Karen's POV

3 days later

I sat on my bed, bored out of my mind. I had been released from the hospital a few hours ago. My parents had specifically told Jacky and Jeylin to not let me move from my bed, only to use the restroom which I had to be 'supervised'. I thought Jacky and Jeylin werent going to take them serious so I laughed it off until I realized they were actually taking them serious. If I even moved an inch, I would get scolded. It was ridiculous. Right now, Jeylin and Jacky were getting groceries. They measured around me to make sure i didn't move a centimeter. I grabbed my phone from beside me and checked the time. It was 4:30 pm. I sighed and unlocked my phone. No messages. The boys havent contacted me since the day they went up to my hospital room to visit me. Jeylin had told me that that same day they had a lot of missed calls from their manager since they had missed the meeting they were suppose to attend and when they finally answered the manager yelled at them. It made me feel guilty. They had tried to explain but their manager wouldnt hear it and they had to immediately rush back home. I had send Jonah a couple of messages but he never replied. I locked my phone and put it on my lap. I grabbed my laptop and opened it up. I pressed the space bar and the Hannah Montana theme song started playing. I was watching old episodes because that's the only thing I could do that wouldn't get me in trouble. I began drifting off but then my phone began vibrating.
"Hello?"
"Karen!"
"Jack?"
"Yea its me haha I miss you. Are you home from the hospital yet?"
"Yes I've been home for a couple hours now."
"Great Can I come over?"
"Um sure but I cant move so I cant open the door and im pretty sure they're all locked."
"Its okay Ill find a way in. See you soon."
He hanged up. I turned off my laptop. Finally someone I could talk to. After a few minutes, there was a knock on my window. I slowly got up even though I knew the girls were going to get mad at me. I walked toward the window and saw a curly headed boy, trying not to fall. He had climbed up a big tree that was beside my bedroom window. I opened it up. He hopped in and closed the window behind him. He turned and smiled at me.
"Hey"
"Shh" he said and picked me up.
"What the-"
"This was sort of like a test Jacky told me you were going to be home alone and that you couldn't move from the bed. You failed the test because you moved."
He placed me on the bed and took off his white converse. He walked to the opposite side and layed down next to me, putting his arm around me.
"How were you going to enter if I didnt stand up to open the window?"
"That is a great question which i dont have an answer to"
I laughed and he smiled.
"How are you?"
"I've been pretty tired. We left the hospital after Jonah left your room because of band stuff and we've been at meetings all day for the last two days. Today we finally got a break."
"You deserve that break because you really do look tired."
"Being a part of the band is tiring but i love it. I love being surrounded by the rest of the guys and I love our fans. Theyre the reason we became a band "
"Where are the rest of the boys?"
"They went shopping."
"Oh my god, Jack Robert Avery didn't go shopping with his best friends? He didnt go to buy new clothes. I thought he liked new stuff." I asked, overexagerating.
"I do but I didnt feel like going today and besides I wanted to check up on you." He said pinching my cheek.
"That's so sweet of you but you didnt have to check up on me."
"I know i didnt have to but I wanted to."
"Well alrighty then"
I yawned.
"Want to take a nap together?" He asked.
"That sounds amazing"
Jack stood up to move my laptop and phone. He helped me get under the covers and then he slipped in. I didn't have a big bed so we were pretty squished. My head was resting on his chest. I could hear his heart beating. We shut our eyes. Jack started softly humming. I smiled.
This felt nice.

I have an important question to ask. Do you ship Karen with Jonah or Jack?
