Don't Let Go (Sequel to Hold On JackABoy)

Chapter 13- Backer Acted

Jacks POV

My eyes slowly open bringing fourth the throbbing pain in my head. "Whoa" I mumble as the blurry world comes into focus. I look up to see Jade and...Mark. "So it wasn't a dream" I whisper looking down at the dull hospital blanket covering my body. I sigh and look up to Jade. "I don't want him here." I say without glancing over at Mark.

After a few seconds I hear him take a deep breath in and begin to walk towards the open door. I see him stop in my pereferal vision. "I'll be out here" he says before continuing out the door. 

"How long?" I ask "how long have I been out" I say coldly looking at the door that Mark had just walked out of.

"Just a day." She answered back, as a tall blond man in a white coat walked in.
"Good evening Mr. McLoughlin I am Doctor Spien." He said while checking my bed chart. He walked over to me and pulled out this little silver flash light and clicked it, he then lifted up my eyelids with no warning and checked my eyes. He pulled away and began to write more on the chart.
"Any dizziness? Feeling of nausea? Anything you're concerned about?"  He asked as I tried to blink away the blindspots from the light.

"No not yet." I replied looking down at the blanket.
He reached down and grabbed my arm from under the blanket. My eyes widened as I saw how much gauze was around my wrist and the blotchy red stains.
I could feel my wrist throbbing and yelped as he tilted it, a stinging pain ran up my arm.
"That hurt?" He asked while hitting the nurse button.
"We have to change the gauze and check the stitches." He began as a nurse walked in.

"Ah Maggie can you change this lads gauze?" He asked as she nodded. I winced as she pulled the gauze off my tender skin revealing 4 stitched lines in my skin. They were ugly, not like the ones before where they try to make it pretty, the skin didn't  match up properly. The doctor must have noticed my disgust with the stitches.
"A paramedic had to do that, you would've died in the ambulance if they didn't act fast. We can correct the stitches if you'd like, however they have already began to heal so if we redo them it could risk more scar tissue and the healing process will be longer."

I close my eyes and try to take everything in, it's not exactly over whelming, I'm more in a neutral state and I don't feel like talking. I just want to sleep, but I'm not tired. I want the luxury of sleep without actually being asleep.

I wince at the stinging of my arm moving against the new gauze which pulls me out of my thoughts. The nurse was gone and the doctor was looking down at me. I look at Jade and she's looking at me too, I think he said something..

I clear my throat. "W-what?" I asked looking back at the doctor.
"This is serious Sean, you almost died." He stammered. Yeah I wish.. I looked back up for him to finish.
"While you were out I spoke with Jade and she decided that it is in your best interest to be backer acted for a while." My eyes widened as he finished.
I looked up at Jade. "Why would y-" I began as the doctor cut me off. "Sean look at your wrist, you did that.. and you did that because you only saw someone you don't like. You need help Sean.."
"I do not need help, it was an accident." I muttered.
"An accident that almost costed you your life." He retorted.
"Please Jack do it for me." Jade chimed in (wth haven't you people ever heard of closing the goddamn door!ok sorry had too)
I looked up into her emerald eyes and sighed. "But what about our vacation I don't want to ruin it." I looked down at my hands.

"Jack look at me." She said in a voice just above a whisper. I looked back up at her. "Your mental health is more important to me than a silly vacation" she smiled. I tried to give her a broken smile as my dick doctor butt in, "Listen to your friend Mr McLoughlin" he said with sympathy.

I looked straight ahead at the door one more time and took a deep breath in.
"Ok.."
