Everything I Do: I Do It For You
Chapter Twenty-Five: Together Again
I knew that we'd be together again, but I didn't think it would be like this, I never imagined it would be like this, I don't care how it is as long as I'm with you, as long as I'm with you…
Courtney woke up to the scent of a hospital, and pale white walls. For a moment she thought that she'd died. Then she saw the IV in her arm and saw a doctor standing by. She tried to sit up, but her arm hurt pretty badly and she laid back down.
"You're awake! How do you feel?" he asks, checking her IV bag.
"Like hell. What happened?" she asks her voice groggy.
"I'm Dr. Shoemaker, and you took quite the beating. I'll let the cops fill you in on that part. You have a broken wrist, a concussion and some serious facial injuries. At this rate though, you should be able to go home tomorrow afternoon." He says.
"Where's my mom?" she asks.
"She's on her way. She was visiting a friend in another town but she'll be here soon." He says.
"Jason, do you know anything about Jason Morgan?" she asks, it finally all hitting her, the memory of the wreck, and of AJ hitting her.
"I was told that you'd ask. He's awake and been asking for you for the past two hours. Do you feel well enough to see him?" he asks.
"Get me in there now." She says, forgetting all about the pain in her body.
Dr. Shoemaker called a nurse to help her into a wheelchair. They wheeled her down the hall and Dr. Chapin spotted them.
"I'll take her the rest of the way." He says with a smile.
"Hey Dr. Chapin!" She says smiling up at him.
"Please, call me Mark, and are you alright? I'm the one who called the cops about it." He says.
His dirty blonde hair curls around his ears, he has a large angular nose, and blue eyes. They aren't the same kind of blue as Jason's though, they seem like they are hiding something.
"I'm okay considering, I just need to see Jason. Thank you for looking out for me. You saved my life." She says right as they reach Jason's door. She could hear him yelling clear down the hall at a doctor, begging to be able to see her.
"Jase…" She says at the door. He turns, and the look of anger drains from his face.
"Courtney! Oh my God look at you! Come here." He says, more upset than she'd ever seen him. The doctors leave the room and Courtney pushes herself to him, then climbs into his hospital bed. They held each other so tight.
"I love you so much Courtney, I'm sorry for all of the stuff that I've done. What happened to you?" He asks after a few minutes.
"First off, I'm sorry for what I did, I never meant for you to end up here. And as for what happened to me, it was your brother. But, you can't do anything to him! I can't lose you after all this, I've lost enough." She said, she could see the anger and concern on his face.
"I won't do anything now because you asked me but if he ever, EVER messes with you again, then I will kill him I swear. I knew we'd be together again, but I never imagined that it would be like this.." he says, grabbing her hand.
"Me either. But we're together now. I was so afraid that you were going to die and that it'd be all my fault." She started, only to be caught of by his voice.
"It's not your fault, none of it was your fault." He said.
She laid in his arms for a little over an hour, when Dr. Shoemaker told her that she had to go, and that he'd already given them an extra fifteen minutes. So reluctantly they said goodbye, and Courtney went though all of the legal crap with the cops. AJ was being held in a mental facility in Upstate, New York. The pain meds soon kicked in and Courtney felt much better, but on the inside, she felt even better. Jason was getting out in two days, and she'd be out tomorrow.
