Something Fishy...

ALBERT'S POV

I wake up shirtless in a cozy blanket and sit up as a sudden pain clutches the little strength in my 'Just Woke Up' body. I fall back onto the couch and lay there, not wanting to move anyways.

I hear footsteps approach the couch and look up to see Jake looking worryingly down at me. "Are you okay?" Jake asks as he sits down next to my feet.
"Uh, Yeah... my head is killing me..." I mumbled, not recalling one single thing from last night.
"Oh... heh..." Jake blushes and avoids eye contact.
"Jake, what happened last night...?" I mumble again, suddenly feeling the need to grasp my head in pain. Jake's eyes grow big with easily readable fear, and my heart begins to pound. "Jake?" I mumble louder, getting his attention.
"Uhhh...." He starts playing with his hoodie strings, slowly brings his eye attention to me. "We got... Really, really really drunk... And...And...went to...A random person's house... who was also drunk... And then broke few windows... Then left..."
Putting all of my curiosity aside, which is rare for me, my head began to pound again. "Jake, agh, could you get me some water? I've got a headache..."
He looks at me, relief drowning him almost instantly. "Sure... Yeah, sure. I'll be right back then."
I watch Jake run for the kitchen and turn a sharp corner, knocking him right off his feet. "OOF!" He shouts accompanied with a loud bang.
      I jump to my feet even though I knew I wasn't really ready to get up. The weakness in my legs forced my eyes to grow wide as I fell down into Jake's glass coffee table. I screamed in pain as blood began rushing out. My eyes shut hardly and my teeth clenched.
   "SHIT!" Jake shouts, putting away his pains to help me. He grabs my arm as my vision begins to get fuzzy... I turn to Jake, my eyes getting very heavy, too heavy... I passed out.

🐥A FEW HOURS LATER🐥
My eyes start to flutter as light reaches them. I woke up out of Jake's house and in a place I didn't recognize. I looked to my side to see Jake in a bed with bandages on his wrists. I looked back at myself, realizing I had stitches and bandages covering me. I look back at Jake and I realize he wasn't awake yet. Poor, Jake... I wonder what happened to him... I think, feeling the need to go over by him. I move my legs, pain forcing out a choked cry. I moved my leg back to see Jake jolt awake and look around frantically.
   "Albert? What's wrong?" He yelled worryingly, looking at me with his big, caring brown eyes as he got up slowly and rushed to my side. I look back at my wrist, then notice a tube connected to me.
   "Jake.... You didn't-"
   "I did. Albert, you almost died... I just couldn't watch you go so young..." Jake interrupted, smiling at me.
   "D-Die?!?" I stammer, my now relaxed eyes growing big again. "But I thought it was just a few cuts!"
   "A few cuts..." Jake echoed with a sigh, "I wish it was just a few.." After that, there was awkward silence. We just stared into each other's eyes, in our own world where all the curves and bumps in life couldn't make it... He began leaning closer to me and I did the same...
BANG!
Jake jumped back and landed on the ground with a thud while I let out a surprised girlish screech.
   "Ah, you're both up. How do you feel, Mr.(Albert's Last Name)?" Asked the nurse, ignoring how much she startled Jake and I. 
   I glanced up at the nurse, "HORRIBLE..." I murmured, "I can't move my leg without it feeling like it's going to fall off or something..."
   I saw Jake looking at me sympathetically as he rose to his feet and pulled up a chair to sit beside me.
The nurse jot something down on her clipboard and left the room, leaving Jake and I alone again.
"Albert, you're going to be just fine..." Jake whispered, reaching out for my hand. I slightly moved my hand away so he missed it. Jake glanced at me, then looked down at his hands for a few awkward moments before lifting his head. "I'm-I'm going to lay down..." He murmured, leaving my side.
Suddenly, the nurse flew open our room door with a tube in her hand. She then handed it Jake, "Alright, can you rub this on all your friend's cuts?"
"Uhhh-" Jake looks at the tube and takes it. I watch him as he unscrews the cap on the medicine.
"I'll leave you alone for now, but just call me anytime you need anything!" Chirped the nurse, jotting something down as she left the room again.
Jake got back up and cleared his throat as he started walking towards me. Panic began to flow throughout my body, making me start to stress sweat as Jake stood above me...
