Trouble (Jacob Whitesides Fanfiction)

Chapter 14: Surprise.

"Ms. Black, the doctor informed be to tell you that you will be released later today." The nurse says while I walk next to her down the large hallway.

"Okay." I smile, walking past other doctors and nurses. "I'll have your boyfriend sign the papers." She says as we reach my current room.

"Boyfriend? I don't have a boyfriend?" I say confused. I walk over to the bed, sitting on it.

"I'm sure you might of just forgot. I'll be back in a little while with the papers, Hun." She says as she exists the room.

I get off the bed, walking away and looking at the ground. "I know I don't have a boyfriend." I whisper to myself.

Jacob walks through the door, holding a bag from Taco Bell.

"I had something to take care of, then I thought I'd kill some time and get some lunch." He says as he sets it on the table.

He rummages through the bag, taking out a few wrapped items.

Kill?

"I remember." I whisper, I look up at Jacob who isn't paying attention. He takes in a mouthful of a taco.

"I think I remember something." I say. He looks at me, with puffy cheeks.

He quickly swallows his food, wiping his mouth.

Jacob ushers me over to the bed.

"What?" He whispers. His eyebrow furrowed.

"I remember when.. When you told me, about your mom?" I say hesitate. His expression drops.

"At least it's something." He says, "anything else?" He questions. My body becomes cold.

"No, I don't know, no." I stutter.

"It's okay, calm down." He touches my shoulder.

"I'm sorry." I shake my head. Guilt takes me over.

"It's fine." He responds, sitting next to me on the bed.

"I shouldn't have said anything." I whisper.

"Calm down, it's fin-"

"Are you ready to go home? Oh. Am I interrupting?" The nurse stops in her tracks.

"No, you aren't interrupting." I breathe. I glance over to Jacob who is furrowing his eyebrows.

"Alrighty then, you are indeed her boyfriend?" She asks Jacob. He sends his a quick nod as he stands from the bed. His tall frame strides over to her.

"Alright, I need you to sign this." She says, handing him the clipboard and pen.

"Where do you need me to sign?" His hoarse voice echoes around the room.

"Oh! Silly me! I need you to sign your initials here, here, here and here. Sign your name here and here, then put the date here." She directs him.

He scribbles away on the paper. "Is that all?" He asks.

"That's all! Are you ready to go home?" She turns her direction to me.

"Yes." I automatically say.

"Alrighty!" She walks over to me.

"Can I take these off?" I say, pointing toward the bandage on my forehead, and the wrap around my scull.

"Let's see." She says as she undos the wrap.

"No blood. I think you'll be fine without it." She says.

I run my fingers through my hair sighing.

I glance over to Jacob as he is leaning against the wall. He has a large smile on his face.

"Ready?"

"Ready."

-

"Careful.. Careful.." Jacob walks behind me.

"I'm fine." I laugh as I walk into the living room.

"Why do we live together?" I ask, looking around the large room. There is a couch, love seat, and a single chair.

"You'll remember soon." He says closing the door. I nod, slightly agitated.

"Where is my room?" I ask, standing dumbfounded in the middle of the large living area. A smile plays on his lips.

"Try to remember." He urges. I send him a glare. His lips spread into a smile.

I look down the hallway, glancing back to Jacob. "Go ahead." He says.

I begin my journey around his house.

I slowly open the first door on my left. I glance around seeing that it is a large bathroom. I return the door to its starting position. I walk down the hallway a little more.

I open the first door on my right, a small bedroom. I step inside looking around. There seems to be none of my belongings around. I quickly retreat from the bedroom and down the hallway.

I open the second door in my right. I peak my head inside. The room is "filled" with balloons. The balloons are tied to all sorts of places around the room.

I explore the room further, spotting some of my belongings.

"Oh my gosh!" I laugh.

A large bear sits upon the bed. I climb onto the bed and lay back.

A large smile spreads onto my face.

The floor creaks. I look up, seeing Jacob in the doorway.

"Surprise."
