TRTS #1 : Heart Attack

Chapter 12 - Need

Noah Clayton

Jaclyn was still at the bathroom and she's not coming out. My family and her dad wondered what happen between us until Jaclyn didn't come out because it's been almost 20 minutes since I left her there.

I decided to check on her and walked back into my bathroom. She was taking her bandages off and I looked at her disbelief. "What the hell are you doing?!" She needed to have those bandages off because it will help her scar heal faster.

She got up from the ground and put all her bandages into the garbage. She walked pass me and I followed her out. She walked straight to her dad and her dad's eyes widen to see all her body.

"Jaclyn.." My mom was speechless to see the wounds without the bandages. She sighed and then she turned to me. "I got into a car accident about a week ago." She turned her attention to her dad.

"What?!" Her dad was in shocked. He looked at his daughter's body and he looked at her eyes. "Noah was working there and I asked him to help me covering my accident because I don't want you to know." She confessed and that surprised me actually. I never thought she will confess now and in front of my family.

"I.. forced him to help me and that's why I'm here. I'm so sorry with everything to all of you guys and I want to thanked Noah for letting me stay here and take care of me."

"You raced again huh?" Her dad straight up asked her and she nodded. I saw his eyes burning in anger and he even hit the table to calm himself down.

"You really want me to lose you after I lost your mom?" He bursted angrily at her and he almost hit her. I automaticly pulled her away from her dad preventing any violance between the two of them.

"Let's just go back, you can scold me at home." She said as she let go of my hand. Her dad turned to my parents apologizing for this scene and then he walked out. Jaclyn grabbed her luggages and she apologized to my parents for this.

"Thankyou, Noah. I'm sorry too." She said and she walked out from my apartment. I turned to my parents and they gestured me to sit down at the dining table.

"Why didn't you help her?" My mom asked and I sighed. "She doesn't care about her life, that's why. She cares more about her reputation than her life."

"We actually know about her staying at the hospital. Words about you two got to us and we decided to pretend that we don't know anything because I bet you know what's the best for your patient." My mom said as she picked up her glass of water.

"It's obvious that you both know, her scars and wounds are not from falling down from biking." I hissed coldly.

"We know but it's not nice for you to say that. I bet she has her own reasons for it." My mom said and I shook my head. "She raced to distract her from the sadness of her mom passing away." I said.

"Then why are you being so harsh?" My dad asked and I raised my eyebrows. "Me? Being harsh?" I asked him disbelief.

"I bet you said mean things when you both got into your room. She won't do that unless you say something bad and mean to her!" My mom said and I scoffed disbelief.

"I'm just stating the truth and what's wrong with that? She's bothering me throughout the week asking me to be her boyfriend and even her husband. You really need to stop defending her, she doesn't even care about his life.. why bother about her?!" I said in a cold tone.

"That's mean, Noah." My dad said and I shook my head.

"Let's just eat, I don't want to talk about her again." I was angry but I don't know exactly why I'm angry about. Is it because the fact that she wants to hide it? Or the fact that she confessed to her dad? Or is it the fact that I'm being mean to her?

Jaclyn Rae

My family hates me. My dad was so mad at me and when my siblings found out, they went straight up giving me a long lecture. My grandmother doesn't even want to talk to me either.

Now I'm currently having a shower. I have my scars and wounds wrapped in a plastic to prevent from another infection. I was trying to get myself together and I can't stop thinking about what Noah told me in his bathroom. He was right and I hate the fact that he's right.

He's the first man who really can slap my ego and wins everything without even trying. He has a strong personality that made him won't easily back off. He has the power to control me and I couldn't find that with other man.

I got out from the shower and slowly wore my PJ on. I was being so careful with myself and slowly taking all the plastic off. I looked at myself in the mirror and tried to cheer myself up. Noah really can put me into my place it was a rare sight to see especially when I'm doing just the way he wanted me to be.

I walked out from the bathroom and sat down on my bed. I took my phone and looked at the message that popped out on my screen.

Jaclyn, this is Noah.
Are you okay?

I found myself smiling seeing his text and I decided not to reply it. I saved his number and laid on my bed looking at his text again and again. I turned off my light with the remote control and closed my eyes.

I need a man like Noah, I really need someone to put me back in my place.
