Mystery Luke (Luke Brooks fanfic)

Chapter 8

~Lukes Pov~

For the past four days, I have sat beside Jess in a hospital bed. It killed me everytime I seen her lying there lifeless. I held her hand atleast for 23 and a half hours of the day, everyday. Everyone keeps telling me to go home and get some rest because i haven't slept in atleast 2 days, which was for only about 3 hours. I can't leave her, I love her too much to just leave her, she needs me and I need her. Jess is in a coma, her mum and Callum didn't go to America, and sitting in the waiting room is Jai, Mum, Beau, Daniel, James, Casey, Laney, Sophie, Dianne and Callum. Everyone is so depressed becuase we obviously miss Jess. But I miss her smile, her personality, the way she can make you smile when your sad, the way she makes you fall in love with her all over again everyday.

I miss her laugh most of all. The way her lips first turn into a smirk and then her mouth opens and her cute dimples. I miss her more than anything. Today is 1 week and 2 days before we go back to school, and I hope I can still have the suprise for Jess. I decided to go and get a drink and check on our families. I walked into the waiting room to see beau and casey together, daniel, Callum, james and laney asleep on eachother, my mum and Jess's mum asleep next to eachother and Jai on his phone. "Hey" i said as I approached jai. "Anything yet?" He asked in a sleepy tone. "Nope, nothing. The same as yesterday and the day before that" i said a bit pissed off than needed. "We all miss her, but I can't imagine how you feel" he said as he patted my back.

I bought a bottle of water and some frangipanis from the shop they had in the hospital. Framgipanis were her favourite, I remember her telling me about how she wanted the flowers at her wedding to be frangipanis in all colours. I found her room number. Number 28. I forced the doctor to put her in that number room as it is her favourite number and I thought it may bring us some luck. I slowly opened the door to the sound of a beep every three seconds and a still Jess, lying in the same place they put her when we arrived. As I sat the flowers in the vase next to her bed I faintly remember the doctor saying that if she didn't wake up the day school went back they would have to turn her life support off, which obviously we all protested against.

The next morning I fell asleep with Jess's hand in mine. I cracked my neck from the position it was in last night and yawned. I had a feeling today was just going to be the same as yesterday. I kissed Jess's forehead and proceeded to the waiting room. Everyone had gone home except Jess's mum, my mum Casey, Beau and Laney. Dianne wanted to see Jess but didn't have the courage because she was affraid. Occasionally she went in and checked on her though. Then, as I was talking to Dianne she instantly stopped and looked towards the front counter. I looked at Casey and Laney and their faces dropped. What were they all looking at?!

There was a man at the counter and when he looked over here he seemed to recognise the girls. "HOW DARE YOU" Casey stood up and screamed as the man approached us. "YOU HAVE NO RIGHT BEING HERE YOU ANIMAL" she screamed at the top of her lungs. Laney tried to hold her back as he just stood there in shock. I seen Dianne squint her eyes in anger and frowned her eyebrows. "What are you doing here?!" Dianne asked trying to hold in her anger. "I AM ALLOWED TO SEE MY DAUGHTER" he yelled over everyone. Jess had rarley talked about her dad but she said he was the reason they moved to LA from Australia becuase he used to hit her, Callum and their mum. "So your her poor excuse of a dad" i said standing up so I was height level with him. "And who are you?" He said raising his voice. "Im Jess's boyfriend which you would know nothing about" i said being smart. "Watch your mouth boy" he said. But i shrugged him off and sat back down.

"You need to leave" I overheard Dianne talking to the man. I then heard some more mumbling and some yelling. I got up and began to walk back to jess's room with Casey and Laney as they wanted to see her. "CASEY" I heard jess's dad yell down the hallway, followed with loud footsteps. I turned around to see him approaching us. "where is her room?" he asked heavily and deeply. "fuck off" i said with a pause in between the fuck and off. "I am her father and you have no say in what I can and can't do" he mumbled. "oh yeah" I said smartly. Then I heard a thud and a moan and people yelling. I opened my eyes to see jess's dad lying on the ground with his hands clenched around his neck and squirming on the ground in pain. I looked around to see Casey shaking her hand and rubbing her knuckles. "I was gonna punch him, if you waited about 5 more seconds" I said in shock. "sorry I got carried away" she said laughing.

Jess's "dad" got taken out of the hospital and laney, Casey and I decided to finally go see Jess, this would be the first time they had seen her. "Hey Jess" Laney said sympatheticly, waiting for a responce. Casey didn't say anything but held her hand and cried. It was so sad to see Jess lying there and Casey crying into her hand. They have been friends since year 1, thats 10 years of friendship. I rubbed Casey's back for sympathy, i then looked over at Laney who sat in the other chair opposite Casey. I sat on the end of jess's bed and looked at her friends. I looked at Jess, she still held jess's hand and quietly sobbed. Then at Laney who sat there blankly, she never really had much emotion towards anything. I held my phone in my hand and clicked the screen a few times until a yellow screen came up.

I turned the camera on snapchat around and turned my phone sideways. I took a picture of those three beautiful girls. They didn't know it becuase they weren't looking, but I did. I wrote on the picture 'i would do anything to get you back' i saved it to my camera roll and sent it to my story and the three girls. A tear rolled down my cheek as I seen jess's phone light up on the table beside her bed. Casey and Laneys phones vibrated but they both ignored it, I would of too. I thought 'this is it' , 'she isn't going to wake up' , ' we will never know how the future will take place'. I just wish this would all go away and things would go back to normal and Jess would wake up. I began to play Jess's favourite song, our song. It was 'superheroe' by 'the script'

*Jess pov*

I heard something. It sounded like a vibration. Wait where am I? Why is it so fucking dark. I heard someone sniffling, are they crying? I can feel two people holding my hand. what is that bright light over there? Im so close to it I can almost touch it. Wait, What's that noise? It's a song. I know this song. "When you've been fighting for it all your life, you've been struggling to make things right, thats how a superhero learns to fly" I love this song. This is mine and Lukes song. Wait, is he trying to tell me something? Okay Jess just follow the music. "Everyday, every hour da da da dum dum da" Ooooh room number 28. That's my favourite number. The door is open. Oh my god. LUKE. CASEY. LANEY. Why can't they hear me?! Hold my hand Luke. Touch my leg, I just want to feel you touch me. PLEASE. Ouch my leg hurts. Why did I fall onto the ground. My head is throbbing. Wait, why are we at my 16th Birthday? Why am I at the dentist with Casey when I got my braces? Why am in my room with Luke? Why am I at the hospital when mum had Callum? What are all these flashbacks? WHAT IS HAPPENING? I JUST WANT THIS ALL TO STOP.

Why is it so bright? I slowly blinked my eyes open. IM NOT DEAD. I looked around the plain room and nobody was there. I pulled out all the cords and shit that was attached to me. I felt really dizzy but regained my balance and made sure I could see straight. I need to see Luke. Okay, the sign says down the elevator. I quickly pressed the button and the elevator finally came. I got in and pushed the waiting room floor. The doors open. "LUKE" I yell throughout the hospital. His head quickly shot up and we both ran towards eachother. I noticed everyone else running behind him. We hugged. Oh thank fuck I could touch and hold him again. "I have missed you so fucking much" he said through tears. "Don't ever do that to me again" he added. We kissed. With everyone watching, and to be honest I didn't really care.
