Chapter 14
KATIE'S POV
"Ethan? Have you seen jake today?" I asked. I was worried about him. I mean it was normal for him to skip, but we had an argument this morning. What if he wasn't ok?
"No. I guess he decided to skip school" Ethan replied casually.
"We had an argument this morning"
"He'll be fine. Don't worry about it" What was I even worrying about? Jake would never get angry over an argument with me? I wasn't anything special.
"I hope so"
"Yeah" He drove me to my house and parked up.
"Thanks Ethan"
"Don't mention it" I smiled
"See you tomorrow?"
"Yeah. Call me later?"
"Sure" I told him before walking inside.
The house was empty. No jake. I sighed. I was really hoping he would be here. I wanted to make sure he was alright. Please be ok jake....
At 6:00PM I was pacing the house. Jake. Is he ok? Please jake.
I heard I knock on the door. Jake! Maybe he forgot his keys? No. How would he have locked the door? Please be him.
I opened the door and found two policemen at the door. Oh god! No. No. No. No.
"Can we see Mrs or Mr Steinwood?"
"N-no. They aren't here" I stuttered. "What happened to jake? Please tell me he is alright"
"I'm sorry, but jake has been in a motorcycle accident. He is injured and just waiting for results" One of them told me.
"Oh my god! Can I see him? How badly is he injured? Motorcycle accident! When?"
"Calm down. We will take you to him now"
"Please. Quickly" I grabbed my coat and ran out of the door.
The policemen took me to the hospital and I half ran to reception. A blonde haired lady sat there.
"Jake Steinwood. Please" I said.
"Second floor, room 25"
"Thank you" I got there quickly and looked through the window of his room. I saw cuts on his face and I gasped.
Jake looked up at me, his eyes wide. Was he surprised to see me? why? He lifted his finger and gestured for me to come in. I did.
"Jake" I whispered. He smiled
"Yeah....I ran into a car on my bike" He laughed. I gave him a horrified look. " I wasn't thinking"
"You could have died!"
"Yeah. Well..."
"I have been worried sick about you all day!" His whole facial expression changed. Shocked. Confused. I couldn't read it.
"You worried about me?" He asked. I thought about lying to him and saying no. But I decided against it.
"Yes" He smirked and I rolled my eyes. Well... That motorcycle accident hadn't scrambled his brain.
"Come lie down with me" I raised one eyebrow. What?
"No. Ill hurt you" I told him. "And you are already hurt enough as it is"
"I think I can take it. I'm a big boy" He mocked. Ugh.
"It isn't my fault if you get hurt you know?" I pulled off my jacket and put down my bag before lying down next to him on the bed. I turned on my side so we were facing each other. I saw his smile deepen.
"Don't pretend you don't love being this close to me"
"Ok... Just because you're hurt, to please you I will lie and say that I do love being this close" I said. Lying obviously. I loved being this close to him.
"I'll make you admit it... Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but I will make you admit that you love being so close to me" I rolled my eyes.
"Good luck with that"
"I won't need luck, princess" He smirked. "I have charm, beauty and-"
"A big ego" He glared at me and I giggled.
"And what did your new boyfriend think of you worrying about me then?" Jake asked.
"He's not my new boyfriend. I'm just going on a date with him. Not that big of a deal"
"Sure? You seem pretty happy with him"
"Yeah I guess. He's a nice guy" Why was I discussing this with him?
"Are you happy with me?" What?
"What type of question is that?"
"Just answer it"
"Yeah" of course I was. I mean he did throw me against a wall and scared the hell out of me, but I needed to forget that.
"Would you go on a date... With me?"
"Again? Why?" I asked. Yes I would would have been a better answer Katie!
"Will you or won't you?"
"Yeah. Yeah I will"
"Good. Maybe I can prove to you that I'm a better guy than Ethan"
"I'm sure you can" I replied. There was an awkward silence... Jake leaned in and kissed me. I closed my eyes and started to kiss him back. It was a long kiss. A good long kiss. And when I pulled back it was only to breathe.
Butterflies were dancing in my stomach. Ethan never gave me this feeling. He probably never would. I mean he was great sure, but jake..... Jake was much, much better. Jake moved a little closer to me and hissed a little in pain.
"How badly are you hurt?" I asked.
"Not too bad. Just a few cuts and bruises. Lucky I guess. I have to stay here for another hour or two though. Hurts like hell though"
"I'll stay with you" It was the least I could do for him. He was hurt.
"You don't have to. I-" I cut him off.
"I want to" That made him smile.
"I can't argue with that and I won't"
"Good"
"You can go to sleep for a bit if you want. Ill wake you up when it's time to go home" He told me.
"Are you sure? I am really tired. I shouldn't be though. I spent half my dad sleeping yesterday"
"Yeah. You weren't in class. You went home to sleep?" I didn't want to tell him that he had caused me to pass out. He'd feel awful... Or wouldn't....
"Never mind it's a long story"
"Tell me later?"
"Probably nothing you want to hear. It's nothing really"
"I want to know what happened to you" I stayed silent "I'll find out"
"I don't think you will"
"Who else knows?"
"Ethan"
"What did you do Katie?" He seemed concerned now. He couldn't possibly think that I-? No. No. No. I had to tell him now in case he thought...
"I passed out and woke up in school at night" He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yeah. Ethan just helped me get out of school" Jake nodded.
"Are you sure you are alright?" I nodded
"Yeah" He pulled me closer to him and soon I fell asleep.....
