Unwinding Fate

Chapter 8: Abby

Isabelle stayed curled up next to Jared until Abby arrived but during all that, she almost fell asleep again. He eyes shot straight open though when Abby burst threw the door and hugged the living day lights out her, shoving Jared to the side to do so.

"Oh, I was so worried about you," Abby cried in her shoulder, "I'm so happy that you're alright!"

She cried in relief as she hugged her back," I'm glad to be back and alright too! It was terrible staying there."

Abby pulled back and looked over her frantically. "You're not hurt in any way, are you?"

She shook her head, "no, I'm not. Not anymore at least." Inside she was still hurt and broken and thought of herself as a bit disgusting with all the scars she had received over time there, she just wasn't going to worry about that now. There was no need for her to be. She was covered up and nobody could see them.

"So, how long do you have to stay here?" Abby asked looking around the room before back at her.

Isabelle shrugged, "I honestly don't know." She looked at Jared with a raised eyebrow and asked, "do you?"

Jared shook his head but answered, "you are not leaving until you are one hundred percent better. I'll make sure of that."

She groaned, "but I don't want to stay in this hospital room much longer. Why can't we just go home and lay in your bed?"

"Our bed," Jared corrected before saying, "and because I want you completely healed before you leave this place and-"

"Wow," she interrupted, "possessive and over protective much?"

"Of course. I'm not losing you again. I promise you that. There is no way I'm letting you out of my sight again."

She smiled slightly at that as she looked at him, "good, I don't want to leave you either."

They both stared at each other for a moment before they heard a throat clear which snapped Isabelle out of her trance and look at Abby. "Sorry, I'll just come back later. I can see that I'm not needed here at the moment, so I'll just be on my way. I'll tell you some news later." Before Isabelle could protest, Abby was already out the door.

She sighed as she looked at Jared again, "so when can I leave?"

"I already said not until you are better."

She rolled her eyes and murmured, "wow, this is going to be forever."

(Was going to stop it here but decided not to because it was so short)

As if ignoring him, she turned her attention to the tv that was still playing from when she had turned it on when she woke up. She changed the channel, looking for something more interesting to watch.

She could feel Jared becoming annoyed the more she ignored him and the attempts he tried to get to turn her attention back to him. If he was going to make her stay here in this bare, lifeless, white room for who knows how long, she was going to ignore him to the best of her abilities, no matter how much it pained her.

After she found a show she liked, Isabelle settled down and watched it, keeping her eyes trained on it. Just as her eyes were closing to go to sleep, Jared suddenly came over her, making her drag her attention to him. She groaned, "what?"

"Do not ignore me. Why are you?"

"Because I don't want to stay in this room until I'm better. I want to go home now."

"And you will sweetpea," Jared said, "just not right at this moment. Okay? Can we wait a little while longer?"

"Fine," she sighed as she looked at him, not able to resist the look on his face that she was giving her, "I'll stay here for a little while longer."

Jared grinned, "great!" He kissed her before laying down next to her, "I'm glad to hear that. Now go to sleep, I can tell that you're tired."

"Gladly," Isabelle replied as she laid her head on his chest and closed her eyes, falling to sleep to the sound of his heartbeat.

Well, here's a chapter I just wrote in a half hour for you all, not edited at all like the rest of the book. Hope you like it. And sorry for the wait, I've barely had any time to write at all but I hope you're all happy that I wrote something for you. I've got a question and be honest, do you hate the third person in this book and rather it be first? I know I would but I would have to go and edit everything. Would you like for me to keep it this way or not?
