Wrong Number From Jace

Aftermath

Aftermath

BEEP...BEEP...BEEP

I can hear sounds from my ears, a beep?

I pry my eyes open, and the first thing I saw was the white ceiling. I tried looking on my left and a machine stood beside me that was producing the sound. I had tubes connecting my nose, and my hands are painful.

It's like I went through acupuncture!

“Audrey...” I hear from my right ear, which melts my heart. Jace.

I turned my head to side, seeing Jace with band-aids and bandages covering half of his face.

Aftermath Conversation – 6:32 pm
Audrey – Jace

“Hey...” I managed to choke out. My throat felt like the Sahara desert, how long was I asleep?

“How many days I was in this room?” I ask, Jace's head lifted up from my bed, resting it on my chin.

“6 months...”

“What? 6 months? Oh my god--” then as my breathing got faster, Jace chuckles.

A joke! Played it well Mitchell.

“Sorry, I just want to see you smile, alright?”

“Yeah, sure.” I said sarcastically, plastering an exaggerated smile on my desert lips, which makes him chuckle even louder.

Just as the doorknob was turned, he immediately clears his throat from laughing and stood, as the doctor went inside the room, to check up on me, I guess.

He looked like Taylor Lautner. Damn.

“Is she awake?” he asked in like a teenage voice.

'Oh yeah, I'm awake as you can see sir, I'm sure those eyes would be useful to know that...' was the answer I want to give him, but I better keep my sarcasm off with this institution.

“Y-Yes, although I'm not sure if she will be okay...”

“So far, from the medical records for her, she is safe from harm. She got operated from her shot from her right shoulder, and the stab she got from her stomach, that luckily didn't go deep, since the knife is small. I would continue to check her time to time, and tomorrow, she can go.” he says, as he flips pages on his brown clipboard, while scribbling down something on the paper.

“Thanks.” Jace says, and seats on the chair beside me.

He got out of the room, and finally, when we were alone again.

Things got super awkward. I broke It by asking him a question.

“What happened after all the drama?”

Jace's smiles, and got a grasp of my hand.

“Henry's in jail. And I don't even know why but your Dad didn't sort of...put me in a case.”

“What do you mean?”

“I stabbed you, Audrey. I hated myself for doing that!”
