Jason's POV
I had just spent the last couple of hours with Nate. I was really glad I did, he finally told me how he was actually feeling. How he was miserable here in this hospital, and how he felt bad for making us all be here as well. We just sat there, bonded, and talked. I really enjoyed it and was glad that Alana talked me in to doing it. Now I was heading back to Alana's room to check up on her. Shane hasn't come back to the room so he must still be with her.
I walked in to see my brother sleeping next to the girl I was starting to fall for, and suddenly a rush of anger came over me. I didn't get to sleep beside her last night. She didn't even ask me to lie down beside her. I sighed…
It's always like this. Shane gets all the girls, every time I start to develop feelings for someone, she falls for Shane. Don't get me wrong, I love my brother, but apparently so does every girl on this planet.
I cleared my throat loudly hoping to get some attention, and to my surprise, it worked. Both Alana and Shane awoke with a start. Shane just sat up and rubbed his eyes, while as soon as Alana woke up her eyes landed right on me.
Alana's POV
I jumped awake from hearing a loud throat clearing. Once my vision came into focus I saw a very angry looking Jason staring at me and Shane. Then I realized what he was staring at. Shane and I fell asleep next to one another in my bed. Oh no. He must be furious with me. We stared at each other for what seemed like hours, then I started, "Jason," but before I could say anything else he quickly walked out the room, slamming the door on his way.
Shane was still very much out of it, but I figured I could try. "Shane, wake up!" I shook him, but he still wouldn't get up. "Er!!!" I groaned. I was going to have to get out of bed. I will not just let Jason walk out on me like that. He didn't even ask what happened. How dare he just assume something such as me wanting to be with Shane? I slowly sat up in my bed, trying not to make any sudden movements that could cause me to go lightheaded. Then I slowly stood up, leaning against the table for a little support. Thank God they unhooked me from the IV because that would have sucked to carry that thing around.
I hurried as quickly as I could out the door and started towards Nate's room (it was the only place I think he would go). While walking, I finally saw Jason, but I didn't think I would catch him before he got on the elevator, so I decided to call out to him, "Jason!" my voice came out very weak and a little hoarse. Crap, that wasn't a good idea. I started to feel a little dizzy and lightheaded, but it did get Jason's attention, so I was happy. He looked back at me, his face red with anger. This only caused me to become more upset. I started to feel a lot weaker and I knew I wouldn't be able to stand much longer. Jason must have noticed that I wasn't feeling well because I could see his facial expression become slightly softer. I walked over to him.
"Jason, you didn't even let me explain," I started trying to calm him down, but it backfired. "Explain?! You were sleeping next to my brother in your bed. What is there to explain?" I could feel the tears coming. I can't take someone yelling at me. I looked away from him and whispered, "You don't know anything," and turned to walk away.
I struggled with the weight of my own body while trying to walk, but suddenly I felt an arm wrap around my shoulders. The arm spun me around, "Well then, tell your side of the story," Jason told me rudely. I shook my head and finally lost all my body strength and collapsed, but before I could hit the floor Jason caught me in his strong arms.
"Alana!" Jason exclaimed while gently tapping my cheek. I was conscious but I couldn't seem to find my voice to speak. "Are you ok?! What's wrong?!" Jason kept asking me questions, but I didn't have the strength to answer. I was struggling to keep my eyes open.
Jason swooped me up into his arms and I could feel him carrying me somewhere. He gently supported my head with his arm as he carried me bridal style. "I need some help!" I heard him exclaim before I lost consciousness involuntarily again for the second time this week.
