Crash (complete)

chapter five

So...I've seen the summer trailer....and when I say I've seen it, I mean I've studied it...and I haven't seen anyone that could have been injured in a car accident...maybe Connie's car gets stolen and written off or if she does crash it'll be a little bump.
Basically I have no idea but the car photos that where doing the rounds have me puzzled.

"Why can't I just get Jacob?" Asked Grace with a strop.
"Just because...." Sighed Connie. "We'll manage...it's just going to take practice." She said as she struggled with one crutch out onto the car park and was trying to call for a taxi.
"Here Grace, are you alright to carry these." Asked Jacob as he came up behind them and took away Connie's phone and crutch.
"Sure." Agreed Grace with a smirk.
Connie let out a small squeal and Grace laughed as Jacob hoisted Connie into his arms, keeping her good arm againt his chest.
"Jacob put me down!" She demanded.
"Nope." Jacob said flatly as he carried Connie towards his car.
"Grace! Stop laughing...your just encouraging him...Jacob put me down!" Moaned Connie.
Jacob stopped walking and gently placed Connie down helping her balance on her good leg. "Ok...now get in the car!" Said Jacob taking no nonsense from the clinical lead.
Connie was about to protest but changed her mind, instead she slid down into the passenger seat of Jacob's car.

A short time later the trio were back at Connie's house.
"Right you rest here." Said Jacob placing Connie down on the sofa. "And watch some t.v." he added and passed her the remote control.
"Errr...who do you think your bossing around?" Asked Connie amazed.
"You!...now stay put while me and Grace get you some lunch." Commanded Jacob before he left the living room.
Connie smiled as she flicked through the channels on the t.v. but instantly replaced it with a scowl when she heard Jacob coming back deciding to make him sweat a little longer.
"Right..." Said Jacob putting a plate of sandwiches down on the coffee table. "...painkillers first." He passed her the tablets and then a glass water.
"Thanks." Murmured Connie handing the glass back.
Jacob sat beside her, his earlier confidence dissipating. "You should probably eat something." He said moving the plate onto Connie's lap.
"Where's Grace?" Wondered Connie taking a sandwich and then giving the rest back to Jacob.
"Gone for a lie down." He told her.
"Oh."
They sat in silence as they finished the food, the air between them thick with tension. "I think this is the longest we been in each other company without arguing for....it seems like forever." Said Connie.
"Ye." Agreed Jacob. "I know I was wrong Connie...I was hurting and missing you...when Elle showed up I thought I could make you jealous...it sounds ridiculous now when I say it out loud...things just escalated...I know it's no excuse...I am really sorry."
Letting out a sigh Connie reached and took hold of Jacob's hand. "I'm sorry too."
Jacob shuck his head. "You have nothing to be sorry for..."
"I gave as good as I got...I'm not entirely blameless...although I will not be apologizing for what I said about Elle...she's up to something...I know she was your friend..." Said Connie.
"Was?" Asked Jacob with a frown.
"What?"
"You said ' she WAS my friend...past tense." Clarified Jacob.
Connie started to blush as she pulled her hand back and sat there in silence.
"Connie..." Started Jacob. "Connie..."
"OK..." She snapped before calmly adding. "...Ok...I heard the two of you!"
"When?"
"At the hospital...when you left...I heard you shouting at her, telling her to stay away from you..." Then Connie said quietly. "Amongst other things."
"Oh." Said Jacob. "OH!" When he realized what else she had overheard.
"Ye." Connie looked down at her lap and studied her fingernails as she felt Jacob move closer to her.
"I meant it you know...I love you..." Jacob said gently as he stroked a strand of Connie's hair behind her ear. "...I felt awful last night after I said I hated you...the truth is, I tried to...I tried to hate you...I thought it would make it easier to move on...instead I just ended up hating myself for hurting you...when I saw your car in the car park today..." Jacob looked at Connie. "...I've never been so scared...I thought I'd lost you...I never want to be without you." Placing his hand on Connie's cheek he carefully turned her head to look at him. "Your the most intelligent, strong, beautiful, funny, witty, stubborn, frustrating woman I've ever met..." Jacob used his thumb to wipe away a tear that ran down her face. "...and I love you with all my heart."
Connie pulled him closer and Jacob leaned in kissing her gently, taking his time to reacquaint himself, enjoying the feeling of just being close.
Easing back Connie gave him a watery smile. "Jacob?"
"Mmm." He smiled back.
"I love you too." She told him.

Should I leave it here?
