Don't Look Back

Don't look back- Chapter 14

Chapter 14-

I opened my eyes then closed them quickly trying to adjust them to the darkness. Every inch of my body felt like it weighed 50 pounds, and my head was pounding. I tried lifting my hand and it fell the bed with a loud thump.

I layed still and listened to the beeping of a machine.

Wait, a machine? Where the heck was I?

I opened my eyes again and this time I tried my hardest to keep them open. I looked around and saw I was in a reasonably sized room with light blue walls and white trimming.

I tried to move my hands up to rub my eyes but one of them wasn't moving. I looked down and saw another hand on top of mine holding it tightly. I looked beside the hand and saw someone sleeping it was still pretty dark and I couldn't see who it was.

I lifted my other hands and moved it to touch the figures face gently but right before I put my hand fully on it's side of the face it moved and sat up.

“Justin....” my voice came out huskily and I cleared my throat. He looked at me with his eyes open wide, and he squeezed my hand tighter.

“What's wrong, where am I?” I speak in a low whisper not entirely trusting how my voice will sound.

“You're in a hospital,you hit your head then passed out.” he moved his chair closer to my bed. I tried to sit up but he forced me to stay laying and I wasn't objecting due to the fact that my head was spinning like crazy.

“How did I get here?” I turn my head to look at him slightly confused.

“I brought you here, don’t you remember?” I thought back to the night of the party and I remembered everything that happened to me; Jessica being drunk, dancing with Justin and how he sang in my ear, finding Chase and Aimee in bed together, and finally me running out after my breakdown and Justin coming after me.

I nodded to show him I remembered. “Thank you.” I mumbled as I intertwined our hands.

He looks at me surprised and I blush deeply wondering if I should have done that or not. He lifts his other hand and rubs my cheek and I feel the heat of his fingers as he traces patterns.

All of a sudden the lights turned on and I squeeze my eyes shut tightly.“Is she awake yet, oh um I guess she is and if you want me to come back I will.” after Jessica got done rambling she backed up to the door.

Justin dropped his hand from my face but still had a hold of my hand.

“No, Jessica stay.” she walked over and jumped on my bed moving me around. I grimaced and she looked at me and mouthed sorry.

“So sleeping beauty how long have you been awake.” she turned her body towards me.

“Um maybe twenty or thirty minutes.”
