Sorry about not updating sooner I just kind of lost my mojo for a little while. I don't know anything about gun shot wounds so I'm sorry if I'm way off.

"Can I please have a big Mac or something? Anything but this!" Jade held up the plate with what was supposed to have a hamburger on it, But really it looked like a mud pie on a bun. It was an hour since Jade's dad came to talk to Tori. She was trying to wait until Jade had eaten before she told her, but Jade was not cooperating with the idea. "No Jade. Eat that and then if your stomach can handle it you can go home and eat all the big Macs that you want. They just want to see you eat something before they send you home. Now eat." Tori said the last part a bit more forcefully than she should have. Even she winced at how she sounded. "I didn't mean to snap at you, Jade. Its just that I'm worried about you. I almost lost you." Tori looked down.

"I'm the one who should be sorry. I let that bitch take you. It's my fault. I'll be fine. Now go home and get a shower and some clean clothes. By the time that you get back I will have eaten and have been released." Tori's eyes flashed

"NO Jade! You didn't let her take me, she KIDNAPPED ME! You didn't want that to happen as much as I didn't. Please don't blame yourself. It's no one's fault, except maybe Jasmines. And she's mentally unstable." Tori Kissed Jade on her forehead and walked out the door. Before she was totally out of sight she turned and spoke to Jade over her shoulder. "By the way Jade, I met your father today." Then she left. Tori could hear Jade yelling for her to come back and the nurses telling Jade to quiet down. Tori smiled. Jade was going to be four different kinds of pissed when she got back.

oOoO

Three hours later Tori walked back into Jades room with a drink in each hand. Jade sat on her bed in a pair of blue hospital scrubs. Tori giggled at the idea of Jade threatening them out of a young intern. Silently she put one of the drinks in Jades outstretched hand.

"I see that you love me enough to sneak me in a drink." Despite her playful tone Jade's face gave her away. She was still mad about Tori's announcement about her father and subsequent disappearance.

"I didn't sneak it in, I called in to be sure you could have it." Tori smiled at Jade, hoping to make peace.

"That's my little miss sunshine." Jade's tone was sour. Tori decided to throw the dog a bone.

"He wants to see you. He wants to be back in your life again. I know that you aren't on speaking terms with you him but your daughter almost dying tends to put things into perspective for you."

Jade looked at Tori like she suddenly sprouted a second set of arms. "He is a slave driver. He just wants to make it public that I'm his daughter because he thinks it will help his business." Tori rolled her eyes.

"How will it help his business? Everybody and their brother already knows that you're his daughter. All you have to do it look on Wikipedia." Jade didn't answer, she just furrowed her brows and looked down, knowing that she lost.

"Fine. When all this blows over we can meet for lunch sometime." Jade sighed like it was the biggest inconvenience in the world.

"Way to be an adult, babe." Tori rolled her eyes.

Before Jade could use one of her snappy comebacks a nurse walked in with her release papers in hand. "Sweet Jesus, I thought that you guys were going to be another 2 hours." The nurse glared at her, if Jade wasn't a patient she might have done worse.

"Here are your papers; your information for your follow up visit is in the packet, plus any information on how to care for the wound at home. If there's any sign of infection go to the emergency room. Other than that we'll see you in three days. Any questions?" Jade and Tori both shook their head. The nurse walked out.

"Her bedside manor was horrible." Jade grinned like it wasn't her fault. Tori just grabbed her bad and rolled her eyes.
