The bad boy saved me

Chapter 16

LOLA POV!!!!!

I was waiting in the hospital. He was in surgery. I've watched the light the entire time, to see when it started and when it was over. I saw the green and I stood. A doctor walked out and over to me.

"It was a close call," she said, "he's still knocked out but if that bullet would have been a centimeter closer, it would have ruptured an artery. He would have died if it was anymore to the left. You can go and sit up there but you'll have to leave at 8."

"Why?" I ask, "come on. People are kind of after me. Please let me stay here."

She sighed but agreed. She took me to his room and I walked in. I sat down on the couch but stood quickly again. I walked over and grabbed his hand.

"Hey Jace," I smiled, "I hope you're ok. They told me that if it was over anymore to the left you would have died. Jesus Christ I've prayed my ass off. I'm not even close with God but I need you."

I kissed his forehead, "but you're ok. I'm ok. Everyone is ok and they'll be happy to know you made it out alive."

I set my hand on his cheek and smiled. I walked back over to the couch and sat down.

Me- hey he's ok. He made it out alive. It was a really close call though. Tell Gale that he's ok but he's still asleep.

Chels- alright, thanks sugar. He will be so relieved to hear that. Are you ok?

Me- I'm better now that he's ok.

Chels- are you staying there?

Me- yes, I'm staying here tonight.

Chels- ok babe. Be careful.

Me- you too B

I looked at him from the couch and grabbed a chair. I pulled it up to the bed and grabbed his hand. I held it in mine and laid my head down. I closed my eyes and soon fell asleep.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I woke up to his hand moving. His breathing was heavy. He looked all around him but didn't see me. I stood and set my hands on his cheeks.

"Babe," I whispered, "hey I'm right here. I'm right here. You're ok."

His eyes locked onto mine and he smiled small. I set my hand on his heart and smiled.

"Just relax," I whispered, "you're safe. I found the person who shot you. You got lucky though. If it would have been over anymore you wouldn't be here. Now you're safe, and you're okay, everyone knows that you're ok."

He slowly nodded and then grabbed my hand. He pressed his lips to it. I smiled and chuckled a bit.

"I love you," he whispered.

Tears came to my eyes and I looked at him. I laughed as the tears fell.

"I love you too," I smiled.

Was this happening?

He...loves me?

Oh my gosh. It's real. It's so real. I am so happy. I kissed his forehead.

"Don't cry," he smiled, "don't cry."

I nodded and he wiped my tears away.

"I'm sorry," I smiled, "I'm just happy to hear you say that."

He chuckle and a nurse walked in. She walked over to him. She smiled and winked at him. I kept my eyes on her. She kept looking back and smiling.

"Hi," I stood, "I'm Lola. I'm Jaces girlfriend. Nice to meet you."

She looked at me shocked, "oh. Nice to meet you."

I smiled and nodded. She finished her work quickly and walked out. I looked at Jace and he started laughing.

"What?" I asked.

"You didn't have to do that," he laughed.

"Well I did," I folded my arms.

He smiled and I sat down. An actual Doctor then walked in.

"Hello Jace," he said, "so you did get lucky. You did leave us a couple times on the table but now you're here and stable. You can leave whenever you want to, but you need to take atleast a week off of work."

"Alright," Jace nodded.

"We advice that you stay here for the night just to make sure," he said.

"That's good," I smiled.

The doctor walked out. Jace looked at me.

"Why did you do that?" He asked.

"Because I knew you'd leave tonight," I said, "and I wasn't letting that happen."

"Can you leave?" He asked.

"Excuse me?" I looked at him.

"Read my lips!" He snapped, "leave!"

I picked up my purse, "so much for trying to fucking help you. Fine, I'll leave. You won't see me at your house either."

I walked out of the hospital and grabbed my phone. I called Chelsea.

"I'm coming over," I said, "where does he live?"

She gave me the address and I hung up. I walked to his house, I grabbed my things and then left. I went to Chelsea and Gale. I opened the door and dogs started barking.

Chelsea ran up to me and hugged me.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"He's a dick," I said, "the doctor recommended that he should stay for the night. I knew he wouldn't so I said that'd be good. He told me leave. I said 'excuse me' and he completely lost it so I left. Now I'm here."

Gale walked over to me, "he's just nervous. He died and came back."

"Yeah well sorry," I said, "but that doesn't make it ok to be a dick. Chelsea I'm going back to my moms house."

"Lola that isn't a good idea," she said.

"I'll be fine," I snapped.

I walked out of the house and she ran after me. She grabbed my arm.

"Lola!" She yelled, "stop it! You are insane! You can't go back! Your mom and dad...they're back together babe! You can't go back!"

"Watch me," I ripped my arm away.

I pulled out a cigarette and lit it. I walked down the street and to my house. I put my ear to the door and heard the screaming. I shook my head and opened the door. They looked at me.

"Where the hell have you been!" My dad screamed.

"Gone!" I yelled back, "away from this!"

I through my hands in the air. He walked over to me and I could tell he was drunk. He grabbed my wrist and then pushed me against the wall.

"What the hell!" He screamed louder.

The back of his hand hit my face and I kicked him in the groin. He fell to the ground and I ran upstairs. My mom came after me.

"Baby!" She yelled, "Lola!"

I slammed my door and locked it, "leave me alone!"

I could hear her crying and then I heard my dad banging on the door.

"Lola you better open this door!" He screamed.

"Go away!" I screamed louder, "leave me alone!"
