Jack Gilinsky's POV:
I run out of the room after Jack and Charlie to stop Jack to explain what just happened.
"Where is he?!" I shout at Charlie.
"He left! Don't yell at me this is your fault why would you cheat on Jack he's the best person you've ever been with!"
"I know! And I'm sorry.. But I can explain what that was."
"Well tell me, what's the excuse??" He says sassily.
"I was sitting at the tables and had a few drinks, before I knew it I was drunk, some person came over and tried to help me, I told them to leave me alone and they wouldn't listen! They took me up to that room and started kissing me, I couldn't get them off of me.. Tonight has became absolute shit!" I shout.
"Well thanks for insulting the party.." Charlie jokes.
"But anyways we need to find Jack and you need to tell him what you just told me!" Charlie says stepping outside.
"Ok let's go!" I say following him.
Charlie drives the way he saw Jack go. "God he must be freezing out here." I say worriedly.
"Yeah it's the coldest night of the year.."
"Well that's just great." I say looking out the window in hopes of seeing Jack.
After about an hour of searching we see Jack's car on the side of the road.
"Wait! Pull over! That's his car!" I shout tapping on the dashboard.
Charlie quickly stops the car, I jump out and run to the car hoping Jack is in it. I freeze when I see Jack laying in the ditch a few steps away from the car.
"Jack! Oh god Jack! What happened to you?!" I cry.
I pick him up slightly enough to lay him on my lap. I put my hand on his forehead, "Oh god he's been out here for hours! He's freezing!"
"Charlie call 911!"
He runs back to his car to get his phone. I bend down and kiss Jack. "Please be ok, please be ok.. It can't end like this. You need to know what happened.." I say as a tear falls from my eye.
"Hello? Yes we found our friend on the side of the road I don't think he's ok.." Charlie says to the person on the phone.
"They said they'll be here shortly." Charlie says crouching down next to me.
Soon lights of all different colors, red, white, and blue, can be seen in the distance. It's an ambulance and a cop car.
The ambulance arrives and they put Jack on a stretcher. "Do either of you know how this happened?" A cop asks us.
"No, we were at a party and he rushed out we came searching for him and found him here.." I say as the man writes everything down.
"So do you think he was under the influence?"
"Are you asking if he was drunk? No he wasn't drunk, I know Jack and he wouldn't drive if he was drunk." I yell.
"Sir I need you to calm down, it was just a question. That's all we needed to know you guys are free to go." He says walking over to the other cop.
"Would you like to ride in the back of the ambulance?" A paramedic asks me.
I look over to Charlie to see if it's ok, he nods at me telling me to go. I step into the back and sit on the seat at the side.
I stare at Jack, still shocked that this happened. "Is he gonna be ok?" I ask the paramedic that sits back here to take care of the patient.
"It's hard to say at this moment.." He says checking Jack's vitals.
We soon get to the hospital, they take Jack out and rush him inside, I run behind them.
They get to the end of a hallway and push him through a set of doors, a man stops me from following any further,
"We'll take care of him from here." He says stepping through the doors leaving me standing there alone. I stare through the glass on the doors seeing Jack being wheeled into another room.
I slowly walk back to the waiting room and sit on a seat meant for two people. I break down and start sobbing loudly.
I stop myself realizing that people may be staring. But I continue sniffling and wiping away tears, soon my sleeve is soaked.
Charlie rushes in and stops when he sees me sitting here. He runs up to me and sits down next to me, "How is he?!"
"I don't know, they took him in there an hour ago I think.." I start to cry again, Charlie puts his arm around me, I put my head on his shoulder and let out my sobs.
I think I hear him crying too, soon Nicole enters the room. She already looks as though she's going to cry.
She sits with us and asks the same questions as Charlie, I explain that it's been a while since they took Jack in the emergency room.
"I'm sure he'll be fine.." Nicole reassures.
"I really hope so.." I say my voice cracking.
"I wish we knew what happened in the first place." Charlie says looking over to the receptionist's desk.
Jack's doctor walks into the waiting room looking for us. I immediately jump to my feet hoping he has good news.
"How is he?" Charlie, Nicole, and I all say in unison.
"He's going to fine. But at the moment we're only allowing one visitor, Jack?" He looks at me.
"Yes I want to see him!" I say relieved.
The doctor walks me back down a few long hallways, all white with white tile too, like any other hospital.
We turn a corner into Jack's room, the doctor opens the door for me, I rush in when I see Jack laying in the hospital bed, helpless.
"He's unconscious right now but he should wake up soon, at this moment I have to go over his diagnosis with you." The doctor says pulling out a clipboard.
"Jack has Hyperacusis, that is the perception of an unusual auditory sensitivity to some noises or tones. The effects of Hyperacusis can range from a mild sense of unease to a complete loss of balance or upright posture with severe ear pain. In serious cases, it can cause seizure-like activity in the brain, in Jack's case he fainted."
"Hyperacusis can be associated with traumatic brain injury, metabolic disorders, and other conditions, what that means is Jack could've hit his head at some point in his life.. and the impact caused this." He finishes.
"Ok.. Thank you for caring for him." I say turning to Jack.
"My pleasure I'll leave you two alone now." He opens the door and steps out closing it behind him.
I stare at Jack just laying in bed, peacefully, he's so cute. I know that's weird sense he's injured and all but I still adore him.
I wish he'd wake up so I can explain to him that it was all a misunderstanding.
