I hoped the surgery worked 'cos I don't want to be in this bed for good, I picked up my phone when it chimed and looked at the post Hawk posted and chuckled a little kind of missing karate now

And I set the phone back down onto the tray and sighed a little sad and laid back down looked at the ceiling

Nurse: Hey, what's wrong? Can I turn on the TV for you or get you another pillow?

Jack: What if my surgery didn't work? What if I can never walk again?

Nurse: Sweetie, you can't think like that... I know what'll make you feel better though. A big piece of chocolate cake. How's that sound, huh?

I forced a smile and nodded

Jack: Sure

Nurse: Be right back

She left and I just stared at the ceiling before sighing and decided to try and call Tory again even though she won't answer my calls or any of my texts

Outside the room Johnny stood talking on the telephone at the reception's table

Johnny: I know. I'm sorry, Bobby. I screwed up. Just tell Robby I'll make things right. Ok, fine. I'll tell him myself. I gotta go, Bob. Bye.

He hung up just as the nurse walked out of Jack's room and walked over to her

Johnny: Hey, excuse me.

The nurse turned around

Johnny: How'd the surgery for Jackson Lawrence? Is he OK?

Nurse: He's awake. A little out of it, but healing.

Johnny: Good. So, he can walk again?

Nurse: It doesn't walk like that. Time will tell how successful the surgery was, but... I can take you in if you'd like to. I'm sure he'd love to see you.

Johnny looked at the room for a moment before turning back to the nurse

Johnny: No, he needs to rest.

He walked to the elevator and got in

Johnny picked up a tray and a plate and looked at Robby

Johnny: Hey, Robby.

Robby looked at him surprised to see him here

Robby: You're not supposed to be here.

Johnny: It's the only way I could see you. Found out you were doing community service to try and get out early. That's good. I respect that.

Robby looked down and Johnny looked at his black eye

Johnny: Is that a black eye? Are you fighting in there after everything that's happened?
