I grabbed my crutches and adjusted myself on them before leaving my room, belle smiled softly at me before we headed towards moms room, we stood outside and I took a deep breath "it'll be okay Jared, I'm here" belle whispered cupping my face, I slowly smiled and leaned into her touch, "she jumped in front of the truck trying to save me" I whispered, I hadn't told anyone but I hated myself for it, belle's father was right, people do get hurt around me, I groaned when another bit of pain rushed through my head
"Are you okay?" She whispered, I nodded grabbing hold of her hand, she looked at me with worry before nodding "okay let's go inside" she smiled, she pushed down the handle and there lay my mother, her legs in traction and her whole body busted up, her face bruised and cut
She was the proof of a strong woman because even with the broken bones and busted body, she lay there eating food and reading a book, "I'm not talking until you tell me what's up with my son" she snapped "we're being stubborn today" I laughed as I went into the room, her head snapped around and tears poured down her face "oh sweetheart" she cried holding her arms out, I leaned down and hugged her once again starting to cry "are you okay?" She whispered "shattered my thigh bone, sprained my wrist and got a concussion, and you?" I smiled cheekily "well I shattered both of my shin bones, tore my Achilles tendon, broke my wrist, and also got a concussion, and I lost a lot of blood resulting in this" she smiled pointing at the blood bag "damn you win this one hands down mom" I whispered with a smile, I kissed her forehead and went around her bed before sitting down
Belle finally came into the room, she was crying "oh belle sweetie I didn't see you there, come give me a hug" mom smiled, belle hurried over and hugged her "Marian I was so worried" she cried "you shouldn't be worried about this lady, she's stronger than the hulk" I piped up, they both looked my way before laughing "I've finally proven something to my son" she gave me a look before grabbing my hand, I lightly kissed her hand and closes my eyes "belle can I speak with you?" Dad asked, I sat at the foot of moms bed
"I was told a certain someone ran the whole way here when she found out" mom smiled, I rose my eyebrows and looked towards the door, seeing belle talking to dad and touching his arm while nodding "she did?" I whispered "she loves you sweetheart, and running to you is what someone who loves you will do" she fixed herself on the hospital bed before reaching for the water glass, I quickly leaned over and grabbed it before handing it to her
"Thank you" she smiled taking a sip before to handle of the door clicked and belle reentered the room followed by dad and her father, her father slowly walked towards me before looking at me awkwardly "Jared-" he began before licking his lips and taking a deep breath that caused his chest to poof out "it's okay sir, she's your daughter and you don't want her to get hurt again but trust me when I say, I'd never ...ever hurt belle" I interrupted, because I knew he wasn't good with all this apologizing, he released a breath before holding out his hand "I hope I'm making the right decision on trusting you" he said firmly, "we'll be great friends sir I'll make sure no man will hurt her" I smiled even though them words hurt me, good friends.. that's it, that's what we were now, she had Max and she was happy
I looked at her father forcing a smile until I seen him chuckling "you i***t" belle said before storming across the room until she was in front of me "good friends?" She laughed before smashing her lips to mine, I pulled away and studied her "you're with Max?" That was more of a question, "Max likes d**k more than me" she smiled wickedly before hearing the laughter of our parents "what it's true, I caught him and John in the parking lot, against Max's car and they where-" I cut her off by smashing my lips to hers, lifting her with one arm
"Put me down you're going to hurt yourself" she scolded "right now I feel like a hundred bucks" I smiled, before setting her back on her feet.
I gave mom a kiss and my dad a hug before I went back to my room with belle worrying about every sudden movement I made "for the last time bee, I'm fine" I spoke too soon as a headache that felt like my brain would split surged through me, I grabbed my head and groaned "what's wrong?" Belle whispered touching my face "these headaches are f*****g killing me" I groaned before looking at her, her still figure was now wobbling with a shake "s**t" I groaned before darkness clouded my vision.
I woke up in bed, I looked around and quickly remembered blacking out "oh my god you're awake" belle said her face quickly appearing in front of me "yeah I am, where did the cast go?" I whispered "they took it off, you healed quite fast" she smiled "in a couple hours, I guess I'm immortal" I joked "more like a month" she added making my smile disappear "A month?" I questioned, maybe I didn't hear her right "yeah a month" she repeated, i gulped hard and squeezed my eyes closed before opening them, i was trying my hardest to understand how i was out a couple of months after fainting "have you got any headaches?" she asked stroking my hair away from my face "no I feel fine" I was in a trance in her eyes, she seemed to be filled with a happiness I've never seen, she stroked my hair before leaning closer to me
Then the door opened "oh my, you're awake" the nurse said with a shocked chuckle.
I was happy to be leaving, obviously mom was still in as she seemed to be having some problems with her health so they wanted to keep her in longer, my father got into a routine of going to work then heading straight to the hospital with food for my mother and himself, and he stayed there most nights and only went home if he needed to get more clothes or his back was bothering him.
"so I'll be babysitting you again, as you're still not 100 percent" belle said as she carried stuff into the house "wait what... I'm fine bee, you go ahead and go to college" she set the bag down and placed her hands on her hips releasing a loud sigh before rolling her eyes "whatever you say Mr Arrogant" she said before stretching her back "i'll just leave you be" she said before walking upstairs, I chuckled lightly until she reappeared with her bag "i'll either be back after college or tomorrow, I need to sort out some stuff then I'll be back to see you" she said before giving me a kiss and then she left, I got to my feet and limped towards the door before watching her leave "what needs to be sorted out?" I whispered to myself, I left the house and tried to follow her but my leg wasn't letting me go anywhere.
I woke up on the sofa, the TV playing south park, and the curtains where closed, I sat up and rubbed my head, a headache evident and my hands shaking ever so slightly. With a sigh I got to my feet and felt pain in my leg, I shrugged it off and walked to the kitchen. The house was quite, too quite, I grabbed some orange juice and poured myself a glass of it before grabbing an apple then the front door opened "dad?" I asked before seeing a girl, she noticed me before frowning, I feel like I know her but I just couldn't remember her, I walked towards her and noticed the tears streaming down her face and her busted lip and eyebrow "my plan didn't really go that well" she bit the good side of her lip before hugging me "please don't be angry Jared, I don't want you losing your head over this" she cried, her cry sent my memories flood back to me and my arms tightened around her "belle" I whispered, she looked up at me and frowned slightly "who done this to you?" I snapped "it was the guy who I seen f*****g Max, obviously he doesn't want people knowing that he enjoys shagging men" she let out a little laugh, but was still crying "i'll f*****g kill him" I snapped pulling my body out of the hug to find the bat my parents had in the closet under the stairs, in the back of my head I kept reminding myself that I needed to tell her, that I woke up with no memory of her as I stormed towards the door, belle trying to stop me but she soon realised that wasn't going to happen, no one lays a hand on my girl.
