Still In Love With You

I sat in the holding cell next to Stephen. He looked like shit so chances are I do too. He glared over at me and I sighed. I knew I shouldn't have attacked him. He started it by pushing me though. Both of us were to blame. Now we're both going to be in trouble with Paul once he finds out. There goes my title push.

"You know if I wasn't in these handcuffs I'd punch you for what you did to Angie"

"I didn't mean for her to get hurt."

"Doesn't matter. Shouldn't be pushin her around like that. Especially with how she feels about you."

I put my head down and sighed. I knew he was right. I was never going to get her back now. I probably just drove her back to Colby and I'm pretty sure I'm never going to get to see my daughter. The booking officer came in and got Stephen up to do the whole mugshot thing

"Hey. Can you take these things off?  My hands are falling asleep"

"No"

He turned and left as I sighed. I just wanted to get this crap over and done with so I could bail out and go see Angie. I was worried about her and I felt like shit for what I'd done.

Colby's POV

I sat there texting April about what's going on. I just needed someone to talk to so I didn't go nuts. I was so worried about a lot of things with this situation.

I knew something like this would happen. I hope she's OK

She's just sleeping. She'll probably be here overnight. I just worry about her getting back together with Jon.

I know. She's not stupid Colby. Everything she does is with Bailey in mind. She won't get back together with him when he's like this and risk Bailey's safety.

I just don't understand how someone can love a person that constantly abuses them

I don't either, but we're not her. We don't know what's in her heart. There's obviously something we don't see because we both know she's smarter than that.

She started to stir so I stood up and softly stroked her hair

"Jon?"

"No Ang. It's me"

She half smiled and opened her eyes. I smiled and kissed her hand. She looked very uncomfortable and kept shifting around

"What's wrong?"

"My head...it really hurts...a lot"

There were long pauses between everything she was saying and she was whispering. I was really worried about her and hit the call button so a nurse would come in and check on her. She just kept repeating that it hurt over and over. I watched as she slowly started trailing off and closing her eyes. I kept trying to keep her awake so the nurse could check on her, but no one was coming. I was afraid to leave her, but I felt like they were ignoring the call. Suddenly the door opened. Finally! I turned around to find Jon walking in the door. Part of me was incredibly pissed and annoyed, but the other part was relieved because now I could go find a nurse or doctor. He walked over with an incredibly guilty look on his face, but it didn't even matter to me right now.  He stood at the foot of the bed and I didn't want to sound like an asshole, but I didn't have time for this

"Come over here. Hold her hand and talk to her if she wakes up. I need to find a nurse or doctor. I'll be back in a minute."

Jon's POV:

Colby left the room and I looked up at Angie and smiled. She looked so peaceful and beautiful and I could just stare at her forever. She started to stir a little and I smiled and held her hand

"Angie..."

"Jon?"

"It's alright. I'm here."

"My head...it hurts..."

"Shhhh I know. Colby went to find a doctor or nurse to have a look at you. Just try to relax"

"Jon?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm still in love with you"

I grinned from ear to ear and my heart skipped a beat. I loved hearing her say that even if it was half conscious in a hospital bed. I kissed her hand and held it to my heart. I didn't know what to say or how to even say all that I wanted to say.

"Angie...I..."

The door opened and Colby walked back in with a doctor. I tried to step aside, but she held tight to my hand. I smiled and leaned in and kissed her cheek

"I'll be right outside. I promise. They need to check you out and we're in the way"

She reluctantly let go and Colby and I stepped out into the hallway.  He glared at me and I knew he was mad. I knew it had to do with everything that was going on. He didn't trust me with her.  He and I are still friends, but when it comes to Angie he just becomes so protective and overbearing.  I leaned against the wall with my head down, kicking my feet at invisible rocks on the ground. He was on the other side of the hallway against the wall with his arms crossed.

"How was jail?"

"Great. Made some new friends"

"I'm sure you did. Proud of yourself?"

"Always. Hey when they're done I want to spend some time alone with her."

He shook his head "No way. I don't think so."

"I need to talk to her."

"Oh and try to smooth things over. Make it seem like you're blameless for the reason she's here. Try to turn on the charm in hopes that she'll fall in love with you again?"

"She told me she still loved me"

He threw back his head and laughed "yeah she said the same thing to me before you got here. How about you give it a few weeks and try having a lucid conversation with her. She doesn't know what the hell she's saying right now."

I balled up my fist. I wanted to punch him so badly right now. I slowly raised my fist and sighed and put it down. I stormed down the hall to the elevator. I headed outside for a cigarette. I didn't need his shit right now
