The Dark Side

Chapter 18 ~The Dark Side

Hey guys! Please comment and vote! Tell me what you think of my fanfic so far. Please? Love you all!!! <3

Recap:

"I love y........", Emily started before being interrupted by her door slammed open. "I just got a call and Jason is in the hospital!", Emily's coach hectically said. Em and I both took a quick look at each other before speaking one simple name. "Veronica."

Emily's POV:

I sat there shocked not knowing what to do. Veronica was dangerous. "EMILY, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU? DID YOU HURT HER HARRY?" My coach yelled as he viewed my bloody and bruised body. "No sir.", Harry responded. "Harry would never hurt me Mr. Johnson.", I spoke. "THEN WHAT HAPPENED?", Mr. Johnson said raising his voice. Tears filled my vision as the horrible memories of earlier that day filled my mind. "Someone decided that Emily and Jason were their new victims.", Harry spoke while directing his view to the floor. "Who?", Mr. Johnson questioned. "My ex-girlfriend, Veronica.", Harry half whispered. "Emily you're banned from seeing Harry ever again. He is putting you and Jason in danger. I will not tolerate it.", Mr. Johnson growled. "NO, you can't do that!", I whined. "Yes I can!", Mr. Johnson stated firmly. "Please don't do this! You don't understand.", I cried. "Emily he is dangerous. Now Harry get out of my house and don't come back.", Mr. Johnson demanded. "Yes, sir.", Harry said as he got up from the bed and started to walk out. "HARRY!", I cried out. "It's for your own good Em.", he responded. "No.", I whispered. "Take care Em. I love you.", Harry said before walking out of the room. "I love you too.", I whispered as I heard the front door slam shut.

"What did you do?", I asked. "Protected you.", Mr. Johnson responded. I felt my eyes get heavy with tears. "Em, he's just a boy. Now c'mon. We need to go see Jason.", Mr. Johnson said while walking out of my room. "But I love him.", I whispered to myself.

Jason's POV:

I peeled my eyes open to discover I was in a white room surrounded with machines. Great! How did I manage to land myself into the hospital?, I thought. That's when it all hit me. "Veronica.", I grumbled as I threw my head back on to the pillow.

Flashback:

"This is all my fault! I have to find this Veronica girl.", I said before exiting the room. I ran out of the house to be greeted by the person I was looking for. "Hello Jason!", Veronica cheered. "You're sick! Why the hell would you do that to Emily?", I questioned. "Cause she is stealing Harry away from me.", she argued. "Harry doesn't like you. Get that in your mind. He clearly loves Emily and she loves him. Don't mess with them.", I warned. "Harry likes me! He does not love Emily! He will be mine! MINE!!!!", she exclaimed. "You really are delusional.", I said. "I'm sorry what was that?", she questioned inching closer. "You are delusional.", I repeated speaking louder. "You should have never said that.", she said with a smirk. "Why?", I asked. "Look behind you Jason dear.", she suggested. My head turned around to see a big man standing behind me. "Oh shit", I whispered before being knocked unconscious to the ground.

God why did I ever agree to Vernoica's plan in the beginning?, I thought. If I would have stayed away from her Emily would be fine and we would not be in this situation. "JASON!", a teary eyed Emily yelled as she ran over to me. "Hey Em.", I said quietly still ashamed for what I put her through. "What happened? What did Veronica do to you?", she asked with wide eyes. "Nothing too bad, just knocked unconscious.", I said. "That's terrible!", she argued. "Not even close to the damage she did to you.", I whispered sympathetically. "It's all my fault that you're here! I am so sorry.", Emily cried. "Shh, Em it is definitely not your fault I am here. It's mine. Okay?", I said while rubbing her back. "I'm so sorry.", she whispered. "Don't be.", I reassured her.

"It will all be okay.", I whispered. "No, it wont be. Everything is horrible.", she half whispered. 'What do you mean?", I asked her. "I'm banned from seeing Harry.", she whispered. "Why?", I asked confused. "Cause of Veronica.", she whispered as tears filled her puffy eyes. "Em, it's okay. You will get over him and you will move on with your life and maybe you will be happier. It is for the best.", I said.

"You don't get it do you? Before Harry entered my life, I was alone in my dark world. Harry changed that. He made me feel worth something. He made me feel like I actually had a purpose to live on the Earth. No one ever made me feel that way. No one. Harry was the one that saved me from my mother. My mother made my life a living hell. She even drove my father to suicide. Something no one knew about me. You have no idea how badly I wanted to repeat him decision. The night I came home after finding you fooling around with some girl was the night I attempted to end it all. My life was a lie and I had nothing to live for. I waited for you to follow me, but you didn't. Do you have any idea how worthless you made me feel? I believed you that you loved me and you went and fooled around with another girl. I knew I was ready to leave. I took all the pills in the bottle and waited to slip into an everlasting sleep. I never slipped into that deep sleep. I cried all night, wishing I would have died, wishing I could just disappear. Everyday I would just survive the day instead of living it. I finally found someone who I truly love and I can't even see him anymore. I will never get over him. He changed my life. He made me feel special and honestly I don't know what I would do with out him.", she cried.

I was speechless. How was I supposed to respond to her? All I could do was stare into her puffy eyes and wrap my arms around her shaking body.

"It really hurts me to know that I pushed you to suicide. I was totally immature and decided that I was going to have some fun that night. I can't neglect what happened and I won't defend myself. I was stupid. I let the most perfect girl go from a stupid mistake. It hurts me even more to know that every time you smiled it was fake and you were so depressed. I have no idea how I could not notice that. As badly as I would love to call you mine, I know I can't because I was an idiot. I hate to admit it, but I have seen the way Harry looks at you and I know he truly loves you and doesn't want anything to happen to you. He would never make the mistake I made.  Look, I'm gonna help you to see Harry. Mr. Johnson will never have to know. It will be our little secret", I whispered.

"Really? You would do that for me?", she asked as her eyes grew wide with excitement. "Of course!", I said with a smile. "Thank you Jason! You're the best!", She said as she squeezed me into a hug.

"What's going on here?", Mr. Johnson questioned as he leaned in the doorway. Em and I shot glares at each other wondering if he had heard our conversation. "I am really exicted to see Jason alive!", Emily said covering quickly. "Oh I see. I am too. I just spoke to the doctor and he said you are free to go.", Mr. Johnson said with a slight smile on his face. "Great!", I exclaimed. "But I want you to get checked out Emily. Come with me.", Mr. Johnson spoke signaling for her to follow him. "Okay. Oh, and thanks again Jason.", she said with a smile on her face as she followed Mr. Johnson.

I took a deep breath as soon as they left the room. Sneaking Emily around to see Harry was risky. All I need to do is figure out how to get rid of Veronica. She was so clever, so sneaky. "I know!", I exclaimed. "A restraining order.", I whispered to myself while rubbing my hands together. I reached for my phone on the side of the hospital bed. I searched my contacts searching for the one person who could help me carry out my plan. Harry Styles.
