Jake never knew what hit him, as he came to, he tried to pull himself up off the pavement! He was dizzy as hell and learned damn quick he was way too busted up to move. Just then he heard a woman's voice: Hey mister! You ok? Don't move! I called 911! Help is on the way! Your hurt, so stay still! Jake was really foggy on the details; all he could tell for sure was he couldn't see too good; his leg was broken and he was pretty sure he was busted up inside by the way his ribs and insides felt! The young woman kneeled down and cradled his head. Then he felt a gentle caress across his cheek. Her soft cool hand felt wonderful! You're going to be ok, just hang in there! lay still! You have to be ok! Oh God... please be ok! He could hear her starting to cry as everything started to fade... then everything just went black!
Beep... Beep...Beep... Beep...What the hell? That sound in his head made no sense... Man, last night must have been one hell of a party, if the pounding in his head was any indication. At least that was what he was thinking as he was coming around. Jake opened his one good eye, realizing there was a bandage over the other. The florescent light in the celling was off, but the bed side lamp was on and its beam was still a bit harsh for him to adjust too in the darkened room. As he tried to focus, he finally got his bearings, realizing he was in the hospital! Right next to his bed was a beautiful woman sleeping in a chair. She'd been holding his hand when he first woke up.
Jake didn't know her, but he was sure going to change that score the second he was able! "well big boy" if you're feeling well enough to have that on the brain, you can't be in too bad a shape, he thought, chuckling to himself. The woman stirred a bit, but didn't wake. Man was she lovely, long auburn hair, great figure. Her tanned supple legs were long and toned. Displayed in all their glory, due to the fact she was wearing a pair of cute little neon orange short shorts with lacey trim. Just then, a nurse stepped in the room and Jake held up a finger to his lips and winked at the nurse, hoping not to wake the sleeping beauty next to him.
The nurse smiled and whispered.
"Glad to see your awake Mr. Jake, we've been worried about you".
How are you feeling?
Well, you tell me, I'm a bit foggy on the details. All we know Mr. Jake; is you were hit by a truck.
What?
That's the report we had on you when they brought in four days ago. I've been out of it four days? Yes, and you are very lucky they brought you in when they did Mr. Jake, or we would have certainly lost you! Oh, and by the way, that dear girl sleeping over there in that chair, she never would have gotten the chance to thank you for what you did!
Ok now I'm really confused! Well Mr. Jake, "Its Jake Thorn mam", Short for Jakob. Oh, I'm pleased to meet you Jakob. Now get some rest, the doctor will be in to see you in the morning when he makes his rounds, he will update you on your condition. But relax, I hear your going to be just fine! That sweet girl over there will fill you in on what happened when she wakes up. The nurse smiled and turned to leave. Oh, by the way Jakob, what you did for her was quite special. It's no wonder she hasn't left your side since they brought you in. Remember that about her when she wakes up, she said with a smile, as she left...
Jake realized he must have dozed back off for a while, waking up to the soft touch of a cool hand rubbing his cheek. He opened his eye to a big beautiful smile on the prettiest face he'd ever seen! Hi there, he said. The nurse told me you woke up for a little while earlier. Why didn't you wake me up? She pouted with such a cute expression. She instantly had Jake wrapped around her little finger for life! Oh, sweetie, I saw this angel sleeping and didn't have the heart to wake her, he said honestly and smiled. She bent over and gave him a quick peck on the lips. I'm so glad you're going to be ok!
I thought those assholes at the bar had killed you! Her anger was telling in her expression as she spoke. You're going to have to help me out sweetie, I'm a bit foggy on the details. Well it's no wonder, the bastards ran you over with a truck as they got away! Fucking cowards!! Wow! They must have really pissed you off Jake laughed! There was four of them, they grabbed me coming out of the bar and had it on their minds to drag me off and rape me. Then God knows what they would have done to me after that! You walked out just in time to hear me scream and saved my ass!
You beat the shit out of three of them and the fourth one ran off and got in his truck... the others jumped in the bed as he peeled out to get away from you. They were driving off as some others from the bar heard the fight and came out to help. But they saw their chance as you were trying to get to me, I was still on the ground where they jumped me. One of them smacked me in the back of the head when I screamed and knocked me out for just a second. Your back was to them as you ran to help me. I heard one of them in the back of the truck yell at the driver to run us down! The fucking cowards! You reached me as they bore down on us. Picking me up like a ragdoll and throwing me clear just before they could run us down. You weren't so lucky!
You saved me twice! Once from getting raped and probably murdered! Then you sacrificed yourself by getting me clear of that speeding truck before it hit us both! Thank you, Jake, for saving me! You paid a horrible price! I'm so sorry Jake, this is all my fault! The sweet woman's eyes began to tear up as Jake reached out to comfort her. Hey it's not your fault! I'm damn glad I was there baby girl! Don't you worry! I'm fine!
I talked to the doc while you were sleeping Jake... I told him I'd tell you the truth of it. Jake sucked in a bit, then realized he'd best get ready for what she was about to say. Ok let's hear it. With tears in her eyes she took a deep breath... Jake figured shit; it must be bad the way she was acting! But hell, he didn't feel all that bad, he still felt like giving her a run for her money, he laughed. This isn't funny Jake! What are you laughing about?! I'm sorry sweetie! You act like I'm dying! I'm going to be ok! No tears, please! This isn't your fault, it's those four dick heads in the trucks fault, not yours!
She snubbed a few more times, then she mustered up the courage to speak. Your leg Jake, its broken in several places, they had to operate. You have several pins and a steel rod holding it all together. It's going to take weeks to heal, then months of rehab, before you're able to walk again. Then there were internal injuries, they had to do emergency surgery on you for that too! You lost your spleen. Aw hell sweetie, all that will heal fine, no need to fuss. The worst is your eye Jake, her tears were flowing like a river as she was barely able to finish. It's gone Jake! It was severely damaged, they had to remove it!
After telling him that, she began to sob uncontrollably and fell on him burying her face in his chest. Aw sweetheart don't cry! I'll be fine! In truth, he wasn't really all that upset, he was just glad he had been there. Please don't cry, I'd do it all over again to save you from those animals, no regrets! None!! I mean it!! She raised up, tears flowing from her sweet eyes as she kissed him deeply over and over to the point, he was starting to get aroused. Hey you, it's going to be fine! I'm going to be ok, he said as he raised her up to look in her eyes...
You better stop kissing me like that, or I'm going to get excited here girl! If that happens, you really will have your hands full and I mean it! You're an incredibly beautiful woman you know! She smiled and kissed him again. Then bent over to his ear and whispered
"you just wait till I get you home Jake! I'll show you how wound up I can get!"
biting his ear before she stood up! Making him laugh so hard it hurt his ribs making him wince. HA! That will teach you to laugh at me! Smart ass! She giggled! Oh, I see how you are missy! He said smiling. Glad to see her feelings of guilt in this matter had been resolved to his satisfaction.
