Realistic or Modern 6 Feet Under

"I've only been CEO for a day and was beat up for it too by your brother. That doesn't exactly make people want to cozy up to you real fast." He laughed. Watching with concern as she fiddled with the IV. "Do you want me to go get a nurse for you? It'd be easier and less painful than this..."
 
"No it's fine, those nurses are busy with the other people from the crash, I'll be fine. " she replied leaning back feeling her stitches as she moved. "Wait... Only a day? I got you that job days ago going by how long I've been unconscious. Have you not been working at all while I was in a coma?" She asked a frown of confusion on her bandaged face.
 
"I uh...I called in and said I was going to be gone a few days for personal reasons..." He yawned again. "Since then I've pretty much been in this spot the entire time you've been in a coma...." He admitted sheepishly.
 
"Aww John...." Vanessa cooed with a sweet smile. "If you weren't my friend that would be absolutely terrifying. But you are so its like a kind of puppy dog cute." She said reaching out to him and patting the closest thing on him to her.
 
"What can I say? I care a lot." He chuckled. "Maybe too much though...I've slept in this uncomfortable chair and barely eaten for three days...I should probably take a shower sometime soon too."
 
Vanessa looked at him surprised. "John..." She muttered worriedly. "You really didn't need to put yourself through all that. I mean, my family even went back home. I'm sure if anything happened the hospital would have called you." She said reaching over to him and gently squeezing his hand.
 
"I'm sure they would have too... But worry took over my reasoning.." He chuckled sheepishly. "I'll probably have to call a cab to get home. I'm was too tired and cramped up to drive home."
 
Vanessa nodded. "You should rest up, besides they probably really need you at Armorlenium." She said not really wanting him to leave her here alone, yet knowing he had to go.
 
"I'm sure they'll be fine without me for another day or two...because I'm pretty sure they've gotten wind of that little lie that got me in here in the first place."
 
"Which lie would that be?" Vanessa asked, no longer remembering just how many lies John had told his work place and feeling very tired.
 
"The one your dad nearly shot me for...well. I'm guessing he still wants to whenever he gets the chance." He laughed sheepishly. "But that's beside the point..you sound tired. Why don't you get some rest and I'll be back after some rest of my own, a meal, shower and getting a nice ring. Gotta make it believable right?"
 
"Right..." Vanessa nodded almost falling asleep the woke up again with a small jolt. "Hey. That ring....needs to fit me..." She muttered pointing to the pile of clothes and items that were on her in the crash. She grabbed one of her small hoop earings and put it clumsily on her finger. It fit well enough that it didn't shift when she moved her finger. "Use this..." She yawned handing him the earing. "I don't care about what the ring looks like, but my father will." She warned as sleep over took her pain and she started drifting off.
 
"I'll use all the money in that briefcase for it." He laughed softly. Tucking the earring safely away in his pocket. "Sweet dreams Vanessa. I'll be back beforebya know it." He leaned over and kissed her forehead lightly before hurrying off.
 
A faint smile crossed Vanessa's lips as she felt John kiss her forehead, he was far too sweet to her. She was in that moment glad yet almost sad that she wasn't actually with Johnathan. He was so kind and caring only one other person in her life has been that kind to her and that was her mother. And she didn't want her friend to meet that same fate.


Over these passed days Xavier had stress drank three bottles of rum, two bottles of scotch and was working on a bottle of vodka when the hospital called him and told him his daughter had woken up. He yelled happily in his hammered state and his men watched him disappointed that he got so rallied up over the little succubus. Xavier black out drunk managed to take his keys and throw them at his son @ClassyBunny with the instructions of 'G~Go get....my lil'little baby~baby not dead...ba~by girl..." The passed out muttering stuff about being happy his baby wasn't dead.
 
The ring was definitely going to have to wait a while. As soon as John had some food in his belly and a hot shower he practically passed out on the floor. Worry and exhaustion had finally caught up to him completely.
 
"That's an awfully pretty girlie ya got there Johnny boy." An eerie voice spoke up from the corner of the room. "It's unfortunate her father is, well, I'm sure you've met him by now right loverboy?" Johnathan's heart nearly lept out of his chest, but remained laying there. Feining sleep. Which only made the stranger laugh. "Go ahead and play dead all you want. I'm just here to deliver a message." He cleared his throat and pulled out a letter. "Saw the news of your promotion Johnny and I'm real proud a ya boy. Hope you don't mind me withdrawing a 'few little payments' as compensation. Y'know. For running to that old bast*** for help like a coward."

Vanessa was finally being let out of the hospital and she couldn't have been happier. Though she was still covered in stitches and casts she was at least free of most of them, and was being wheeled out by the nurse to where her family waited. When she came out she knew her father was looking at the sparkling ring on her finger and not her. He was impressed, just not happy about it. "Someone help me up." She asked not able to push herself out with one arm in a sling the other ruised to all hell. Her right leg had healed better than she thought it would but her left was still in a walking cast. "Hey-." She yelped as her father actually tried picking her up, but the nurse stopped him.
 
Johnathan had worked as quickly as he could today so he could leave early to see Vanessa. After the cash his dad pulled from the company and was most likely still taking, he had to work almost nonstop just to cover it up.


"Hey! I'm finally here." He rushed over to them with a smile. "How are you feeling today sweetheart?" In a stroke of boldness he leaned over to give her a light peck on the cheek.
