CHAPTER NINE

*Jessie’s PoV*

991 came and they took us to the hospital, me and Max. I was crying the whole time, I don’t remember anything of it to be honest. As they ran into the hospital I started to realize what has happened. I had lost her. I had lost my Max. I knew they couldn’t save her, she was already dead, wasn’t she? I didn’t have any hope left. I just sat in the waiting room, crying my eyes out, waiting for someone to come and get me. I decided to tell George what has happened as well as my parents and Holly. Half an hour later a stressed looking George entered the waiting room. ‘She got shot? She got SHOT?’ He asked confused. I just nodded and felt the tears stream down my face. ‘It’s all my fault, my fault,’ I said defeated. ‘Is she… I-is she… Is she g-gone?’ He asked shocked. I looked into his eyes before shrugging my shoulder. ‘I don’t know,’ I said and my voice broke. I felt more tears stream down my face. Your fault, the voice in my head kept saying, your fault. George sat down beside me and buried his face in his hands. I knew he was crying to. My phone bleeped saying I got a text from Holly, saying just four words: ‘I’m on my way.’ I read the text and just cried, I just cried. I couldn’t do anything else. Holly entered the waiting room and she ran over to me, wrapping her arms around me. 'Shhh, babe. Max will be okay, right?' she said soothingly. ‘No, she won’t, Holly. She got shot. She got shot and it’s my fault. MY FAULT,’ I said, I was in hysterics by now. Holly looked a bit taken back by what I just said but she continued to rub my back soothingly. We all sat in silence, well, Holly did, and me and George just cried, until a doctor entered the waiting room. ‘Cornish, Jessica?’ He called and Holly helped me getting up and we walked over to the doctor. ‘Y-yes?’ I asked. The doctor introduced himself and we walked into another room with a table and some chairs. We all sat down and the doctor spoke. ‘I’m relieved to tell you that Max has made it; she’s still alive, but barely. She’s in coma. She can die any moment,’ he said. ‘Can-can I please see her?’ I choked out and the doctor nodded. He walked with me into the hospital room and there she was, laying down, still looking beautiful as ever. I heard a steady beeping coming from a machine. The doctor left and I sat down on a chair next to her and took hold of her hand. ‘My dear Max, I know you’re in coma, and I also know you can hear me. I just wanted to let you know I’m sorry, I really am… I wish you didn’t take that bullet. I wish she never showed up. But life goes as it goes and now I’m here sitting next to you, and I'm going to tell you exactly how I feel about you, just so you know. I never expected to fall in love with someone so early and so easily, you’re just very lovable, I guess,’ I said laughing and crying at the same time, I whipped my eyes before I continued, ‘But our time was too short. I haven’t properly got to know you, and I wish from the bottom of my heart I had. Our story finished to early, and I can’t finish it alone. What is Snow White without Prince Charming? Edward without Bella? Me without you? Without you I’m nothing. You made me feel like myself again, something someone hadn’t done in a while. With you I could be the best me and you the best you. I love you, Max, please stay. I don’t want to live without you. I can’t live without you. I won’t live without you. Stay.’ Just as I finished, the beeping stopped. ‘No, no, NO!’ I yelled and stood up aggressively. I took hold of her shoulders and shook her. ‘You’re going to stay alive, you hear me? You are going to make it. We are going to get through this, okay? OKAY!?’ I yelled, but she didn’t reply. I slid down against a wall, crying. Nurses entered the room, but I didn’t pay attention to them. ‘Clear!’ I heard vaguely in the background. I cried and cried until someone shook me. ‘I’m sorry,’ a nurse whispered. I sat down in the chair again and placed a kiss on her forehead. ‘Goodbye, my dear,’ I whispered and a tear rolled down my cheek. I walked out of the room and turned one last time in the doorway. ‘I love you,’ I said and turned back around again. I suddenly heard a sound. Not just a sound, the sound of hope.

The sound of a steady, bleeping tone. I turned around to face the room once again and there she was, laying on the bed with a painful smile on her face. ‘I love you too.’
