MARK POV
I had to tell him, I thought as we broke away from our kiss. I had to tell him that I loved him. Jack looked at me like I wasn't even there.
"What just happened?" He asked, he gave me one of his "bitch faces". Maybe.. he didn't feel the same way that I did about him.
"I don't really know, but it felt right," I gave him a hopeful smile.
"Mark, get out," He can't say that. He has to be kidding.
"Jack we can work this out!" I placed my hand on his but he whipped his hand away. "If you don't feel the same way just tell me," I looked deep into his ocean blue eyes. Hoping to catch a glimpse of the old Jack, the one who laughed and cared about others. The one I fell in love with.
"No, I-I just don't want you to have to deal with me," Jack stared at the ground. "I'm sorry... please, just leave," He stuttered out.
Tears threatend to fall but I blinked them back. I turned around without a word. My heart shattered in half, you could hear it from a mile away. I sprinted out of the hospital and across the street, I felt empty.. how could he just turn me down like that? Now I let the tears fall, streaming down my cheeks. I swung open my car door and buckled my seatbelt, even though I had no intention to go anywhere. I rested my head on the steering wheel and sobbed.
JACK POV
"Wait," I whispered out... but Mark was already gone. I couldn't believe I threw out the chance to date the man of my dreams. I looked down at my useless legs, I had had enough of this. I slowly twisted my body so that my legs were hanging over the hospital bed. I stared at them, hoping that if I thought hard enough they would spring to life. No such luck.
I pushed myself up with my arms and slid down so that one foot was resting against the ground. I slid further so both feet were on the floor. I shoved myself up, and held onto the railing that went across the front of the bed. My arms shook, my muscles screamed out in pain. I let go of the banister and stood there for one graceful second. Then, felt my legs collapse underneath me. I crashed to the ground. My IV toppling down with me. I screamed out in frustration and pain.
"FUCKIN' USELESS LEGS," I screamed, pounding my fist on the ground. I lay there, helpless, unable to sit back up. Crying, my tears trickled down past my nose and chin and plipped onto the ground. A nurse was walking by and heard my yells. She rushed in.
"Oh my goodness! Jack what were you thinking?" She lifted me up, she was surprisingly strong, and set me on my bed. She also set up the IV and got it running again. I looked at her name tag, it read Kate Dun. Strange name. Kate sat next to me.
"Jack.. you should find other activity's to do, sitting here all day isn't going to make your situation any better," Kate placed her hand on my knee, I looked at her and she displayed actual concern.
"I guess." I mumbled.
"I think we should sign you up for some therapy, so you can talk out your frustrations. Rather then sit here all day and think about bad stuff," Kate suggested.
"Whatever. Sure,"
"Oh that's just wonderful," She smiled, she actually thought therapy was going to help? "I'll go sign you up right now!" She beamed at me and walked out of the room. I grabbed my phone that was sitting on the table across from me and plugged in my ear buds, I went through all the songs I had downloaded and pressed play on one of my favorites "Time to say goodbye" I rested my head against my rough pillow and found myself slowly drifting into sleep.
ANNNNDDD NOW IT'S SAD AGAIN XD DON'T HATE ME!!!!! Had a shitty day so sorry if this chapters a little to sad... soo... yea STAY ALIVE |-/
