Jezzabelle's POV

I burst through the door and stared at Xander with tears spilling out of my eyes. He looked my way and his features softened. I ran as fast as I could and jumped into his arms. I cried into his neck as he held me as close as he could.

"I love you too," I whispered. I heard a sniffle and I pulled away and cried harder when I saw him crying. "I thought I was gonna lose you" I cried. He shook his head and wiped my tears, "I am not going anywhere" he said. I nodded and hugged his neck, "I love you" I whispered, "What" he asked. I pulled away and caressed his cheek. "I love you" I said again. A smile lit up his face and he crashed his lips onto mine. "I love you too" he said into the kiss.

I pulled away and rested my head in his neck. He held me close and we just sat there. I gasped and pulled back, "Your wound" I said lifting his shirt and running my fingers over the stitches that lie on his stomach. "I am fine" he said kissing my head. I nodded but kept my fingers rubbing his side when I saw how much he was enjoying it.

"Josh wanted to know when you woke up" I said looking up at him. He nodded and went to get out of bed. I jumped off his lap and pushed him back down on the bed. "You're hurt," I said. He shook his head and sat back up, "I am fine" he said standing to his feet. I laughed when I saw him in his hospital gown. He looked weird because he was a big man and I could see the bottom of his boxer shorts, it was that short.

He looked down and glared, "Who the hell put me in this?" he said coldly. "Calm down," I said, patting his chest. He narrowed his eyes at me and untied the gown letting it fall to the floor. I gulped as I let my eyes roam his bare chest and down to his juicy thighs.

"I um have to change," I said, grabbing my bag and running to the bathroom. I know I just changed but we are about to go into public and I need to look presentable.

I walked back into the room and saw Xander sitting on the bed with his eyes closed and looking up at the ceiling

I walked back into the room and saw Xander sitting on the bed with his eyes closed and looking up at the ceiling. "Baby" I whispered, walking over and standing between his legs. He opened his eyes and I frowned when I saw tears in them. "What is wrong?" I asked caressing his cheek, he leaned into my hand and sighed. "I am pathetic, I can't even raise my arm high enough to get this stupid gown off without my side hurting." he said. I gave hima small smile and pecked his lips. "You could have asked for help, I will not judge you" I said. He nodded and looked down. I reached my arms behind him and untied the gown. I slowly started to bring it forward until it was completely off his body. He sat there in only his boxers. I gasped when I saw him bleeding on his wound. I looked at the gown and saw it covered in blood. How did I not notice this before? "How did this happen" I asked him, he looked up at me and tears filled his eyes again. "When I raised my arm I ripped the stitches" he whispered. I nodded and leaned over him to press the button to call the doctors.

"We are gonna get it fixed." I said, kissing his forehead. He nodded and laid his head on my stomach. The doctor walked in and his eyes widened when he saw Xander's wound. "Ok, lay down on your back and I will restichtch it." he said walking out of the room. Xander laid down and looked up at me. "You know it is ok to cry" I told him. He nodded and grabbed my hand. The doctor walked in and sat his supplies down. "I am sorry to say we ran out of numbing medicine so this will hurt a little bit" he said. I looked at Xander, "Ok" his deep voice said. The doctor nodded and started to unpackage his tool.

He rubbed alcohol over the wound and Xander hissed squeezing my hand. "Can you distract him?" The doctor asked me. I nodded and looked down at Xander, "Hey, look at me" I said, he looked away from the wound and at me, "You're fine" I said caressing his cheek. He shook his head and tears filled his eyes once again, "Don't hold back your tears. I know you were taught to never show emotion, but I want you to cry in front of me because I know it means you love me enough to show emotion" I said to him. Tears fell down his face and I felt my eyes watering. "I love you so much," he croaked. I smiled, "I love you too," I said to him.

"I am about to put the needle in to start threading" the doctor said. I nodded and did the first thing that came to mind. I slammed my lips onto Xander and kissed him, he kissed back. We continued kissing for a while until we heard a chuckle from behind us. "Well that is one way to distract him," the doctor said. Xander glared at him and I turned red with embarrassment. "You can leave now, but I want him to go straight home and rest" the doctor said to me. I nodded and he walked out of the room.

A nurse walked in with a wheelchair and her eyes widened, "I am sorry sir." she said, running out of the room. I looked down at Xander and his face was scrunched up in pain. I wrapped my arms around him and helped him sit up. He groaned in pain and I winced. "I have to get you dressed" I said. He nodded and looked down in embarrassment, "Don't be embarrassed you are hurt and I know you would do the same for me" I said. He sighed but kept his head down. I picked up the pair of shorts that were in his bag and slipped them up his legs, "Hold onto my shoulders and lift yourself up a little" I instructed, he did that and I slid the shorts all the way up. "Can you stay shirtless so you don't get blood on any of your clothes?" I asked. He nodded and I helped him up and over to the wheelchair. The nurse walked back in and started to wheel him out. I ran and pulled the car around. I stood by it and shivered when I realised it was cold. I grabbed the blanket from the backseat and walked back into the hospital. Xander was being rolled my way, I covered him in the blanket, "It is cold and you're topless" I told him. He chuckled and then winced in pain.

The nurse went to help him out of the wheelchair but he stopped her, "Don't touch me" he said in a low voice. "I got it" I said, helping him stand.

Once he was in the car I drove us home and put him in bed.
