Tempted

Chapter 55

James' POV

When the heart monitor went flat all hell broke loose, inside and outside of the operating room.

Some lady kept yelling code blue through the speakers and a ton of nurses came running.

I, on the other hand, was fighting with three male nurses and a security guard to get inside of the operating room.

"Sir please, you need to sit down. She will be okay, but if you try to stop us from doing our job then she will not make it." The original nurse told me.

"Listen kid, you either do what she says or I can escort you out the building and you won't be able to see her until she is out of the hospital." The security guard says.

I give the security guard a dirty look and slowly walk towards the waiting room. Taking a seat I exhale a deep breath.

I cover my face with my hands and groan.

I can't believe I let my little sister get hurt. It was bad enough having to pretend she was dead, and now she could actually be dying.

The sound of running feet, chaotic voices, and some shouts are heard at the front desk.

"We're looking for Raven Hathaway. Can you please tell us where she is?" Harry asks over all of the loud voices.

"Ms. Hathaway is currently in surgery. You will need to wait in the waiting room just like the other young man has to." She snaps at the end.

Everyone is silent for a few seconds before I hear the sound of running feet again.

"Harry don't!" Louis yells.

Harry comes charging into the room and runs straight for me. Before I get the chance to try and defend myself Harry has me pinned against the wall.

"You listen to me, and you listen to me good James. If that doctor comes out and tells me that I have lost the love of my life, I will fucking kill you. This is all your fault. You just had to let her get hurt." He sneers.

"Yes I know I fucked up, but so did you. If you would have gone with her or told her that she couldn't go home to get whatever it was she was getting then we wouldn't be in the situation that we are in now."

I push against Harry's chest causing him to stumble back.

"Now don't try to put all of the blame on me. I did the best I could to protect her. That girl is my life. She is all I have left and you best believe that if she dies I will gladly go to jail for killing my dad. He is the reason all of this has happened. If he would have just not been so obsessed with you and your gang then my mom would be alive and my sister wouldn't be in surgery fighting for her life." I whisper.

Harry grinds his jaw and shakes Louis' hands off of him.

"You have a point. It's not just your fault. If I would have been a bit more careful then we wouldn't be here. Actually we might have been here. If your dad hadn't shot Raven, he would've shot you. Raven would feel the same way you feel right now. She'd be crying so hard and saying how it's her fault that this happened." Harry says.

"How about we all take a seat and wait for a doctor to come and tell us about Raven?" Eleanor claims.

We all slowly nod our head and take a seat. Harry sits beside me near the entrance to the waiting room.

"Look, I'm sorry about how I reacted. It's just that I've never felt this way about someone before. Walking into your house to have a cop tell me that she had been shot and had bleed a lot." He sighs.
