Jacks POV

"I've been working in the hospital since I was 18, I've always wanted to be a nurse and help people out, but this is my position at the moment, desk clerk, and taking care of the oldies on their weekly park visits." Melody told me

I took a sip of my coffee and nodded.

"That isn't good, I should write a letter." I replied.

"That wouldn't help, not one bit." She added onto my conclusion, "What do you do?" she asked after.

"Well, I don't do anything, I won the tickets for… uh, titanic in a poker game, and before that I was living under a bridge." I told her, she didn't look one bit shocked, I was happy she didn't think differently of me.

"I used to live in the local café, sleeping on their comfy cushioned chairs for about a month and then I was invited back home to my parents."

"That's lucky, unfortunately my parents died, they were both stabbed coming home from visiting my grandma, so I don't have any family." I informed her, Melody put her hand on my leg.

"I'll always be there if you need to talk about something."

I didn't exactly know why she would say that, maybe she felt a connection as well, who knew, but I was happy I met her, this beautiful women.

Roses POV

I'd been laying here in the bed for around 4 hours, Jack had never came back, I was starting to think that he had been hurt or maybe Cal had found him and chopped him up. The door quickly opened and in stepped Jack.

"Where have you been?!" I sat up quickly.

"I'm sorry, I ran into an old friend, and I kind of got side tracked." He looked me in the eye.

"You know I haven't been able to get up because of my leg, and you're out there chatting with an old friends while I'm here starving and needing to use the toilet?" I spat in his face.

"I'm so sorry Rose, I did try and get away." He replied walking over and placed a kiss on my forehead. I smiled up at him, trying to forgive him.

"So, what'd you bring me?" I saw his face go from calm to aware.

"I guess I didn't really think of that either, but hey, I will go out right now and get you a great big meal from the diner 2 streets across." He turned and walked out very fast, leaving me to lay here for the next however many hours I had too.

'I'm sorry Jack' I thought to myself, I couldn't just lay here and wait for him to come back.

I sat on the edge of the bed and ran my fingers through my hair. I could do this, it was just like walking before, without heels mind you. I placed my two feet on the floor, lifting myself up onto my left leg and gripping the side draw for balance. I can do this.

I put pressure on my right leg, the padding and strands wrapped around it kind of helped. Finally, I was standing on two feet, I took a step forward on my right leg, then on my left, before I knew it I was walking. I walked to the small bathroom and did my business, then as I was done I walked to the small table which held my dress and put it on. I walked over to the small brown flat door, turned the silver door knob and without looking back stepped out into the daylight.
