The Unexpected (Jacksgap FanFic)

"I need to get over her."

Jessie's POV

This is too much to take in. What? What just happened? I don't understand. My mum hugs me.

"It's okay sweetie." She says into my hair.

"I know mum, can you call Jack?" I plead.

"I don't know if that's a good idea."

"Yes it is!" I fight back.

"I'll leave you two to talk." My doctor says before walking out of the room.

"Mum just phone him." I say. "I don't know what just happened and I need him here."

She doesn't say anything. She gets out my phone and phones him for me.

"Hello, it's Jessie's mum." I hear her say.

"Yes." She nods. "She wants to you come to the hospital."

"I understand. Yes."

"That's great!"

The conversation goes on and she finally hangs up. I give her a look as if to say "well..."

"He'll be here soon." She answers my thoughts. "I'm sorry but I have to get back because I have a meeting later and I can't be late."

Leaving already? She only needs to go round the corner. Why can't my mother be here for me? I don't understand.

"Okay bye mum." I say turning round on the bed to hide my emotions.

My mind wanders to where I love the most. A place I go all the time. My imagination.

I decide to sit up and get ready for Jack coming. I flatten my hair out with my hand and wipe underneath my eyes. I hope he's okay...

I sit for an hour staring at the door, waiting for him to burst through. But he doesn't. This isn't like Jack to not show up, he's never done this to me before. Has he? Unless he's changed. I can't remember, I hate not remembering. I feel like my brain is going to explode, it probably already has.

The impact is too much.

I stand up, forgetting I have a few wires attached to me and start pacing. Getting pulled back slightly.

I sit back on the bed.

I should be allowed out of here soon, right?

The door handle shakes. I expect to see Jack, but I don't. I see Kat.

"Oh, my god!" She screams.

"Kat! You haven't seen Jack on your way have you?" I plead.

"Hurtful, you don't want to see me?" She frowns and I laugh.

"Of course I do. It's just Jack said he would be hear about an hour and a half ago."

"Oh, well I saw him. But he's angry, and I don't think he's coming."

Oh.

You're so vulnerable, Jess.

"Why is he angry?" I ask.

"You don't know?" I look at Kat confused. "You got mad at him."

"Um... Kat." I say. "You might want to know something."

She nods to tell me to continue.

"I have amnesia."

Kat sits on the bed with me and comforts me. Hugging me so tight I can't breath. But I like it. I like her supporting me like this.

She goes on to tell me everything that's went on in the past few days, weeks and months until I get to a point I can remember.

"So my mum lives in Scotland?" I question after she's finished.

"Yeah."

"That's why she had to leave..."

"Well I'll go get you some hot chocolate from Starbucks down the street." She breathes. "Let everything set in."

So me and Jack aren't together? My heart sinks at the thought and I ponder to myself.

Kat's POV

The que for Starbucks is long but I wait in it anyway.

I sigh, I'm very impatient. I see a familiar face though and I get drawn towards them.

"So you get told to go to te hospital to see Jess but don't show up?"

"What?" He asks confused.

"Don't play games with me." I say. "You may have Jess around your little finger but not me."

His clothes look like they haven't been washed, his hair looks greasy and he looks stressed. I've never seen him like this.

"I didn't get told to go to the hospital."

Lying son of a-

"Then why are you here?"

"I was going to visit her anyway."

It might be the bags under his eyes or the sadness in them, but I think he's telling the truth.

"And I'm sorry about everything, can we just put it behind us-"

"Yeah." He says. "Well I've already got Jessie a hot chocolate so you don't need to."

Jack walks off out of the shop.

"Oh yeah, and what kiss?"

Relief washes over me. Does that mean I'm forgiven? He's going to forget about it?

Thank god.

I stand back in the que for myself with a grin on my face, satisfied.

Jack's POV

The lump in my throat has finally cleared away. A weight off my shoulders is gone and I feel slightly, happier?

No, I don't.

Now I just need to make sure Jess is okay? I find myself wondering.

Is it love she feels towards me? Hate? I don't know. But I do know that whatever she felt towards me earlier was anger.

I make my way to the lift in the lobby and press floor number 3. She was in ward 25 in the women's ward. My heart starts to beat faster as the lift doors open.

I drag my feet, making them scuff, to the door and open it.

"Jack?" Is all she says. Looking at me with wide eyes.

I swallow hard before speaking, processing my words.

"I brought you some hot chocolate." I smile and walk towards her, shutting the door and sitting on the chair opposite the bed.

We both sit in silence, I don't know if Jess feels the awkwardness but I do. It's going to kill me. I need to make things right, in my head and in her own.

"Jack?" She repeats.

"Yeah." I smile at her.

"When you were gone, the doctor came." Her smile gone.

"What is it?" Panic runs through my vains and I feel all flushed and heated up.

She pauses for what seems like forever. "I have amnesia." She looks down to her feet. "I feel like I've said that too much now."

I instantly get up and sit next to her. Wrapping my arms around her and rocking her back and forth gently to calm her down.

I hear a faint whisper come out of her.

"So in my head right now I love you, but in my up-to-date mind I don't?"

"I don't know Jessica, I really don't know what went on inside your head." I reply.

But I do know one thing, one thing that I can't mention until she gets her memory back, if she does.

I need to get rid of the pain she brings me.

I need to get over her.
