Love Hurts but Heals

Chapter 17

Carl's POV

I burst through the doors and run up the stairs to the emergency room floor. I run and quickly lose Daryl in the hallways.

I run up to the nurses' desk. "Jordyn Samuels was in a car wreck not long ago. Where is she?"

"Down the hall, last room on the right."

I nod and run down the hall and find her door to be locked. My anger and anxiety increases dramatically, and I nearly break down the door.

"Nurse! Nurse! Open this door! Nurse!" I shout.

A guy walks to me nervously while fiddling with a set of keys. He doesn't make eye contact with me at all until I burst through the door. I can tell he's staring at me even though I can't see him.

Jordyn is bruised up really bad. Her lip is busted, bruises and scars covering her face, and she's not breathing really well.

I get down on my knees and seal her hand between mine as tears swell my eyes.

"Jordyn?..." I pierce my lips together.

I hear footsteps behind me, but I don't turn around. I stare at her closed eyelids, hoping that they will separate soon.

"Carl?" asks a familiar voice.

I tilt my head to the side. "What do you want, Peeta?"

"I have Jordyn's results. Would you like me to tell you, or do you want to see for yourself?"

"Give it here."

I reach my hand back, and he hands me a clipboard. A confusing chart stares at me, but I'd rather find it out myself than have him tell me. I will never trust him with anything, especially anything of Jordyn's.

"She has internal bleeding.... five broken ribs.... two bruised.... and her heart is slowing down?" I hold back my tears.

"Unfortunately, you are correct."

"Unfortunately?" I stand up. "Unfortunately?! You nearly killed her! Why would you say unfortunately?! I'm sure this is exactly what you've been waiting for ever since you met me!"

"I still care about her-"

"You better stop talking before I knock your front teeth down your throat. Get out of here!"

I take the clipboard and slam it across his face. He stares at me coldy for a few seconds, then punches me in the jaw. I kick him in the stomach and punch him in the nose. While he's distracted, I push him out of the door and lock it.

I touch my fingertips to my upper lip and they're covered in blood. I go to the bathroom and mop up the blood that has already escaped from my nostrils, then place another paper towel in my nose to keep any more blood from escaping.

When I finish, I walk to the bathroom door and try to open it, but it won't budge. Locked. I begin to panic and try my best to break the door down. It won't budge.

Then I hear someone scream, but after a few seconds, silence contains the room once again.
