Chapter 14
It had been a week since the attack on Jordan. She was still completely unconscious and had not stirred at all. The doctors were getting worried and had now pronounced that she was in a coma. Jeff wouldn't leave her side and it was clear that his feelings for her were so profound that if anyone even tried to make him leave they would pay for it. He was sitting there holding her hand like he always did when Matt walked into the room.
"Jeff you look like hell." Matt said as he sat in one of the other empty chairs in the private room.
"So what. Jordan looks worse than me and I am not leaving until she wakes up." Jeff said stubbornly.
"Little bro I understand how you feel. I can't imagine what I would do if it were Lita lying there right now but you need to get out of here. Staring at her sleeping form will only make matters worse for yourself." Matt said with a sigh.
"Look I am not leaving until she is awake all right." Jeff said stubbornly as he watched Jordan's eyelids to see if they would open yet.
"Jeff you're staring at her closed eyes." Matt pointed out with an annoyed look. "At least go to the cafeteria to get yourself something to eat."
"No I don't need to." Jeff said shaking his head. "I know you're just looking out for me but Matt I can't leave her. There is no way I can just let her be alone in this room and then if she wakes up and no one is in here. Just imagine how scared she is going to be." Jeff said shaking his head.
"Jeff I understand what you're saying. Look what if I stay while you go and get some air and stuff?" Matt suggested to him with a pointed look. "I promise I won't leave her side until you get back."
"No I just can't leave her." Jeff said shaking his head as he gripped her hand tightly to him.
"Jeff you need to think about your own health. Don't you want to get better so that you can get revenge for her?" Matt asked pointing out the obvious.
"Matt just back off." Jeff snarled without looking up at him. "I can't leave her here alone like that."
"You're not leaving her alone. I swear that I won't leave her side until you get back." Matt said going to the other side of Jordan's bed. " Jeff look at me. I have never lied to you and I promise I won't start now."
"I can't leave her Matt. I just can't leave her side at all." Jeff said with tears in his eyes. "She means everything to me at the moment and I feel so helpless. I can't help her, I can't protect her from whatever is going through her mind at the moment. I can't make her feel better and I can't see her smile."
"Jeff everything is going to be okay." Matt said as he walked over and hugged his brother. "Nothing bad is going to happen to her in the hospital, I won't let it. If you go and get some air and stuff I promise not to leave her side, even for a second."
"No I just can't." Jeff said shaking his head.
"All right, fine then. If I bring you something good to eat will you at least try and eat it?" Matt asked with a sigh.
"Yeah." Jeff agreed as he looked at Jordan more closely. "Does it look like her eyelids are moving to you?" He asked suddenly.
Matt leaned close and took a look at Jordan, frowning he backed away. He had to admit it did look like she was starting to come around a little bit. He smiled over at his brother and then turned towards the door, determined to get a doctor in there to check her out. Before he made it he heard her voice as she finally came around.
"Jeff?" Jordan asked opening her eyes and looking at him.
"Hey beautiful." Jeff said with a smile. He leaned over and kissed her lightly on the forehead. "We're gonna get a doctor to come in here and look at you, make sure everything is all right." He said with a wink.
"I'm sure that everything is fine. I hate hospitals, can I go home?" She asked with a grimace.
"Nope." Jeff said shaking his head.
Matt walked out of the room and walked over to the front desk.
"We need a doctor in room 112." Matt said with a smile. "She's awake and complaining about wanting to go home."
"All right." The nurse said looking at the chart and then paging the proper doctor.
Jordan stared at Jeff who was staring at her. "What?" Jordan asked after a little while.
"You gave us all quite a scare." Jeff said softly. "I'm sorry I wasn't there to help you."
"Jeff don't start all right." Jordan said with a sigh.
"What do you mean? The only thing I said was that I was sorry I wasn't there for you." Jeff said confused.
"There is no reason for you to feel guilty about this whole thing. Technically it was my fault for going when I knew I wasn't 100 percent." Jordan said sighing again.
"I'm not going to argue about that because I agree with that one." Jeff said crossing his arms in front of him.
"Look I just hate it when my brother wins." Jordan said softly.
"He's not going to win Jordan. Look at it this way, you have a major chance to get even with him now." Jeff said with a grin. "When you are 100 percent better and so am I we, as a team, will do some serious damage."
"Sounds like a plan to me." Jordan said with a grin as the doctor walked in.
"Well looks who finally decided to open her eyes." The doctor said with a smile as he walked around and started examining Jordan.
"When do I get to leave this joint?" Jordan asked with a serious look on her face.
"Already eager to bust out huh?" The doctor laughed. "Well sorry to give you the bad news but you won't be leaving for quite a while."
"Ah come on. What if I promise to take it easy?" Jordan asked with a pout on her face.
"Nope not going to happen. Now let's see what we can do about that headache you have." The doctor said noticing her wince.
"Fine." Jordan said crossing her arms in front of her and then wincing because of the movement.
Jeff noticed how cute she looked with a pout on her face and tried to snap himself out of it. She was lying in a hospital bed after getting her ass kicked and all he could think about was how cute she was? Jeff got up and left the room, determined to control his raging hormones at the moment. He wasn't sure exactly what was wrong but he had a bad feeling that something bad was going to happen and soon.
