Life

Chapter 20

Jack's POV:

Jaclyn has been out of the hospital for 3 weeks. Today she goes in for a check up.

When we got to the hospital I got out and got a wheelchair for her and got her in it then inside while Maya parked the car.

After checking in we waited for Maya to come in and to get taken back. About 10 minutes later the nurse came and got us.

Doc: so I'm going to do some tests on your leg and that will determine if you can start walking or not.
Jaclyn: well run them because I have to. I have shows in a few weeks.
Doc: yeah. You may want to postpone those.
Jaclyn: that's not an option. This is once in a lifetime opportunities. I'm not postponing it. I'll wobble around that stage before postponing it.
Doc: okay. Let's just check your leg out.

She sighed and sat back on the table. He did his checks and then went into the hall. A couple minutes later he came back.

Doc: you are good. You can slowly start walking. I have crutches for you and I'm going to change your bandage while you are here.
Jaclyn: Yes. Thank you.

She looked over at me with all smiles. I texted Vic and told her what the doctor said.

Jaclyn's POV:

After my appointment dad and Maya took me home. I walked inside while dad freaked out.

Jack: be careful! Wait for me.
Jaclyn: I'm fine.

I walked to the step inside and looked at him. I sat my crutches down and stepped inside with my good leg then brought the bad one in.

Jack: you are going to be the death of me.
Jaclyn: I'm doing my job then.

I heard him chuckle while I walked inside. I went into my room and threw my crutches down. I flopped onto the bed and texted Tico for awhile.

Later in the day I walked out into the living room and saw dad, Maya, and grandpa in there.

Jaclyn: hi.
Jack: come sit. We wanna talk.
Jaclyn: is this some kind of intervention?
Pruitt: come sit mija.

I looked at them weird and sat on the arm of the chair.

Jaclyn: what?
Jack: we think you need to postpone your upcoming shows.
Jaclyn: no. It's not happening.
Jack: Jaclyn. You need time to heal.
Jaclyn: I'll be fine.
Pruitt: mija.
Jaclyn: if I can perform with broken ribs I'm pretty sure I can perform with my leg in a brace.
Pruitt: we just don't want you to hurt yourself anymore.
Jaclyn: we who?
Pruitt: all three of us.
Jaclyn: ok first off. (Pointing at dad) Have you said anything to mom and dad? They were the ones taking me there. They are the ones who took off work to go. Second (pointing at Pruitt) how could you go behind me like this? Third (pointing at Maya) She doesn't get a say in anything!
Jack: Jaclyn!
Jaclyn: no. Everything went to shit once she showed up. She doesn't get a say. She's not my mom!

I picked my crutches up and went into my room. I slammed my door shut and locked it. I sat down on the floor and called mom crying.

Vic: hey babe
Jaclyn: (crying)
Vic: what's wrong?
Jaclyn: I need you
Vic: okay. I'll be over soon.

I hung up and laid there crying. About 20 minutes later I heard her come in.

Vic's POV:

I walked in Jacks house and saw him, Maya, and Pruitt in the living room. I walked past them and tried to get into Jaclyn's room but she had locked the door. I walked back into the living room and looked at Jack.
