Because of You

Givin N' Takin

Vern’s POV

 I tried to move but I felt frozen. I’d felt this before and I didn’t like it. I kept going back to the photo trying to drum up an excuse for him but I couldn’t. I was so stupid I can’t believe I actually fell for him. I went to walk to my room forgetting about the glass I had just dropped. I screeched in pain feeling the shards pierce my feet. I sat down in the chair next to me and pulled out the pieces with tweezers I had in my pocketbook. I pull out all the glass, rinse my feet off a couple times, and put on flip flops. I get a broom and start to clean up the mess. I end up cleaning up the entire kitchen. I walk upstairs and start to undress. I hop in the shower and just let the water calm me down. I just keep thinking about that picture and the tears start to flow again. And there I am crying over a boy in the shower who probably isn’t even worth the tears.

Bailey’s POV

 I’m sitting on the couch my head in Zach’s lap scrolling on my phone when I see a picture. I flip out having a huge repetitive “oh my god” moment.

 

“What” Zach asks soundly as extremely curious as I had yet to show him what I was screaming at. I showed him the picture, it was Jesse and another girl making out in a club.

 

“Oh shit Jesse, what the hell did you do”.

 

My thoughts go immediately to Vern. I start to put on my shoes and my coat quick.

 

“I’ve gotta go see Vern, she needs me right now”. I kiss him on the cheek and run out the door hoping in the car and driving to the house.

 

I pull out of the driveway and drive toward the house. I stop at a stop sign and wait for the light to turn green. It finally turns and I pull out. I look right and suddenly theres a car smashing into me. I feel myself go numb and everything goes dark……..

Vern’s POV

 I’m laying in my bed so exhausted with the day. I was going to wait for Bailey to come home but I think she’s staying over Zach’s. I am just about to pass out when I hear my phone ringing. I groan and pick it up.

 

“Hello?”

 

“Hi, is this Veronica Adams?”

 

“Yes, who is this”

 

“This is St.Lukes Hospital we have your friend Bailey her she got in a horrific car accident we--”

 

Thats all I heard before I jumped up threw on some sweatpants a sweatshirt, grabbed my phone and ran to the car. I hopped in the car and drove as fast as I could to the hospital. I parked in the lot and sprinted into the emergency room. I ran in and almost fell hitting the receptionist's desk. I talk extremely fast asking about Bailey Grant. The lady frowns and I ask her again. She says a doctor will be with me in a minute to talk to me. I start to curse her out shes so rude and my best friend is in their, but I keep my cool and walk away from the desk. I pull out my phone to see a message from Zach asking if Bailey ever made it to my place. I start to cry and realize I haven’t told anyone. I call Zach first and then the band mates. I start to call Jesse but I end up not calling him and I call Matty and the boys instead. I pray that she’s ok I don’t know what I’d do without her.
