Adopted by Jennifer Lawrence

Chapter 3

Jens POV
"I hope you don't mind, but while I was waiting for you to wake up, I was on your iPad. I found the stories you write and I just wanted to say you're very talented." I speak up, in hopes that I'm not stepping over the line.

"Oh, really, you read those? They're nothing special, I just do them to keep myself sane." She responds modestly in a nonchalant tone, which is sad because she obviously never got any gratitude or encouragement.

"No don't say that, they are real page turners, like seriously, I couldn't stop reading." I retort truthfully, hoping to give her a boost of confidence.

"Thank you, that's pretty cool, jlaw likes my writing." She responds, blushing with happiness.

"Thanks, but you're the one who should be getting credit." I answer with a soft smile, which is then returned, our happy moment is abruptly interrupted by a doctor by the name of Dr. Fox coming into the room.

"Hi I'm your doctor, Dr. Fox." He says, shaking both our hands.

"You had some accident." He says with a chuckle.

"Yeah I know." Katie says softly with a smile.

"Well you're pretty lucky." He starts before being cut off.

"Well I don't feel it." Katie says jokingly but I'm pretty sure there's a lot of truth there too.

"I thought you would say that. Anyway, both legs are broken and you have stitches in your left thigh. We don't really know how they got there, but I have an idea. Miss Lawrence, were you wearing heels at the time of the accident?" The doctor asks towards me. What a weird question.

"Em yeah, why?" I answer curiously.

"Well, I'm pretty sure, considering the angle the wound is at, indicates that your heel caused it when she landed on you after tackling you out of the way." He answers in a plain tone.

"Oh, God I'm really sorry." I answer, feeling really guilty. I mean how the hell did my heel cause that? I did hit the ground with a lot of force, so I guess that explains it.

"It's okay it's my fault, I did throw myself on you." She answers in an attempt to take away the guilt I'm feeling with a small chuckle.

"Anyway as I was saying you can leave in a few days, but your legs will take a few months to heal.My estimate is about two months. We will give you some pain killers and vitamins to take on a daily basis that will help with pain, growth and repair." The doctor finishes.

"Well how many days are we talking two, three?" Katie asks questioningly.

"I'm gonna say that we will release you in about two days. Now if you will excuse me." Dr fox answers slipping out the door.

"Well I guess you're home in two days, that gives me enough time to explain the situation with my publicist." I say directing my attention to Katie, who was pushing herself to a upright position on the bed.

"Yeah, thank God." She says, chuckling while finishing her adjustments.

"What do you want to do, you're bound to be bored." I ask, looking at her and smiling.

"Well I already know a lot of stuff about you, but I'm not sure if it's true or not." She answers with her eyes downcast from embarrassment. I wonder what she knows about me. Time to ask.

"Okay then, how about we do true or not true, meaning you ask me something and I tell you if it's true or not?" I question curiously wanting to know what she knows.

"Okay that sounds fun, em... Your favorite junk food is cool ranch Doritos?" She asks, laughing and smiling, making me smile.
