Adopted by Jennifer Lawrence

Chapter 82

Jen's POV

To my surprise I actually managed to enjoy Christmas. It was short lived due to press starting but my family understands my demanding line of work. Katie went back to New York and is far from pleased about my defying what she had to say about Darren. I understand she's just being protective but sometimes she needs to back off.

Scarlett has started school and has been enjoying it from what I can gather. I was worried about bullying happening but she seems happy. I'm at home till tomorrow, preparing for press then Piper is one of the security team being sent with me on press which I'm really happy about in all honesty.

My train of thought comes crashing down however when I slip on the drenched bathroom floor. Slamming my right arm off the floor I yell in pain and look down at my weirdly angled arm. The pain is immense and I can't do anything about it, I'm stuck here unable to move without the pain becoming worse.

My body is covered from the waist down with my shorts but I hadn't quite gotten around to putting a top on yet so I'm a bit screwed if someone does come to my aid.

Just as that thought passes through my mind I'm rudely given the reality when the door swings open and Piper runs in but ends up in the same situation but not as seriously.

Her back slams off the floor and she yells profanities in anger at herself.

"Agh my god," She forces herself upright rubbing her lower back as I crane my head upright to make sure she hasn't suffered any serious injuries.

"Oh shit," She slips and slides her way upright when she sees my arm but quickly covers her eyes when she notices my uncovered top half.

"Seriously?" I sigh at her mannerisms with a smile through the pain.

"Yeah," She kneels down fumbling her way over to my hand and helping me up. Wrapping her arm around my bare waist she helps me into the bedroom and sits me on the end of the bed, all without opening her eyes.

"You don't have to close your eyes," I chuckle at her but regret it soon after when the pain shoots through me.

"Believe me I do," She smiles turning to walk over to the closet and grab me a top.

Returning with a black t-shirt she once again firmly closes her eyelids and helps my working arm into the sleeve but when she gets to my other arm however...

"Does that feel like my arm?" I ask her in an awkward tone and her face becomes embarrassed.

"No," She smiles awkwardly.

"Well then maybe you should let it go," I suggest to her.

"Good idea," She nods doing as told.

Successfully getting the top on she opens her eyes again when I give her the all clear.

"What happened?" She asks me as she helps me downstairs to the car.

"I slipped on the water just like you did," I smirk back and she chuckles opening the front door.

"This should be fun," She comments as we walk down the steps.

"What should?" I ask curiously.

"The emergency room," She explains.

"Oooh," I understand what she means.

Piper's POV

By the time I'd gotten Jennifer through the emergency room and Home, she's drugged up and saying whatever comes to mind. It's amusing in all honesty but it does make a person nervous.

She lacks the full mobility of her legs so I resort to lifting her up. It's no problem to me, she's light as a feather and I workout for situations like this. Might as well put my muscles to work.

She makes a sound that's somewhere between a squeal of happiness and a squeal of fear just as she grabs onto my neck holding it tightly.

"Calm Down it's fine," I chuckle bringing her upstairs to her room. The doctor said to get her to rest and make sure she eats so basically I'm stuck here all night. I don't mind it though it's not like I've got plans, I'll be back here in the morning anyway no matter what.

"Do you need help getting changed or am I not needed on that front anymore?" I ask her as I sit her down on the side of the bed.

"I'll just sleep in this," She murmurs tiredly.

"Okay well if you need me I'll be downstairs," I nod to her.

"Piper wait can I ask you something?" She stops me and I grow nervous.

"Yeah sure what is it?" I ask her and force myself to sit down beside her.

"Why did you keep your eyes closed when I said it was fine?" She asks and I'm taken off guard. What the fuck am I meant to say to that, the truth just sounds weird but I haven't got any other answer.

"I uh well I..." I'm not quite sure what to say.

"I've got all night Piper," She smiles and I chuckle awkwardly before forcing the answer out.

"The answer may put my job in danger," I look down nervously.

"I assure you it won't," She places her hand on my back.

"Well you're- you're... You're fuckin hot," I blurt it causing her to giggle.

"Thanks," She smiles.

"No problem," I nod standing up.

"I'm gonna go downstairs call me if you need me," I tell her and she smiles nodding.

As I'm walking out she bids me goodbye with a smile.

"Bye Jennifer," I chuckle closing the door.

Fuck my life.
