Draw the Shades and Close the Door (a Vic Fuentes Fanfic)

Chapter 40

~~Jaime's P.O.V~~

I woke up feeling a bit better than last time. The nurse had told me that Nina had been to visit but had to leave. I was sad I didn't get to see her. The only other people that ha visited were family. I opened my eyes and saw a man and a woman stood near my bed chatting they ha police uniform on. I coughed letting them know I was awake.

'Ah Mr Preciado, are you ok to talk about what happened, we need to clear things up with you before we take any further action.' The woman said softly.

'Uh yeah? go ahead.' What did they need to clear up?

'We have Mr Vic Fuentes in custody for assault. We need to know exactly what happened.' the man said.

'WHAT!?' I exclaimed! Vic was in custody? For how long? Had he been in the whole time I was in hospital? Oh shit, I needed to get him out of there.

'Is everything ok Mr Preciado?' They asked me.

'This is just one huge misunderstanding, Vic Isn't to blame for this. He needs to be released.'

'Um Jaime, isn't it? Are you sure of what you're saying, it seems like Victor put you in a pretty bad way, this is serious.'

No shit.

'Yes I am certainly sure of what I'm saying. In no way is Vic to go to jail for this, I am not pressing charges against him.' I couldn't believe Vic had been locked up for a week. Why didn't anyone tell me sooner, then I could have done something about it.

I needed to get out of thing bloody hospital and fix things.

~~Vic's P.O.V~~

I heard the door to my cell unlocking the warden pulling me out of my cell. I wasn't sure why he was dragging me towards reception. When we got there I saw my parents smiling at me teary eyed. 'Jaime isn't pressing charged.' My mum smiled at me a she walked over to hug me. I was so relived. I would go mad if I had to stay in there another day, let alone years. I cried onto my mums shoulder as my dad stood smiling at us.

No one had told me how Jaime had been getting along but I now assumed he was ok seeing as he had dropped all charges against me. It did worry me that it had taken a week though, had he really been in that bad a state? Because of me? I needed to go and see him.

After I had signed documents etc etc My parents and I were walking out to the car when I asked them if I could go and see Jaime. They looked at me worriedly but I convinced them and they drove me to the hospital.

'Im looking for Jaime Preciado.' I said to the woman at the desk.

'Room 141' She said and I took off down the corridor.

I knocked quietly on the door not waiting for a response before I walked in. Jaime was asleep on the bed. He looked terrible. His face had cuts all over it, he had tubes up his nose and a drip in his arm. I closed my eyes and had to stop myself from being sick. This was my best friend lying here in hospital because of me. I pulled up a chair and sat down. I would wait for him to wake up.

I closed my eyes just thinking the last weeks events through, though most of it consisted of me sitting bored out of my mind in a room when I was snapped out of my thought by Jaime. 'Vic' he said.

I open my eyes. He looked terrified and his heart rate picked up bit. I held up my hands. 'Im not going to hurt you Jaime, I'm just here to chat.' I saw him relax in his bed.

'Oh' was all he said.

I swallowed my pride all at once. 'Im sorry.'

Jaime looked surprised. 'What?' his eyes flicked over to me.
