Jorydn's POV
Me and Aaron sit in silence, watching Nates chest go up and down as many different machines beeped around him. I just couldn't believe it. How could this happen to Nate? And out of all people, why him? Why me? Why did I have to care for this boy so much? I want to let him go, but I just latch back onto the feelings that were once there.
''Okay, Jordyn, he's fine. We should probably go now.'' I shook my head as Aaron stood up, motioning towards the door.
''No, I wanna stay until he wakes up''. He rolled his eyes. He was pissed but was trying to hide it. Nothing a person who gets nothing but his way isn't used to doing.
''Jordyn, they said he was fine. I made dinner reservations. We need to go now or we will lose it''. I looked up at Aaron, a sour look on my face.
''Aaron, I want to stay with him. Fuck your reservations he needs me right now. He was the only one there for me when I was in the hospital, this is the right thing to do. I just, I care about him''. His jaw clenched and he bawled his fist. I could basically picture the steam coming from his ears.
''What the fuck! After all the people i hurt just to get you to myself, and you go and wait around for someone who doesnt give a fuck about you! He doesnt care! I got rid of everyone standing inmy way, Nate just didnt go as easy! Dammit!'' I scrunched my eyebrows in total confusion. Got rid of who?
''Aaron''. I stood up slowly, walking up to him, whispering. ''What are you talking about?'' He chuckeld. Not a little cute one, but a psycotic one when you should get hint to run.
''You think you've just been having bad luck with these guys?'' I stood silent and he laughed hysterically. ''Ha! Man, Jordyn! How stupid can you be? I've alwasy wanted you. I need you. I tried flattering you with money, gifts, and sex, but it never worked! You always just went back to some other dude though, so i had to, eliminate, them. I had to kill Wyatt, drug Cameron, and I almost killed Nate. But he just wouldnt go''. Stumbling back, tears filled my eyes as i saw the moster behind the mask.
''Aaron how could you?'' He shook his head, smiling as he tooko another step towards me.
''It's okay,Jordyn. Im doing it all for you. I even got you your sister. I knew how bad you wanted her''. He lookd like a crazy man, but it all seem to fit, it all clicked.
''Y-you killed her parent?'' Gasping, I tried running but Aaron grabbed my arm, yanking me back towards him.
''You're not going anywhere, bitch!'' I tried to scream but he covered my mouth as i began to kick and scream. butu he was way to strong for me.Biting down on his hand, he pulled his hadn away from my face, yelling in anger and pain. I ran to the other side of the side of the room and stared at Aaron. ''Oh, you're gonna get it''. He hopped over Nates lifeless body and pinned my to the wall with one hand to my neck. Reaching up, tried to pull his arm away, but his gripped was too strong. ''Bitch!'' He slapped me across my face and held a tighter grip on my neck.
''Freeze''. A voice boomed from the doorway and Aaron looked away. Quickly, i kicked him in the balls and we both fell to the floor. I gasped for air trying to catch my breath.
''It's okay, you're safe now''. I looked up to see a lady cop standing above mw. Her hair was hanging ovr her face as she breathed as heavy me.
''H-hwo did you guys know''. She helped me up and sat me in a chair as another male took a handcuffed Aaron out the door.
''Well, you guys werent exactly being quiet. So after we heard all the yelling, we rushed her as soon as we could''. I nodded as to thank her and she just smiled at me then looked at Nate. ''Boyfriend?'' I shook my head as a look of confusuion spread across her face. ''That's not what it seemed like''.
''What do you mean?'' The lady cop dug into her back pocket and pulled out a ripped photo.
''I was at the scene of crime where your friend was shot. And i found this in his car''. She handed the picture to me and i examined it closely. It was me. It was a picture of me with a heart around my face. I flipped to the back and quickly read the writing.
I will get her back, no matter what it takes.
''I know that im not supposed to take anything, buut i really just couldnt help myself. Just dont tell''. I shook my head and chuckled as tears formed in my eyes.I did not deserve this boy.
''Thank you''. She nodded, rubbingmy back then walking towards the door and walking out. I looked down at the picture, studing it. Laughing to myself, i noticed it was from one of the first noghts we met. I forgot my things at his work and he brought mw them, along with Baffilo Wild Wings. Smiling nig as possible, I cruled up in teh chair waiting or Nate to wake up.
Nates POV
Rubbing my eyes i sat up in an unfimiliar room. Looking around at all the machines, i immidiatly reconized it was the hostpital. Damn my head hurts. Looking around again, i noticed one more thing. Jordyn was in the corner of the room sitting in a chair, fast asleep. I felt a smile spread across my face. Throwing my legs across the bed, i stopped as i felt the pain in my torso. Looking down, i noticed wrapp around my torso. Oh right, i did get shot. Getting up slowly, i walked over to Jordyn and stroked a piece of of hair that hung over her face. She looked so pieceful. Suddnely, i noticed somthing being held close to her chest. It was my picture, she found it. Man, looking at her once more, i thanked God for her. Damn, i sure did miss her.
''Nate?'' Her eyes crack open and she looked at me with surprise in her eyes.
''Yes princess?'' She smiled widly and jumped up, hugging me. I jumped back, wincing back at the pain of my bullot wound. ''Im so sorry''. She looked worried as she examined my torso. I chuckled as she made sure tha ti was okay.
''Dont worry baby girl, im all good now''. She smiled up at me.
''Well, it great to see that you're up and moving''. Looking up quickly, a doctor in the doorway.
''Um. Ya''. He laughed as i backed away from Jordyn and walked back over to the bed.
''So, uh. Mr. Maloley. Checking your charts, we have noticed that you have made a quick recovery. Now, we would like to keep you another night just to make sure you are doing okay, but we can send you home if you have someone to look after you constantly''. I instantly looked at Jordyn who wasnt even paying attention.
''Huh?''
***********************************
''Common, just sit here''. Jordyn helped me over to her couch and i sat back taking a deep breath.
''Uh, Jorydn. Who's this?'' We both looked up to see Isabelle at the top of the stairs. She was beautiful, but nothing compared to Jordyn.
''My, uh, friend. Nate. He got shot so im gonna take car of him for a few days until he gets better and he is able to move around by himself without getting hurt. Where are you going?'' She nodded, slinging a backpack around her shoulder.
''I told you, im going to my adopted aunts, there having a get together. Her number is on the counter''.
''Okay. Bye Izzy, love you''. Jordyn waved her good-bye as Isabelle blew her a kiss back and shut the door.
After the door shut, Jordyn looked at me. ''Hungry?'' I nodded. I actually was starving consdiering i havent even in a gazillioin years!
''Great, so what do you want. I order Chinese, pizza,-''
''Nah, Jordyn. Id rather have you''.
