Hey! So I appreciate you all waiting for this chapter, I finished it a few days ago and had a couple of reasons for not posting it. First I really wanted to choose a specific update day and have now chosen Fridays therefore I waited till Friday(Also I didnt get as much as a reception for the chapter when I updated midweek so either you didn't like it or it was a bad time?) Also since I didn't have the opportunity to prewrite some chapters before I posted the last one I used the last few days to do so which is good.
Emm this chapter is like a split screen type thing showing both Jesse and Becas side and you get a bit more info on who they interact with etc. This isn't a particularly long chapter it's kind of a filler but yeah I hope you like it and please review or PM me any feedback! All types is appreciated.
She didn't even know his name. He had saved her life and she didn't know who he was. What if he hadn't come back for her? She needed to thank him, find him, know him.
But it was going to be hard to do considering she was in a frigging hospital bed being watched like a hawk. Okay so maybe her ankle had been extremely damaged...and she may have had a slight breathing problem thanks to all that smoke...and a few burns from where the flames had attacked her...but apart from that she was absolutely fine! But of course no one believed her. She was 'blinded from her trauma' which apparently meant she was incapable of having any say of what happened to her. Well that was Aubrey's view. She had everyone else almost convinced but Aubrey was ruining it all.
"Seriously, I'm fine" she repeated for the hundredth time.
"Nope. You see? Right there. 'Fine'. Not great. Or healthy. Or energised. Just fine. Fine is not good enough. You need to be 100%." Beca rolled her eyes. She loved Aubrey but sometimes she was just downright annoying.
Sighing heavily he slumped her body back against the bed and stared up at the dreary ceiling blocking out the sound of Aubrey, once again, strongly informing the doctor she was not fit to leave.
Her thoughts returned to –very handsome- fire-fighter that had saved her. She didn't get to thank him. After all he had risked his life to help her sorry ass. The least she could do was say a simple two words. Secretly she had hoped that he would check up on her, maybe visit the hospital and see how she was doing. But that was ridiculous. He was only doing his job. She was just another idiot he had saved. He had probably forgotten her by now.
She mentally slapped herself for letting herself feel disappointment towards that thought. She had long ago learned that men were all disappointments. Why should he be any different? But what if this one was?
"Look, I've said I was sorry like twenty times, what else do you want from me?!" jesse moaned frustrated at the direction of the conversation.
"Jesse" his uncle stated in a stern voice. "I may be your uncle but I am also your captain which means you treat me with respect. I understand we have had this discussion previously but you have to understand what your actions could have caused. I won't get into it again but you need to know, from now on you follow orders directly. None of this hero business. You were lucky this time. That doesn't mean it'll be the same next time" His tone softened towards the end.
"I know, I know." Jesse muttered quietly. "I just couldn't leave her in there. But you're right. From now on I will do as I am told"
His uncle nodded his head gratefully and Jesse rose to leave the office.
"Wait! I wanted to ask...Is everything okay? You've been pretty quiet the last couple of days" the concern in his voice made Jesse bow his head.
"I've just been thinking a lot. This thing is harder than I thought."
"It will get easier. Once you get used to it" His uncle patted him on the shoulder. "Between you and me, and not as your captain speaking, I was proud of you for having the courage to save their lives, even if it put yours and others at risk"
"Yeah." Jesse replied softly, hesitant to say what he wanted to.
"Do you...do you know what happened to her?"
His uncle looked at him confused before realisation dawned on his face. "The girl you went back for?" Jesse nodded in response. "All I know is she was taken to the Carlyle Hospital. Sorry son."
"Don't be. It's okay" Jesse headed for the door again and just before shutting it his uncle shouted "you're going to look for her aren't you?"
Jesse chuckled before straightening his features and looking his uncle straight in the eye.
"I'm not going to just look for her. I'm going to find her" And with that he shut the door and started his search. Not knowing how life changing the results would be.
And thats it...
Thank you for the continued support it's great! As always feel free to ask any questions or put any comments about what you would like to see happen and I will try my best to incorporate it! Have a great week folks and thanks again! X
