THE LOW, A JACK HARLOW FIC.

CHAPTER TWELVE.

BEGIN.

Jack wasn't paying attention to one thing the nurse was saying but Solána was listening like her life had depended on it. Which it mostly did. She was told to sign information forms before they were seen.

Jack glanced at her as she read the portions out loud, "sex: Female... age: I'm not saying that out loud." She said before filling out the rest of the rest in her head. Jacks face was probably bright pink but he didn't mind. She noticed him staring then she noticed him blushing.

"Any reason why you look like a tomato?" SZA questioned as he let out a nervous laugh and cleared his throat. He had no idea what he looked like staring at her while she was probably in pain. But a part of him didn't care.

"My bad." Jack apologized and made a mental note to stop looking at her.

After five minutes the form was filled out and ushered to the nurse by Jack. She sat at the desk chewing on the pen distractedly before finally looking up with boredom. As she took Jack in her eyes budged almost out of her head.

"Oh my god! Are you?—" she practically screamed catching looks from her coworkers and the patients. She stopped abruptly when Jack put a finger to his lips. She nodded and obeyed but she couldn't keep the smile off her face.

"I was thinking that's gotta be Jack.. and then I was like nah he look more like one of those middle aged men that be obsessed with rebranded juicy couture clothes." She rambled off laughing at herself as Jack held the clipboard in his hand, "like you know how they be putting juicy on the butt. But they be making it for men and it be oversized and manly." She laughed a screeching laugh before stopping and sizing him up.

"Yeah I know those." Jack responded but he wasn't even wearing a tracksuit. He'd worn one once and it definitely wasn't Juicy couture. She basically called him a 2000's mom in a man body.

"Ok good I thought I was bugging out." She mumbled off typing in her computer as Jack agreed that she was in his head. "Can we get a picture though?! Oh my god I'm gonna show this to my cousin and my best friend and my grandma! Granny always says how hot you are." Jack grew uncomfortable as he silently nodded.

"She be sayin crazy stuff, like she would show you a good time and give you some hard candy afterwards..." Jacks face must've been as grossed out as he felt because she stopped talking, finally. She snapped a picture and SZA walked over.

"What's taking so long.." before she could finish her sentence the girl actually screamed. "Yo, I actually have to call my niece!" She said excitedly. Then she started dialing, in front of them.

"Cece! Guess who's here!?" She went back and forth with 'Cece' before finally giving up who it was and screaming into the phone, "yesss, good day in my mind need to get that d— now!" She started butchering the lyrics and whining her body in her seat.

"Those aren't the lyrics.." Jack mentioned as she snapped and then ignored him.

"Solána?!" The doctor called from the hallway, dressed in a long white coat as the two felt relived. He was short with a chubby face and looked like he belonged in a middle school. Jack turned back to see the deranged woman as she mouthed "call me" and he visibly shuddered. "I'm Dr.Ken"

They ended up in a white room with some posters and boxes of gloves sorted around. She took a seat on the bed and looked at Jack. She was still nervous about kissing him but she didn't know what to say about it. She didn't even know what the reason for it was. Because you like him. She mentally slapped herself and tried to think about anything else.

"So you kissed me." Dammit. She looked at Jack who was staring right at her with less than a grin. She shrugged. Jack gapped at her. Did she just give him a whatever level shrug and dismiss him?

"Wow that's crazy. I mean at this point you're using me right? For hookups." Jack sounded honest. A little alarmed, more than disappointed but nothing that he was saying was a pressuring accusation. Or a joke. He really truly wanted to know if he was imagining things between them.

The doctor came back in. "Yo whasup your ankle is very sprained. It's like totally fine but it's not. But you'll be ok.. it's like a normal bruise. Obviously you know this isn't the 1700's so we're gonna do an X-ray." The doctor laughed at his own joke and then cleared his throat. Jack and SZA stared at each other confused.

SZA lifted herself off the bed and stood as normally as possible. The doctor started to leave the room but turned back in confusion as Jack stayed seated, "your boyfriend not coming?" He asked with sass and in a way he sounded like her high school best friend.

"Actually he's not—"

"Yeah I'm coming." Solána gave him side-eye and they made it to the X-Ray room.

—

"So you're going to have to stay still for a week." Solána stated at the doctor for a minute and then Jack.

"Repeat that for me..."

"He repeated it five times already. You heard him." Jack said sternly. She literally got the doctor to repeat the same line over and over just to avoid the inevitable truth. She was stubborn. So stubborn.

Dr.Ken flipped through the papers on his clipboard, "wait I'm in the right room? Sprained ankle? Are you deaf also?" He seemed serious as he looked over the paperwork she shook her head.

"But I can drive right?" She asked as the doctor shook his head. How was she going to get to her home? The doctor reached for the counter for support. He knew he was going to be in this particular room for a while.

"Uh-uh I mean you can call yourself and Uber or a Lyft.. even though that's pretty pricey. Girl I don't know your boyfriend should be doing all the driving for you. You should stay in bed and you should rest up." He advised as she stared blankly at him. How dare he assume they had that kind of relationship? What if he didn't drive, what if he didn't want her over? And of course that wasn't and wouldn't ever be the case.

"Look. There's no reason why he should be taking care of me." Jack rubbed his face. She was arguing with the doctors orders, while in pain. Give me a break.

"You got someone else to look after you right now? Cuz ion see anybody" She shut up and shook her head. It was her ex. He would've been the one. "Then it's settled! You're with doctor boyfriend and he's taking care of you!" He shouted with enthusiasm before leaving the room.

"I'm not just using you for hookups." She wanted to tell him that it was more than that. She could tell she might not need to by the way his ears peaked up though. He licked his lips and smiled. "Really?" He smiled again and so did she.

"Yeah you have a really expensive blender and I was wondering if I could-" he sucked his teeth and rolled his eyes. The one time she wasn't stubborn she was sarcastic, great. "I'm playing." She laughed out loud.

He grumbled, "you better be" before standing up and placing a kiss onto her lips. She smiled against it as he pushed her hair back and kissed her again. This time Solána took control, kissing him quick and tenderly. Something that he liked—

There was a knock on the door again, "damn I left me a minute and y'all are already making out, we just had a child in this room." The doctor interrupted with a laugh as the two watching him silently. "Also a couple more things for the healing process... ice on the foot, no moving it keep it elevated. That includes no walking no running and no sex." The last one left the two of  them staring so hard at one another it was a mental staring contest.

"Not even a problem." Solána said as the doctor gave them a double thumbs up.

"Great .. Great... I was wondering if you guys would get me an autograph tho." The two nodded in sync, "it's for my sister... Ken—dra. Kendra." He said lying and handing them a medical form about a kid who broke his arm. He snatched it back and laughed. "Whoops!" He handed them another sheet and they prayed that they would leave soon.

an: I know what you're thinking, this chapter was super weird like there's extra weird characters and all that but idk it's kinda the way I used to write which is just throwing stuff together 💀
Either way I see the nurse as Tiffany Hadish and the doctor as Ken Jeong.
