Chapter Twenty-Seven - Let Me Save You

(*Excuse any errors)

-Hunter-

"He's out of the coma and the seizures have stopped which shows a lot of promise. We will keep him in the ICU for a few just to monitor him. We have to run a few tests so visitations will be limited for now." The doctor says calmly. I bite the inside of my lip nervously as I stare at Jordan.

Patrick and Porter are both looking at him, watching to see if the news has any effect on him. "Thank you, Doctor, when can he come home?" Patrick asks after clearing his throat.

Charlotte and Helena are sitting next to each other, Charlotte has a sad frown on her face and I can tell that she's probably regretting her decision to lie to Jordan.

"Uhm, we can't say for sure but we assure you, we're doing everything we can to get him home." The doctor replies. They were smart to have the doctor call in because I'm sure Jordan would have been able to hear the doctor's heartbeat. A dead give away that he is lying.

"Thank you, Thomas, I will check back in later," Patrick says before hanging up. The room falls silent, the eerie buzzing of the chandelier echoes through the conference room as we wait for Jordan to say/do something.

He hasn't spoken and I don't think he will. He'll probably get up and walk out. His expression doesn't really give off any hints as to what he's feeling. It was a nightmare getting him back to Northwood. It took me four hours to convince him to come back home.

When I had to get him from his room, he brought down a bottle of vodka with him. I'm not sure exactly where he got it from because his dad raided his private cellar.

"Jordan, this is good. It means Blaine is getting bett-" Patrick starts but is interrupted when Jordan flicks the top of the bottle off and downs half of it.

He chuckles cynically. We all stare at him with surprise. Why is he laughing? What was funny? Patrick looks towards me and I shrug with confusion. I didn't say anything to him.

"Who's idea was it to lie to me?"

Shit! We're fucked. Jordan's voice is unrecognizably deep and angry. I'm not sure I can even call it anger, it's more like rage.

"Jordan, what are you-" Patrick asks.

"Last time I repeat myself, who's fucking idea was it to lie to me?" He brings the bottle back up to his lips and finishes it.

"Me." Charlotte stands up with her head down. Oh dear, that poor girl. Jordan turns to face her and his eyes slowly shift from grey to red. "Jordan, wait," Porter says getting up and standing between her and him.

I stand up too and stand in front of him. "Jordan, she was just trying to help," I say trying to reason with him. He cocks his head to the side, "Help? Help by LYING TO ME!?" He snaps before sidestepping me and stalking towards Charlotte. She shrieks with fear.

"Jordan I'm sorry! I just didn't want to lose you too!" She cries as her body shakes violently. "Jordan, it's my fault okay, I'm the one who talked to the doctor," Patrick says placing his hand on Jordan's shoulder.

"Both of you, get out of my sight. NOW!" He snaps angrily, making the room shake. As I said, the plan was stupid and now it has backfired. "You knew?" He asks looking towards me with teary eyes. I frown and lower my head, "Yes."

"Jordan we're sorry, we thought-"

"Enough. Both of you can fuck off. Oh, and Hunter, a friend, and a confidant doesn't lie.." He says before storming out. Porter and Helena look towards me and shoot me an apologetic look.
