Shawn's POV;
I've never felt like more of a family than I do with just Alyssa and Chloe right now. Even when our parents were still alive. My mom died when Chloe was just 3- she's the youngest out of all us.
"Since we still are locked up in here..what do ya wanna do?", Alyssa smiled swinging her legs over the hospital bed and onto my lap. I played with the laces on her shoes.
"Want me to invite our new friends in?", she said pulling off her shoes and laying on the smelly pillow next to me.
"Yeah! We can all get pizza or something called up from the Dominos across the street.", I said turning on the TV.
"Anything good?"
I shook my head flipping through the channels. I was going to go mad if I didn't find something to entertain me.
"Go on the App store Shawn. See if there are any new games."
Okay...Facebook...Twitter...Bejeweled....Vine?
"What's Vine?", I said handing her my phone, she just shrugged and pressed the Download button.
Hayes's POV;
"What do you think of Alyssa and Chloe?", I said swallowing the pills so I wouldn't have a seizure in my sleep or anything like that. Nash was putting a pillow on the small sofa in the room and Jack Johnson watching Youtube videos.
"Both hot. Both funny and nice.", Nash said putting his feet up on the arm of the chair and his arms behind his head.
"Agreed.", Johnson said from the back of the room.
I stood up looking out the large window of the hospital room. I could see the beach from here and smell the ocean. I'd do anything to be there right now. But no..I have to be all messed up and have seizures twice a month and I can't even remember them.
I quickly closed the blinds before I started to think like that again and began crumpling up pieces of paper and shooting them into the garbage can across from my hospital bed.
Chloe's POV;
I wish I could look good for whatever was going on tonight. I wish I could throw on a nice, tight pair of jeans, or a really cute skirt. But I'm in the hospital room with my brother who was just in a car accident and he's laughing with my sisters taking 6 second videos of them beating the shit out of other, and I'm in the hospital bathroom trying to salvage whatever's left in my basically-empty bottle of mascara. And all I have to make up for it is the fact that the shirt I'm wearing shows off my boobs.
I unlocked my phone, shit. I have to be in his room in 4 minutes! I threw out the mascara and downed a container of mints before charging out of the bathroom and following the hospital directory to his room.
Finally. Room 148.
Before I could knock the door was already opened and I could feel a heavy breeze. I only saw a really, really attractive guy laying in the bed. That was Cameron- the cancer patient.
"Hi. Do you know where J-", and I felt that same hand wrap around the same spot on my waist. His fingertips pressing into my skin. Cameron smiled.
"I think that's the answer to your question.", he said.
Jack took my hand and walked me to the other side of the hospital room.
"I've only been caught doing this once. Just keep quiet and stay brave...okay?", I nodded with wide eyes and a curious mind. What were we doing? I think I had the wrong idea.
Without knowing what was happening, Jack took my hand in his and I felt the warmth of his fingers intertwine with mine and in that moment I never wanted to be anywhere or be doing anything else. Even if it was crazy that I was following this suicidal boy I just met today out the window on the 4th floor of a hospital building and we were sitting in between the window and the ledge.
"And we're here.", he clapped his hands together. I turned around looking at Cameron.
"She likes you Jack. Any other girl would've been gone by now.", thank god it was too dark for them to see me blush. His hand still grasped onto mine.
"Don't worry- he's on his meds and will out like a light in no time.", I laughed and looked outside.
"This doesn't bother you?", I asked.
"I'm not bothered or scared by much anymore. You know my last suicide attempt actually was jumping off a building."
I covered my mouth and looked down at the traffic lights and cars beeping. Los Angelos was so thrilling and alive at night, and then the beach was so calm and silent. Two different worlds in 1 galaxy.
"Why? Why not something simpler?", I asked playing with the tips of his fingers now.
"Do you ever get that chilling feeling in your body where your blood rushes and your hearts beating a million times a second? You're hands are shaking and you're adrenaline is insane?", he had this wild look in his eyes now. Like he was searching for something he needed so bad.
"I mean...I don't know."
"Well that's the thing. Falling off a tall building knowing in just a few seconds you'll be dead. Or maybe not. These crazy things happen all the time, just look at me I was saved from dying THREE times. And it's not like I need to be alive anyways."
"Jack please don't say those things.", I said cupping his face with my hand.
He tightly gripped my wrist, and let go once he realized he was hurting me.
"When even you're parents are telling you that you don't deserve to be alive it kind of sticks with you.", he said looking embarassed and ashamed.
I looked back inside the hospital room at Cameron and realized Jack was right.
He was fast asleep.
