When Jake got to the clinic, he could already see his friends sitting and chatting quite excitedly and nurse Hayley was checking up on Peter again meanwhile Peter''s cheek had a tinge of red on it because of nurse Haley''s touch. Kate and Sophia couldn''t help but face palm themselves because of the way Peter was behaving.

    The opening of the door, was what distracted them a bit when they could see Jake, Jack and Vynn coming in. The three of them had met each other on the way so they decided to come over to the clinic together. Seeing the door open, Nurse Hayley decided to leave the friends together so they could have privacy.

    The went to take a sit beside their friends beds. "So how are you guys feeling now?" Jack asked.

    "I''m feeling much better now. After getting personally checked up on." Peter replied with a smile on his face to which Sophia and Kate just shaked their heads again in disappointment the way Peter was behaving.

    They kept talking to each other some more that was when Cindy came into the room . "Hey guys!"

    "Oh hey Cindy, how are you doing?" Peter asked with a smile.

    "I''m doing well thanks." Cindy replied with an equal smile then she turned towards Jake with a more radiant smile on her face which didn''t go unnoticed by Kate. "How are you doing Jake?"

    "I''m fine thanks." Jake replied also flashing a smile at her.

    This caused Kate to frown deeply and mumbled some incoherent words under her breath which didn''t go unnoticed by Sophia. ''Oh I see.''

    They talked among each other some more. "So when are you guys gonna be discharged?" Cindy asked.

    "As a matter of fact," nurse Hayley came in. "Your friends have all healed up quite nicely and they will be discharged this evening."

    "Are you sure we are all healed up nicely? Coz I don''t mind spending another day here." Peter said which earned him strange looks from his friends. "I mean, what if we aren''t healed up properly and it causes a problem later."

    "Oh please." Sophia rolled her eyes.

    "I''m just saying." Peter said.

    Jack just laid his hand on Peter''s shoulder. "Please stop talking bro."

    "Don''t worry, you guys are all good to go." Nurse Hayley said with a radiant smile on her face. "Alright then, let me go and prepare for your discharge."

    Nurse Hayley left and then Sophia turned to Jake. "So how did you guys know where to find us the other day?"

    "Confess what?" Jake asked with his heart racing fast and hard. ''What did they figure out? Why are they asking me to confess?''

    "We all saw you go head to head with the werewolf, saw him punch you and send you crashing into a building and somehow, you came back stronger and better. How did you do that? How did you survive that hit?" Peter asked.

    Jake was now rubbing the back of his head nervously. "Do be honest, I don''t really know what happened. When I was punched into that building, I was unconscious for some a minute before I heard a voice in my head calling me to wake up."

    "I woke up, came outside and saw the werewolf eating Ben and going for Kate next. I didn''t know what to do, I was panicking and that was when the desire to save Kate and protect my new family arose and a surge in strength rose in me, allowing me to go head to head with the werewolf."

    They all looked at Jake again with a raised brow. "I see, it happens. That is what we call love." Peter said.

    "What!?!" Kate and Jake screamed out at once. "It isn''t love, I''m not in love with her, it''s just a feeling of wanting to protect a loved one." Jake clarified.

    "You don''t have to worry, you don''t need to confess now, we know what or who is in your heart." Jack said with cheeky smile on his face.

    "Jack you too?" Kate said this caused a laughter in the room.

    "Oh my goodness, look at her face. Its so red like a tomato. She''s blushing." Peter said this caused Kate to pick up a pillow and threw it at Peter with a lot of strength that landed on his stomach.

    "Ouch!" Peter screamed while clutching his stomach. "My injuries aren''t healed up properly you know. Or you know what, you can just hit me again and reopen the wounds so that at least, I can be with my love. Nurse Hayley." Explore more stories with empire

    This made everyone laugh out loud. "You do know she''s older than you right?" Sophia asked.

    "Who cares anyway, age is just a number." Peter replied and then they laughed and chatted a little bit more before they decided to call it a day with Cindy leaving the room to head back to her own dorm.
