Hidden Secrets (Jelena)

Chapter 36

*NOT EDITED*

He didn't look as bad as I thought. He had a cast on and laid quietly on the bed.

Poor baby.

"Hey" I mumbled as I took a seat near his legs.

"Hmm," I think he said. It was more of a muffle. 

"You okay?" I asked.

He slightly nodded his head "Just tired."

Is it bad if I say, that he looks really cute right now? All quiet and tired.

I reached out for his hand and intertwined our fingers. I could see him hiding his smirk. 

He's injured but still manages to keep his cheeky side.

"Your mom was so scared," I told him.

"Were you scared?" he asked in return.

"Of course I was," I simply replied. Obviously, I was scared. He's my fucking boyfriend for god's sake. 

"Are you hungry? I can arrange some food for you..." I changed the subject.

"No it's fine. I'm just gonna sleep it off. I was get out of here, so maybe you can arrange that?" He asked as he rubbed his thumb against the back of my hand.

"I'll see what I can do. But you better take care. And when you feel better, you have to tell me how this happened. Okay?" I said and looked him straight in the eyes, waiting for a reply.

"Hmm," he nodded.

I smiled and placed a sloppy kiss on his cheek.

"I'll see you later. Take care."

He nodded his head, too tired to reply.

"How is he?!" Pattie asked me as I came into her sight.

"He's tired, not as bad as the doctors explained it. He broke an arm and there are a few small injuries that shouldn't take too long to recover," I told her. Damn, I feel like I'm the doctor.

She let out a huge breath. 

I spotted Katie and Luke sitting on the chairs that were across the room. I shot them a small smile as they did the same.

"I'm so glad to hear that!" Pattie finally said.

Looking around, I noticed the absence of Jaxon. Where is he?

"Where's Jaxon?" I asked.

"I dropped him off at a day care," she replied.

~*~ 

As Justin slept, I managed to convince Pattie to go home and take care of Jaxon. She didn't agree so me being the person I am, I offered to go get Jaxon while she stayed at the hospital. 

I'm a little nervous because as far as me and Jaxon go, I don't think he feels comfortable around me.

Anyways, Katie and Luke were also headed back to campus. I hugged them good bye and got into Pattie's car. 

Well it's good to know that she at least trusts me with her car. 

I inserted the key and the car roared to life. 

~*~

I followed the instructions Pattie gave me and reached the day care.

I stepped into the building before giving myself time to over think how I was going to get Jaxon to feel comfortable around me. 

Relax. You're over thinking this. It's just Jaxon, you can't possibly stress over this. 

But he's Justin's brother. I want him to like me. Not feel awkward around me. What the fuck!?

I mentally slapped myself.

"Hi, I'm here to take Jaxon?" I asked a lady in black tights and a nice blue top.

"Are you his sister?" She asked.

Sister? I do not look anything like him. Or do I? 

"No, I'm-" I started

"Are you his mother?" She interrupted me.

Are you fucking kidding me right now? 

Let me talk!

"No, I'm his brother's girlfriend. His mom dropped him off earlier and she couldn't come get him herself because she's waiting at the hospital," I told her.

"Oh, is she okay?" She asked.

"Her? Yeah, it's her older son that was hurt...my boyfriend," I explained, regretting telling her all this. 

"Oh, is he okay?" She asked.

"Yeah, he's fine. So where's Jaxon?" I asked.

She shot me a smile and walked off to retrieve Jaxon.

He ran to me and started to look around me, as if he was expecting someone else.

"Hey, your mom couldn't make it, so I hope it's fine that I came," I smiled, as I bent down to reach his level.

He just nodded his head and held onto my hand. Aw.

"Is Justin okay?" he asked as I signed him out.

I'm so new to this whole day care thing.

"Yeah, he's all good. But he needs to get some sleep," I told him.

"Can I see him?" He asked.

"It's late, how about you get some sleep? And then tomorrow when you have more energy you can see him, okay?" I smiled.

"Okay."

What do I do to get him to just let go and talk to me? 

"You must be starving-" I started as I buckled his seat belt.

"McDonalds!! Can we go?" He asked, a sudden smile appearing on his face. I seriously can't say no to that smile. Besides, I think I could use a burger right now.

"Sure," I let out a laugh and got on to the drivers seat.

~*~

We got to McDonalds and his mood seemed to be lighter. That's a good sign.

"How come you act so nice?" He suddenly asked.

What's that supposed to mean?

"What do you mean?" I asked, trying to keep my voice in it's kiddish playful way.

"Daddy said you're mean. So how come you're pretending to be nice?" 

What?!
