I'm in Love with a Jackass

Chapter 19- Hurt, More Hurt, and Even More Hurt

Beep, beep, beep. My eyes opened to bright lights, making my vision blurry. I groaned and stretched my legs and arms, feeling uncomfortable under the thin, white linen blanket wrapped around my legs. Where am I? I scratched my head, glancing around at my surroundings. I was in a hospital room, an ivy needle stuck into my arm, and a bandage wrapped around my left arm. I sat up, but stopped when a head shifted beside me. I glanced at the person sleeping beside me. Steve-O's head rustled to the left, his arms shifting, but still supported his head. "I love you too..." he mumbled and shifted his head the other way. 

I cocked my head to the side, slightly confused. Love? Love who? It's probably me, isn't it? I gaped at Steve-O's head, smiling foolishly to myself. Steve-O. What an idiot... I grinned. He's so sweet to stay with me in the hospital room... I blushed a bright pink and jumped when the door knob of the small room shook then opened. Bam stood there, a piece of chocolate mousse pie in his hands. "Oh... Hi Bam." I mumbled.

"How are you?" He asked, setting the pie on a side-table.

"I'm fine," I said, "just a little dizzy. By the way, where is everyone?"

"That's good to hear, Kit-Kat! Everyone's outside filming some random stunts and pranks." Bam smiled at me, his blue eyes shining then came over to me, "I'm glad you're okay..." He whispered, tucking a piece of hair behind my ear. 

I took a hold of his arm with one hand, giving him an awkward smile, "Bam... not now. Please? Steve-O's right there, and it's getting a little awkward." 

He only laughed at me, "Well, someone's a little defensive." he scoffed, "Just relax, I wasn't planning on making any moves on you like I did the other night," he winked, making me blush a bright tomato red, "I know how you feel about me and Steve-O. Just remember that I probably love you a lot more than this idiot." 

"Whatever Bam," I rolled my eyes, "But I think you guys are on the same level of stupidity."

"Really? Like how?"

"You forgot my fork numb nuts." I flicked his forehead, making his face go red. 

"Oh," he rubbed his forehead and looked away embarrassed, "I'll go get it then."

Bam sat up from his sitting position and walked out of the room, closing the door softly behind him. I started to laugh uncontrollably to myself, my body shaking from the fact that I made him red. Wow, it feels nice to make someone else embarrassed... I thought.

"Hrmph... Katie," Steve-O mumbled, "I love you..."

I smiled as he kept on sleeping, then furrowed my brows. This was really, really beginning to be a problem. Bam said he loves me, Steve-O says he loves me, and I didn't know what to do! Bam was a cute guy, and so was Steve-O, but I knew that on the inside, this all just felt so... wrong. I couldn't imagine myself getting married to Bam, or to Steve either. Bam possibly could've had a girlfriend... Robin or whoever that is... and I had no idea about Steve-O. 

I stared at my hand, then out the window. I wondered about what I would've been doing if I hadn't told them my real age. If I had just stayed in San Diego instead of this cursed city. Steve-O sat up from his uncomfortable position he had just been in, with his head on the bed, and arms all sprawled out. 

"Oh so you're awake," he said groggily and stretched, "how's your arm?"

"It's fine," I smiled, "What happened when I passed out?" 

"Well, the snake gave you a pretty gnarly bite and you lost a good amount of blood to make you pass out. Then the paramedics took you to this hospital, then blood was transfused, and that's pretty much it."
