Knives & Pens

Jake knocked on the closed hospital door softly, he gripped the door knob and slowly turned it, opening the door enough to peek inside Pandora’s room. There she was, laying on the hospital bed with bruises, cuts and scratches. Pandora looked at the door, and a soft smile appeared on her lips, even with her hurt you couldn’t help but to smile back at her. Jake opened the door wider, and revealed Jinxx and Ashley behind him, her smile grew larger and the three of the guys stepped inside the room. Jinxx closed the door, and watched Ashley approached her left side and lean down and softly kiss her forehead.
“How are you feeling?” Jinxx asked her, Pandora looked at him, he stood at the end of the bed holding onto the rails and looking at her with a caring smile.
“Not so good, but I’m fine.”
Jake smiled at her and sat down in a chair that was against the wall. “We’ve been waiting forever to hear some information on you.”
Pandora looked at him a little confuse. “What do you mean?”
Jinxx coughed, clearing his throat and begin to speak. “It only took a few hours to get some information on Andy, and it took a day to hear any information on you, but we probably wouldn’t have heard anything then if Ashley didn’t hear a doctor mentioning your name and cornered him to tell us what he knows.”
Pandora looked up at Ashley and smiled a bit. “You really did that?”
“Yes I did.” Ashley replied, Pandora looked down at her leg that was covered in bruises, then she looked at Jinxx.
“Is Andy okay?”
“He seems fine, he’s more worried about you than himself. He’s talking to Juliet right now.” Jinxx told her, Pandora’s eyes widen.
“Juliet is here?”
“Yep she sure is, she was talking to Andy when we went to see him and tell him what we were told about you.” Jake said, Pandora bit her bottom lip, slowly remembering the night of the accident.
“She was texting him the other night..” Pandora said slowly, staring at the floor.
“The night of the accident?” Ashley asked, looking at her. She was silent for a few minutes, then she jumped lightly and looked at Ashley.
“Uh.. Yeah?” She said, sounding as if she wasn’t completely sure and a little confused. “Where’s CC?” She asked suddenly.
“He’s home and getting some sleep with Brittan.” Jake replied, Pandora looked at him.
“Where’s Ella?”
“Sleeping.” Jake replied with a chuckle and a soft smile, Pandora looked at Jinxx.
“And where’s Sammi?”
“She was in the shower when I left.” Jinxx replied, Pandora nodded.
“I want to see Andy..”
“I doubt they will let you out of the bed because their not letting Andy get up yet.” Jinxx told her, Pandora leaned her head against the pillows.
“Damn..”
“I think Andy is on the edge of just getting out of the bed and finding your room though.” Jake said, with a soft laugh, Pandora looked at him.
“He’s really that worried about me?”
“Yes he is, he yelled at his nurse for minutes trying to get information about you when we first saw him.” Ashley told her, Pandora bit her bottom lip and looked at the floor, she couldn’t believe he was really that worried about her.
“We’re going to let you get your rest okay?” Jinxx said, looking at the guys as they stood up. Pandora nodded.
“Okay, thanks for coming by and seeing me.”
“Girl, you better get used to it because we’re going to be here every day.” Ashley told her, then kissed her forehead again. Jake chuckled and softly hugged Pandora, Jinxx grinned and hugged her after Jake did, then the three left her to get some rest…




Andy stared at Juliet, he has not said a word since she told him she thinks she might be pregnant. Juliet looked at him, waiting patiently for him to say something, but instead he just looked away.
“What do you mean you think?” Andy asked, Juliet swallowed.
“I’m late..”
“And how do I know it’s mine?” Andy asked, looking at her, his expression serious.
“If I am pregnant it will be yours Andy, really.” Juliet told him, Andy wasn’t one hundred percent convinced.
“So your not even sure if you are pregnant, you just want to give me a mini heart attack don’t you?” Andy said, Juliet stood up.
“No, I just want you to know what I think! I’m going to take a test and we’ll know for sure.” Juliet told him, Andy sighed, still not believing this. After two years of being together, nothing happened, and as soon as this happens, when he’s falling for another girl and trying his hardest not to, and dumping Juliet, and getting in an accident, a possible pregnancy happens.
“Does anybody else knows that your thinking you’re pregnant?”
Juliet shook her head side to side. “No I wanted you to know first.”
Andy sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, Juliet looked down.
“I’m going to go, and I’ll come see you when I know for sure.” Juliet told him, Andy nodded and he watched her leave. He groaned, and leaned his head back against his pillow. This has to be a joke, this can’t be happening, he wasn’t ready for a child. Not when things are like this, but at the same time Andy was happy to think there was going to be a child. He still cared about Juliet, and still loved her, and was almost happy they would be having a child together if she is pregnant. He started to think about having a daughter or son, being a father, and all of that, the responsibility. There was a knock on the door, then the door opened and his parents came into the room with a smile. Andy smiled, he decided quickly that he wasn’t going to tell them yet, not until they know for sure.
“How are you feeling?” Amy asked Andy, sitting down in the recliner.
“A little better, still sore though.”
Chris chuckled. “You will be sore for a while, so we saw the mustang.”
“Oh god do I even want to know?” Andy said, looking at his Dad.
“There’s no hope for it, the driver side door is bent all to pieces, the windows are shattered, and it was towed.” Chris said, Andy sighed, now knowing he’ll have to buy another car.
“Damn, I liked that mustang too.” Andy said, Amy chuckled.
“Do you even remember where you ended up at?” Chris asked him, Andy shook his head side to side.
“No, all I remember was hitting the guardrail and passing out. Then I woke up and heard voices, saying they were coming down to get me. That’s all I remember.” Andy told them, Chris bit his bottom lip.
“You went off the road, into a ditch and was upside down. We also found out Pandora was ejected from the mustang.” Chris said, Andy looked at him.
“How far was she?”
“Not far, but since she was ejected, she’s in pretty bad shape.” Chris said, Andy bit his bottom lip and looked down.
“How bad?”
“Doctor’s say she’s suffering from memory loss.” Chris said, the room was quiet for the longest time it seemed.
“Will she get better?”
Amy placed a hand on Andy’s arm. “In time, but it may be a while.”
Andy shook his head side to side and ran his fingers through his hair. “I need to see her, I don’t care if I’m not supposed to get out of this damn bed, I need to see her, right now!” Andy hissed, he pressed the emergency button before anyone could stop him, and it wasn’t long until his nurse came in.
“Yes?”
“I need to see Pandora Chambers, right now, I’m serious.” Andy said, the nurse approached him.
“Now Andy, I can’t let you do that.”
“You don’t understand do you? Just let me see her for just a freaking second, just one tiny, small second! She’s my responsibility now and I have to see if she’s okay.” Andy hissed, the nurse looked at Andy for the longest time.
“Okay, just give me one second.” She said, then she left the room. Andy waited and the nurse returned with a wheelchair, Andy groaned, he never did like wheelchairs and he didn’t look so cool in one, but if he has to be in one to go see Pandora, he’ll deal with it. The nurse and his parents helped him into the wheelchair, then they left the room, finally going to go see Pandora.
They finally reached Pandora’s room, and she was all smiles to see Andy. He sat beside her, talking to her and making her smile and giggle. Seeing the bruises, cuts and scratches on her body made him sad a bit, but he kept smiling to keep her smiling. She didn’t remember the accident, she didn’t really understand why she was even in the hospital, and Andy had to tell her what had happened. She claimed she didn’t remember that, but Andy knew it was just the sign of her memory loss. His parents and the nurse stepped outside in the hallway to give them a little bit of space, Andy was now sitting in a chair beside her bed, as she played with his hand.
“Hey Andy.” Pandora said, Andy looked at her.
“What?”
“Who were those people in here?” Pandora asked, Andy assumed she was talking about his parents.
“That was my parents, Amy and Chris.” Andy replied, Pandora nodded, still playing with his hand.
“Oh, they seem nice.”
Andy grinned a little bit. “They are, their pretty cool I guess.”
She looked at him and smiled, he smiled back and made her blush until she looked away.
“Sing to me.” She told him, Andy looked at her.
“What do you want me to sing?”
“Uh, I don’t know surprise me.” Pandora told him, Andy smiled and thought of a song for a few minutes.
“Okay I thought of one, you ready?”
“Ready Freddy.” Pandora said, Andy chuckled, he never heard her say that before but it was honestly cute.
“Now you’re adrift in a sea of lies, a foolish villain in an endless chapter, the demons writhing behind your eyes, a simple shadow we can fight together, I’ll never walk away! Tear! Down! The walls that will surround, Cry! Out! Above the burning sound, Show! Me! How bleeding heart still pounds, if we stand together, we will be unbroken. We carry forward into the night, the strength of innocence like children’s laughter, an army standing for what is right, we’ll fall like angels if we lose what matters, I will not walk away! Tear! Down! The walls that will surround, Cry! Out! Above the burning sound, Show! Me! How bleeding heart still pounds, if we stand together we will be unbroken! We will not walk away, Tear! Down! The wall that will surround, Cry! Out! Above the burning sound, Show! Me! How bleeding heart still pounds, if we stand together we will be unbroken, Tear! Down! The wall that will surround, Cry! Out! Above the burning sound, Show! Me! How bleeding hearts still pound, if we stand together we will be unbroken!” Andy sang, Pandora smiled at him and let go of his hand.
“That was good.” She told him, Andy smiled.
“Well thank you, I’ve been told I’m talented.” Andy said, winking at her. She giggled, and that’s when the door opened and Chris walked in.
“Uh Andy, someone is here to see Pandora.” Chris said, he stepped aside and there stood a woman Andy has never seen before.
“Pandora, oh my gosh look at you!” The woman said, rushing over to Pandora. Pandora looked at the woman in confusion, not understanding who she was, or why she was here. Pandora looked at Andy, a little bit of fright on her face.
“Andy, who this is?” Pandora asked him almost in a whisper, Andy shrugged his shoulders and looked at the woman.
“Um, excuse me, who are you?”
“I’m Caroline, Pandora’s aunt.” Caroline told Andy, looking at him angrily.
“What are you doing here?” Andy asked Caroline, she looked at him like that was the stupidest question she has ever heard anybody ask in her entire life.
“I’m taking her home with me, my sister told me ever since she moved in with you, she’s been getting hurt. I’m taking her home, where she will be safe, and where you can’t hurt her.” Caroline said, Andy gave her an angry look.
“Oh hell no, over my dead fucking body!”
Chris knew this wouldn’t be good…
