Love in the Spotlight

Where am I? How did YOU get here?!

 Jake POV:  I woke up in a white room in a bed. What the hell? Why am I in a hospital? OW SON-OF-A-BITCH! Wait, where's Shaun? Oh wait, that's right. HE'S why I'm here. Well, I may as well try to sleep. A nurse walked in as I was about to shut my eyes. "Oh, you're awake!" she exclaimed, "I'll go get the doctor." "Ok..." I said calmer than usual. After she stepped out, I tried to stand up. Remember, TRIED. I was standing up for a good bit, but then the doc walked in, "Alright, Mr.." He scared me so bad, I slipped and fell on my arms. "Mr. Jake! Sorry to startle you!" I didn't say anything, and I don't know why. All I know is that he looked me over, and left after writing on some papers he had. I was alone again. God, these meds are really powerful...I wanna sleep. I was almost asleep, but then...

BAM! "Jake! Holy fuck! You're ok!" Wow...M.J.'s here..WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!? "Why wouldn't I be?" I asked. "Those fuckbags that beat the shit out of you! ESPECIALLY SHAUN!" M.J. yelled, "Imma beat those asswipes until they are crying for their grandmas." Holy fuck...she's serious.. "How did you get here anyway?" I ask. "I drove. DUH" M.J. said in her fashion. "Ok...what happened? My memory's a little fuzzy." She looked at me sternly, but it washed away pretty quick. "Well, what I saw was you on the ground with a broken 2X4 by you and a piece in that prick Shaun's hands. Why would he beat you up like that? You two have been friends forever." Why would he do that? Was our friendship a whole elaborate ruse? "M.J, I really don't know...I honestly don't know..." "Wait, I think I may know. If I'm right, I think he was using you, and beat the fuck out of you to take your shit. From what I saw before they peeled out, they were tearing apart your car and left with a bag of y'know what, and I think they took all of your money. The police saw your wallet taken out of your pocket and ripped open quickly on the cameras. They didn't see their faces so they may not be able to press charges right away." "M.J, thanks for...being there. But, I think I need to talk to the doc," I said gesturing to the doorway where the doctor was standing.

"Oh! I'm so sorry! Well, I guess I'll be ready whenever you're out of here. You call me as soon as you get out of here." M.J. said passionately. She kissed my forehead and left.

"I was just going to suggest you get some sleep. You two have been talking since noon, and it is now 6:30. So, I will leave you be until morning or if you need me."

After he left, I relived the kiss from M.J. in my dreams.
