Lost and Insecure: Janoskians Fan Fic

Chapter 24

JESS’S POV

Jai arrived at quarter to four, dad arrived not long afterwards. I told Jai about all of the nice things people were saying to me all over the internet, it made me feel good. Jai helped me into the car, and we drove to the hospital. Physical Therapy was hard, it was really hard. I got frustrated and upset it was so difficult, but by the end of the hour I could stand up by myself, this also meant I could sit on couches and get onto my bed on my own. It wasn’t much, it disappointed me but I couldn’t do anything about it. The doctor said I only needed a session every second day, so I wouldn’t have to go back until Sunday. When we got home I wheeled myself to my room and sat on my bed, it was so satisfying to be able to finally do it for myself. ‘So what do you want to do tomorrow?’ Jai asked sitting with his legs crossed opposite me on my bed. ‘I’d love to buy some more clothes.’

‘Cool, Beau can give us a lift to the shops tomorrow.’ Jai replied with a grin.

‘No.’ I said shaking my head. ‘I’m going to shop online I’m not going out.’ I said.

‘Why not?’ Jai asked holding my hand.

‘Because, I’m ugly.’ I sighed, it was hard to say, but it was the truth. I felt hideous in my back brace; I didn’t feel close to beautiful, but that wasn’t all, my nose was blue with bruising, along with my right cheek bone from the punch. A scar stretched from next to my left eye to my jaw, that’s where my head smashed against the wall. I felt absolutely hideous. ‘Jess, you’re beautiful. That back brace, the scars and the bruises, they doesn’t matter. You’re perfect.’ I smiled a little, it made me feel better but I still didn’t want to go out, not like this. Jai grabbed out his phone, he took a picture of me, ‘What are you doing?’ I asked giggling.

‘Nothing,’ Jai replied tapping away at his phone.

‘Whatever,’ I said laughing, he was up to something.

‘I’m going home; call me if you change your mind. Love you.’ Jai gave me a kiss on the forehead and walked away. Physical Therapy had made me so tired; I got back into my chair and went to the kitchen. Dad was already making dinner, ‘Awesome, I’m so hungry.’ I said lifting myself onto a chair.

‘I had a feeling you’d be hungry.’ Dad said, putting a plate in front of me.

‘I’m going to go to bed straight after this.’ I said in between showing my face full of food.

‘I’m not surprised, you worked really hard today.’ Dad cleared all of the dishes once we had finished, ‘Sleep well darling,’ he said, I couldn’t get changed, so I just went to sleep in my clothes. I was way too embarrassed to ask for help. Dad already had to help my have a bath.  

JAI’S POV

I left Jess’s house and walked home. I put the photo on Tumblr, I captioned it ‘How many reblogs for this beautiful & brave girl. Hopefully it would get some notes, Jess needed to get out and have some fun. It started getting notes straight away, it was excited, and hopefully it would work.

-The next day-

I woke up to the buzzing of my phone, I groaned as I rolled over to pick it up. ‘Hello?’ I answered sleepily.

‘Hey babe thanks. And if you’re still up for it I’d love to go shopping.’ I smiled; I did it I thought to myself. ‘What time are you guys gonna pick me up?’ I looked at the clock; it was 10:30.

‘We’ll be there in half an hour,’ I replied getting out of bed.

‘Okay, see you then,’ Jess said before she hung up the phone. I walked into the living room; Luke and Beau were sitting watching the TV. ‘Morning sleeping beauty,’ Beau joked. ‘Are we still going into the city today?’ he asked. I took a seat on the couch, ‘Yeah, will you be ready to leave in half an hour?’ I asked.

‘I think the question is will you be ready to go in half an hour.’ Luke remarked, pointing out the fact that I was still in my pyjamas. I stood up and rushed to start getting ready, I put on maroon jeans and matched them with a maroon beanie and Luke’s Ryan Sheckler top. I threw on my white vans and had some cereal. After 20 minutes I was all organised, so I joined the boys watching some TV.

BEAU’S POV

I was a little nervous, this was the first time I was going to be seeing Jess since the accident, well I’d seen her once but she was unconscious so I don’t really think that counts. We hoped into the car and headed to Jess’s house, I knew what to expect, but it was still a shock.
