Time can’t heal all wounds…
Everything seemed nice and calm, surprisingly so since she sped up to the door of the institute and dumped an unconscious form on their doorstep, but the rather beastly doctor, who actually went by the nickname ‘Beast’ much to her dismay, seemed to calmly carry Riley up to this place and lay him on the bed.. That was almost 20 minutes ago and he hasn’t woken up, but Beast had him healing fast while he lay there so the doctor wasn’t going to hurry and wake him since most likely Riley would insist he is ok and limp off to his room. The bed covers where folded neatly down to his waist, the large dark bruise in his right side easily seen though it looked much better then when they first saw it, at least the broken ribs had started to heal. It was actually rather boring, sitting here like this, but at least she had Riley’s upper body to keep her amused, even though it would look better without the large bruise and scratches. His breathing was returning to normal so his chest would rise and fall softly and one had to assume he was dreaming because his muscles would tense up every now and then. Crossing her long slender legs, the 21 year old woman flicked some of her hair that sat neatly on her shoulder to her back, he low cut top revealing the matching white and light blue cross she wore around her neck that was similar in design to the slender belt about her waist. Sitting back, resting her hands delicately on her thighs, her perfect white teeth giving an even more beautiful smile with her ruby red lips as the Doctor handed her a coffee to drink, her dark eyes lighting up even though in truth she was appearing more delighted then she felt, the perfect acting skills that made her well loved and equally loathed by many.
The young woman was indeed a charmer and none would assume she was single, but when you’re so perfect sometimes finding someone who’s as perfect as you can be almost impossible.. Her eyes lingered on Riley a little longer as a faint smile crept onto her lips while she took a small sip of her plain tasting coffee.. almost impossible.. but not totally… Placing her mug down on the table beside Riley’s bed, she got up, her heels clicking lightly on the hard ground as she stepped towards the sleeping man, her eyes wondering over his resting form before coming to a stop at his tags.
“Don’t you ever wonder why they think you’re so special?” Her gentle and almost tenderly soft whisper passed through her delicate lips, her pretty eyes glancing down at his hand as her own hands took hold of his. Her long lashes curled perfectly at the tips, the word ‘no’ has very rarely been heard when men talk with her… with a faint smile, she let one of her hands slowly travel up his arm to his shoulder, then her fingers moved over towards his tags, twisting them slightly so she could read the names, allowing her hand to rest comfortably on his chest as she read the girls name, her other hand that was still holding his larger hand seemed to tighten its grip, her eyes looking up a moment later as the door opened…

ooc: Sighs - you do know you don't deserve this post don't you? ... after moving to Greece and depriving me of your posts for so long.... But I guess that I can post for you
Catherine wasn't very happy, she'd only just found out Riley was back at the school, as usual she seemed to be the last to find out about anything. As his girlfriend she should have been the first one to see him. The news that he was in the medical bay did nothing to comfort her either, he should have come with her, he'd have been safe if he'd have been with her.
She was dressed back in her green combats again, wearing a white t-shirt beneath a rather chunky green jumper, only a couple of shades darker than her combats. Her cat boots were back on her feet again, a complete contrast to the clothes Riley had seen her wearing in Washington. It was all her fault wasn't it, if she hadn't run off in the first place then he wouldn't have had to go after her and he would be lying in the medical bay at the moment.
The doors slid open in front of her as she stomped rather grumpily into the medical bay, her eyes lifting from the floor to look over towards the beds. She didn't like medical rooms, there were too many needles lying around for her liking.
Cat's eyes landed upon the figure of a woman half leant over Riley, reading the tags that lay upon her chest. If she could have bristled in anger she would have done, what was that woman doing with her hands on her boyfriend. She stomped right past Beast without even looking at him. Her eyes dropped down to Riley, her gaze moving over his chest, survaying his wounds. Her eyes flicked back to the woman who was sitting next to him ... in the place she.. Cat should have been occupying. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she let her eyes drift over the older womans perfect frame.
'Who are you?' Her words were very blunt and to the point... why was this extremley attractive woman hanging around Riley. She felt a flicker of fear run though her, maybe he'd met someone else? Maybe he'd been really upset by what had happened in her appartment ... it was true that they hadn't been together since then....
Cat: Do you think I should go back?
Nina: Cat.. he's only a man.
Cat: You don't understand...
Re: Time can’t heal all wounds…
It was hard not to be amused at the dressing style of the girl who just rather sloppily made her entrance into the medical room. Being a model made one rather picky about how everyone around them looks and right now this new girl in the room didn't compliment the very attractive womans style. The girl seemed interested in Riley's beaten up appearence, what would she have thought when half of his face was hidden in a stream of blood? When you're under the constent stares of others, whether it's because she's at a bar or nightclub or strolling down the catwalk, you get very used to others studying you up.
'Who are you?' A rather distasteful look hit her for a second before the woman put on a rather polite and sweet smile to cover up how insulted she felt at the rudeness of this girl.
"Montana, Miss Claire Montana, pleasure I'm sure.." There was a hint of sarcasme in her tone and deep down she had the urge to roll her eyes at the youngre girl. Her hand let Riley's tags fall from her fingers as she moved to once against take his hand with both of her well kept smaller ones. With another wondrous smile, Claire moved one hand over to his shoulder and let her fingers rest over the muscular form that still slept even through all this talking.
"I found him, he looked pretty beat up, didn't even seem to recognise me, but I decided to help him.. I guess I owed him the favor." Her eyes dropped down to his tags for a moment, but then a rather strained smile hit her lips, he had a girls name about his neck, was she the owner of that name..?
"And you must be Catherine I assume..?" Her voice was very kind and yet there was something that hinted she wasn't too pleased with the thought of Catherine's name about his neck.

Re: Time can’t heal all wounds…
She couldn't help suddenly feeling quite childish under the eyes of this new woman, she was even less pleased to hear the womans name was Claire ... could it be that Claire? his old girlfriend ... she felt a hiver of fear run through her, suddenly wanting to get Riley away from her, away from here. He'd be safe up in his room, or in her room and Claire couldn't find them there.
This new woman had to be made to understand that Riley wasn't hers anymore, he belonged to Cat now. She wondered for a second how Rily could ever have resisted sleeping with this woman. She'd often seen women, rather like Claire and Nina, women who seemed to be able to click their fingers and men would do anything for them.
"I found him, he looked pretty beat up, didn't even seem to recognise me, but I decided to help him.. I guess I owed him the favor." She was becoming more certain of who this woman was, but it wasn't like Riley was going to leave her for Claire .... was it?
"And you must be Catherine I assume..?" She nodded slightly, folding her arms defensivley at the girl, she didn't like the way Claire was looking her up and down.
'I'm Riley's girlfriend.' She felt the same rush of pride she'd felt when she'd told Jess about her boyfriend. There was something very determined in the tone of her voice, as if daring Claire to say anything different.
Cat: Do you think I should go back?
Nina: Cat.. he's only a man.
Cat: You don't understand...
Re: Time can’t heal all wounds…
There was a short pause where Claire cleared her throat as she noticed Catherines tone and rather rude and 'determined to be heard' attitude. What did this girl think, that Claire coudn't figure that out on her own?
"I figured." Was the only reply Claire could manage while trying hard to remain appearing rather polite, even if it was obvious she wasn't happy about this. Even if she wanted to add more to it she couldn't have because Riley seemed to wake up in a rather shocked state of panic as he sat up groaned from the pain of his bruised ribs. The first thing to register was that he was in a medical room, and his first reaction was to hastily wiggled free from his bed covers and get to his feet before anyone could hold him down or poke him with needles. The worst of luck for him had been getting off on Claires side, because seeing the unfamiliar face just worried him more about being taken back to the initiative.
"Riley?" Claires hand reached out for him but Riley ducked back and bumped into the bed as he avoided her, limping about the bed. But he stopped when he saw Catherine and took another chance to glance about and take more notice of where he was. Letting out a small sigh as he limped a little over towards Catherine, his eyes dropping down her body to make sure she wasn't hurt anywhere and then his arms eagerly wrapping about her. His heart was still racing at the worry of being captured but since he was here with Catherine it didn't matter any more, he was safe now.
"I know I told you to forget me, but honestly I didn't expect you to go and liturally forget me." Claire folded her arms rather idignantly, Riley turned his head about to stare at the woman. He frowned slightly as he tried to understand what she was on about..
"I remember you.. you had the car." Riley wasn't very fond of people bringing up the fact he can't remember things and that caused a rather annoyed tone in his voice that he didn't really mean to have there. Glancing down at his chest, staring at the large bruise for a minute he then shifted behind Catherine to hide himself, his eyes staring about for his shirt and leather jacket. Claire folded her arms and simply smiled as she stared at him, seeming to find it rather interesting that he couldn't remember her, but at the same time looking as if she wouldn't mind helping him remember her.
"I want to go lay down Catherine.." He grumbled almost like a sulking child, he was dizzy and his side hurt and he was tired and missed holding her. His head tucked down to hide on her back, he felt like he could sleep for days...
"We talk when you feel better, maybe have coffee, I know.. you don't like coffee, figure of speech I'll have the coffee, you talk." Riley shrugged a little but didn't say no or yes, only taking a small step back and giving Catherine a small tug back into him. He really wanted to get away from here and go somewhere that didn't have needles and drugs..

Re: Time can’t heal all wounds…
ooc: Oh and I got bord a week or so ago so I edited quite a few of our couples dorm post since they weren't very good
"I figured." Good because she wanted everyone to know, she wanted the whole world to be aware that Riley was hers and she was the only one who was allowed to be with him. She didn't like the way this woman was looking at Riley, didn't she understand Riley was hers and she was the only one who was allowed to look at him like that.
Her eyes watched as Riley seemed to stir, but he sat up straight away, looking around him with a kind of panic upon his features. She didn't get why he looked so upset for a moment but then she realised it was probably because he wasn't sure where he was. She was happy when he seemed to stumble away from Claire, at least he didn't seem fond of the girl ... but then could he even remember her.
"I know I told you to forget me, but honestly I didn't expect you to go and liturally forget me." She sounded ticked off as her eyes slid over Riley's form. Riley however didn't seem to notice, he'd caught sight of her, she watched him walk around the side of the bed, noticing the limp he'd got.
He seemed to stare down at her for a moment before he gathered her towards him as he hugged her. She let her head rest against his chest for a few moments before she turned her head slightly so she was peaking out from between her strands of golden brown hair, across at the girl.
"I remember you.. you had the car." Cat glanced back up at him again, she didn't want him to talk to her, she wanted to take him somewhere were there was only the two of them. She'd missed him so much and he'd only been gone such a short space of time. She wanted to introduce him to her new friend Jess, she just knew the two of them would get on. (this probably wouldn't be the case since Jess had already managed to get Cat into trouble for convincing her to go to Salem mall yesterday rather than her lessons)
"I want to go lay down Catherine.." She turned around slightly and slipped her hand into his larger one, and she wanted to get him away from Claire..
'Ok Riley.' She tilted her head to look up at him, suddenly blushing slightly and smiling sweetly. 'I've got something I want to show you.' She'd been so upset as to what had happened back at Nina and Brad's that she'd thought over his offer of them moving in together. She'd asked if they could get a room together, that way people wouldn't try and barge in on them, but she'd asked for them both to be able to keep their old rooms. There was always the chance that Riley might have changed his mind. She'd slept there last night even though she wasn't too comfortable with the size of the huge bed which jsut seemed to dwarf her. She'd put the statue of the horse Riley had carved her in there and at the moment there were only three dream catchers in the room. There was one on the back of the door, another above the bed and the last on was over the window. She didn't know what he thought about them, but she couldn't help but feel safer with them all up.
"We talk when you feel better, maybe have coffee, I know.. you don't like coffee, figure of speech I'll have the coffee, you talk." Cat ignored her, her eyes still looking up at Riley.
Cat: Do you think I should go back?
Nina: Cat.. he's only a man.
Cat: You don't understand...
Re: Time can’t heal all wounds…'Ok Riley.' There was a very pleased look about him when she stared up and smiled, it wasn't the kind of smile she had given him when she had worked him up, but it was still very nice to have her smiling at him like that..
'I've got something I want to show you.' There was a grin before he swayed back a little off balance and placed his hand on the side of his head, the cut was covered up now, his skin healed, but there was still pain as if he had a bruise there, even though one couldn't be seen. He was bare foot, and for some reason he coudn't find his clothes, he didn't know Beast had sent them to be cleaned, he woke up sooner then Beast had hoped and there wasn't enough time for his new clothes to be gathered and brought down. But Riley was so keen to get out of here he didn't care if he had to walk for 10 minutes half undressed. As they moved over to the door, Claire followed behind for a few steps, smiling sweetly as she called out.
"I'll catch you later Rye!" Placing her hands ehind her back and she flashed a warm smile, Riley called back but didn't really seem to pay much attention to what he had said at first.
"Try and catch me if you can." There was a slight hesitation as he stared back at her, Claire gave a rather proud grin but Riley frowned and hurried closer to Catherine as the doors closed, his hands slipped to take hold of one of hers as they walked.
