Pick Me

Chapter Eleven

<Joey's POV>

I look over towards the door to see a tall man standing in the doorway. He was tall, had short brown black hair with almost grey eyes. He had bags under his eyes and looked really tired. He had something behind his back but I couldn't see what it was. I slowly stand up and walk towards him. He glares at me and walks out into the hallway. I reluctantly follow. We stand in the hallway with no one around, I start to get nervous.

"So, Mr. Graceffa, would you like to explain to me what you are doing with my girlfriend and why she is in the hospital?" He says oddly calm

"Well, she moved out to Los Angeles a week or so ago and she said that you were her ex. The reason she's here is because she thought you were coming and she fainted and hit her head" I say nervously

"She said I was her ex? She must be joking. We are deeply in love" he says

"She said that you used to hurt her and that's the reason why she left" I say, regreting it. He rushes towards me pulling out a knife. He pins me against the wall with the blade to my neck.

"Who else knows?" he says

"Just me" I say trying not to move. I start to not be able to breathe. He puts the blade down and I fall to the ground trying to catch my breath. Then he kicks me in the ribs and I black out.

<Kate's POV>

I wake up in a hospital room. My mom is on the couch sleeping. It must be late. But Joey's not here. I start to worry.

"Mom?" I loudly whisper. She wakes up and rushes over to me

"Oh my sweet baby. Do you feel okay? Do you need anything?" she asks

"No mom I'm fine. Where's Joey?" I ask. My mom frowns and sits in the chair next to me.

"Baby, Brian came and took Joey out in the hallway to talk to him. He kicked Joey in the ribs" she says

"Is Joey okay?" I ask

"He has two broken ribs and some cuts on his throat. We have no idea how the cuts got there but they aren't too severe" she says 

"What room is he in? I want to see him now" I say starting to get up

"Kate no you can't get out of bed. You haven't stood up in three days" mom says pushing me back down

"Mom I have to see him. Is there any other way?" I ask

"I'll ask the doctor, I'll be right back. Don't move" she says getting up. She walks out the door and down the hall. I look for my phone and find it on the night stand. I turn it on and see that all of my social medias are blowing up. First I check my instagram. I got so many followers! I look at my comments and I see that most of them say "Get better soon" Confused I go to twitter and I see so many tweets saying get better Kate. I look at Joey's twitter and I see that he posted a video about what happened, it was put up two days ago. I smile and I check the rest of my social medias. Then I tweet that I woke up and that I'm feeling better and thanking everyone for the get well soon comments and tweets. I plug my phone back in and my mom comes back into the room with a wheel chair. She rolls it towards me and I hop on. My legs were very wobbly but I could make it without falling. I sit down and she pushes me to a different. room. She stops at a room at the end of the hallway. She rolls me in and I almost start crying. I see Joey in the bed. He is pale and has machines hooked up to him everywhere. You could see the cuts on his neck and it hurt me just to look at them. Mom rolled me right next to his bed and sat down on one of the other chairs. I take his hand and I hold it tight. I feel the tears in my eyes but I tell myself I'm not going to cry, but the longer I look at him, the more I want to cry. I feel tears starting to run down my cheek and I start crying. I take his hand with both of mine and I cry into it. I feel a tighter grip on my hands. I look up and see Joey's eyes flutter open.

"Goodmorning beautiful" he says
