Show Me Love (The Wanted)

Chapter Sixteen

☆Jordyn's POV☆

"It's great to be out of the hospital." I sighed as I lay on the couch of the hotel suite. My broken leg was elevated up on Tom's lap and my head was in Nathan's lap.

"I'm glad you're out too. How do you feel?" Tom asked.

"Kind of tired. When are we leaving Los Angeles?" I asked in reply.

"Tomorrow. Anywhere else you wanna visit before we leave?" Nathan asked me.

"There's this cute little ice cream shop I used to go to all the time. I wonder if it's still there." I said.

"What's it called?" Max asked. Him, Siva, and Jay were fighting over what to put on the television.

"Uh... I honestly don't remember. But I know where it is." I said, sitting up.

"Careful, Jordyn. Your side is still stitched up and we don't need you ripping your stitches again." Tom told me. I sighed and nodded. They treated me like I was crippled.

Okay, maybe I kind of was, but still. I wasn't a baby.

"Alright, let's go for a ride!"

☆Tom's POV☆

"This is the best ice cream I have ever had!" I cheered, licking the cone. The shop allowed you to double up any combination of flavors you wanted. I chose mint chocolate chip and black raspberry swirled together with rainbow sprinkles on top.

It tasted better than it sounded.

Jordyn looked like she was in heaven, eating her strawberry and vanilla swirled cone.

"I bet this place brings back memories," Siva said to her. She nodded.

"I really liked this place. It was a good getaway too." She replied.

"Seems so. And yet you get such boring flavors." Jay complained.

"Boring? What do you mean?" She asked in an offensive tone.

"Try... birthday cake mixed with orange créme. Or brownie and cheesecake!" Max laughed.

"Eww! Those sound disgusting." She scrunched up her nose.

"But they're fun!" Jay added.

"I like my traditional strawberry and vanilla, thank you very much." She said confidently.

"Aw, we didn't mean it like that, Jordyn. Just... take an exit off the normal highway. You're one of us now. You'll need to get used to not being normal." Max said, crossing his arms.

We all laughed, finishing our ice creams.

"My side hurts." Jordyn frowned. I placed her tea down on the coffee table and picked up the pain medication pills.

"This says to take two every eight hours. Do you know if it's been right hours?" I asked, reading the label.

"Yeah. I took one before we left for ice cream." She nodded.

It was about three in the morning and everyone else was asleep. I had gotten up to use the bathroom and decided to check on Jordyn.

She was awake and so I made her tea.

"You don't have to stay down here. The bed is much more comfortable." Jordyn told me. I had brought down my comforter and pillow.

"It's fine. If I don't have a good rest then I can sleep on the flight back to London tomorrow." I smiled, setting up on the other side of the couch. She smiled back at me, taking her pills.

"Thank you, Tom."

"Anything for you, love. Now go to sleep." I said, kissing her forehead and then snuggling into the armrest and drifting off to sleep.

I was just on the edge of being awake and asleep when Jordyn whispered my name. My eyes snapped open and I saw her looking at me with teary eyes.

"What's wrong, love?" I asked worriedly.

"I'm afraid of that gang... there's members they didn't find. I'm afraid they'll find me and hurt the people I love." She cried.

"Jordyn, darling, everything will be okay. We'll protect you. You have nothing to worry about. I promise. They won't hurt you or anyone you love ever again." I vowed.

"Tom, they're dangerous people."

"I know. Just relax. It isn't good for you to stress out so much. I will protect you. No matter what, okay? Now go to sleep." I promised. She wiped her eyes and nodded.

"Goodnight, Tom."

"Goodnight, beautiful."
