Eli's P.O.V
I found out about Jane's accident from the news surprisingly. They got hold of the story and aired it on the ten o'clock news. I grabbed my keys, hopped in the car and drove as fast as I could over to the hospital. I couldn't quite come to terms with what had happened, it seemed like just yesterday Jane was in my arms letting all of her emotions out. I just wish I could've done something to help. I realized too late that I had made a mistake hooking up with India. I had strong feelings for Jane, what can I say she made me happy. I know she has some mixed feelings for her "complicated best friend" ,but I was going to be there for her anyway. I entered the hospital and ran over to the front desk. "Hi I'm looking for Jane Quimby, could you please tell me what room she is in." I was so nervous. "Jane is in room 106, it's right down the hall and should be the first door on the left." I thanked her and hurried down the hallway. When I got by the room the doctor had stopped me and I explained to him that I was a friend of Jane's and he told me about her situation. I couldn't believe it at all.. she wasn't going to know who I was. I still needed to see her though. I slowly walked through the door and noticed what must've been her best friend already there. She had her head on his shoulder.. I longed for that ,but I needed to focus. He turned around and saw I was waiting and I watched as he kissed her on the cheek and left the room. I also couldn't help but notice the small smile that crept across her face. I noticed her close her eyes for a minute and when she opened them I took that as my chance to go approach her. I sat down next to her. "Hi Jane um.. I know you don't know who I am at the moment but, my name is Eli we worked together for quite a bit, I'm also going to be here for you because I consider you a really close friend to me." I watched as she tried to take in what I was saying. She slowly opened her mouth and began to speak. "I'm sorry I can't quite remember anything but, I need a little bit of time before I sort of get close to anyone at the moment.." before she could continue speaking I interrupted. "The last thing I want is for you to ever feel uncomfortable or overwhelmed, we will take this one step at a time." I could see she was tired so I helped tuck her in and let her get some rest. While I was about to leave I heard her say "thank you" I turned around and gave her a smile. I needed to be there for her.
Jane's P.O.V
The guy slowly approached me and sat down on the bed. He began to tell me who he was and I noticed he said that we worked together. I was going to need to ask someone later where it was that I worked. He seemed nice and he wasn't that bad to look at either ,but I noticed he had this twinkle in his eyes when he looked at me. I felt a little overwhelmed at the moment and told him that I wasn't quite ready to get close to anyone yet. He respected what I had to say and was sweet about it. I definitely could see why we were friends he seemed like a great person to have around. I started to yawn, I didn't realize how tired I really was. I've been through a lot today and he realized that. He helped tuck me in which I thought was really cute. Just as he was headed for the door I let out a small "thank you" I watched as he turned around and gave me a smile which I returned. I closed my eyes and was ready to take a nap hopefully my dreams would offer some help to learning more about my life.
xxxx The next chapter will have Ben in it and he will go visit Jane in the hospital for the first time. Also, Jane's dreams are going to give her some things to think about.
