the door. "Hey man" Cookie said when Seth opened the door "good to see you". "Thanks for coming over" Seth said. "So what's up?" Cookie asked

"Oh, nothing really, I just have something to tell you"

"Um, alright, what is it?"

Seth took a deep breath and looked Cookie right in the eyes, "I think I may love you"

Cookie stared at him wide-eyed and jaw wide open for a few seconds before calming down. "Well, this is kind of awkward" he said, letting about a little bit of a laugh. "It's ok to tell me what you really feel" Seth said "I braced myself for the consequences of me saying that"

"To be honest Seth, I'm actually flattered that you think I'm that good of a person to actually love." he replied "But you know that I'm not gay, my heart may have been ripped right out, but I'm gonna get on with my life…..that is what Lisa would want me to do."

"It's ok" Seth said, "I hope we can still be friends though" Cookie looked right at him, "You kidding me? Of course we can be, I would never let who you are come in between a friendship" A smile appeared on Seth's lips, "Thanks man" he said "How about we play some Rock Band now?"

"God, I thought you would never ask!" Cookie said with a laugh as the two walked into the living room.

Part 3: Tis the Season….

"Thank god this is my last day" Ned said, showing some signs of enthusiasm. Suzie glared over at him from the other bed, "Oh yeah, go ahead, rub it in some more, you jerk" she said with a chuckle. "Good idea…..I'm going home today" Ned replied back with a smile.

Suzie stared at him, "Wow a smile, it's been awhile since I have seen that from you. I almost forgot how good it was" Ned blushed at the statement, "Thanks Suzie" he said sincerely. The two locked eyes and sort of became entranced in their gazes. Suzie snapped out of it first, "So what is going on with you and Jennifer?"

"Nothing really I guess" he replied back, looking out the window "I don't know if I see Jennifer in that way yet". "I can see that" Suzie said back "You two have been friends your whole lives, it's hard to take it to the next level I suppose"

The two locked eyes once again after her statement. This time it was Ned who broke it up by getting his cane and standing up. He hobbled his way over to Suzie's bed. "You should give me a going away present" he said with a hint of mischief in his voice. "What do you mean by that?" she replied staring into his deep, blue eyes.

It was at that moment that Suzie Crabgrass and Ned Bigby hooked up in a hospital room. While they were both being treated for life threatening injures. It was those human urges taking over.

As Suzie began to fix her hair, Ned hobbled back over to his bed. "Who knew you still felt something" she said with a smile "However I think a relationship may not be the best option right now" Ned shook his head, "I agree, I don't want to hurt Moze any more than I already have"

"You are a good friend" Suzie said, "Don't forget that"

"Ned Bigby!" a nurse yelled, causing the young man the jump. "You are good to go" she said. "Oh, thanks" he said, getting up to retrieve his clothes. "Hopefully cya soon" he called out to Suzie as he was leaving. Ned's parents were right outside, waiting to drive him home.

A couple of hours later……

It was technically Christmas now, as it was 12:36 AM. Most people were in bed, but not Ned Bigby. For that matter, Ned was just getting ready to go out. In his hand he held a bag with some gifts in them. He grabbed his cane and made his way out the door. The first stop was the Mozely Household. He opened his bag and pulled out a small square box and left it on the front steps. Included was a card:

Moze, I cannot fully express to you how sorry I'am for all the shit I dragged you through. I love you, but I don't want to risk our friendship over having a relationship. I'm truly sorry, I wish I could be better for you. Signed, Ned

Ned went around to Cookie, Seth, Loomer, and Missy's houses, leaving small gifts and cards. He also made a stop at the Crabgrass household. The last place to go was the cemetery. He carried with him two things of roses. He stopped at Martin's grave first, laying the flowers down in front of the tombstone.

As he made his way to Lisa's grave he noticed a figure already there. Cookie was dropping off another thing of flowers on the grave and was slightly startled by Ned's appearance. "Jesus man" he said as he noticed Ned "Don't come at me all Ebeneezer Scrooge like"

Ned chuckled, "Sorry man, figured no one else would be out at this time. Just wanted to drop something off cause I had to miss the funeral." Cookie smiled at him, "Thanks man, that really means a lot"

Ned laid down the flowers, but there was something else included with them. A picture it appeared to be. It was a picture of him, Lisa, Cookie, and Moze from their 8th grade graduation. A note was written on the back:

Ned, you are truly one of a kind and I will miss seeing you everyday in Science with Sweeney. With love, Lisa

Ned and Cookie began to make their ways back home as it began to snow again. The picture would soon be gone and forgotten, but the memories of that day and Lisa Zemo will never be forgotten.

Jeez talk about a wait, haha. Sooooo sorry for the massive wait. I have had way too much to do these past months. I kept pushing this off, but a recent review made me get on my ass and finish it.

I came down with a severe case of writers block while doing this, but it has appeared to unjam. I hope to begin work on the next story whenever I find the chance.

Thanks for waiting!
