Lin❤

Remember no cops. Love you. Your Jack❤

I can't believe this. It must be another nightmare. I pinch my hand, trying to wake myself up. Nothing changes when I look back down at my phone screen. The only difference I made is that my hand is now bleeding. I look at the screen again, but this time the only difference is that the screen is wet from my tears. I pace around the room, my thoughts racing. Where could Lin be? I have to go look for him. I open the door and quickly run down the stairs. I don't have the patience to wait for the elevator right now.

I run around the streets towards the park. Making sure to look in every alley, every corner he could be. A random woman asks me if I'm okay. I ignore her and run a bit faster towards the park. I can see the playground the sky over it beautiful shades of red, orange and yellow. 'Shit the sun is going down' I think, trying to run faster. My legs strongly disagree, almost giving out under me. I don't care the faster I get to Lin, the faster I can get him to safety. When I get to the playground I slow down. Making sure to look in the slide and stuff. Just in case. "LIN" I call out. No answer. After I looked all around the playground, the sky has completely turned dark blue. The only light now the moonlight and the city lights. I start running again, taking the shorter route home.

As I look around again, my legs finally give out, tired from all the running. I fall on the dirty sidewalk. I give a small whimper, but quickly get up again. Even though tears are blurring my vision, I let my eyes run through the street again. I see a lot of buildings, some drunk tourists and a homele-. Hang on, there is someone laying over there, concealed in the corner of the street. I walk over, trying to accelerate my pace, resulting in me limp running towards the body. The person is laying with his back towards me, but I can see his black ponytail. I know it's my Lin. I kneel by his side. "Lin" I whisper. His eyes are closed, but he doesn't look peaceful at all. There is a cut on his lip and blood around his mouth and on the floor next to another small puddle of blood coming from the upper side of his head. I quickly get out my phone and call 911. I try not to move him, but still check his pulse. Thank god he still has one. I hear a woman talking to me, trough the phone, but I can barely hear it. "My boyfriend he- he-, my ex beat him up, he is on the corner of 181 and 182 street. No police please. Pleasee hurry, he is unconscious". I hear the woman talking again, but as soon as I hear the words, they fade out of my brain again. The only thing I can focus on is Lin. The bruise the is forming on his jaw, god he must have been so scared. "Lin please wake up" I whisper, while gently taking his face in my hands, making sure to once again not move him. It feels like my head is somewhere else. Like I'm watching from out of my body. I see my tears fall on Lin's face, mixing with his blood. I watch myself move my hands from his face to his hands, holding them tight. I close my eyes, praying to god, to let Lin be all right. I never used to pray before. Still feeling weirdly unattached from my body, I see the ambulance arrive. I see the paramedics gently pushing me aside and placing Lin on a trolley thing. I get in the ambulance, sitting to the side, silently crying. Taking out my phone I text the hamilsquad again.

Come to the hospital, please Lin's hurt. We're at the emergency room.

I call Lin's parents and then turn off my phone. I ignore the sounds my phone makes, indicating that people are texting back instead I sit in the emergency room, silently crying. I finally awake from my "outer body" experience when I feel 2 arms around me. "What's going on?" I hear Pippa ask me in a maternal tone. I try to answer but end up blubbering and crying way more loud than before. 'God I am such a cry-baby'. I think to myself before taking a deep, very shaky, breath and trying again. "My ex Jack, he beat him up". "Is he okay?" Pippa asks, soothingly rubbing my back. "I don't know, the doctors are doing surgery on him. His skull is fractured, and they are pretty sure that in the best case he probably has very heavy concussion." I say, crying loudly again. "And- and- and-" I take another deep breath, looking into Pippa's compassionate brown eyes. "He took Sebbie, but we can't call the police, he said he will kill him". "Oh my god" Pippa whispers, holding me closer. My phone bleeps again. I glance around the room, everyone is here. Who could it be? I open the phone, having a dreadful feeling.

See you in an hour❤.

"I have to go" I whisper. Letting go of Pippa and standing up. Everyone looks very confused at me. "What do you mean, you have to go, you don't even know if Lin is all right" Daveed says while putting a hand on my shoulder. "I have to go to Sebbie" I respond. "I thought 'Jack' took him". Leslie says a concerned look on his face. "No time to explain" I say giving my phone to Daveed.

I run home and quickly pack a bag. clothes, baby stuff for Sebbie, a picture of the three of us. I look in the mirror, there are big bags under my eyes and my eyes have tears in them. I quickly wipe away my tears and put on a brave face. 'Can't let him win' I think to myself, before grabbing a coat and leaving, fifteen minutes left to get to his apartment.

I knock on his door, 1 minute left. He opens the door and gives me a big smile. "I almost thought you wouldn't come my love". He pulls me inside and pats me down, no doubt looking for something a wire or my phone. "Smart man" he says lifting my chin up forcing me to look in his eyes. "You're crazy" I respond.
