Jimmy's POV:
"Haley...." I cough out as she hugs me tight. Chloe and Rachel are behind her as Max comes around to look at me. Somehow we are in front of Chloes house.
"Jimmy, what happened?" Then I blacked out.
Haley's POV:
I'm gonna kill him. I'm gonna fucking rip him apart limb from limb next time I see him.
I start pacing around Jimmys living room as I'm still furious. Chloe is sitting on the couch and Rachel is in Jimmys room keeping an eye on him. "Who, just who the fuck does he think he is." Max is sitting in the chair looking at her camera. I walk into Jimmys room as Rachel is changing his bandages. "He's gonna be fine Haley, I promise." She looks very tired as she's been up the past 2 days straight with him. I've already moved my stuff to the spare bedroom, because if I stay at Blackwell I'll end up murdering Nathan.
"Jimmy, I need to ask you something. What did Nathan tell you, like what exactly did he tell you?" I sit next to him on his bed as he tries sitting up. "You better stay laying down, or I'll hurt you." Rachel tells him.
"Hale, he just said no one fucks with the Prescotts." Jimmy says as he forces a smile. "I showed him though," he winces as the burn on his arm starts pulsing. I can see it from here and it just looks so painful. "Jimmy we will get revenge, I promise." Chloe bounces in and grabs me by the shoulders and agrees. "Yeah Jimmy, we got your back bro. I won't let my Metal Head get away from me that easily." Max then comes in and stands a little awkwardly in the corner. "Come over here Max, I wanna talk to you." Jimmy says. "Hale, Rache, Chloe? Can I talk to Max alone for a minute please?"
"Sure thing bubby," I say,
"Max if he sits up get me, he's supposed to be resting. I'll make his ass rest." She smirks at him and walks out, Chloe right behind her. And last I walk out.
Jimmys POV:
"Max, thank you for telling Haley the details. I really appreciate it." I'm in so much pain it's hard not to pass out, it's almost too much.
"It's because I care about you Jimmy, we are friends and that's what friends do, they help." She sits next to me and grabs my hand. "This could've been way worse than it was. Im so glad you are okay." She then does something unexpected. She kisses me, full on, on the lips kiss and she holds it for a minute. And I hold it too. She pulls away and I notice she has tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." She leaves and Haley walks in.
"Jimmy what did you do to Max? She's crying." I tell Haley to close the door and to come over next to me, as she does I whisper in her ear: "Max kissed me, do not. I repeat do not tell Rachel." Haley just gives me "the look" the look Rachel normally gives me when I don't listen to her or annoy her which means I'm about to get a lecture.
"Jimmy I won't tell her. I promise." Haley looks at me and gets that smile.
"Haley, you are the best sister ever." I lean up to hug her fighting through the pain, I'd go to hell and back for my sister, a little pain isn't going to stop me from hugging her.
"Rachel!!! He moved."
"You slick bitch." Rachel is in there faster than a race horse on cocaine. She's worse than a mother hen. "Babe, I'm fine I promise."
"Oh no you arent, you busted your burn open, now I need to rewrap it, are you proud of yourself? On second thought don't answer that." She says as she puts more ointment on my burn.
"Guys, Nathan is gonna regret this. So help me god, he's going to regret fucking with me." My ribs are all but broken as I say that. "Haley said she's gonna fuck him up when she sees him."
"I said, I'm gonna rip him apart limb from limb, to be precise." Haley adds, "now, I'm gonna bring your Playstation in here and we are gonna watch some movies. Rachel's idea. Not mine."
"I don't feel like watching movies, I got the shit beat out of me and literally thought I was gonna die. I just want to hang out. And if not talk, just chill." I'm on the verge of tears. "Everyone at school is gonna know about this. I fucking moved to get away from this abuse shit, and now I'm going through it with people at school... Haley what's going to happen next time? If they don't kill me I may. I can't take this stress much more." Now tears are really streaming.
"Don't worry, we got this. I won't let anything else happen to you, I love you Jimmy, and I feel horrible for what happened." Haley starts crying. "Rachel feels so bad too for being so defenseless." Rachel is next to me crying and I haven't noticed her for a minute..... I'm the world's worst boyfriend.
"Rachel, when I get better, I'll take you on the best date you've ever been on, promise." She smiles as she grabs my hand. My phone vibrates. And I look down at it as I struggle and it's a text from Nathan....
"Not Nathan, not now." Haley snatches my phone immediately and starts furiously texting... what's she saying? God I hate this. "Haley be easy, that's a new phone."
"Jimmy, you let me deal with Prescott and you deal with your injuries, mmmkay? Okay." Haley says in a sassy as fuck tone.
"Rachel, you stay here with Jimmy, Max. You stay here as well. Chloe, let's go. We got a meeting with Nathan." Haley tosses my phone on the bed and walks out of the room.
