Jacks POV
I wake up and have no idea where I am. I try to open my eyes, but my eyelids are to heavy. They only move a little and fall back. I feel someone holding my hand. I hear a voice, but it sounds very far away and I have to listen very concentrated to hear it. "Jack! Jack do you hear me ? Are you awake?! It's me, Mark. I'm here." The voice sounded like the owner was crying. I knew that voice. I tried to open my eyes again, but failed again. The grip on my hand got stronger. The voice sounded like it was crying. "You're awake ! You are finally awake! You got me worried sick, you know." I could hear a smile in the voice. Who was that ? I know, how did I even dare to forget ! Mark. The one who had saved my life twice now. I wanted to say something, to calm him down. I tried to say his name. I heard my own, impossible to understand, whispering voice. I tried to open my eyes again. I got a bit further, but I failed again. Marks voice was clearer now. "What did you say? Jack? You can hear me, can't you ?! Oh thank god !" I tried again. I sounded a bit louder this time. "Hi...... Mark......" my voice sounded horrible. "You do hear me !!!!" I really wanted to open my eyes. I wanted to see him. I wanted to give the man I have loved since I met him and who saved my life twice, a hug with all my might. Opening my eyes would be a good start. I tried again, very hard. I saw something, someone, for a second before my eyes closed again. "It's okay Jack, you weren't supposed to wake up until tomorrow. You got in some kind of mini coma or something." I heard Mark giggle. "I haven't left you side for the past 4 days. I wouldn't dare to leave you alone." I really wanted to talk back, but my throat felt like there was sand in it. It hurt so much to talk. I tried to sit up a little. I tried to move my left arm, but stopped immediately. Pain raced trough my whole arm. I made a sound. Some kind of cry. "Jack, don't move. You have more than just a shot wound in your shoulder. You broke some ribs when you fell. They fixed it, but it'll take a while before that's done." Shot wound ? I tried to remember what had happened and why I was in a bed. I couldn't. Thinking made my head hurt so much that I could pass out again. I tried opening my eyes again. This time I finally succeeded. After one second I knew where I was, a hospital. My sight was blurry, but I could see the walls and the monitors, and Mark. Even if he was just a weird, blurry, moving thing, I could finally see him. "Jack! You're awake ! You're really awake!" I saw Mark Kom closer to me. I wish I could hug him. "Mark.....are....you...ok?" My speech was slowly but surely coming back. I felt something wet fall on my shirt, water or something. "I'm fine Jack. How can you care about me when your in a hospital bed having a hard time keeping your eyes open?" I just care about you, you dumbass, I thought. I couldn't say this cause when I tried, I just made a weird, squeaky noice. Mark laughed. My sight was slowly getting clearer. I was demanding it go to faster so I could see Marks face.
After a while, my sight was finally clear and I was talking back to Mark wish facial expressions. My voice didn't work jet. I heard a door opening and closing. The sound of someone walking on heels came closer. "Ah I see you're awake Mr. Smith." I women's voice said. Mr smith? Who's Mr smith ? The nurse was clearly talking to me, but I'm not Mr smith. "Yeah, he is finally awake." I heard happiness in Marks voice. Mark didn't look at the nurse, but kept his eyes on me. When the nurse came closer, I could finally see her. She had mahogany brown hair and greenish eyes. She was really pretty. "How are you feeling Mr smith?" The nurse asked me. I wanted to say that I felt pretty good, but I could only produce an animal like noice. "He can't talk jet. Maybe you should get him something to drink." Mark sounded very friendly, but the nurse was clearly annoyed by Mark. When she was out of the room, I looked confused at Mark. "She tried to get me away from you, and I didn't listen. She doesn't like me that much. They have threatened with calling the security about four times now." Mark smiled again. "They need more than empty thread to get me away. Oh, and you're Jack smith now for a sec. We can't use our real names" I smiled, Mark smiled back.
We kept talking the whole day. I could whisper clearly now, but louder is still impossible. Mark had put two beds together, so we where laying next to each other. The annoying nurse didn't come back. Another one took her place. "How are you feeling now Jack?" Mark asked for the seventh time. "Like I said, I feel pretty good." I whispered. Mark smiled at me. He came closer and put some of my messy hair behind my ear. "This is my fault. I'm so sorry Jack." Marks voice broke. He was almost crying. "What!? No this is not your fault ! How could it be!" I scream-wispered. "You need to stay here for at least another week. I'll stay with you the whole time. The security here is pretty weak, so that won't stop me." I giggled, Mark smiled. I felt warm inside having Mark so close. I love him, I really do. I said that in my head, but I think I started blushing because Mark looked confused at me. "Jack are you sure you feel okay? You're getting a bit red. Aren't you too hot? Should I get a glass of water?" Mark already stood up when I shook my head. "No, no I'm fine." Mark sat down again. He grabbed my hand and looked me in the eyes. "I promise I will protect you. It's gonna be okay." Mark smiled and I smiled back. I'm lucky to have him.
