Chapter 16
Middle of the night...
Alex POV
I woke up. Everything hurt so bad.
"Jeff."
I shook his shoulder a little bit.
"Hmmm?"
"Jeff, did Sebastian's uncle get pain medicine?"
He shot up beside me, startling me a little.
"Are you ok!? Does something hurt!? Did I do something!?"
"Jeff, calm down."
He slid out of bed, and turned the light on.
"I'll go get you some medicine," he said, quietly.
He came back a minute later with a cup of water and 2 pills.
"Here, let me help you sit up."
I winced in pain as Jeff helped me move to a sitting position. Literally everything hurts.
Jeff kept his arms around me, making sure I wouldn't fall over or anything. I took the pills, and sighed. I wish they would work instantly...
Jeff wrapped his arms around me gently, and rested his chin on the top of my head.
"I love you," he whispered.
"I love you too, Jeffy... You know, you saved my life tonight."
"It was scary..."
"The only reason I'm alive is because of you. And you almost died with me."
"I couldn't just leave you there!"
"Jeff, you put your own life in danger."
"I don't want to be alive if you're not alive with me. You're everything I have, Alex. And you mean absolutely everything to me. I didn't care if it was dangerous. I was more scared of losing you than the I was of dying in the fire."
"Jeffy, that means so much to me."
He sighed, and held onto me a bit tighter.
"We're safe now... My dad's in jail for life."
"Good."
"I'm sleepy. Can we go back to bed now? How do you feel?"
"The pain is fading a bit..."
Jeff got out of bed, and shut the light off. He gently helped me lay down and find a comfortable position again. He wrapped his arms around me from behind, holding on tight.
Morning...
Jeff POV
"Hey guys, wake up! Breakfast is downstairs."
I rubbed my eyes, and saw Sebastian.
"Just don't mention anything about Nick's dad. His funeral is later today, and we're all going."
"Ok... We'll be down in a few minutes..." I mumbled.
Sebastian left. Alex was awake now.
"Jeffy... Hurts..."
"I'll go get you medicine. I'll be back in a sec!"
I jumped up, got the medicine for Alex, and then ran back. She took the medicine.
"Can you stand yet? Well... Actually let's try to get you into a better sitting position."
I slowly helped Alex up. I tried to get her on her feet, but she was too weak.
