You Saved Me

Chapter 11

I wake up to see Jack staring down at me. I look up and say, “Morning sexy pants.” He just chuckles and moves so he can get up. “About time you woke up. I was scared that I might have to lick you awake.” He says stretching. “I wouldn't have minded that.” I say laughing. He laughs them takes my hand and says, “Come on. We're going to Starbucks for breakfast.” I nod and go grab my heels. “Shit!” I scream as I fall to the ground. Jack runs to me and helps me up. “Wh-What happened? Are you okay?” I get up and limp to the chair in the room next to the kitchen. “I don't know. I went to stand up in the heels and twisted my ankle. It hurts really bad.” I say choking back on tears. “You're going to the hospital.” He says grabbing his keys. “I'll be back. Gonna go get the car ready, then you and I are going to the hospital. Give Lex a call so he won't worry.” I nod and pull out my phone as Jack hands me a bag of frozen vegetables to put on my ankle.

“Hello?”

“Hey Lex. Sorry to wake you, but Jack's taking me to the hospital.”

“What? What happened? What did he do?”

“He didn't do anything. I went to stand up after I woke up, because we were going to go to Starbucks, and when I stood up in me heels, my ankle cracked. It hurts a lot.”

“You want Lisa and I to come with you?”

“No. I'll be fine. I mean, if you want to, you can, but I'll be fine.”

“Let me go get my shoes and we'll meet you at North Broadway.”

“Alright. See you there.”

“Alright. Bye.”

I hang up as Jack comes in to get me. “What'd he say?” He says putting the vegetables back in the freezer. “He's gonna meet us at North Broadway.” I say grabbing a hold of my heels. “No. You're wearing my slippers.” He says tossing me his house shoes. I pull them on and get up slowly, being careful of my ankle. He puts his arm around my shoulder and I grab onto him. I collapse, so he carries me to the car, and slips me in the back seat.

We drive to the hospital and Jack goes inside to grab me a chair. He pulls me out of the back and sets me down. Just before he is able to wheel me inside, Alex comes up behind him, lays a hand on his shoulder and says, “I've got her. Go park.” Jack nods and Alex wheels me inside.

“What happened exactly?” He says wheeling me to the line, waiting for Jack to come check me in. “Well, we fell asleep and when I woke up, Jack wanted to take me to Starbucks. I got up to get on my heels, and when I stood up from that, my ankle rolled out and I felt a really sharp pain up my leg. I collapsed, so he decided to take me in.” Alex just looks at me and notices how my hair is messed up. “Rough night?” he asks, raising an eyebrow. “Uh, you can say that.” I say trying to hide the fact that I'm blushing. “Lisa told me. You guys fucked didn't you?” He asks looking into my eyes. I nod and say, “Yeah. We used protection, but yes, we did.” Jack comes in and wheels me to the desk. He gets me checked in and I immediately get put into a room. Alex just glares at Jack. If looks could kill, well, you know the rest.

I get sent back for X-Rays and when I come back to the room, I see Jack and Alex fighting. “It wasn't my fault! She wanted it too!!!” Jack yelled. Alex screamed back, “But she is like my sister! How could you?” They always argued about stuff like this. They'll be okay. I go in and get transferred to my bed. The doctor came in 10 minutes later with a folder. “Well, you have a fracture in your heel. In order to keep you from moving it completely, we are going to need to cast your foot and part of your leg. Is that okay?” He says looking at Alex and I. We both nod and the doctor leaves. A nurse comes back in and pulls out a light, almost powder blue, package. She puts the cast on my leg and makes an appointment in a few weeks to come back. We all make the appointment and leave.

“I'll take her back home.” Alex says. “Fine. If you are, can her and I have some time to talk?” Alex mumbles then goes and gets his car while Jack and I are outside. “I'm sorry about last night. I should have never tempted you.” he says looking at me. “It's okay.” I say trying to reassure his worried look. “We can't be together. I hope you know that.” I just hang my head and say, “I realize that now.” “It was a good one night stand though.” He says trying to lighten the mood. “Yeah. I guess so. Can I get a goodbye kiss atleast?” He smiles and leans down to me in my chair and kisses me. Alex pulls up and helps me into the car. We drive home in silence.
