JESS'S P.O.V.

"do you want to dance with me?" he asked. "no, im eating." i said, holding up my plate of food. "how about after you finish eating?" he asked. "nah, im going to dance with my friends." i said, taking a bite of a brownie. "i'm your friend, so i can dance with you." he said. "my friends are nikki, jake, niall, louis, liam, harry, and zayn. notice how you arent on that list." i said, walking away from him. i turned around and saw a hurt look plastered on his face. i set my food on a nearby table, having lost my appetite. ryan followed me as i ran deeper into the crowd. i ran into a hard surface. pain shot up my wrist as it hit the floor, and bent in a weird way. i looked up at what, or rather who i ran into. "oh, sorry louis." i said. "are you okay love?" he asked, helping me up off the ground. "yeah" i lied, trying to hide the pained look that was probably creeping onto my face. "no youre not. your wrist might be broken. im taking you to the hospital." he insisted. "thanks lou." i whispered, tears streaming down my cheeks. we walked out of Ed's flat, and over to harry's car. "so tell me love, why were you running?" he asked, putting the key into the ignition, bringing the car to life. "i was trying to get away from somebody who wouldnt leave me alone." i said. i looked down at my wrist, and cringed at the sight of it. i wiped away my fresh tears with my uninjured hand. we pulled into the hospital parking lot, and louis helped me out of the car. my phone rang, and i grabbed it out of my purse. "hello?" i said weakly, trying not to bump my arm on anything. "hey, where are you?" jake asked, breathing heavily on the other end. "im at the hospital with louis." i said. "what are you doing there? are you hurt?" he asked in a panicked tone. i contemplated whether i should tell him the truth or not. if i do, he'll panic more than he already is. "yes." i finally said. "what happened?!" he practically screamed. "i ran into louis, and fell over. i landed on my wrist, and i think its broken." i said as we neared the reception desk. "im on my way over there. dont fall again." he said, and hung up. "hi, uh, she broke her arm and i need someone to look at it." louis told the receptionist, and she nodded her head. "come with me." she said, and we followed her down the hallway. she knocked on a door, and then walked in. "can you take a look at this girl's wrist?" she said to a doctor, and then motioned for us to go into the room. i sat down in a chair next to lou, and waited for the doctor to say something. he turned his spinny chair around, and we both stared at each other in shock. "dad?!" i finally said, breaking the awkward silence. "hey jess!" he said, hugging me. "when did you start working here?" i asked, flabbergasted. "about a week ago, now lets take a lok at your wrist." he said, cautiously grabbing my arm. i flinched as his cool hands touched my sore skin. "lets take you in for an x-ray." he said. we walked into the hallway, and i heard my name echo through the halls. jake came running towards me, and gave me a hug. i froze as my dad looked at jake. my dad has never met jake, and he doesnt know im dating him. "who's this?" my dad asked curiously. "m-my friend." i stuttered. "im her boyfriend, sir." jake said, unaware that he was talking to my dad. i sighed. "jake, meet my dad. dad, meet my boyfriend, jake." i said, and the look on both of their faces were priceless.
