Broken Dreams

Chapter 6

"She's not to be left alone.."

"She will do this again.."

"She needs a specialist.."

The doctors don't know I can hear them while I sleep.

******************

I slowly wake up, opening my eyes. I look around to see the room full again, but Dylan not at my side.

Jenn is in Dallas' arms on the couch, both asleep. Jake is in the chair asleep by the window. I hear Finn and Dylan arguing outside my room.

"She's not okay, Dylan." Finn says.

"She's going through a lot. She needs a doctor. She needs to get better." Dylan sighs.

"For who, really? Jenn, herself or you?."

Dylan goes silent.

"With you wanting her this much, no wonder why she keeps rejecting you and trying to kill herself." Finn snaps.

I try and get up but I'm in restraints. "Dylan.." I call softly.

He doesn't hear. I'm still weak.

"Dylan.." I call a little louder, and this time he hears. He walks in the room and to my side.

He holds my hand and smiles. "Hey beautiful."

"I'm sorry..." I gently squeeze his hand. "I'm sorry for everything..."

"Don't be. It's not your fault, Bailey. It's everyone else's for not helping." He gently rubs my hand.

Finn walks in. "And another thing."

"Not the time." Dylan says, not looking away from me.

Finn stands behind Dylan. "You're an ass."

Dylan quickly turns around, letting go of my hand. He swings his fist at Finn and hits him square in the jaw.

"And you're a drunk prick."

Everyone else wakes up. Jenn runs to my side.

"Bailey!" She starts crying. "I thought I lost you.." She hugs me.

"I'm sorry kiddo..." I take a deep breath, having a little trouble breathing.

"Mom came home." Jenn stand back up, looking down at me.

I smile softly. I missed mom. She tried her best to defend me from dad.

Finn throws a punch at Dylan, hitting him in the stomach. Dylan jumps on Finn and starts punching him repeatedly.

Jake runs over and pulls Dylan off. Dallas grabs Finn and pulls him to the other side of the room.

Jenn hasn't noticed. She's to focused on me.

"Dallas and I are going out now." She smiles brightly.

"Good. I'm glad you're happy kiddo.." It's getting harder to breath, but I act like nothing's wrong.

Dylan gets out of Jakes grip and charges at Finn.

"Make me a promise." Jenn says.

"What?"

"Live through this and watch over me. I want you to be the tough older sister and be protective of me going out with Dallas. Please Bailey."

I nod slightly. "I'll do my best. I'm sorry kid." I say. "I love you."

Jake grabs Dylan before he gets to Finn. Security rushes in and escorts Dylan out.

Dallas notices something wrong with me. He walk over and whispers in Jenn's ear. "Let's go get something to eat."

My vision instantly gets blurry. A doctor comes in and takes Finn out to get cleaned up. Jake follows.

"I want got stay here with Bailey.." Jenn pouts.

"Let's go sweetheart. I'll meet you in the hall." Dallas says. Jenn kisses his cheek and goes to the hall.

He looks at me concerned.

"Thanks.. Can you get.. A.. A doctor.. I can't breath.. I can't breath.." I'm barely able to speak. It's such a trouble to speak.

He nods and presses the call button for the doctor. "What changed?" He asks.

"I-I found in.. Inspiration.."

My eyes close and I stop breathing just as the doctors rush in.
