Hold on JackABoy

Chapter 33- Checking In

Jades POV

I clocked out of work and decided to head upstairs.
I knocked on the door and heard blankets shift. The door cracked open and I saw Jack standing there looking down. "Hi Jade" he mumbled and turned back walking towards his bed. I walked in and closed the door behind me. It took a while for my eyes to adjust to the darkness and I tripped over his suitcase. He giggled and helped me up. The pull from me and him must've hurt him because he made a muffled sound of discomfort and grabbed his arm.
Once I stood up I slowly grabbed his wrist and tried to see his facial expression
To see if he would allow me to check on his arm.
He noticed how I couldn't see and he looked back and with the wrist I wasn't holding he turned the lamp on. When he turned  back he nodded and I slowly pushed up his hoodie's sleeve.
Blood was slowly seeping through the bandages.
"I have to change these Jack.." I looked up to him.
He nodded in agreement and he sat down while I went back to the bathroom. I grabbed some more bandages and came back out to him. He had taken his hoodie off for more access to both arms. I stopped in place and noticed a huge scar going across his torso. I immediately went to his arms because I didn't want to be rude. I started carefully removing the bandages on his right arm. "I was in a car accident a while back.." I looked at him confused but then realized he was talking about the huge scar on his torso. "Is...is it that bad?" He asked.
"No-n-no its not" I stuttered noticing I might not have helped his self confidence. I finished bandaging up both of his arms and I moved to his legs. I washed them and bandaged them up. He must have started on his arms because his legs weren't as bad.
Once I finished I pushed myself up and sat on the chair behind me. I watched as he carefully put on his hoodie. I looked around realizing that he was in a hotel. I barely know him? Should I? I mean I don't want him to get hurt though...
"He-hey Jack?" He looked up from his hands at me. That was the first time I saw how blue his eyes were.
"I know we just met but I was wondering if instead of staying here alone would you like to stay with me? I-I live in an apartment it's not much but it's what I can afford at the moment." I pushed my hair out of my face and looked up. He looked to be thinking over what I just said.
"I-i don't want to be a burden I'm not really good." He said.
"Its ok don't worry you're not a burden and I'm worried about you, you can stay till you get back on your feet. I promise it'll be fine." I tried being as welcoming as possible.
"O-ok but please tell me if I'm to much because I'll leave." He pleaded. Woah he was really worried but he shouldn't be.
I nodded. I gave him a few minutes to pack and he grabbed his suit case. I walked out to my car while he checked out and we were on our way to my apartment. That way I can find out more about him and make sure he is safe.
