SIXTEEN | Hospital Stench

Oh my god, was it a surprise for me, that Jotaro, yes Jotaro, had a girlfriend. What was I supposed to do? Go break up with Kakyoin all of the sudden and tell Kujo I like him? That's so cliche, but I'm confused about what I should do. I don't want to hurt Kakyoin, yet I don't think I can maintain this relationship anymore, you know? Probably not.

Who am I even mentioning, I don't know. I wish I could tell him how I feel, I should've done it a long time ago. I thought, slumping down. I was needed at the hospital, there was a patient that got really hurt, and I was assigned the nurse for the operation, as training. I sighed, pulling on my big, baby blue nurse shirt, and blue pants. I tied my hair in a loose messy bun before exiting the door, slipping on a olive green parka over my hospital clothing.

Once I made it to the hospital I was immediately rushed to the room of the patient, apparently the operation went well, and he's just going to be in the hospital for a few weeks, and I was left to take care of him, put my training to use. I walked towards the patient's room. 207. Once I was outside the wooden door, I walked in closing it behind me to then look at the patient.

I was pleasantly surprised. Because it was Kujo who was my patient. He had bandages over his chest, and a loose blue shirt and pants on as he was facing the big hospital windows that faced the view of the hospital. He didn't notice me come in as my back was turned. I spoke up, just to see his reaction.

"So how'd you get that one?" I asked, propping my head up with my elbow. Jotaro swerved around, as if he was making sure it was me who was talking to him. I gave him a small smile and saw his worries fade away. "I got in a fight." He said. I narrowed my eyes. "Yeah, but why are there bandages on your chest?" I pressed, hoping he'd magically tell me what had happened to him.

"It's nothing," he said, turning back around, "Why didn't you tell me you worked at this hospital?" He said, his blue eyes not meeting mine, that were staring holes into his back. "Corey said you were a doctor..." He said, turning back around to me, so I could get a nice, good look of his intimating face, but very handsome features.

"Well, I'm a doctor-in-training, and I'm almost there, I only have seven more years until I'm done! Yay!" I said sarcastically, rolling my eyes, cringing. Jotaro just hummed in acknowledgement. I sighed, rubbing my eyes, the slight bags under my eyes. Jotaro seemed to notice, before he made a comment.

"You should probably get some sleep." I rolled my eyes again, "Remember Dr. Kujo, I'm the one who's supposed to care for you!" I said, matter-of-factly. Jotaro just deadpanned, monotone. "Don't. Call. Me. Doctor. Kujo. Besides, I already know you well enough to just call me Jotaro."

I sighed, He still doesn't understand social cues, I thought, a bland look on my usually smiling facial features.

"How's medical school?" He said, a slight rare smile on his face. I frowned, "Exhausting for sure. Especially when your normal shifts are really long, and you only get a day off." I sighed, wiping some sweat off of my face. I decided to change the topic for now, I was a bit bored, "Want some food?" I asked, getting up.

"No, I'd rather talk with you." He said, his piercing aquamarine eyes boring back into my (e/c) ones. I sat back down, a light blush coating my (s/c) cheeks. "O-Okay," I stuttered, looking into my lap, my confidence leaking. "But if you need anything, just tell me." I said, gathering my courage again, daring to look back at his pretty eyes.

"You know a lot has changed since I saw you last; in school." I said, clearly stating the change in Jotaro's attitude, and looks. He nodded, "You look good." He said bluntly. "You too." I said, awkwardly scratching the nape of my neck. In the past, Jotaro hasn't ever made me feel nervous or self-conscious of myself, but I think after this break of seeing each other, not only he has changed a bit, but so have I, my heart always skips a beat when I see him, but I know it's wrong.

I'm still hanging on to that single wire with Kakyoin, and I think we don't admit it, but both the redhead and I are in agreement of the relationship. We can't do this. But even if I do break up with Kakyoin and end all of our romantic relationship, I still can't fall back in Jotaro's arms. He's dating that goody two-shoes, Jootjoot, nickname calling bitch. I thought menacingly.

"Do you miss me?" Jotaro asked, completely out of the blue, making my cheeks redden a bit, as I snapped out of my little 'Meg hating session'. I do, I really do! I thought, but I got to keep it together, I thought, calming down my emotional side. "I-I guess. I mean it's different when you're not around, you know?" I blurted out, immediately regretting what I had said.

I saw his eyes flicker an unreadable emotion. "I think I missed you too." He agreed with me, making my head spin and my heartbeat quicken. Just from one measly response, he can make my whole body act up. He had that type of effect on me. And I don't know if I should classify it as 'good' or 'bad'.

"I wonder what everyone else, all my friends in highschool are doing now." I said, tapping my chin lightly, as Jotaro's masculine voice spoke up. "I honestly don't give a flying fuck what they're doing or anything." I sighed, "You've never really given a fuck." I said, letting myself swear while I was on my shift, at work. What a good person I am. I thought, sarcastically.

He looked at me, a playful look in his eye. "You could say that." I smiled, looking outside through the huge window, watching a bird fly into the sky. "You've always been like that Jotaro. I actually thought you might've changed." I said, regretting what bullshit I had spouted from my mouth when I saw the look in his eye.

"You think I haven't changed, huh." He said, his dark, ebony eyebrows furrowing. "I didn't mean it like that!" I said, as he nodded. "I know you didn't." Well that was a quick switch. I thought before, he spoke up. "You were never the mean one, you just didn't know your words hurted." He said, me taking a blow to my ego.

"That's an... Interesting way to put it." I thought, before my stomach grumbled, me just thinking about some tasty food. Jotaro noticed the sound and a rare, chuckle escaped his lips. "I think you should get some food, you could get some sushi for me." He said, his blue eyes, still dull, but they twinkled as I looked at the half-Japanese and half-American Joestar in awe.

"Yeah... You're right..." I responded.

Sorry about this chapter! It came out one day after the deadline, so I'm sorry you had to wait... I think this chapter went TERRIBLY. But I posted nonetheless, I had some really bad writers block this week.
