A/N: I only own the OC
Thank you for everyone who has reviewed and continues to review the story.
I woke up and everything hurt. I blinked a few times and was thankful that it was dark wherever I was at the moment. I tried to sit up, but a hand gently touched my arm.
"Stay still, Princess." A voice said and I looked over to see Dexter.
"Is this a dream?" I asked him and he chuckled.
"No, you were hurt, and I wanted to check on you" he said and I gave a small nod.
"Thank you." I said and he placed a small kiss to my forehead.
"Candice told me this morning, and I had to wait until tonight. I wanted to be here as soon as I heard." He said and I winced as some pain shot through me.
"You need to sleep, Princess. It will make you feel better." He said and I nodded.
"Will you be here when I wake up?" I asked him and he shook his head no. I wanted him here... he made me feel safe. I missed him.
"No, but I will check on you again." He said as I felt my body start to get heavy again. I reached for him and he caught my hand.
"I love you , Princess." He said and I felt my eyes get heavy. I tried to say something but I couldn't before sleep came over me.
Michael POV
I got back to the club after checking on Jodi's cat with Johnny. I was worried about her. I wasn't allowed to stay with her overnight or I would have. She hasn't woken up yet. They said that was normal, but it didn't make me worry any less.
I walked back to the club with Johnny and I found a letter taped to the door with my name on it. Johnny let me in, and left since he has also been at the hospital all day. I got up to my apartment and sat on the bed. I opened the letter and my heart sank.
Answer my fucking text or calls. I would hate for your girlfriend to get hurt worse.
I sighed and ran my hands over my face. I knew who it was and I knew that I had totally fucked up. I picked up my phone, hesitated to touch the familiar number in my missed calls, and finally called it. I didn't want Jodi to get hurt worse.
Jodi POV
I woke up and looked over. I was hoping it was Dexter but instead it was Michael. He noticed that I was looking at him, and immediately took my hand.
"Baby?" He asked and I nodded.
"I was so worried about you." He said as he kissed my hand.
"I just want to go home." I finally said and he nodded.
He went to tell them I was awake. The nurse came in to check something, and then two detectives came into the room. They asked Michael to leave and sat down beside the bed.
"Ma'am, I'm Detective Hart, and this is Detective Angle. We are with the St Augustine PD. We need to ask you some questions." He said and I nodded.
I told them everything I knew, how long I had been dating Michael, that Dexter and I did not have that bad of a break up, and answered some random questions about if anyone had threatened me or the club lately. The finally left, and the doctor came in a few minutes later.
He checked me out, told me I had a cracked bone in my forearm, explained about my concussion, and about the gash on my leg. I was just thankful when he said I could go home. Thankfully Becky had brought me clothes, because Michael had called to tell her I was awake, and I had something to wear.
The nurse went over how to deal with everything before I left. Michael and Becky were there. I had antibiotics, muscle relaxers, and pain pills to go home with. I already had two different doctors to go to next week in relation to my injuries.
Michael POV
I put Jodi into Becky's car and she drove her home as I followed. I carried Jodi to the living room. I had brought the bed from her guest room downstairs so she wouldn't have to go up and down stairs right now.
"Thank you." She said as I carefully laid her on it. I kissed her cheek and walked Becky out.
"Call me if you need me. Johnny and Elias are next door. We are all here for her." She said as a car pulled up.
"I was waiting on him." She said and I raised an eyebrow.
"Dexter?" I asked her and she shook her head no before she chuckled. I saw as Dave got out and walked towards us. He had a huge bouquet of flowers and a bag.
"Is she inside?" He asked us and we both nodded. He walked in without another word so I looked at Becky.
"Don't take it personal... they have known each other a long time and realized they were always better off than friends." She said and I chuckled. I got along with Dave just fine, but it was still weird sometimes. I hugged her and walked back inside. Dave had set the flowers up, and she was eating some ice cream.
"I won't stay long." He said and I nodded as I sat on the other side of the bed. They talked, and Dave left a little while later.
"Do you need anything?" I asked her.
"Can you hold me?" She asked me. I stripped down to my boxer briefs, and crawled into bed with her. I carefully held her to me, and kissed her forehead. She fell asleep within moments.
"I love you." I whispered to her before falling asleep myself. I had to take care of things and I was worried about her. I knew that I wouldn't get much sleep right now so I took advantage of this. I just wanted to keep her safe.
