Nash's POV;
"This isn't supposed to be happening.", I said grabbing my sweatshirt and slides opening the front door.
"Now where are you going!?", Matt said following me out the door with Shawn behind him.
My cheeks were burning up. Hayes hated when I told people about his epilepsy.
But then again- look where that's gotten him.
I picked up the pace speeding down the stairs when I began to hear the paramedics.
"Nash?", Shawn asked concerned. I ducked beneath the police tape and turned around before Matt and Shawn could go any further.
"What the hell man?", Matt said trying to peek over me. I raised my hands.
"It's Hayes relax! This happens every....once in a while.", I sped up past the paramedics and the guard watching anyone who attempted to cross the tape that wasn't family. This was such a casual event that I wasn't that worried anymore. I mean yes, he could fall and hit his head or be so surprised by the attack his heart could stop, but the chances were very, very slim. Plus, Hayes had this since he was in 2nd grade. I stared at his body on the stretcher and frowned. I rubbed Alyssa's back, she was in tears.
"Shhh don't be scared. Please. I promise he'll be okay.", I whispered hugging her tight and rocking her back and forth. She rubbed her temples and tried to look at Hayes without breaking down again.
"It was terrifying.", she sniffled. "Just like when Shawn got in the accident."
I frowned and kicked my legs on the stand holding the stretcher up. They had an oxygen mask on Hayes and put straps over his arms and legs to get him to stop thrashing all over the place. I kissed the top of Alyssa's head before I called Johnson.
"Hey Jack....can you come down to the second floor stairwell? It's Hayes. Yeah, he had one again.", I hung up and put my phone back in my pocket.
"He's gonna be destroyed if he wakes up in that hospital bed for the 3rd time this past month and a half. He practically lives there.", I said to Matt as we walked back upstairs.
"Well they said it was just minor and they could send him home tonight if he was stable.", Matt said trying to lighten up the mood.
Just when I pulled on the handle of the door Johnson ran into me.
"You're a little late.", I said laughing.
"What were you doing?", Shawn said.
I smirked and patted Jack on the back.
"It's okay....I think we know.", Matt said laughing hysterically.
"No no!!", Johnson was wide eyed and beet red, "I...was. I was taking videos."
He showed us his profile on that Vine app. We all had it by now. It was addicting.
"Okay bud.", I said still laughing.
Jack G's POV;
I couldn't help but stare. She kept tripping from her flip flops getting caught in the chunks of sand and seaweed. I towered over her and could see her toes painted a bright, bright blue.
"I like your nails.", I said awkwardly scratching the back of my neck. I could feel her watch my arms flex and I tried not to grin.
I don't know what it was. But I felt like I was chasing her, and the last thing I did with girls. On top of the suicidal issue, I tried sex to get my thoughts off of my mind. But just like drinking and running away, it only solved things temporarily.
"That's the best you got?", she said turning around and pushing herself into me. I stumbled back and gave her a look.
She looked frightened right as I scooped her up and held her towards the sky with my hands. She was above my head and freaking out.
"That's what you get!", I said laughing and running to the ocean.
She was hitting my hand but I barely felt it. It was so cute how she tried acting as if she could intimidate me.
"Jack PUT ME THE FUCK DOWN!!!!!", She slammed her hand on the back of my head and I gave up.
"Alright....you asked.", I said just as I dropped her into the chilly water. Her shorts and shirt were soaked and I cupped the water in my hands pouring it onto her hair. Her teeth were gritted and her jaw clenched, I was actually scared she was going to attack me.
I raised my hands slowly back away when she lunged at me with a handful of wet sand.
"Hey!", I yelled feeling in go into my eye. It was stinging and I couldn't see but I felt her cold, pruny fingertips pull me close.
"Sorry lemme wash it out.", and just like she was- I was drenched.
I sat in the water for a while moving my hands back and forth while she stood over me crossing her arms.
"You gotta learn to have a little fun.", I said.
And just for half a second. I saw a glimmer of a smile.
