Want

Chapter 14

Kian was so proud of her, it was an interesting concept instead of them having sex when times got difficult. He watched her through the window as she worked with the physiotherapist on trying to regain the strength in her leg, it was amazing to see her determination before the sad realisation set in that they were no longer a thing. All Kian wanted to do was be there to support her but what else could he do, they had made it clear that they shouldn't be in the vicinity of each other and he had to respect those boundaries. He wished it was different, she probably did as well but they had to do this otherwise the whole situation would be compromised and they would become another toxic analogy. Sacha came out of the room with a disapproving look before going to grab discharge papers, surely they couldn't be seriously thinking about letting Jac go home, she could barely walk and she was bound to a wheelchair.

"What's all this?"

"I'm going home," Jac says as she wheels herself over to them both, she grabs the pen and signs the discharge forms "Sacha's going to move in with me until my stitches heal fully, no point in taking up bed space"

"As long as you aren't pushing yourself" Kian smiles and Jac rolls her eyes shoving the discharge papers into Sacha's hands

"Mummy!" Emma beams running over to her, Jac lifts her up and places her on her lap whilst Fletch huffs "Are you coming home?"

"Yeah, I am baby" Jac smiles kissing her on the head, she watches her daughter narrow her eyes at Kian "Right so what are we waiting for?"

"Take care" Kian nods with a small smile, Jac offers him one back, it was simple yet it was a caring gesture and considering this was probably the most they had spoken to each other after they argued, at least they were keeping it civil...

-CS-

As soon as Jac got home she was irritated by Sacha's fussing, it was overwhelming and in a way, she wished Kian was here, no, she wasn't going to go back there, no way. After everything that happened between them, it wasn't a healthy relationship, it was based on lies and she hated every single thought of it, she also hated the fact that she could never sleep in his arms, have sex with him and it caused this ache in her heart and in her mind. Jac was trying her best to make herself a coffee, she got merely frustrated at how she couldn't do the simplest of tasks in her own house and it made her angry. Her hand knocked the ceramic mug down onto the floor, she hissed as it smashed and she grumbles numerous amount of curse words under her breath before attempting to clean it all up. Sacha had gone home to pack and Emma was settled with her toys upstairs so it was all peaceful in her environment right now. Reaching out she tried to grab the last shard of the mug and groaned as her whole body flopped forward, she bashed her fist down on the floor in annoyance and huffed.

"Emma!" Jac calls and Emma runs into the room, she frowns trying to locate her mother "On the floor, by the sink, be careful there are shards of mug on the floor"

"Why are you on the floor?" Emma giggles animatedly, Jac rolls her eyes and smiles at her daughter

"Find me my phone, can you do that?" Jac questions and Emma skips off to find her phone, she returns with it and passes it to Jac who tries Sacha's number but no answer

"Mummy" Emma pouts her lips and points to her leg where there was blood seeping through her trousers and on the floor

"Ok, ok" Jac groans in annoyance at her stitches coming loose, she calls Kian and he answers straight away, she was definitely regretting going home before her actual discharge now "Kian, please, you need to help me"

"Jac, slow down, where are you?"

"On the floor" she states and Kian sighs down the phone "I fell and I can't get hold of Sacha, the rest of my stitches...they've opened and I don't want to go back into hospital-"
