I Fell In Love With The Ready Set

Chapter 9: Eyes Wide Open

My eyes, red with sleep lose and regret, shot open. My heart was racing and i started to breath faster. My chest hurt and i felt myself start to cry. I was alone, in a room, with no hope of leaving any time soon. I should be dead, or the one still in a coma, not Jordan. Worse of all, I never said goodbye. And now I see what he really meant  to me, and how much he meant to me. But now I'm here, in this bed, without him. I whipped my eyes and pulled the heart monitors off my arm with my only good hand. I Slid out of my bed and ran out the door. It was late so nobody was out on watch. My bare feet ran across the cold floor to a room at the very end of the hall. The door had a sign with Jordan W. written on it. My hand trembled as I reached for the handle. I slowly opened the door and walked in. I saw Jordan, he was lying on the bed with a air mask on. He had a ton of monitors on him and was just there, not moving, just there. I fell to the floor crying and swearing. The darkness of the room surrounded me and i cried my eyes out. Some how i made my way over to his bed. He had marks on his face and blood in his hair. I ran my hand over his chest and cried a little more. His shirt was off and he had a brace over his chest. One part of his jeans was torn off and another cast was there. I climbed into the bed and laid next to him. I curled up and placed my arm over him. I started to cry again, but tried to stop myself. My eyes closed and my lips spoke the words I Love You.

It was about 1AM when i woke up to someone coughing. The only light was coming from the window, so it was hard to see. I felt someone run their fingers through my hair. My eyes wondered up to Jordan's face, he had a smile on, but closed eyes. I Smiled with wide eyes and hugged him. With tears in my eyes I said the words "Jordan, your alive!"

He smiled, "I am Scarlet, I am.", He pulled the air mask off his face. He looked around the room and all over his body, "But why are there a cast on my leg, and wrist, and a brace on my chest?" He looked at me with worried eyes. I Got out of the bed and turned on a dim light. He looked confused and worried while i walked back to him. 

"You broke your leg, foot, like all your ribs, and wrist.", I said to him with kind eyes, "But don't worry, I broke a few ribs too." I took my shirt off to reveal a brace on my chest, a small brace, but still a brace. I Put my shirt back on and said "I also broke my hand." He smiled and pulled me close to him. I kissed him and crawled back in the bed. He kissed the top of my head and said "I love you." I pressed myself close to him and replied "I hope so, 'cause i never want to see you half dead ever again." He smiled and shut his eyes. I looked out the window and smiled. Thank you God, thank you for giving me one last shot with Jordan.
