There's A Hope Waiting In The Dark

Chapter Four

Logan's POV

I heard the gunshot. Aubrey said he had a gun and all I could think about was is she hurt. I jumped passed the police officers and ran into the apartment screaming for Jess and she laid there on the bed we a bullet in her arm and Jason shot in the chest. I ran to her and picked her up into my arms and rubbed her back and kept telling her " it's okay Jess, it's all over. It's done. You're okay. You're going to live." She put her hands around my neck and pull her lips to my ear and said " Jessica Michelle Allen" The paramedics take her into a ambulance and told me only the significant other or family members could ride and she told them I was her boyfriend. But I told them I would drive to the hospital so my car and her stuff didn't get stolen and so when she got out of the hospital she never had to come back to this place.

I get to the hospital and run in the ER to the front desk and said " my girlfriend was brought by ambulance she was shot in the arm where is she?" And the lady behind the desk said " They're not here yet. Sir if you could sit in the wai-" I interrupted her " WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S NOT HERE YET!?" I yelled as I heard paramedics rolling in a new patient I heard them say " this is Jessica Allen, she's 21, healthy, stable, bullet in left arm." I ran to her holding her hand as they told me I could go any farther that if I wanted her to be able to use her arm I had to let her go. So I let go and told her I loved her.

Damn it Henderson. Why? Why! Why do you do this to yourself. "She only loves you because you're famous." A voice in my head said. No. She doesn't just love me because I'm famous. I'm her hero. I saved her from an abusive relationship. I sat in the waiting room for 4 hours and the doctor walked out and said " Ms.Allen's family please meet me in the conference room please." Aubrey was here with me and we both walked in the conference room. Both of us terrified at what he'd say. We sit down and shake the doctors hand. " She is now out of surgery. Her arm was hit in a major muscle but she's lucky the bullet didn't fracture. We saved her entire arm and she should recover perfectly fine." I felt the weight on my shoulders lift. Aubrey just sighed and thanked the doctor. " When can I- we see her" I said. I kinda had forgotten Aubrey in the room. " We can go hook you both up with visitor passes and you can see her now she's resting and needs to sleep she will be here for a 2-3 days to make sure everything's on the right track for healing before she can leave but you can come and go as you please." The doctor said. We got visitor passes and the led us to the main hospital where she was because she had been admitted. He knocks on the door and opens it. I walk in first and her eyes light up. Aubrey ran in behind saying " Oh Jess we should have gotten you away from him sooner I'm so sorry love." Aubrey was holding her hand sitting next to her and she told Aubrey in a faint voice that it was okay. Aubrey asked if I wanted anything to drink while she went to the cafeteria to get something to eat. I declined, I had lost my appetite. I sat down where Aubrey was and brushed Jess's hair out of her face because it was annoying her. I tucked it behind her ears and kissed her on the forehead. Mine touching hers now. I whispered " Please move in with me and never move out. We can be friends, best friends, significant others, I don't care just let me protect you." Her hand grabbed mine and she said " If you promise to protect me I'll promise to love you forever and never leave.

"Jess there's just one thing about promises." I said. Our fingers now intertwined. My forehead still on hers. She raised an eyebrow at me.

"Promises are made to be broken. Give me your word and I'll do whatever you want." I sighed kissing her forehead again now sitting next to her. Our fingers still intertwined. "Logan" She said. God I still love the way she says my name. " Yes, Jess?" I said. " I give you my word that if you protect me I will never leave you and love you forever." She said running out of breath. My smile must have been very big showing my dimples because she giggled and told me " your dimples are the cutest thing on the face of the planet."

We sat there and learned a lot about each other for three days. I never left the hospital. I took a shower in her room. Which was nasty because I hate hospitals... but I didn't want to leave her.

Jessica's POV

"Alright Ms.Allen you can leave. Just make sure you bathe and not shower that wound still needs to heal a bit more before you can shower. You will start therapy in a week preferably if that's okay." The doctor said. I glance over at Logan who is memorizing everything the doctor is saying and he looks at me and smiles. I change into some of my clothes Logan got out of one of my suitcases. We left the hospital and went to McDonalds and got ice cream to make me feel better. I got a ice cream cone because I can't eat a sundae or really use my left arm much. I didn't want to distract Logan from driving either. The entire car ride home he held my fingers of my left arm be my arm was all bandaged up. He helped me into the house and up stairs.

I plopped down on the couch and began watching BTR because it makes me happy and I didn't really want to watch anything else. Logan stood at the door watching me watch him act. He could see I was blushing because he's adorable. He cleared his throat, walked in and sat next to me. He sat on my right side so he could pull me to him so he could protect me. I loved it. We watched BTR Logan recited his lines as the show went on. Our heading laying on each other's. The BTR marathon ended. Logan looked at me rubbing my back asking " Are you hungry?". I rubbed my head in his neck kinda waking myself up from a little nap and said " I only ate hospital food for three days... I'm starving!" My comment made him laugh showing his dimples which made me smile.

We walk down stairs and he helps me up to the breakfast bar he walks to the other said and leans over and rests his head in his hands, just looking at me. I try to do the same but when a bullet comes in contact with your left arm it's a little hard. So I just do it with my right. He giggles and kisses my cheek.

After dinner we go back upstairs to the couch in my room and watch many movies to where it's 1 in the morning.

Logan's POV

I love that I'm going to be able to get used to her living with me. Watching tv with her. Eating dinner with her. Going shopping and hanging and doing whatever with her. Long as I'm accompanied by her I don't care. She snuggles up to me on the couch and lays her head on my shoulder as we watch movies I lean over and kiss the top of her head. Jess looks up at me with sleepy eyes and places her chin on my shoulder just smiling. I haven't been this close to her face since I seen her in the hospital.

Do it Henderson. Kiss her. What are you waiting for?!

I gave in to the voice. I leaned and put my forehead on hers and kissed her. Fireworks shot through my body. At first she tried rejecting the kiss but I put my hand on her face holding her to me and she stopped fighting it and kissed me back. I have never felt this feeling before. Not even my first kiss. It sent shivers down my spine. I love her and she is the one for me.

Jessica's POV

I was almost asleep with my head on Logan's shoulder. He kissed the top of my head and I just wanted to ask why me? Why does he want me? He could have any girl but he's choosing me. I look up at him and he leans in to KISS ME. I was in shock trying to process the guy I have LOVED for 3 years is kissing me. I tried to pull out of the kiss to question him. But he held me to his lips and I stopped fighting enjoying that the Logan Henderson wanted me and only me.

"Jess, I am so sor-" he said before I interrupted. " Logan, don't be sorry. I loved it." I said as I kissed cheek and rubbed my nose of his neck. I could tell it turned him on or something because he like out a quiet moan. I could tell he was trying to hide it from me.
