Okay, so two weeks have passed and Jack's been in the coma. This chapter is a continuation of the previous one. Jack and Chloe kinda have a few hot moments in here so yay! Also more brother insanity. Get used to it, they're a close family, haha. I hope to God they're all pretty IC.. Angel and Bobby aren't hard to write, it's Jack and Jeremiah that are a bit of a challenge for me.
This is gonna branch out into beyond the movie.. It's going to be mostly Jack x OC, but mostly happy stuff.. So this is kind of what Jack's doing while the brothers are getting revenge for their mother's death. :)

The lights were off in Jack's room when Chloe pushed the door quietly after doing her first round of the night. She made her way to the bed quietly and carefully, sitting down on the very edge, her fingers finding his hair and slowly winding through it as she thought he continued to sleep on.. She felt his arm moving, going around her waist, she felt herself being pulled down, pressed against him.
She started to shriek but his index finger from his free hand found her lips and he laughed softly in the dark.
"Bobby swore he'd call me when you woke up, dammit." Chloe muttered, frowning a little. Jack's voice was raspy when he spoke from lack of actual use in almost two weeks, but he mumbled against her ear, "I told him not to.. I wanted to surprise you."
"You certainly did that." Chloe answered quietly, realizing then that the way he was holding her was, well.. It wasn't how you'd hold or hug someone you only considered your friend. His free hand raised, it slid through her bangs, tucking them behind her ear as he looked up into her eyes and then said quietly, "About what you said the day I got shot…"
"Yeah?" she mumbled as she tried to determine whether this was another dream of hers or if it was actually happening. She was happy he was alive and relieved and she wanted more than anything for it to be true.
"Did you mean it?" he asked quietly, his breath held as he waited on an answer, prayed to God he hadn't misheard her or misunderstood the meaning in her words. That held breath was released when she mumbled softly, "I meant every single word of it. I have loved you since we were probably 15.."
Jack broke into a grin that she couldn't see in the darkness, but he pulled her down into bed beside him completely with Chloe rolling over onto her side to be able to look at him.. It was like the few nights she'd climb into his window and they'd talk and listen to music when being at her own house got scary for her.. She trailed her hand over his face, her fingertip drawing slowly across his lips as she mumbled quietly, " You don't have to feel the same.." and was promptly cut off by a kiss that was witnessed by his returning brothers as the overhead light came on and the door to his room was burst open and in they came with their loud banter and their excited arguing back and forth.. Bobby was the one who noticed the 'compromising' position that his baby brother and the girl next door were laying in and he snickered as he nodded to Jack's monitors and wiggling his brows suggested, "Careful jacky boy.. Don't wanna raise that heart rate too much."
"Fuck you, Bobby." Jack grumbled as he pulled Chloe back against him, his fingers tangling in her hair after tugging the braid she wore down. "Ignore them, babe. I think I waited long enough for this to finally fuckin happen and you too." Jack muttered as the monitors started to make low beeping noises.
"Told your ass so." Angel observed as Jeremiah piped in and added, "Young love though."
"Yeah.. Before we know it, gonna have a bunch of baby Jacks running around the block.. With their little chicken legs and their wild blonde hair." Bobby joked as he gave a gentle smirk to his baby brother and admitted quietly, "But most of all, I'm just fuckin glad you're alive and well."
"Scared the fuck out of me and Sofi, man. Sofi wanted me to smack you upside the head for runnin out there." Angel muttered, fixing his gaze on his brother as Jeremiah nodded in agreement and then Bobby told Jack, "And you're gonna relax and get well.. We're gonna handle the revenge thing, kid."
"Fuck no. She's my mom too." Jack butted in, raising to sit.
"Lay your ass back down fireball.. We talked it over.. Almost lost ya once.. We're not losing you and Moms." Angel told his brother in a firm voice as he nodded to Chloe and then added, "Focus on getting back real close with your girl.. Leave this to us.. We clear?"
"Fine." Jack grumbled, though he honestly didn't like being left out of the rest of his brothers plans one fucking bit. They caught him up on what they'd learned - leaving out Jeremiah's huge mistake because they just were not discussing it, it had been handled, and when they finished, Jack asked quietly, "So we get this asshole and it's done?"
"Him and the cops he's got on the make. But I think I got a plan.."
"God help us all." Jack mumbled as he gave a laugh and then hugged his brothers as they were leaving. Chloe had to get back out on the hospital floor doing another round, and reluctantly, he stopped kissing her and let her go, mumbling against her lips , "Go on and finish your rounds, nurse.. Before I change my mind and pull you back into bed with me."
"I'll come back before I have to change out of my scrubs.. I'll bring food." Chloe muttered against his lips as he smirked into the last kiss for a few hours and muttered, "You know me too well, babe."
"That and I know how shitty this hospital's meals are."
