He's my best friend not my boyfriend!

Chapter Twenty-Three!

Jaden's pov!

Wow. I just killed a lad with a gun. He deserved it. He had been harrassing my girl friend even before we started dating. And that was nine years ago! Well. We started dating on September 14, 2030 now it is November 15, 2039. He started harrassing her like two weeks before that. So from September 1, 2030 to November 15, 2039. I don't know I'm not good at math...

He made us think my mom was dead. If she had died it would have been his fault. No matter what he would end up dead.

Now we were at the hospital, and I am anxious. What if she was hit in the head and she don't remember me. What if she doesn't remember Emzzi? What if she lost her lung punctured and can't breath without an oxygen machine?

"Are you here to see Mandy Spencer?" I stood up quickly. A nurse walked over.

"Yes. How is she? Can we see her? Can she remember us? Does she have to be on a oxygen machine?" All my thoughts came pouring out. She smiled.

"She's fine. Yes,yes, and no," she said. "Sh's in room 228. You can visit her two at a time."

"I say Emma and Jaden. They have known her longer than any of us. Even longer than me and Nialler here," Sammy said.

"Are you sure? I mean we can wait," Em said but Sam pushed her over to me and nodded us towards the door. I took her hand and turned to our friends.

"Thanks guys. For everything. You guys being here wth me means everythi-"

"Just go already!" They all whisper shouted. We chuckled and walked through the doors and down a long peach hallway.

"Ready?" I said. She nods slowly. I push open the door. On the hospital bed lay my mum. Her eyes were closed but a peaceful look was spread across her face. I smiled and walked over. I grabbed her hand in mine and me and Emma sat next to her bed.

Mum let out a soft sigh that made me jump half way to America. She opened her eyes and looked at us. "Hey Loves. How are you kiddos these days?" She asks trying to lighten the mood. I chuckle.

"You are in the hospital, and you're asking us how we are?" Emma says.

"Wait! I'm in the hospital?" She says sarcasticly. I don't think Emmzzi here noticed because she look worried. I squeased her hand trying to tell her it was a joke.

Then, I realized I had to ask her what happened and then I had to tell her I killed the guy who tried killing her. I sighed. "What is it?" She asked.

I hesitated. Then I choose to ask her what happened first.

Mandy's pov! (Jaden's mom)

When my son and my daughter, well I think of her that way, came in I was excited I got to see their faces before I almost passed.

Jaden looked scared. I thought it was of me being in the hospital, but I realized it wasn't that at all.

I sighed. "Okay. Well..."

FLASHBACK!

I was at home and Jaden was off with who I assumed was Emma or staying after school for football(soccer). As long as he was home before mid-night or called to ask to stay somewhere, I really didn't care were he was as long as he was safe.

I was about to go out back to care for our horses, goats, and the rest of our little farm we had when I heard a knock on the door. I hesitated and wondered who it could be at this time of day. I then walked over to the door and opened it to a young lad. He smirked and asked if Jay or Em were here and I shook my head. "Sorry, darlin. They haven't been here all day. What's your name? I'll tell him you stopped by," I said to the boy that stood infront of me.

"Um. I think I should just leave him a message. He will know who it's from. But I need a witness. Is your husband home?" Why is he asking this? What does he mean! I have a bad feeling about this.

FLASHBACK PAUSED!

"So you just let him shoot you like it was no big deal?" I ask. She shakes her head at me.

"No, Jaden. Just listen! You have always been able to get distracted so easily!" I say.

FLASHBACK UNPAUSED!

"I'm sorry, but umm...he's not here. C-Can I do something else?" I studder. I start to close the door but he grins and put his foot in the way and hand on the door. He pulled out a gun and my eyes got big.

"I know he's here. Oh Mr. Spencer!" My eyes started to tear up as he walked in from the kitchen. "You lied to me. I don't like being lied to" he said and aimed it at my stomache. He pulled the trigger and then everything went black.

FLASHBACK ENDS!

Jaden's pov!

I was so glad I shot that guy. If I didn't then I would end up doing it now. Which reminds me, I still have to tell her about that...

Just then there was a knock at the door. "Um. Excuse me," the police officer said. I saw our friends behind him. "Are you Jaden Spencer and Emma...uh..how do you pronounce it?" Emma's eyes got big. She nodded her head furiously.

"Yes! But just call me Emma Gayle please. I hate my last name." The officer came closer.

"I'm going to ned to take you both in for the questioning of the death of Genaro Ramirez," he said. I turned to see my mum's face and she had a worried look on her face. She mouthed 'Just tell them the truth. It won't take a long time.' I nodded.

"Ok" I say and me and Emma walked away after we said good bye to my mum.
