Chapter 25: On The Right Track
Jim sat in his wheelchair in the hospital room looking out the window. A couple days passed since everything went down between him and his brother Dan. Jim quickly glanced to the door when he heard it open. He seen it was Melinda "Hey" she said lowly. She will still unsure how to act around him even though he wasn't mad at her anymore did he forgive her yet? "Hey. What do you got" Jim seen her holding a white bag and a beverage holder holding two beverages that looked like coffee. "I wasn't sure what you wanted so I got a hot chocolate and regular coffee along with a few donuts" Melinda said. "That's cool" Jim said. Melinda sat down "So which one do you want" she asked holding both cups up. "Hot chocolate is good" Jim said. Melinda nodded and handed him the cup with hot chocolate. She put her coffee down and opened the wite bag up "I got half and half. Custard or Jelly" she asked. "Jelly" Jim smiled. Melinda handed Jim a jelly donut. Melinda got a custard donut out and started to eat it. The room was filled with silence as they ate their breakfast. "So umm...any word from the doctor yet" Melinda asked. "Actually yeah. They wanna do a blood test and then I can leave. I will be in a cast for 6 weeks then I have to do physical therapy for a month" Jim said. "That doesn't sound so bad" Melinda said. "No it doesn't" Jim said. "Umm Jim you ummmm" Melinda seen jelly on Jim's chin "You have some jelly on you chin" Melinda took her finger and wiped it off. "Thanks" Jim said. Melinda nodded "Your welcome" she said. The nurse walked in "You ready to go for your tests" the nurse asked. "Yeah" Jim nodded. Melinda wiped her face off "Want me to come" Melinda asked. "No that's ok" Jim said. Melinda nodded "Ok" she said. Melinda watched as the nurse wheeled Jim out of the room. Melinda put the stuff on the nightstand and laid down on Jim's bed. She rested her head on his pillow inhaling his scent. She missed the closeness they used to have. She knew they weren't back together and she didn't know if they ever would get back together. All she knew was that he was just keeping her safe from her husband. They were both afraid something might happen if she went back home but gladly she wasn't.
Melinda and Jim sat in the cafeteria later that afternoon after getting his tests done. Melinda handed him his food "So when will we know the results of your tests" she asks. "Probably later today" he answered and started to eat his meatball marinara sub. Melinda nodded and started to eat her sub. "Melinda" a guy said walking up behind her. Jim quickly looked up and Melinda looked behind her. "Steve" Melinda said. Jim's eye's widen. "What are you doing here" Melinda asked. "Looking for you. Why haven't you came home" Steve asked. Melinda sighed "Why should I" she said. "Because I wanna work this out. We can go see a marriage counselor or something" Steve said. Melinda shook her head "No I don't want to. Steve, we haven't loved each other in a long time. You know that and I know that" Melinda said. "Mel, please" Steve said. "No. I'm not leaving Jim" Melinda said. "He has his own family. You are coming home with me" Steve grabbed her arm. "Let me go Steve" Melinda tried to cut loose of his grip. "LET HER GO" Jim yelled at him. He quickly moved his chair to Melinda. The cafeteria went quiet. Steve looked at Melinda and let go of her arm "I'm sorry Mel" Steve said. "Is there a problem here" a security guard asked as he walked over to the three of them. "No officer, he was just leaving" Melinda said. "Ok" Offiicer nods and leaves them. "I'm so sorry Melinda" Steve said. "Steve you need to go home. I'll send you papers soon. I'm sorry it had to end this way" Melinda took a deep breath and pulled off her wedding ring and band and handed it to her soon to be ex-husband. Jim's eyes widen. He never expected Melinda to do that. Now this proved to him she really loved him. "Mel, I..." Steve couldn't bring himself to say anything else and turned around and walked out of the room heartbroken. Jim took her hand in his as they watched him leave.
Jim and Melinda laid on his hospital bed together. "How you doing babe" Jim asked. "I'm good" Melinda smiled. Jim lifts her chin up to him and kisses her gently on the lips. Melinda turns over and puts her arms around him. "Hello" Nurse Quinlan walks in the room "I hope I didn't interuppt anything" she said. "No what's up" Jim asked. "We got your results and I think you are gonna wanna know this" she said. Melinda and Jim exchanged worried looks to each other. "I'm sorry to tell you this but it seems the hospital made a mistake" Nurse Quinlan started telling them. Melinda and Jim looked at each other as she told them the news.
