Three hours later, I had crutches, Percocet, and a brace for my sprained knee. Sweetly, Nate and Xander had stuck out the whole ordeal in the waiting room while Jack tried not to laugh when I told the doctor that my knee just collapsed after he’d kissed me.

“I hate you,” I grumbled as he pushed the wheelchair to the doors. “Actual, real hatred.”

“That’s against the rules,” he said.

“Says who?”

“I’m making a rule. No hatred.”

“Okay, flower child.”

Xander dropped me and Jack off at my apartment. He took my tote bag over his shoulder, giving me a look like he dared me to make fun of him, and helped me to the door.

“You need to take the elevator,” he said.

“There is no elevator,” I said, testing out my crutches on the staircase.

Jack looked at me skeptically. “You are going to die on these stairs.”

“Don’t be such an alarmist.” I stumbled and he steadied me.

“No, no, no. I’m not taking you back to the hospital tonight.” He picked me up abruptly, like I was an infant and began walking up the stairs.

I lolled in his arms. I’d normally put up a fight, but I was sleepy and who the fuck wanted to walk up stairs when they were on painkillers and someone would carry them.

“I don’t want to hear a goddamned word about how much I weigh.”

“No more than eleven pounds,” he said.

“Good answer,” I replied dryly. We reached the stop of the stairs and he set me down.

“What? No door-to-door service?” I asked, putting down my crutches in the hallway and beginning the awkward jaunt to my apartment door.

“Fuck no,” he muttered breathlessly. He took my keys and opened the door. David and Ben sat on the couch, smiling at each other, and both of them freaked out when they saw Jack.

“Seriously, Hadley?” David said, annoyed. I had forgotten. I had completely forgotten that he planned on having Ben over.

“Shit,” I muttered.

“Oh my God,” David said in an entirely different tone when he realized I was on crutches. “What happened to your leg? Did your parachute not open or something?”

“I would be dead if my parachute didn’t open,” I said.

“She tripped,” Jack said awkwardly.

Jack looked at Ben, then at David, then back to Ben. “David, right? I don’t think we’ve officially met.” He stepped towards him and shook his hand. He nodded at Ben. “What’s up, Mitchell?”

So they knew each other. Great. I snuck a look at David. He was going to kill me.

"Hey, Jack," Ben said, standing up. "How's it going? We were doing a chemistry project. You guys went skydiving? That's awesome. I'd love to try that some time. You know, when I don't have to meet with my assigned partner for a mandatory project." He grinned nervously. At least he had the dignity to flush as he tried to disown David, tried to act like the only reason he'd ever spend time with him was because he'd been assigned.

Jack's eyes flashed with what I was starting to recognize as his trademark look of silent fury.
