Walls

Chapter 28 part1

Jason's POV

I kept staring at the ceiling. I glanced at the wall clock hanging from my door.

1:48am

Dani left roughly 48 minutes ago.

I know she was waiting for me to fall asleep before she leave. I know, that is why I refuse to sleep until she "convinced" me to do so. I don't want her to leave even though I know she will be back tomorrow.

I acted asleep, but I am fully aware of her.

She left, thinking I was already resting.

I heard a soft knock from the door then came in Nurse Jackie.

The nurse that Dani referred as the one I was making stubborn commands and requests. I never wanted to make things hard for her but I desperately wanted Dani's attention, though she never literally left me, she always visits me, but I can feel her mind is away. I know this nurse would tell Dani then Dani would talk to me longer.

The nurse was obviously surprised I was still awake. Or she was probably nervous about my random requests, last night I asked her to walk me outside the room in wheelchair at 3am.

"Is anything bothering you? Are you hurt?" She asked me with concern.

"Hurt.. That's an understatement." I thought.

"Tell me, Is Jace here in the hospital?" I asked her.

She looked at me surprised.

"You know Jace right? Dani's ex boyfriend."

For a moment I felt she hesitated to tell me.

"I promise not to tell Dani and besides I don't want Dani to know about this." I assured her.

"Well, yes." She said.

I took a deep breath as I confirm my thoughts.

"How was he? Is he in the next room I am in?" I asked.

"No..." She answered.

"Where? In a more private room than I am in?" I spat, failing to hide the bitterness I am feeling.

So I am right, Dani is zoning out because Jace is here. She is with me physically but her heart and mind is with Jace. She was looking sad while staring at me because she feels sorry for me. She can't stay with me here because she wanted to go to Jace.

"You don't need to know."

"I wanted to know! Tell me? Is he in the VIP? I bet Dani is with him right now." I demanded.

"You don't understand."

"What do I don't understand? That Dani obviously is visiting because she feel sorry for me. I was the one who got beaten while her lovey, I bet, only got a few bruises."

The nurse stood up properly obviously annoyed but I am more than pissed. I am jealous. I need Dani. I want Dani.

"You don't obviously understand because you don't know. Well then, for your information, Yes, Jace is here in the hospital. Not in the other "VIP" room as you were pertaining, you are in that VIP room, while him, he is in another kind of 'VIP' room that needed specialized attention and intervention."

I hissed.

"What the hell, a specialized attention? For a few bruises? Is he a man? Can't he handle those by himself?"

"He is in a "VIP" room we call as ICU. The guy you were pertaining to have few bruises has more serious injury. He got a broken leg just like yours though less serious but the guy also got a head trauma. Aside from the stab wound the attacker did that almost hit his right lung, they got hit by a truck. Although the attacker got the first impact which killed the attacker in an instant by the way since you don't know, the Jace you were pertaining flew few meters from the hit and got his head injured. He is in deep comatose right now with a respirator to aide his breathing. Heck, that machine was literally breathing for him! And Yel? The sorry look? Yes she is sorry for she was blaming herself for what happened to you and Jace. For the times you are unaware, she was crying endlessly at the hallway. She was patiently waiting for you to rest first before she go to Jace. The girl you were referring as such has been losing much sleep trying to be there for you and understand your stubbornness at the same time be there for Jace also. After which, she tries to sleep then go to work the next day."

I was left dumbfounded. I never thought it would be that way. All these time I thought Jace got mildly bruised. All this time I though Dani was just sorry. I never thought I am this selfish. I complain a lot.

"I told you this not for you to feel guilty Jason. But for you to realize you were not the only one suffering. Its for you to realize you should be sensitive to people. Yel has been facing a lot and I am amazed by her strong will, you should help her as she try to help both you and Jace." She said sympathetically.

She smiled at me as she checked my IV line and made sure I was fine. She wanted to stay though but I told her she needed to attend to the other patients she has. She nodded and left after I assure her I will call her if I need her.

I resumed staring at the ceiling, still with the overflowing emotions I am feeling.

"Damn I am selfish."
