I don't know how long I was out… a day… two days… I wasn't really sure. But I'd made up my mind about Erol. I didn't want him as an aspect of my life. Sure, he was handsome and all, but all the things I liked about him couldn't possibly compare to all the reasons I hated his guts. He hated my family with a passion, he was a suck up to his 'majesty' Baron Praxis, he was a KG, and a few more reasons I'd rather not bring up. But that was my final decision.
The day I finally woke up after the accident, I couldn't get my eyes open. Then again, a lot of my senses weren't working properly. But I felt something soft and warm underneath me, and some kind of think comfy blanket covering me. I was very comfortable where I was, and I didn't want to wake up. I wish I could've stayed like that forever… my first thought was that I was in a hospital, but I remembered that hospitals couldn't afford THIS kind of comfort. Maybe I was back at the Underground? Or maybe… oh no… please don't tell me…
After several moments of lying there in suspense, I finally groaned and tried to get my eyes open. They wouldn't open at first but then…
"You're awake," a familiar voice said from someplace in the room. My eyes shot open when I heard that voice. But once things were in focus, reality quickly suck in… I was in Erol's room again…
My entire body ached, especially my right hip, where the zoomer had hit me, and I had the worst headache in history.
"You've been out for almost two days, Jakie," Erol continued. Two days! Holy canoli!
"Erol…" I managed to say. My voice was really hoarse and scratchy like the time I was about… 9 and I had a really soar throat for days. The man who claimed to love me sat on the side of the bed and touched my forehead.
"Your fever's gone down," he reported. Well, at least that's some good news. Well, it's now or never…
"Erol, you and I…" he stopped me.
"Can't be. I know, Jakie," he finished. What the…? Could this guy read my mind or something! I mean, how the hell did he know I was going to say that! I gave him a look that said 'explain-yourself-right-now'. "I'm getting married." I nearly choked. He's getting married? MARRIED? EROL is getting MARRIED! Well, there's something you definitely don't hear everyday. Well, at least I didn't have to worry about him anymore, and that's a good thing.
"You are?" I asked, trying to hide my excitement. He just nodded.
"Yes. But right now your condition from that accident is still critical. And you have to be well enough to walk by tomorrow afternoon," he stated.
"What happens then?" I asked.
"The Guards you befriended will be escorting you back to your family," he answered. Really! THANK YOU, EROL! "You best rest up." Will do! And he left the room.
Finally, this whole mess had cleared up! Finally I could just look for a way to go home without having to worry about Praxis, or Erol, or anyone else! And for that, I thanked the Precursors.
A/N: Short but sweet! Bet no one was expecting that one. Erol getting married is practically unheard of, right? Right! lol. the next chapter will be more of her getting better, and then chapter 20 will pick up on more Jakie kicks ass. k?
