I wake up still in the hospital. I sit up and the nurse sets down breakfast. I nod and the doctor walks in. "You can go today. You're healed", the doctor says. I nod and they leave. Clark walks in.
"Can you help me get dressed? I know it's a weird request but I need help", I ask Clark.
"Of course", Clark replies. I slip off my gown but I still have a bra and underwear on. Clark turns his head as I slip on a white tank top and shorts.
"Also can you drive me home? The doctor says I can go home today", I say to him.
"Of course", Clark replies. I get up and gather up my stuff. I leave with Clark following behind me. I start to limp to the elevator but Clark helps me.
"Thanks", I sigh.
"You know it's okay to sometimes ask for help", Clark says.
"Yeah then people will call me weak", I reply.
"You know that's not true", Clark says.
"And you know it is true", I reply. Clark rolls his eyes and helps me to his truck.
"Careful", Clark says helping me in. I get in and he shuts the door. Clark gets in and I sigh. He drives to the farm and stops the truck when we get there. I open the door and get out. I hit a pain in my leg and start to fall. But Clark runs with his super speed and catches me.
"Still sure you don't need help", Clark smiles. I roll my eyes and he helps me to my feet.
"I just hit a pain in my leg", I reply.
"Right", Clark teases. He wraps an arm around me and helps me to the house.
"Oh your out of the hospital", Jonathan says.
"Yeah but the doctor told me to take it easy. I'm a little crippled", I reply.
"She almost fell getting out of the truck", Clark chimes in. I roll my eyes and look at Jonathan again.
"I hit a pain in my leg that's all", I sigh. I limp over to the couch and sit down. I sigh and look at my leg. I peel the bandage back a little and look at the wound. The bullet holes sewed up. I quickly bandage it back. I pull my sleeve off and I pull the bandage back. I look at the sewed up bullet hole. A tear rolls down my cheek and I bandage it back. I wipe the tear away and get up. I start to limp upstairs.
"Hey let me help you", Clark says.
"Clark I'm fine", I snap. He pulls away a little startled by my tone. "Sorry", I say quickly. I limp upstairs and get to my room. I see crutches and a note. I pick up the note and read it mentally. The note says: I thought you might need these- Lex. I sigh and take them in my room. I get out my phone and dial Lex's number.
"This is Lex", Lex says.
"Hey its Jess. I got your little present and note. I just wanted to say thanks", I say.
"Oh well your welcome. I'm surprised you called me. After our little conversation yesterday", Lex replies.
"I was just angry. I'm sorry", I say.
"No I'm the one who should be sorry. I should have never started researching the Kawachi Caves", Lex says.
"Could you come over", Lex asks.
"Of course I'll be right over", I reply. I hang up and stick my phone in my back pocket. I get my purse and keys. I grab my crutches and go downstairs.
"Where are you going", Clark asks.
"To see Lex", I reply.
"The doctor said you needed to rest", Jonathan says.
"I'm fine", I reply. I walk to my car with my crutches underneath my arms. I slide my crutches in my car and get in. I drive to Lex's mansion and I grab my crutches. I limp my way inside and up to the main room door. I knock and Lex opens the door almost immediately.
"Hi", I say.
"Hi... Come on in", Lex says moving out of the way. I limp in and I hear the door shut. I turn around to see him walking up to me. "You know you still look beautiful. Even if you are crippled", Lex smiles.
"Is that on the inside to. Or are you just focusing on my looks", I sigh.
"What", Lex asks confused.
"Lex I've heard it all before. Guy's only focus on my looks. Not my sweet caring personality", I snap.
"Jess when I say your beautiful. I mean your beautiful. I think your personality is the most beautiful thing about you", Lex says placing his hands on my waist. "And I love you", Lex smiles.
"I love you to", I smile. Lex kisses me passionately and I kiss back with just as much passion. We sit down and I sigh. I set my crutches aside and look at him.
"Lex I'm sorry I snapped. I did the same thing to Clark. It seems like everyone wants to baby me. When I'm fine. My leg is just sore that's all. And it seems I can't take the hint that he just wants to help", I sigh.
"If I were you I would tell him that. He's your brother and he loves you", Lex says.
"I know but I'm 21 and I can take care of myself. I just think something he doesn't realize I'm not a baby anymore. I don't need his help all the time", I say looking at my hands.
"I think you're just stubborn", Lex teases. I roll my eyes and playfully punch him in the arm. Lex closes the gap between us. Our lips move in sync. I pull away a little hesitate.
"I better go. Clark might be worrying about me", I say quickly. Lex nods and I grab my crutches. I get up and stick my crutches under my arms. Lex opens the door for me and kisses me goodbye. I leave and walk to my car. I put my crutches in my car and get in. I drive back to the farm and get out. I grab my stuff and go back inside. I stop for a second and set my crutches my down. I start to walk up to the door and I collapse. I growl and sit on my butt. I lie down and stare at the sky.
"Hey are you okay", Clark asks kneeling next to me.
"I was trying to walk without my crutches and kinda fell", I say sadly.
"Why", Clark asks.
"Cause I feel so damn so useless", I sigh.
"Come on", Clark says holding out his hand. I take his hand and grab my stuff. I go inside and sit at the counter. I pull the leaves out of my hair and sigh.
"Oh my god what happened", Martha asks.
"I tryed walking without my crutches and fell", I reply.
"Why", Jonathan asks.
"Cause I feel so useless. I can't do a thing with my leg like this", I sigh. Martha walks over to me and pats my back.
"It's okay. You'll heal eventually", Martha says. I limp upstairs and go to my room. I take off my makeup. I change into a tank top and yoga shorts. I sit on my bed and hear my phone go off.
"Hello", I say into the phone.
"I know who you are", the voice says. The person hangs up and I set my phone down. I ignore it and get into bed and fall asleep.
