Two Pieces (Demi Lovato and Jesse Williams)

12

Jesse's POV

I couldn't bring myself to go to work the night after Demi caught me kissing Taylor because I knew she was working that night. I didn't want her to feel any pressure from me and as badly as I just wanted to apologize a million times until I get her back, she needed her space. I stopped calling her also, but I still sent her a message every morning for the next couple of weeks. I haven't seen her since then either. When I know she's working at the hospital, I stay away from the reception desk that I know she works at. I haven't been into the diner either. I've been miserable ever since though so I can't even imagine how she's feeling. She was right. I'm exactly like all those guys she first thought I was. I wish I had been stronger and just pushed Taylor away. She's tried to text me also, but I eventually blocked her number because I wanted nothing to do with her anymore. The weeks seemed to drag on though and after it had been a month, I decided that I had given her enough time and I would go talk to her. I just needed to see her. I know she's working tonight at the hospital, so I hesitantly walked over to the reception desk during my break, but when I got there, I didn't see any sign of Demi.

"Hey, Bryan!" I call when I see him walk by. He walks up to me and gives me a smile. "Did Demi call out? She's not here?" I ask him.

"She called and told me she was going to be a few minutes late because of traffic. Now that I think about it though, it's been awhile." He says looking down at his watch and I all the sudden got a really bad feeling. The same bad feeling I got hours before Noah passed away. He then walked away after telling me that he was going to call her again but I barely heard him. I grabbed my own phone and debated on calling Demi. Just then, my phone starts ringing and I see an unknown number.

"Hello?" I answer.

"Jesse." I hear Bella's panicked but still quiet voice which just made me even more panicked.

"What's wrong Bella?" I ask her worriedly.

"Somethings wrong. It's a feeling. But I know I'm right. My mom isn't answering her phone and she never doesn't answer. Is she at work?" She asks and I run my hand down my face.

"No she isn't." I say, but just then I hear a ton of commotion followed by nurses running past me. I follow them and see someone who just got out of an ambulance being wheeled through. They run straight past me and thats when I start to see the person on the bed. Dark hair, tattoos.

"Demi!" I shout as I run after them. "I have to go Bella. Call someone to have them bring you to the hospital." I say before hanging up. I felt bad leaving her hanging and scared, but I needed to see what happened to Demi. They run her into the OR which just made me even more scared. I tried to run in after them, but Bryan stopped me.

"You can't go in there." He says and I shake my head and try to push past him.

"It was Demi. She was on the bed." I say as tears fill my eyes.

"You cant go in there Jesse. You need to wait in the family room. I will try and see what's going on or what happened." He says and I shake my head again as I turn around and walk away. I'm finding out for myself what happened. I go to where the ambulance comes in and I run into an EMT.

"We're you the one that just brought in the woman with dark hair? Her name is Demetria?" I ask him and he nods. "That's my girlfriend. Please tell me what happened." I say not even caring that I said girlfriend.

"She was in a really bad car accident. Her car flipped and caught on fire. We were able to get her out before then, but she's in really bad shape." He says and I feel my heart drop.

"How bad of shape?" I ask with tears threatening to fall.

"She was unconscious and barely breathing when we got to her. She has a visibly broken arm and the rest was internal so I don't know yet." He says and shake my head. This can't be happening. No. I turn around again and walk behind one of the reception desks and go on the computer to find Demi's file. I need to call her family members. I find her moms number so I pick up the phone and dial it.
