Jen woke up the next day with her body completely sore. Lucas had been especially wild the previous night. If they had neighbours, they would all probably know what happened the previous day.

Jen tried rolling out of bed but she was pulled back in it with her back closely pressed against Lucas' chest. She noticed that he was completely naked when she felt something press against her behind, and since she could feel it, it meant that she too was completely naked.

"Lucas" Jen called and abruptly closed her mouth. Her voice was very raspy and was almost just a whisper. She narrowed her eyes and turned her head to glare at Lucas unfortunately, her head collided with his nose by accident effectively waking him up.

Lucas was startled awake by the sudden pain on his nose and he even felt his eyes water. It was really to type of pain that took your breath away.

"Ah" Lucas groaned as he released Jen and cradled his nose. He really hated pain, being woken up like this had already determined his mood for the rest of the day.

"What's wrong?" Jen asked when she saw him groaning in pain.

"My nose" Lucas said his voice coming out m.u.f.fled since his hands were covering his lower face.

"What about your nose?" Jen asked her voice still raspy reminding her why she had turned around so abruptly in the first place. However, he looked like he was in a lot of pain so she tried to peek at his nose.

"You hit my nose" Lucas complained as he still covered his nose. His action actually did not provide any form of relief but the fact that he was protecting his nose from further harm provided a psychological consolation to him.

"Let me see" Jen said and tried to pull his hand away from his face but he was too strong so she couldn't pull his hand away by force.

"It really hurts" Lucas complained but did not plan on moving his hands away at all.

"Let's see how bad it is" Jen said as she continued with her attempts to pry his hands away.

"You won't head b.u.t.t me will you?" Lucas asked making Jen feel miffed about the whole situation.

"Are you joking around like last time or did you really get hurt?" Jen asked after sitting up on the bed. Lucas became speechless when he heard her question. Is this how the boy who cried wolf felt? After Jen saw his accusatory gaze she felt slightly remorseful.

"It's not broken right?" Jen asked with her voice laced with concern.

"I don't know" Lucas responded, he did not dare touch his nose.

"Let me see. We might have to go to the emergency room" Jen said and waited for him to remove his hand. When she saw that he was not making any moves to do so she decisively straddled his stomach and tried pulling his hands away.

"You know this is just wasting time right?" Jen said in annoyance only this time it sounded strange with her raspy voice.

"What happened to your voice?" Lucas asked as he looked up at her.

"Now he notices" Jen said sarcastically and looked at him sternly.

"What happened?" he asked again.

"Take off your hands first. I'm starting to get angry" Jen said, revealing her real emotions. Her anger that was on pause had started stewing once more because of his stubbornness.

Lucas hesitated for a bit before carefully removing his hands.

"Don't touch it okay?" Lucas said once he finally revealed his nose. When Jen saw his nose she couldn't stop her eyes from widening.

"I think you should get dressed" Jen said as she quickly leapt off of his body. She was actually really scared that his nose might be broken and that she had ruined his face, and would be forced to marry him or something along those lines.

Lucas watched as her naked figure rushed to the dressing room and came back with a pair of his boxers and sweatpants and a hoodie that he could just zip up rather than a t-s.h.i.+rt that he would have to wear from the top of his head. Lucas was puzzled but he obediently followed her instructions and got dressed.

As Jen was getting dressed herself she was glad that they had showered after their energetic night. She wouldn't have been able with how sweaty she was the previous night. At the same time she couldn't help but have ridiculous thoughts of the whole situation.

After putting on a pair of shorts and a loose t-s.h.i.+rt, she went to brush her teeth in the bathroom where she found Lucas brus.h.i.+ng his teeth as she curiously looked at his reflection.

Jen chose not to say anything and quickly brushed her teeth and went to pick up her things before rus.h.i.+ng out of the house with Lucas in tow.

"Isn't Ethan a doctor?" Jen asked as she got into the driver's seat of the car.

"He is, why?" Lucas asked as he put on his seatbelt.

"Give him a call. Put it on speaker" Jen said and turned on the car. Lucas was dumbfounded, Ethan was a neurosurgeon, what did that have to do with his nose?

"But he isn't-" Lucas started but was promptly cut off by Jen.

"Call him" she ordered and glared at him stopping any protest he had in his throat. Lucas obediently dialled Ethan's number and called him, putting the phone on speaker as ordered by her highness.

"Dude, are you dying? You never call me first" Ethan said when he picked up Lucas' call. He asked him that because people's behaviours change when they are about to die. His statement however did not sit well with Jen.

"Ethan?" Jen called out and heard a pause from the other side.

"This is Lucas' phone right?" he asked. He was confused because Jen's voice sounded different from what he remembered. It was raspy and that threw him off for a second.

"It is, it's Jen, are you in the hospital?" Jen asked.

"Yes, I just arrived at the hospital. What's going on?" Ethan asked sounding serious since her tone sounded urgent.

"We're on our way, Lucas is hurt" Jen said. She was a bit anxious so she came off sounding more urgent than she had intended.

"I'll be at the emergency room, just drive safely" Ethan said before Jen heard his rushed footsteps.

"We'll be there in ten minutes-" Jen said and Lucas cut the call before she could say anything else.

"Why did you hang up?" Jen asked annoyed.

"That guy is probably s.h.i.+tting himself with worry. You could have phrased it better" Lucas admonished but at the same time he was touched by how thoughtful she was being.

"Oh is that so?, By the way, where is the hospital?" Jen asked making Lucas look at her in disbelief. If she did not even know which hospital she was going to, how could she say that she would be there in ten minutes?

"It's in the opposite direction" Lucas said as he pursed his lips trying to stop his laughter from escaping.
