Kennedy finally pulled herself together, enough to wash her hair, condition, wash herself and get out. She wrapped a fluffy white towel around herself, and stood infront of the mirror, running a brush through her long hair. She flipped her head over, running her hands through her hair and scrunching her hair into loose little waves.
She skipped makeup,seeing as it was so late and she would be sleeping very soon, and brushed her teeth. It felt like she was just going through the motions of life, emotionlessly. Alive but barely breathing.
She was taking this way harder than she was supposed too. Normally by now she should have bounced back.
Sighing, she rubbed some chapstick on, and pulled on a pair of fleece grey Nike sweats and a fitted white hoodie, picking up her pillow and favorite blanket she ventured back out into the snow.
Kennedy avoided making eye contact with any of the staff, she stood outside of Ryan's room, taking a deep breath and putting her best smile on.
"Your most favorite rooommate ever is here to save the day!" She exclaimed, keeping her eyes only on Ryan, too scared to see Kodi.

Ryan wasn't very appreciative of Kodi's sudden moody attitude. Once again, he was lost as to what was going on. Why did people have to be so complicated all of the time? Then again, part of him was glad. Like he had told Reba, maybe it was better for the poor crippled kid to stay out of all this crazy drama. Where did it all come from anyways? It just came out of nowhere. He had spent the time while Kennedy was gone attempting to 'rest'. Not that he felt tired, but Kodi and Reba were both being weird again and so he was just going to try and ignore it all. He was relieved when Kennedy finally returned and his hazel eyes lit up as he glanced over at her. "Oh you've come to rescue me from boredom?" he asked her with a grin. "It's about time," he said.

Kennedy smiled weakly, setting her pillow and blanket down and walking over to Ryan, "I'm all yours!" she said, glad that at least someone was happy to see her. She sat down at the edge of his bed, allowing herself one glance towards Kodi, who seemed to not even acknowledge her presence.
Pretending to be happy was going to be hard, but with Ryan's chipper attitude, it may be easier than she expected.
"So, about these nurses?" She asked, "Aren't they getting tired of you hitting on them?"

Ryan chuckled at her comment, shooting her a wink. Kodi remained silent, which he found to be odd. He was having more and more ideas as to what happened earlier. Still, he wasn't in the mood to deal with his bad mood so he was hoping he would just go to bed soon. Maybe some sleep would do his friend some good. Looking away from Kodi, he sat up, smiling at Kennedy's comment about the nurses. "No I think they like it. I mean, who wouldn't want some of this?" he asked, gesturing to himself, only half-jokingly. "I asked them to kiss it better, because kisses from beautiful women are the best cure for a broken leg but...as you can see it's still broken," he said with a sigh. "Maybe you should try fixing it?" he suggested teasingly. Not that he would be opposed if she did want to try but...he was mostly joking around.

Kennedy's cheeks flushed, "Maybe later." She winked, turning her back completely so that she was just facing Ryan now. She couldn't help but laugh at Ryan's comments. "Please tell me, you did not ask the nurses to kiss you?" she smacked her palm to her forehead, "You know those are grown women with husbands, right?" Kennedy couldn't help but start to feel mildly better. The sting of Kodi's rejection still lingered, but as long as he was ignoring her, she would ignore him.
Looking past Ryan to the falling snow outside, she let herself smile.

"Maybe later," Ryan repeated, smirking at the pink that briefly colored her cheeks. "Well, maybe not directly but...I implied it. I'm sure they aren't all married. A couple of them are pretty young. I bet I'm their favorite patient," he said, nodding his head in support of the statement. "I mean I do have a certain talent of charming people I guess," he said, shrugging. He followed her gaze out the window, staring absentmindedly at the falling snow. Without even really thinking, he just started randomly singing:
"Girl look at that body
I work out
Girl look at that body
I work out.
When I walk in the spot, this is what I see
Everybody stops and they staring at me
I got passion in my pants and I ain't afraid to show it.
I'm sexy and I know it"

Kennedy burst into laughter, "Really? Kid. You are going to be the death of me.." She smiled, looking at him, she silently reminded herself to thank him later. Ryan had no clue that he was really helping her out right now.
"So.." She looked around the room, "What kind of trouble can we get into here?" She asked, curiously. It was still pretty early on in the evening, no time for sleep. Kodi was still in the room,silent as ever. It was really weird to her. She almost couldn't wait for him to be gone so she could spill everything to Ryan.
"I have some stories for you too! But for later!"She promised, smiling still.

"Hey, I'm just expressing the truth. Nothing wrong with that," Ryan retorted, crossing his arms and looking away from her stubbornly. Of course, the second she mentioned getting into trouble, the grin was back on his face and he was excited as ever. "Oh I'm sure we can find something! You could go steal some wheelchairs and we can race! Aw that'd be so fun! Or...well, trust me, I can think of something," he promised her. As she told him she had stories to tell him, he raised an eyebrow, tilting his head curiously. "Really now? That's exciting. It'll be like an epic bedtime story. Can we get cookies?" he asked. He could be so childish at times.

Kennedy's eyes lit up, "Wheelchair races. As soon as the nurses go away." She promised, "And yes we can have cookies and milk,and I'll tuck you in and tell you a very exciting bed time story." She rolled her eyes, "Well.Not exciting." She tossed in, for dramatic effect.
"Anyway.." She tried to change the subject, "How long until you are out of here and at least on crutches?" She asked, acting like he didn't break his leg today.
She let her eyes wander the room, looking at the small chair she'd most likely be sleeping in. That didn't look very fun, but it was worth it. Ryan made her feel happy for the moment,and she was afraid of what she'd feel if she were to be alone.

"Yesssss!" Ryan said, fist pumping the air. "I should break my leg more often. Actually, not really. I like basketball too much," he said with a grin. He was feeling in a much better mood than he had all day. It was nice. "Um...tomorrow I think. I hope. If I have to stay cooped up in here much longer, I'm going to die. Not to mention you guys need to get out of here and go have some fun. Don't be miserable on my part...ah, even though I just, you know, broke my leg. No big deal," he laughed. "Did I mention that my leg is broken and I'm in immense pain?" he asked, fighting back a grin.

"I think this trip is over for me anyways.." Kennedy said a little quieter, a sadness edging in her voice, "So I don't mind staying up here with you for a while." She offered him a smile, "We can find you a wheel chair,and I can wheel you around,and accidently dump you out of it at times." She laughed, picturing herself wheeling Ryan around,and then "accidently" making him crash into things.
When Ryan made the comment, bringing everything back to his leg, she doubled over in laugher. Mostly it was a show, Kennedy was trying to show Kodi that he didn't hurt her as badly as he hoped he did.
"You poor thing," She choked out, "You're going to milk this forever?"

Kodi couldn't believe all of this was happening right in plain view. Kennedy had arrived all cheery as if nothing ever happened, and then blatantly proceeded to indirectly anger him as she and Ryan started to flirt with him sitting in the back ground. He was raging inside, thinking why in the world she would do this in front of him. He had made the effort to pull her aside and tell her, and here she was trying to get back at him by stabbing him in plain view.
"I have some stories for you too! But for later!"
I fucking bet you do. he hissed in his thoughts, wishing he had said that out loud and just walk out of the room. However, it was no way to treat a friend, especially with all his close ones nearby. He couldn't burst like that. It was none of their faults that he was so conflicted. However, with the way Kennedy was acting, he doubted she had the same morals as him.
Instead he kept quiet about his feelings and played along with the scene, and headed over the foot of the bed and grabbed the marker and started with the design he had in mind for Ryan's cast. Drawing the 'tattoo' might have at least made him feel better, and in all truth; despite how much he was not liking the tension between him and Kennedy, he had to admit all of their ideas sounded like fun. With that he gave a half smile and finally spoke. "Do you need help finding wheelchairs?' he asked, glancing up to the two of them for a brief moment before bringing his focus back to the cast as he continued to draw. It was worth trying to help out at least.

"Until my leg isn't broken anymore," Ryan told Kennedy with a grin. It took him a moment to realize Kodi was over drawing on his leg. "Oh hey you better draw something awesome. A dragon is hard to beat. Makes me feel like Bruce Lee," he said to Kodi, letting out a laugh. He was just trying to lighten the mood a little, since Kodi seemed to be in a bad one. When he offered to help find wheelchairs, Ryan's eyes widened slightly. Was Kodi bipolar? "Um, well ask Ken. Obviously I'm not going on any wheelchair hunts," he said with a shrug, casting a glance over at Kennedy.

Kennedy had to struggle to keep her jaw from dropping open at the sound of Kodi's voice.
His voice was smooth, soft, and she could hear the hurt dripping off of the words. It made her chest hurt, and she almost wanted to clutch it to keep everything inside.
She let out a long breath, and met Ryan's eyes, before she could even think about replying to Kodi.
When things went wrong, Ken always wanted to just escape. Run home. Pretend nothing bad ever happened,and climb into her bed and sleep forever. But this was impossible here.
"Maybe when the nurses are on break we can steal some..."She said, looking over at Kodi, she watched as he intently drew on Ryan's cast.

Kodi chuckled lightly at Ryan's comment and continued to draw as he spoke. "I think you'll like it. By the time I'm done, you'll feel just as Hawaiian as I am." he replied with a grin.
He noticed instantly how sudden Ryan's voice seemed to have dropped with Kennedy replying in a similar tone. He almost wanted to question why, but he realized that he hadn't spoken since Kennedy had entered the room, and they were quite shocked to have finally hear his voice that was the least bit hostile and more so trying to make amends. In a way, he was kind of happy with the response, knowing he had gotten their attention with the little effort he made. Now he would just have to wait and see how they would continue on seeing him in a better mood. "All right, sounds good." he simply smiled, and returned to his drawing.
