What even is love? - Jiara

Part 5

*JJ POV*

"Dad. What are you doing here I thought you were heading down to Yucatan?" I question him. "You little shit. The cops caught me and said someone called them. I know it was you. They arrested me and I got out early for good behavior so I came here waiting for your ass to show up" he said aggressively.

"I never told anyone, I swear. Dad please believe me"
I said soft and quiet. "You swear nothing boy!" he yelled.

The next thing I knew he ran towards me and picked me up my the neck and pushed me against the wall. I struggled for air. He dropped me on the floor landing on my back. He began rapidly punching me. All over. In the face. In the ribs. Everywhere. I tried to fight back but he twisted my wrist. "Your a worthless piece of shit!" Punch. "Your mama was smart enough to leave you early on!" Punch. "You will end up alone!" Punch. "Nobody will ever love you!" Punch. "I wish you hadn't failed!" Punch. "My life would be so better if you weren't born!" Punch. "I wish you would die!" Punch. "If you died I would cry tears of happiness!" Punch. "You deserve nothing!" Punch. "The world would be a better place without you!" Punch. "You can't even do one thing to make your father happy!" Punch. He went on and on.

The words hurt more then the physical pain. He found a empty bear bottle and smashed it on my head. He kicked me in the ribs a few times then left. I laid there motionless not being able to move without a screeching pain going through my entire body.

*Kiara POV*

I took my first step inside. All the lights were off. Of course there off its 2am what are you thinking. "Hello? Mom? Dad?" I yelled.

My mom slowly walked down the steps in a lilac silk robe. As soon as she saw me tears filled her eyes. "Mike get down here!" she yelled. My dad then walked downstairs too and didn't say anything. He stood there with his mouth open not knowing what to say.

A few minutes went by of just awkward staring. My mom and dad both approached me and hugged me tightly. I hugged them back and we were all in tears. After a long hug we all sat down in the living room. My dad noticed the stitches in my leg. "Kiara what happened to your leg and where were you?" my dad questioned in a serious tone. "Oh that, I fell and cut myself its not a big deal. Where I was. Long story short me and the pouges snuck on a boat to save Sarah because Wards alive and kidnapped her and then we all got stranded on an island." I said acting like I didn't just have the craziest couple of weeks of my life.

"You what?!" my mom yelled. "Got stranded on a desert island." I repeated myself awkwardly. "Are you hurt? Why is there blood on your sweatshirt?" my dad asked me. "Shit. This is JJ's sweatshirt I got cold so he gave it to me i'm gonna go give it back to him." I said as I stood up and walked outside. "Kiara! That doesn't answer my question!" my dad said as my mom and him walked . "He got hit by the blunt end of a machete!" I yelled walking further and further away. "A machete?!" my mom asked in worry. "The blunt end!" I yelled before walking away not being able to see my house anymore.

I soon got to his house. The lights were on so I knew he was up. I knocked but there was no answer. I opened the door and I started balling my eyes out.

I saw JJ unconscious in a puddle of blood. I ran over to him and bent down. "JJ! JJ PLEASE! WAKE UP!" I said struggling to get the words out as I was crying harder then ever. I grabbed my phone and called 911.

Soon the ambulance got here and loaded him in. "Ma'am what happened." a nurse asked me. "I don't know- he let me borrow something- and when I got here I saw him like this" I said anxiously.

"Please can I come with him?" I asked holding back tears. "Yes, and what is your relation with him?" she asked. "Oh uh i'm his- friend" I said.

What felt like hours but was only a few minutes we got to the hospital. "Doctor Wilson were short staff we don't have enough rooms. Hold off on this patient for a few hours" a receptionist said. "This man doesn't have a few hours get me a room now!" she yelled. My heart rate was exploding and soon enough they got him a room.

I stood in the corner crying watching the doctors. "His heart rate is dropping" one said. "All clear!" shock. "Again! Clear!" shock. "AGAIN! CLEAR!" one yelled. "JJ please! I can't come this close to loosing you again! Please!" I yelled crying. "Miss its ok his heart rate is back to normal" the doctor said.

It has been an hour since JJ got to the hospital I was in the waiting room waiting for an update. Shortly after a doctor came out. "Ma'am Mr. Maybank has gotten lots of stitches and an MRI and he has a concussion. He has many bruises and is on pain killer. He is asleep right now. You can see him but don't wake him up he needs rest" she said calmly.

I felt pain knowing how bad JJ's injuries were and I didn't know how it happened. I got up and walked into the room. I sat down on a chair next to his bed. My heart broke when I saw bandages on his head. Bruises all over him and red marks on his neck. There were big purple and blue bruises that covered half his face.

Tears filled my eyes. I grabbed his hand and held it. There were cuts and a bruise on it. "I'm scared as hell to want you. But here I am, wanting you anyway. My god you have no idea how much I like you. How much you make me smile, how much I love talking to you. Or how much I wish you were mine.." I said as a tear dripped down my cheek.

I stared at him for a few minutes. "Kie?" he asked. "JJ. Oh my god your awake!" I smiled. "Kie what am I doing here and why are you here?" he asked. "I went to your house to give you back your sweatshirt and I found you" I started to tear up. "and i'm here because I wanted to be here when you woke up" I said.

"Kie. Why have you been crying?" he questioned softly. "J you almost died" I responded and got teary eyed again. He moved over on the bed and patted the spot next to him.

I laid down next to him and hugged him while laying my head on his chest. "You really scared me" I said. "I'm sorry it wont happen again" he said as he stroked me hair. "Can you tell me who did this to you?" I asked looking up at him. "I will but not now" he responded. I wanted to know sooner then later but I get where he was coming from.

We laid together for a while and we both fell asleep. When I woke up it was bright out. "Wow your finally up I thought you'd sleep forever" JJ said with a laugh. I playfully hit him in the arm. "Kie you should go home and shower" he said. "Why can't I stay?" I asked him. "You can come back later but your clothes and skin are covered in my blood" he said. "Ok fine" I said.

I got up said goodbye and left.
