17 Canst Win Them All (1/2)

Olivia went racing through the halls till she made it to the infirmary.”Autumn!”She yelled as she opened the door.To her surprise it was Rodan sitting on a chair applying anti-inflammatory spray on Autumns forearm and hand while Blair had a warm cloth on top of Autumn's head.

”How bad is it?”she asked as she closed the door behind her.Rodan looked up and pushed his glasses back onto his face with his index finger.”She will be fine, I'm gonna wrap her arm and hand up so the medication can absorb into her skin properly and not get on anything else.” he said in the most saddest of tones.

Olivia made a double take at Rodan, his gold and green eyes were trembling from hurt and she couldn't help wonder why but as far as she could tell Rodan was on the very verge of tears.Blair removed the towel from Autumn's head once the warmth was gone and placed it in the laundry hamper as Rodan fastened the wrap on Autumns hand.

Blair walked over to Olivia and filled her in on the details about the information they learned from Rodan.It seemed that River was Rodan's cousin and she would sometimes go over to Eli's house when Rodan was over there playing.That all the boys had been together since elementary and have been inseparable.”I am so sorry that this happened to you Autumn.I know she has a temper and is really protective of Eli but to do this is...” Rodan looked at Autumn through his ash brown, layered mop top hair”..andto you as well Olivia.”.

He brought Autumns fingers to the side of his cheek and lightly kissed the bottom of her palm.Olivia and Blair clutched at each other, they were holding their breathes as the watched the intimate scene.Autumn looked into his tear brimmed eyes and stared to caress his cheek with the tips of her fingers, while Rodan kept her hand in place on his face.”It's ok I'm not that hurt.” she said in a shaky voice as big tears started to roll down her cheeks.

Rodan let go of the Autumns hand, he brought his hands around her tiny round face, his fingers went into her hair while his palms positioned themselves at the edge of her face.He started to brush her tears away with his thumbs as he locked eyes with her.

He looked at her face anxiously and said ”Please don't cry, it was treated right away so it won't leave a scar.”Autumn let more tears roll out of her eyes, the top of her cheeks started to turn pink and her lips were pouted and trembling.

Rodan took one long look at her and could no longer stop himself as he stole her lips.Autumn's tears stopped and her eyes were wide.She was shocked by the sensation and had no idea what was going on.As Rodan started to pull back and their lips were no longer touching, his glazed eyes look at her, his smile was alluring and he flashed her two small dimples while he said ”If it even leaves the tiniest of scars I will marry you.”

Autumn's jaw dropped and she turned bright red.Rodan gave a small chuckle and wrapped his arms around her tiny body bring her close.He gently kissed the red mark on the top of her forehead and said ”Even if it's a small scar hidden by you beautiful hair you will be my bride.”

Olivia and Blair couldn't stop themselves and started to squeal, breaking the enchantment Rodan had created..Rodan dropped his arms and turn bright red as he adjusted his glasses.Autumn turned away from him as she placed her hands on her cheeks, how did she forget that they were there?!

Rodan tried to compose himself by tidying up the bandage wraps ”So Rodan”Blair said teasingly as she bounced on the tips of her toes making her way towards him ”What happens if she doesn't get a scar?Will you confess instead?”Rodan fumbled the nicely rolled bandage wrap and tried to catch it.With no luck it fell to the ground along with anti-inflammatory spray.Blair giggled and leaned close to whisper in his ear ”She would probably faint from happiness if you did.”

Rodan blushed a deeper red as he stole a glanced towards Autumn.Olivia was fanning her face and all he could see was her beautiful fluffy chocolate hair.He looked back at Blair and she gave him a quick wink before herding her friends out the door.

.....

Olivia was laying on her bed, hugging her pillow, she was so happy for her friend for being proposed to... well kinda proposed to there was a condition but she at least she witnessed such a cute scene!Thinking back on it Olivia couldn't help but smile and scream gleefully into her pillow.

Blair and Olivia tried to get her to talk about her feelings but Autumn was to shocked to even speak, she just blushed the whole time till their rides came to pick them up from the school.This was a side of her she never knew existed.It was adorable!

Olivia started to calm down and felt horrible that her friend had gotten hurt in the first place because of her.She didn't know what to do.Did Eli really want her to stay away, was that the reason she hadn't seen him all day and what in the world was River talking about Eli being her lover?Would he have really kissed her if he was already taken but she never asked if he had a girlfriend and why would she!It was none of her business.
