Addicted ~ Nate Jacobs

Chapter Forty-Three

Nate ended up having a concussion too and due to his surgery, he was told he had to stay in the hospital for at least 2 more days. That meant 2 days of sitting in a hospital bed doing nothing. He wanted to see Sophie so badly, just so he could see that she was okay, but he wasn't allowed to get up quite yet. So, on Sophie's way home the next afternoon, they stopped by his room.

"Oh my god, Sophie, you're okay." Nate sighed as Brenda and Sophie walked into Nate's room.

Sophie sat on the edge of his bed, "I'm okay. We're okay."

"Everything's fine with the baby?"

"Yeah." Sophie said with a smile, "How are you feeling?"

"Pretty sore, but I'm okay now that you're here." Nate said, placing a hand on her stomach, "I was so fucking worried about you."

"I was worried about you too."

"At least you get to go home."

"You'll be home soon too."

"I know." Nate muttered.

"I have to thank Fezco. We're lucky that he was there or who knows what else would've happened?"

Nate nodded, "I know."

"I'm going to let you rest now, okay? I'll come back and see you."

"Okay, baby."

"I love you, Nate."

"I love you too." Nate said, pressing his lips to hers before she got up and walked out with Brenda.

He wished that she was able to stay, but he wanted her to rest too. He was incredibly fucking thankful that the baby was okay, since it could have been a lot worse and he didn't even want to think of that scenario right now. He was also super fucking angry with himself for allowing Natalie to come into his life and hurt the two girls he cared for the most. He sighed and went on his phone, hoping that scrolling would fix his boredom and relieve him from his negative thoughts.

Sophie and Brenda arrived home and Brenda ushered her right upstairs and into bed.

"Mom, I'm good, really."

"No, you need to rest. And let the baby rest too. I'm sure she's probably confused in there." Brenda said as Sophie climbed into bed.

"You're right."

Brenda sat on the end of her bed, "Marsha told me that they are possibly charging Natalie."

"Possibly? She hit us! Why wouldn't they charge her straight away?"

Brenda shook her head, "I don't know. I'm sure she will be charged, but I guess we will have to see."

"Well, she better." Sophie said, sighing.

Brenda gave her daughter a small smile, "Get some rest, sweetie. I'll be in my room if you need anything."

Brenda left her room and Sophie sighed, rolling over. All she wanted right now was Nate. She wanted his arms around her and the baby, but she knew she had to wait until he got out of the hospital. Sophie closed her eyes and before she knew it, she was in a deep sleep.

"Sophie, honey. I'm sorry to wake you." Brenda said, giving her daughter a nudge, "But you have some friends here to see you."

Sophie opened her eyes and checked the time, realizing she had slept for 3 hours, "Who's here?"

"All your girl friends."
