Everyone has their own little corner in the room. Jack was standing by the chairs. My dad was by the door incase my uncle tried to run. My mom was sitting by me on the side of the bed. My uncle was standing five feet in front of me. Where as I, I was laying down in a hospital bed, wondering why the hell was my uncle trying to kill my best friend. I took a deep breath and then I started going off on him.

Me: What the hell man? Couldn't you have explained to me why you were going to shoot him? I had to jump and save his life and once I got shot what did you do? You just left me there for me to bleed to death.

I tried to lung and attack him every time I yelled, but knowing my mom, she wouldn't let me hurt him, whenever I'm injured.

Me: What kind of person are you? You're just a piece of shit.

All he did was stay quiet and looked at my parents.

Uncle: Y'all just gonna let her talk to me like that?

I turned to my mom and mouthed "sorry" but instead she looked at me and smiled.

Mom: Yes. I give her permission. Plus I thought you wouldn't care since you cursed around everyone in the family.

Uncle: Fine what do you want?

I clenched my fists and wanting to deck him in the face. This guy really wants to get punched in the face.

Me: Are you f – ing kidding me?! Did you not just hear anything that I just said?! YOUR ASS ALMOST KILLED MY BEST FRIEND! Then when you shot me, you walked away like nothing happened. What were you trying to do, frame him?

Uncle: You don't know what you're getting yourself into Kim. He's no good for you.

Jack: And what makes you any better? How am I no good to her anyways?

He put a smirk on his face and started walking towards Jack.

Uncle: Please, I see you around town. You think you slick. All you do is skateboard and break little girls' hearts.

I wanted to laugh. He knows nothing about Jack for him to be criticizing Jack. He thinks he's better then everybody when he damn sure isn't. That's why my auntie left his ass. The man is a maniac.

Me: You know what? I don't have time for this. You almost killed my best friend for no reason and you also almost killed me. You almost killed your own niece you son of a bitch. Dad, can you please make him leave.

My dad looked like he wanted to punch him, but we're at the hospital and he doesn't want to make a scene. He escorted my uncle out as my mom sat up.

Mom: I'll let you two talk. I'm gonna come back tomorrow to check up on you ok?

Me: Thanks mom.

She gave me a hug and walked out the room, leaving me and Jack in the hospital room that I'm in.

Jack: And then there were two.

Me: (laughs) Yup. Look I'm sorry. None of this would've had happened if I hadn't invited you over.

He looked hurt and came over to sit by me.

Jack: Look it's not your fault. Your uncle is right. I am a jerk.

Me: Jack, you're not a jerk. Would a jerk give advice to me about my dad? Would a jerk save his little sister?

Jack: (smiles) Thanks Kim.

Me: You're an amazing guy Jack. Don't let anybody tell you otherwise.

Jack: Thanks. Well I should probably go now.

Me: Actually, why don't you stay?

Jack: And where am I going to sleep?

I didn't want to make my crush for him to obvious but it was hard to hide that I was blushing. But then again he is slow.

Me: Maybe with me?

He looked at me like I was on drugs for something. He smirked and I could tell what he was thinking. Ok. Maybe he isn't as slow as I thought.

Me: (laughs) OMG! Not like that. Just lay here.

Jack: (sighs) Fine, but no kicking.

Me: Whatever Brewer.

I started to scoot over as he started to lay down by me. He may feel awkward but I know that I wasn't going to. He may be my bro but at times I want him to be more than that. He put his arm around me, giving me chills and comfort.

Me: Thanks for being there for me whenever I need you.

Jack: You know I'll always be here with you.

We just laid there until we fell asleep. I felt protected around him. He just means a lot to me. When will he feel the same way?
