I woke up to the sound of snoring and shuffling. I slowly opened my eyes to see I'm in a hospital bed with 17 bodies scattered across the small room. I pressed the button above the bed to get a nurse in the room. A nurse quickly came in the room.
"Can I help you, dear?" She asked.
"My neck hurts and I don't remember what happened or why I'm in here." I said, noticing people starting to wake up.
"I can get you some medicine for the pain, but you might want to ask your friends what happened last night." She said and walked out of the room.
I looked around the room and noticed Jack wasn't there.
"Guys, where's Jack?" I asked. Everyone gave me a look of sympathy.
"OH MY GOD! DID HE DIE?!" I shouted, ready to cry.
"No, no, no, no, no. He's umm.. He's in jail." Nate spoke.
"FOR WHAT?!" I shouted, once again.
"Guys, can I speak to Alexa alone?" They nodded and left the room one by one.
"Nate, tell me everything. Why Jack is in jail, what happened last night and why I'm in the hospital." Nate took a deep breath and sat in the chair next to the bed.
"Do you remember anything from last night?" He asked. I thought back to the night before trying to remember something. Anything.
"I remember going out to the club and having fun.It was Matt's idea. I remember you trying to get with a couple of girls, one of them being me," I stop and laugh, seeing him chuckle as well, "Oh, and then having a small argument with Jack.. Oh.my.god.."
The nurse walked in with my medicine and a water and then left the room. I took the medicine and stared off into space in the room.
"Alexa.." Nate grabbed my hand, trying to comfort me. I jumped at the touch. I looked at him with tears in my eyes, some already pouring down my face.
"He choked me.." I croaked. Nate sighed and attempted to wipe my tears away. I pushed his hand away from my face, I can't stand the thought of someone putting their hands on me right now. Even if they're just trying to help.
Nate caught on and looked at me one last time before getting up and making his way to the door.
"Nate?" I stopped him. He turned around. "Who stopped him? He couldn't have stopped on his own. I remember the look he had on his face, his eyes were dark and.." I stopped myself from thinking about it too much.
"Me. It was me." Nate said and started to leave again. How had I not seen this side of Nate before? I should've known deep down inside he wasn't truly an asshole and a perv..
"Wait, Nate." I said, stopping him again. He turned around once again. "Stay with me. Please." He smiled a little bit and walked back over to the chair but before he could sit down, I grabbed his hand to get his attention.
"Lay with me." I made room for him to get in the bed. He got in the bed and wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer to his chest.
"I just don't get it.. We were so close and all of a sudden I bring up one little thing and he loses it and chokes me."
"Whatever you said must have pushed him way over the line. He was already on edge when he saw you dancing with Matt in the studio."
"Are you serious?" Nate nods. "He does realize that Matt is older than me and he's married, right?" Nate shrugs.
"I don't get why he would care about it anyways. It was just a little bit or choreography that I came up with to have fun. And besides, he has that little side hoe that looks like a rat to play with his dick whenever and wherever." I say, making Nate laugh.
