A World Without You

Chapter 2

Jakes POV

I was walking to lunch after history class when I over heard Evan talking to some guy from football team, they were saying something about beating something and some shit that I really couldn't hear because they kept laughing. I really didn't care though maybe I would of if I was still friends with Evan. We used to be close at the beginning of high school but then he changed, he starting to play girls and use them for sex, he would beat random kids up for no reason and I hated it. So I kind of just left his friend group. I think I did what was best for me least. And I'm still popular, I get girl I just don't use them for sex.

I walked passed them towards the cafeteria to get my lunch and then sat with the rest of my friends.

lunch passed quickly and it was already time for chemistry, the chem lab was all the way on the other side of the school so I always went through the football field to get there faster, and I like the fresh air after lunch. I made way was through the crowds of people to the school doors and made my way out side when I heard faint screams and cry's. I looked around to see if anyone was around until I saw Evan and the kid he was talking to before lunch crowded around something. After about thirty seconds they both started walking away laughing. I went up to see what they were crowded around. When I got there my heart stopped, it was a girl she was covered in blood. I couldn't tell who it was as her face was hidden by her hair, she was definitely unconscious but she was barley breathing. I didn't know what to do, so I took out my phone and called an ambulance. I really didn't know what else to do she looked like if she didn't get help soon she would of died.

By the time the ambulance got here almost the whole school was outside. I look back to see who was all here. I saw Evan and his friend there, Evan appeared to be smirking at the girl being placed on to the stretcher. His friend whispered something so softly that I only just heard it

"Maybe we went to far Evan.." he said with guilt and concern in his eyes. So Evan and his friend did this to her. I couldn't believe it. My fists clenched to my sides as I looked over at them.

Everyone was whispers things about the scene in front of them.

"Was that Lucy Rose?"

"That slut deserved it"

"finally someone put her in her place"

"Did they kill her?"

So her name was Lucy, I only knew of Lucy because everyone seemed to hate her. I don't even know why and Evan seems to hate her the most out of everyone but I don't understand why he would beat her until she was nearly dead.

I went to the hospital to see if she was okay. I mean I found her I should make sure she was okay. And I was actually really worried about her.

I have only been waiting here about half an hour when a doctor come out.

"Excuse me are you family of the patient Lucy rose?" he asked me

"Uh no. I'm not related to her but I found her injured I really just wont to know if she's okay."

"I guess I can tell considering the circumstances anyways, she has 2 broken ribs the rest are bruised pretty bad. She was taken to surgery for some internal bleeding in the chest but is now in recovering. Other then that she just has some severe bruising and a few scrapes and cuts but she will be okay." he said with a sad expression.

"May I go see her?" I ask, I was so glad she was okay but I was still worried she must be in so much pain.

"Oh yes, of course. she in room 343 on floor 3." he said with a weak smile.

I said thank you to him a bunch of times and made my way up to the third floor to find her room. once I got to her door I hesitated. I've never talked to her before I mean I see her scurry around the halls but nothing really more we have no classes together.

Once I got the courage to go inside I did, but Lucy was sleeping. I debated if I should stay and wait for her to wake up if I should just wait and come back later. I though it would be a good idea if I just let her sleep she had already been through so much and it was only 2pm. I was about to leave when I heard a voice.

"W-who are you?" a girls voice asked. I whipped my head around and smiled at her. I looked at her and my smile faded. her face was full of cuts and bruises. It was heart breaking to see her in so much pain.

"Uh I'm Jake, I found you unconscious on the football field on my way to class after lunch..." I said awkwardly.

"Oh right, that would explain why I'm in a hospital and um thank you." she was shy I could tell she was watching what she said as if she was afraid she would say the wrong thing.

"Its no problem really, I'm glad I got your safe."I smiled at her, she seems so innocent and afraid I don't understand why people are hurting her and making her like a living hell.

--------

As it got later we mostly talked but she didn't say to much, I understood though. she was in so much pain and was probably tired so I though it would be best for me to leave. I told her I would come back tomorrow she didn't seem to mind to much about that. I said goodnight and started to make my way home.
