Show Me Love (The Wanted)

Chapter Thirteen

~

☆Jordyn's POV☆

~

When feeling began coming back into my body, it felt as though I was floating. My body was frozen. There was no pain and I couldn't feel anything or move or hear.

It felt as if I was in a heavy, deep sleep.

Then, the feeling slowly came back.

First at the core of my stomach. But it spread down to my feet and my head.

Suddenly, it was like drowning.

My breath caught and I could breathe. It felt as though I was being sucked underwater.

As soon as I was under, the pain in my body hit me like a bus. My eyes snapped awake. My head was pounding to the point that it was unbearable. It was ten times worse than a hangover.

I looked around. I felt paralyzed. Like if I moved my body, the pain would worsen.

"Jordyn's awake, guys!" Someone called. I groaned as the noise amplified in my ears and made my head hurt even more.

"W-what happened?" I asked as five boys swarmed me in hugs and saying how worried they were.

"You were kidnapped and beaten by a gang. Beat up pretty bad, too. But don't worry, you'll heal soon." Nathan explained.

Flashes of events from when I was kidnapped came, but I didn't fully remember everything.

"Thank goodness you're okay, Jordyn! None of us have slept this past week!" Tom said. I noticed the bags under everyone's eyes.

"I'm okay... what's the damage?" I asked.

"Well, the worst injury is in your stomach. The doctor suspects you were stabbed by a sharp weapon. You have quite a number of stitches there." Max told me. I nodded. I was glad I was wearing a hospital gown. I would probably get sick if I saw the injury.

"They beat you up real good, too. You've got a mild concussion, bruises all over, and a broken leg." Siva chimed in.

A flash of when one of them stabbed me came back. I shivered, remembering the pain. Then, I was saved. Blotches of black were spotted across my vision as I had fallen unconscious.

"I... I think I remember some of this." I said, trying hard to concentrate.

"Don't stress. They put the whole gang in jail. Why didn't you tell us that strange number was texting you? And why would you ever meet with those strangers? They're murderers, burglars, and drugatics!" Nathan lectured. "You should have come to us the minute you got that text."

"I was just trying to keep you guys safe. I knew the games they played. Jake's dad was from that gang. They were trying to recruit me." I said.

"Still, Jordyn. You had us all worried sick."

"I'm sorry, guys. I really am. But I'll be fine." I assured.

"You're beat up bad. Will you be able to travel around with us?" Siva asked.

"Yes." I said almost immediately. "Don't make me go back to Gloucester. Please. I'm begging you."

"Don't worry. We wouldn't do that." Tom assured me. I nodded and he smiled sympathetically.

"So... how are you feeling now?" Nathan asked me.

"I feel... fine." I lied.

All five of them crossed their arms at the same time.

"Okay... the numbness is wearing off just a little bit..."

They just continued staring at me.

"Stop staring at me like that." I frowned.

"Hun, you have to tell us if you're in pain so we can help you." Siva told me. I sighed.

"Fine."

"I'll go get the doctor. Do you want some food or drink?" Nathan asked me.

"I could go for some water and a Caeser salad." I smiled.

"Ooh, I'm hungry too." Max said.

"Me too." Jay added.

"Alright, I guess we're all going to the cafeteria?" Siva laughed.

"Do you want anything, Tom?" Nathan asked him.

"Nah, I'm good." He replied.

Nathan, Siva, Max, and Jay all left. I was pretty sure they completely forgot that they were supposed to get the doctor for me, but oh well.

"So... Jordyn, listen, I'm sorry I was being such a big jerk. You didn't deserve that, I know. I was being selfish and stupid. Please forgive me?" Tom asked me, kneeling down beside the bed.

"No, I'm the one who should be apologizing. I was just in shock when you asked me. I didn't really mean to say no... it's just that... I've noticed the fans really liked your ex, Kelsey. I thought maybe you were still into her." I confessed.

"I'm not gonna lie, I once did love her. But she broke up with me for someone else four months ago. At first I missed her, but I realized that we broke up so I could find someone better." He explained to me.

"Oh." I smiled.

"Jordyn, would you like to go on a date with me?"

"Of course I would, Tom." I nodded. His face lit up like a little kid and he smiled.

I cheered in my head.

I, Jordyn Isabella Jaxon-Sykes, had a date with Tom Parker.
