Something Unexpected (18+)

Chapter 17 - Change Of Plans

After being in the hospital for over 3 weeks and stuck wearing two cast for another 3 more weeks, I was glad that I was able to come home to my bed. The thing that sucks more, is that I couldn't go to college, with everyone else.

I was pretty bummed out about it. I was looking forward to know what the college life was all about. Now, I get to find out from the comfort of my bedroom. Online. Just great. The good thing, was that I could work at my own pace, but it made me feel really lazy that they give you the choice to do so.

I groaned as I tried to sit up. I hated this. "I need to go to the bathroom!" I shouted. I tried again, but it ended up putting me in more pain. "Fuck this!"

Jax came in and saw what I was trying to do. "Easy, princess, you don't want to injury yourself even more than you already are."

"I don't care! I want to be able to get up and do what I've got to do without fucking help! OW!" I yelped in pain, as Jax carefully, brought both of my legs to the side of the bed. He picked me up, bridal style, from my bed to the bathroom.

"You need my help, princess." He asked, placing me on the chair that was right next to the toilet.

"As a matter of fact, I do." I said sarcastically "Get out and shut the door."

"It's not like I haven't seen you naked before." He smirked.

"I swear to go if you don't shut that door, you will never see me naked again!" I shouted.

"Okay, okay, fine." As he closed the door.

I wish I could smoke some pot to help me deal with this pain, but I can't until I find out what will happen with that son of a bitch who hit me.

"Are you kidding me? We aren't invited to the funeral?" I overheard Brandon say in the next room. I was sitting in the living room, on the couch, waiting for Jersey Shore to come back on. "We are his children, even thought he didn't treat us right, we have a right to pay our respects!"

I lowered the volume just a little bit so I could understand what was going on.

"You did what?" Brandon said in a state of shock. He came into the room and grabbed the remote from me, changing the channel to news channel 8.

In business news for this week, Daniel Underwood, passed away due to a heart attack. We interview the widow, asking who would get the half of the company.

"It was supposed to be the children, but they decided that they didn't want the company." Our mother paused, faking her tears of supposal sadness. "In his will, he wanted our son to take over the company, but both my son and daughter have left us in a time of need. My husband was a good man, he was a wonderful father, but I don't know how our children grew up to be so selfish."

That's what the widow had to say. The funeral will be this Sunday at their home. With more news to come, I'm Angie Leach.

"Selfish? Are you serious?? You just made us look like the assholes, when it's most likely your fault he had the heart attack!" Brandon hung up the phone and threw his hands in his hair. "Fuck her and that fucking company."

I stayed silent. Last time I heard my brother get this heated up was when he found out about Nathan hitting me. I didn't know what to say to him, so we both sat silently. Finally, Jax came in the room and handed me a letter.

"This was in the mail for you." He said as I started open the envelope. As I started to read it, it was from the court office. The drunk driver had agreed to the settlement. Inside, was a check for 2 million dollars. My eyes widen. "What? Something wrong?"

I had the biggest smile on my face. "No." As I handed the letter to Brandon and Jax, as they looked over the letter.

"Holy shit!" Brandon looked at me and hugged me. "Now, you can use it to go to college and not have to get part time job."

"Actually, I'm giving you half. I want you to go to college, too." I said.

"Maddie, I'm not going to take your money."

"Well, you are going to. I shouldn't be the only one who gets to go to college. We were both supposed to go to college together and we will." I told Brandon, I wasn't going to take no as a answer. He was almost about to cry, before I hugged him and whispered in his ear. "You helped me out, now it's time for me to help you out."

~6 Weeks Later~

As I exited my class, I walked over to the parking lot, where Jax was waiting for me. I smiled as he had a joint tucked in behind his ear. "Hey, Princess." He smirked as he put his black sunglasses on.

"You are bring me home?"

"Brandon had to work late tonight. So, I figured that I would pick you up, unless you want to walk." He said as he got onto his motorcycle. I smiled and got on the back of his bike as we drove home.

I ended up putting my stuff down on my desk. I was about to sit down and finish the reading that I had to do, but Jax interrupted me.

"We need to talk." He said. I turned to sit down on my bed.

"Can we make this quick? I really want to get my studies done tonight."

"I'm leaving." He blurred out. It felt like a arrow pierced my heart.

"W-Why?"

"It's my mom. She's got some stuff going on and I have to go and find out what's going on." He explained.

"When you leaving?" I asked.

"Tomorrow morning, bright and early." He sighed. "I wanted to know if you wanted to come with me, but I don't know how long I will be. I don't want you to miss any classes, either."

"You'll be back, right?" Praying that he doesn't have to travel very far.

"I don't know, yet."

"What about us?"

"What about us?" He copied me. "We have asked this question before and I don't know anymore. Maybe me going away will help me figure out what I want."

I started to cry. "So, this is it?" I asked. He held his head down before looking up at me. He came closer. "How about one last night with me?" He asked as I felt his hand rub against my cheek. I grabbed my face and pulled him in for a kiss.

We made love for hours. Kissing every inch of each others skin. Pleasing every part of our bodies. Once we were done, I laid on his chest, cuddling with him, while he played with my hair until I fell asleep. That night, I dreamed of what it would have been to have a life with Jackson Michaelson.
