TWO WEEKS WENT by quicker than they had expected. Each family member took turns staying in the hospital while the rest buried themself in work. It was horrible to wait and not know what the outcome would be. So every opportunity to distract themselves was taken. However, maybe you can't call what JL was doing 'work'. Nowadays his life consisted of avoiding the paparazzi, each second, of every single day. They have been following his footsteps since he got back home, and wouldn't leave him alone until they get their answers. Everyone want answers from him, both about his fathers conditions, but also about his absence, career, and relationships.
Paul hasn't woken up yet and it was taking a toll on them all. Managing life and going through their day was harder than usual as, in the back of their minds, all they could picture was their father with bruised skin and tubes shoved down his throat. At first the male hadn't been able to breath on his own, and the picture of him lying their, life hanging by a threat, was carved into JL's brain for eternity.
Today it was his turn to stay with his dad. Selena had an important interview, and Leighton and Danielle were out of town due to work. JL absolutely dreaded going back there. To the hospital, to his hospital room, where he would see the older man fighting for his life. He'd avoided the place ever since that night. Even when he'd promised to be there he found himself backing out last minute, explaining something else had come up. Everyone knew he was lying, or booked himself up because he didn't bear to face reality. However, this time, he had to go. Even though he didn't want to, he couldn't leave his dad there by himself in case he woke up. Anyone would be scared when waking up in a hospital room, connected to all different types of tubes, regaining consciousness and looking around wildly — only to find themselves alone.
That's one of the things JL was scared of. One of the things he has nightmares about. And he couldn't let his dad face that alone by leaving him to himself.
He'd woken up quite early to prepare himself. But that seemed to backfire as he dreaded the meeting even more than before. To calm back down, he ordered room service, his favorite breakfast, before getting ready to leave for the hospital.
JL had been offered to stay at both his sisters homes and his parents, but he'd declined them both. It wasn't that he didn't want to spend time with them, nor because he liked hotels and being served up to. The truth was; he needed time for himself. He needed a breather and a place where he could unwind without his family's constant nagging. Other than that, he didn't want to invade their privacy.
The only downside with staying at the hotel was you were easily recognized. It extremely difficult to go outside the four walls and not have a camera shoved straight in his face. He would happily take pictures with fans, but he don't vibe with people infiltrating his privacy, especially not when it comes to different relationships. JL have to hold himself back when they question his father, not the innocent 'how is he', but the kind of questions where information could be bought.
