After Love ❣︎ [James Dean]

Chapter Thirteen

Chapter Thirteen
Nora's POV

James worries me. He said he was planning to race a car one last time to help a friend out. I get why he was going to do. I wished he would not race. Something about it seemed unsafe to me. Though watching car races could be fun it was definitely difficult to watch someone you cared about racing one.

Taking their own life in danger like that. I loved James. I don't know what I would do if I lost him. To a senless race. I sighed. I told him how I felt about this race. But I understand why he was still going to do it anyway. His buddy did need help.

Should I try one more time to talk him out of it? I couldn't help but wonder and worry. He was going on a race track called Devils Turn?! I had to try maybe he would listen!

I would beat myself up over it if I didn't end up talking to him. Now was my only chance. He comes downstairs to join me for lunch. I made us some club sandwiches. I got him a soda and Doritos out to.

I sat there thinking on how to word this just right so he could see how much it truly worried me. I loved my Jimmy. He loved me. He meant the world to me.

♥☆♥

"What's going on in that pretty little head of yours?" Jimmy questions me as he takes a sip of his cola that he had in front of him.

"Look I understand why you are doing this. But it really worries me. Can you find someone else to help your friend? Devils Turn sounds so dangerous" I admit to him.

"Honey, you have nothing to worry about. Devils Turn is so fast it will be over in the blink of an eye! And my friend will have his car as well as his pride back. Plus, after this I promise you no more races" James reminds me as he places a hand on top of mine there as it rested on the table.

I could not get him to change his mind. It was impossible. The next day was the race. He has asked me to go and watch him. But I could not do it. I kissed him goodbye at the door then he was on his way.

I was up late tossing and turning. Worrying about Jimmy. He had told me what time he was supposed to be home. I glance at my Felix the cat clock on my wall. It was past time for him to be home.

Then the rain began to pour down. I hear lighting strike causing me to jump in bed and clutch my covers to my chest. I sigh. It was going to be a long night. He was now an hour late to be getting home.

I hoped he was out celebrating with his buddy. Maybe. That could be it! I try to shake off the worried feeling that was in my bones.

Just then the doorbell rings. Who was here in the middle of the night?! It could not be good news coming at my house at this hour of the night.

I rush down the stairs hoping maybe it was a friend telling me everything was ok. I knew otherwise. I peek in the door peep hole. There stands Jimmy's friend Terrance.

I open the door so he could get out of the rain. Where is Jimmy? Did he win your car back!?" I demanded to know as I hand him a towel to dry himself off with.

♥☆♥

"Jimmy, won my car back. He was so fantastic and fast. But they cheated. They hit his car as he finished. There was an accident" rambled on a very upset distraught Terrance.

"Where is he? Why is he not home?! Where is Jimmy? Where is he Terrance?" I exclaimed with tears in my eyes and worry exploded in me.

"Jimmy, is in the hospital. They are not sure if he will pull through the night" Terrance tells me. "The other driver died tonight"

"Oh my god...."

"I came to take you to Jimmy he needs you" he faces me with worry on his face.

Tears come to me. I lean on the table hardly able to process these words. Jimmy was near the brink of death.

"I begged him! I begged him not to do this! But he did for you! For you! I had a bad feeling. He should've listened to me. Now I might lose him! I can't lose him! I can't!" I sobbed. Terrance holds me, to comfort me as I sobbed in his arms.

"Get it together! We have to be strong for Jimmy! We have to be there for him to pull through this! And he will! He will get through this!" Terrance promised me sternly.

I dry my eyes then stand back up. "You are right! Let's go right now to Jimmy" I demand.

I grab my purse and my house keys. Then I rush out the door with Terrance. It was still raining hard causing me to nearly slide on my butt in my shoes. But Terrance helped me then he opened the car door for me. I get in not caring if the rain pelted down on me.

Then Terrance gets in the drivers seat and we sped off to the hospital. Terrance could not see Jimmy due to it being a whites only hospital. That's why he had to know how his friend was doing. He dropped me off in front of the hospital.

I lied then said I was Jimmy's family. When I knew James told me he was estranged from his real family. We were each others only family. I am lead by a nurse to go see James.

"You are his girl right? Saw you in the papers. You are lucky to be at his side. He's a fighter. We are all praying he pulls through this" the nurse asks me.

I nodded feeling numb. "Yes, yes I am she. I am very lucky" I agree. She leads me into his private room. Where he laid resting in his bed.

Tears come to me to see him so helpless. I join his side. The heart monitor beeps steadily. I take his hand into my hand.
