Jacks POV

I hardly slept so I took the time to look around the house.
It didn't last long as I walked into someone who was a hound who pretty much glared me back to bed.

It was light so I got a bag and pretty much filled it with Alex's hoodies and I slowly walked out and went downstairs.
I heard people talking in the kitchen so I sat on the step and listened in to the parts I could understand.
"..He's awake.." The woman from the hospital said.
Then a load of Russian was spoken.
"What about the odd ball upstairs? Frank has taken the most biggest grudge against him." Someone said.
"Frank holds a grudge on everyone." The woman said.
"The longer the odd ball is here the more unbearable Frank will be since Gerard has taken a shine too odd ball." The same person said.
I got up and walked out the front door.

I walked to the hospital and went to Alex's room.
He was sat up and looking at to see who had walked in the door.
"Why are you here? Thought you was in the nut house?" He asked with a smile.
"It's a long story." I said and sat on the bed.
"I have all day and night." He said.
I looked at him and looked down.
"What's wrong? You haven't been this quiet since the first day you came to the nut house." Alex said.
"I did a runner and then I had to spend the night in a house full of Russians who moods are quicker to change than what mine do." I said.
"You're fucking kidding me?" He asked with a smile.
"Nope, I was brought her to see you and then I ran off and then some old Russian woman took me back to the Russian house and then meet so very lovely people." I said sarcastically towards the end.
Alex chuckled.
"You mean Nan?" He asked.
"That's her name? I've been calling her the old Russian lady." I said.
Alex laughed and it wasn't a fake laugh either.
"Everyone calls her Nan as she is like a mother to us all." He said and looked down.
"Hounds?" I asked.
Alex looked at me.
"What about them?" He asked confused.
"What are they? No one told me what they are or what they do." I said.
"We don't speak of what the hounds are or what they do. But just know one thing Jack. If you mess with a hound it will equal death." He said seriously.
"What was you? Since you lived there as well." I said.
"Hound. Until I went mental but once a hound always a hound." He said.
The door opened and I quickly moved off the bed and hid under it.

Alex's POV

"Your awake?" A nurse from the nut house asked.
"Appears so." I said.
"You have to come back to the hospital, tomorrow is when you go back." They said.
"I've only just fucking woke up this morning." I said not sounding very happy about it.
"Well we currently have a patient which I loose and we cannot find him." They said.
"Well that was very clumsy off you. What the fuck do you want me to do about it?" I asked.
"You know where he is. He was last saw here with you." The nurse said.
"How the fuck am I meant to know when I have been out of it for the last 4 days or something." I snapped and looked at them for the first time.
I knew Jack was under the bed and if the nurse looked under the bed he would be fucked.
"Your Russian friends do they know?" He asked.
"You keep them out of this." I growled.

Then the door opened and Nan walked in.
"I suggest you listen to the boy." She growled and came over and pulled me into a hug.
She whispered something in Russian
I looked at her and nodded slightly.
"Alex will go back with you. When he is back there the other one will return." She said and moved her heel and Jack grunted as I think she hit him.
I coughed to cover it up.
Nan looked at me and smirked.
"The boy isn't going anywhere so you can go back the that place and let me deal with him." She said.
The person nodded and walked off.
We waited a couple of minutes and Jack rolled from under the bed.
"That fucking hurt." He growled and glared at Nan.
"Can't go blaming a little old lady now can we?" She said.

Jack was sat next to me and we was just making small talk when Nan sat on the bed and watched us.
"I shell leave you two be. But Jack you should go back before Alex does otherwise they shell be asking questions." Shje said and got up and left.
I looked at Jack confused.
"I was meant to return today but I had to make sure you was okay before I went back." He said.
"Now you know I'm awake what you going to do?" I asked and rolled on my side and put my leg over his and my arm over his waist and looked at him.
"Stay here and making sure you don't leave my sight." He said quietly.
I looked away from him.

"I'm sorry." I said quietly.
"For what?" Jack asked.
"For everything I did. I can't do nothing right." I said.
"Hey, don't say that because we're both feel the same way. You don't have to say sorry to me." He said quietly.
"Just feel like I do nothing but let you down." I said and looked at him.
"But you don't." He whispered and kissed me.
I smiled.
"I'll probably been gone when you wake up tomorrow." He said quietly and started to trace his fingers along my back.
"Why?" I asked slowly falling asleep.
"I need to make sure I'm back at that place before you get back." He said.
"You don't have to go back. You can join us lot, we won't mind." I said.
"Yeah I do." He said quietly.
I moved closer to him and rested my head on his chest and slowly traced circles on his chest.
"If you go back then so do I." I muttered and kissed his chest and fell asleep.
