Jack P.O.V
The ride in the ambulance was pretty long and loud. I seemed to be the only one who noticed though as I groaned and covered my ears. Sean punched me in the arm and called me a wimp. I shot him a glare not wanting to take my hands off my ears. I leaned my elbows on my knees and watched Mel. She looked horrible yet beautiful. Ugh I groaned. I shouldn't like her. It wasn't right I was only just getting to know her again. She clutched her stomach and let out a wimper. Well I think she did at least. Everything was muffled I pulled my hands off my ears and cringed. I patted her on her back as a form of comfort. She tensed at my touch. I felt so bad for her. I clenched my teeth and curled my fists. Why would anyone hurt her so horribly for one stupid mistake. One stupid mistake that revolved around her and the school. She didn't even talk to Cindys boyfriend that often. It wasn't a maybe I know she didn't. I sighed and relaxed a bit seeing her loosen her grip on her stomach. When we finally arrived they wheeled her out on a stretcher. We were at Anne Arundel Hospital once again. I glanced over at Sean who shivered as we walked into the building. Loves it that much I thought to myself. When she got a room one of the guys told us no one could go in yet. I wanted to protest but it wouldn't help the situation so I didn't. I wandered around aimlessly in the building with Wren. Sean decided he'd talk to Kelly for a while. Eventually Wren went off to hang out with Melina's mom. I thought about going with him but it wasn't a good idea I barely knew her and she probably wouldn't like me either way. I sighed loudly and slumped against the wall. "Tumbler my good friend you were invented for a reason" I grinned pulling out my phone. I scrolled through screenshotting the ones I liked. My tumbler happiness was interrupted by a text notification from Wren.
Wren💬- We can be with Mel now ;).
Me💬- The fuck is the winky face for
Wren💬- No reason bro. Just get up here. Lol. Room 626
I grumbled to myself and found her room. She was all hooked up. She looked horrible. It was so saddening to see her like this. Sean and Wren were already seated. "She hadn't been eating enough. So that's a reason for her passing out" Wren explained. I nodded my head. "Foods here" the nurse grinned placing it next to Mel. She shook her head rapidly no and shoved it away. "It's either this or we stick a needle in your vain and feed you that way" the nurse smiled sadly. Mel's eyes went big and she started crying at the word needle. I knew exactly why. She was terrified of needles. Ever since Cindy came up with that stupid lie in her sewing class. "What's wrong with her" Sean panicked. "Get out" I hissed. Me and Wren rushed to her side. "Shh it's okay. It's okay, there aren't any needles" Wren started soothing. "Cindy isn't here. Don't worry, you're alright. We're here for you. We aren't going to let her hurt you. You'll be okay" I continued. I stroked her hair and whispers helpful nothing's while Wren helped her with her breathing. After a while she calmed down. The nurse apparently missed her breakdown and went to get a tube to shoot into her, man she had horrible timing. "NOOO NO GET IT AWAY. GET IT AWAY. I CAN'T. PLEASE NO" Melina started screaming. I got up quickly and said quietly to the nurse "give me 10 minutes alone with her. Let me calm her down. I'll get her to eat." she nodded her head in agreement. Wren walked out after persuading him to. He made me promise that I'd held and not to say the word fat, that's the only word she'd here if I did. I nodded and we did a bro hug. I sat down next to her on the bed. " Hey shhh it's okay the needles all gone right. It's not gonna hurt you" I smiled. She laughed a bit. "See funny. It doesn't have legs, it's not gonna stroll in here like I'm here let's have a party" I tried lightening the mood. She didn't laugh this time. She just looked down and avoided my gaze. I turned her head towards me and lifted her chin. Cupping her face I wiped away the tears falling from her face. "I'm sorry" she whispered. "For what? Everyone gets scared" I frowned. "I know but I feel guilty. You shouldn't have to keep helping me. Its not worth it too." She sighed shoving me away from her. "Why do you push me away? I want to help you. We were close once. Why not again?" I asked. "I'm not worth it. I never will be. I'm not pretty. I'm not special. I'm a fucking outcast. I don't deserve love and I've gotten used to that idea. I'm a piece of shit. So just leave me alone" she bit her lip as she spoke and her stomach growled. "I'll let you be if you eat" I sighed in defeat. "Fine" she cringed taking a bite of her food. She started crying as she ate, it was terrible. "Why don't you eat" I asked. "I'm already fat. Hell I don't even have a thigh gap" she cringed. "You don't need a thigh gap to be skinny" I replied. "In my book you do" she clutched her fists. "Can I be done now". I looked down at the food. She ate all the apple sauce and a bit of the chicken. "I guess" I shrugged. She pushed the food away and snuggled into the bed. Did I just say snuggled, I never say that. What was she doing to my head. I groaned and rubbed my forehead. The rest of the guys came in. "So how long am I going to be here" Melina asked. "Just today" Sean replied. We stayed till closing time and talked. Eventually we left and went to Wrens house to spend the night.
