*3 hours later*

Jake's POV
I've been thinking...a lot. I did snap a little too hard, but what else was I supposed to do. She was going to leave. I don't want her to though. And I probably just forced her out. I'm such an idiot.

Chance: *opens door* Hey.

Jake: Hey.

Chance: Everyone went home. You wanted some space so.

Jake: Thanks. Actually I need to talk to you.

Chance: Oh sure. What do you need to talk about?

Jake: What would you do if you made at one of the only people you care about more than yourself really disappointed at themselves?

Chance: Jake...what did you do?

Jake: *sighs* I snapped at Erika.

Chance: Ouch.

Jake: Yeah...I know.

Chance: Just call and apologize.

Jake: I can't. I already tried.

Chance: She didn't answer?

Jake: No....

Chance: I could try. *calls Erika*

Jake: *hears voicemail* Ugh. I feel like a jerk.

Chance: It's not your fault

Jake: Find your friends...

Chance: What?

Jake: Find your friends! Check find your friends.

Chance: Ok. *opens app* She's at...LAX.

Jake: No, no, no, no, no. *rips out iv*

Chance: Jake! No! You have to stay here.

Jake: No I don't! I'm fine. *stands up*

Chance: Jake you just had surgery 5 hours ago.

Jake: So what? *grabs shirt and throws it on*

Chance: You could get hurt again!

Jake: I'm not losing her again! *ties shoes and puts on jacket* Meet me back at the house.

Chance: Ok.

Jake: *runs out*

Nurse: Hey! You can't leave yet sir!

Jake: Too bad!

Sunny: Jake! What are you doing?!

Jake: Getting my girl back! *runs outside*

Chance: *runs out of the room* He does whatever.

Nurse: I can see that.
