Not Your Typical Romance | Jay Walker

chapter fourteen

3rd person pov

"we have news, i think you're going to want to sit down for this.." the doctor begins as look of worry on ed and edna's face appears.

"w-what? what's wrong with him?" edna asks, her voice shakey.

"your son, jay, is in surgery for a brain injury. many people have survived this, but we've also lost quite a bunch with this type of surgery. it's a 13% survival rate, but there is 87% chance that it will not work. he could possibly lose the ability to speak, there is many possibilities that it will not work, but we are doing everything we can on your son, we promise." the doctor explains to jay's parents.

"oh no, oh my-my jay! he might not survive!" edna cries into the chest of ed.

"you better do everything you can." ed glares at the doctor in front of them.

"yes sir, of course." she nods before walking away.

"oh my jay!" edna shouts, while ed is caressing her head.

"shh, i know it's gonna be okay hun." ed rocks edna his arms.

(y/n)'s pov

i look over at ed and edna, the news didnt look so great, seeing how much edna is crying. i want to go over there, ask how his condition is, but it seems like i already have my answers.

its been hours since ive been here, ive lost track of time just waiting to be able to sit with him.

im laying down in the waiting room on a chair, almost falling asleep, except i couldn't. this wouldn't have happened if i wasnt asleep this morning when he left for work.

"hey," kai whispers and shakes me a little, causing me to left my head up.

"hm? is he awake?" i ask quickly, and kai let's out a sigh.

"no, but you should go home, get some sleep." kai whispers again, and i shake my head.

"no, not until i can see him." i lay my head back down and kai sits down next to me and rubs my back.

"kai," i call out, looking over at the couple who is sitting across from us.

"hm?" he asks and his eyes drift to where im looking at.

"why are they still here?"

"we're ninja (y/n), we always look out for each other." kai answers simply.

"do you even know what your sister did?" i ask him, still looking the two.

"yes (y/n), i do.." kai sighs, "and im not proud of her for it. y'know, you're right though, they shouldn't be here, but they are. i guess the 'support' counts." he adds.

i see the doctors walk out towards ed and edna, i quickly get up and see ed and edna get up as well.

edna looks at me and motions for me to come over, i probably shouldn't but maybe she needs the support.

i look at kai, who looks at me, and nods at me. i walk over to edna and grab her hand, and we both squeeze each other's waiting for the doctor to explain the good or bad news.

edna and i are pretty close, we always hung out while jay and ed did their work outside. just remembering those times where we would just watch them struggle.

now i have to get back to reality though..find out if jay's okay.

"the surgery has been successful, but we need to check a few things as soon as he wakes up, but you guys can go on and see him." the doctor gives a slight smile and leads us to jay's room. "ill leave you guys in here alone with him." the doctor walks out, leaving the four of us.

i let ed and edna so there thing with him because they are his parents, im just the best friend.

they finally finished and let me have the room to myself with him, i take seat and look at his condition.

he had white wrapping around his head, i grab his hand and tears begin to fill my eyes.

i love him.

"i really hope you wake up soon, i fucking need you jay. i never thought of myself as the person that would basically be talking to myself, but here i am." i chuckle slightly and begin to cry, "it took me this long to realize, god damn, i really hate you."

"ohhh my god, ive never been this crazy about anyone jay. but you- no you make me crazy about you." i sigh and wipe the little tears i had coming out. i continue squeezing his hand and lay my head on the bed.

"mmm," i hear and quickly lift up my head to look at him. his eyes were slowly open and closing, "mmph,"

"jay?" what worries me is he isn't saying actual words.

i quickly get up and call a doctor in here, ed and edna come rushing into the room as well.

"can you hear me? what is your name?" the doctor asks.

"mmph, eiee." the noises that came out weren't what any of us wanted to hear, "j-jay." he says very weakly.

one hand goes on my mouth and the other squeezes his hand, he squeezes back weakly.

"that's a good sign," the doctor smiles, which makes everyone smile as well.

jay's eye shift over to mine, "g-give us a minute, please?" jay asks weakly.

everyone nods and edna walks over to jay and kisses him on the cheek before leaving.

"jay, i have been waiting here since this morning. you scared me!" I shout slightly, but not to loud.

"aww, someone cares," jay smiles slightly. "you know, i heard everything you said."

"wait what?" my heart drops.

"yup, 'oh my god, I'm so crazy about you'" jay mimics and laughs.

"jay!" I hit him lightly, "that's not funny." i cross my arms and look away from him.

"it was a little bit," he chuckles, "so, did you really mean it though?" he asks looking me in the eye.

i look at him for a little, "pfft, of course not! are you crazy?" I laugh a little bit. although everything i said was true.

"oh," he says, "of course," he smiles, but i couldn't tell if it was genuine or not.

we look at each other in the eyes for a little bit before i break the eye contact, "uh, you should let the others see that you're okay."

"oh, yeah, no of course."
