Hotaru glanced up at Jack and took his hands in hers to help her get up to her feet. When she stood up she wobbled a little and leaned on Jack, half for support, and half because she need reassure herself he wasn't going anywhere. All she wanted was to see how she looked, then she'll relax(or relax as much as was possible for her) from there. Eva sent a small glare at Jack for helping Hotaru up, he had to of known what could happen!

Jack DID know what could happen from all this, but at this point he wasn't willing to deny Ruru anything. And he had had a feeling that if he didn't offer to help she would have gotten up and fallen over and over until she had made her way over anyhow. Honestly, he'd rather avoid Hotaru getting any more injured...
He took slow steps forward, half-carrying the redhead. It wasn't difficult, she was so light...

Eva just watched as Jack helped Hotaru to the bathroom to see the mirror. This wasn't gonna end well, she knew it...
When the two made it to the mirror Hotaru was shocked at what she saw. There were dark circles under her eyes, and her neck... were those HICKIES!? She took the top of the hospital gown she was wearing and pulled it up nearly to her chin, why hadn't someone MENTIONED that? Hell, why was Jack even LOOKING at her?!
And her hair, holy shit her hair was that bad?! She shook her head and fell back a little. That color, not that color! "Redredred..." she muttered the words out before she could stop them. "Bad bad red..."

Jack lifted Ruru up as soon as she started chanting and took her away from the mirror. That... that was disturbing... That was VERY disturbing and he didn't want to have Hotaru in that state for any longer than was absolutely dictated by the universe. He carried her back to the bed, worried beyond all reason.

Eva watched worried as Jack carried Hotaru back to the bed. The redhead burried her face in her hands, muttering a little but too soft to know what she was saying. "Hotaru?" she tried when she was sat down on the bed.
Hotaru kept her hands covering her face as she spoke, somehow the words were somewhat understandable. "Eva, get out." she snapped. "Now!" Needless to say the blond was shocked, she kept looking back and forth between Hotaru and Jack.

Jack honestly didn't know what to do and just gave Eva a pleading look. He didn't know what to do. Once again he felt utterly useless and just held Hotaru. He managed to focus on Eva and then glance to the door and back to her, telling her without words that staying would probably just make things harder on the redhead...

After a few moments of hesitating, Eva finally made her way to the door to leave. She really wished she could do something to help Hotaru, but right now that seemed like it was Jack's job.
Hotaru heard the door shut close after Eva left, clinging onto Jack afterward. She wasn't crying, but her breathing was getting heavy and her attempt to talk wasn't helping any. "I-I'm not right," she said. "I'm all wrong Jackie.."

Jack cradled Hotaru close and stroked what remained of her hair. "Everything's going to be alright now, Ruru..." He could neither agree or disagree with Hotaru. She was still HIS Ruru, she was still the woman he loved... but she certainly wasn't feeling like normal...

Hotaru held onto Jack a little tighter. "You... you promise...?" she asked him hesitantly. "I don't wanna lose you again." She wanted to stay with him, and she couldn't do that if she was all wrong. She had to keep sane, for Jack... for Jack...

Jack pressed their foreheads together gently and looked into Hotaru's eyes. "You're not going to lose me, I won't ever let that happen..." He almost wished he had the engagement ring with him now... that might have helped Hotaru's fears if he could propose right now...

Hotaru just started nodding her head, trying to calm herself down before she started hyper-ventilating. She curled up on Jack's lap and laid against him as she closed her eyes. "I love you." she murmured quietly, the events of today starting to catch up to her. She felt herself drifting off to sleep, but she didn't feel as scared this time around. Jack was with her, and he wasn't leaving, that was all that she needed to know right then.

Jack leaned back against the headboard of the bed as Ruru slept. The pianist was pretty tired too, really, and it wasn't long at all before he was dozing off with Ruru in his arms.
