Hopeless - The sequel to Breathless. A Janoskians fanfic.

31. "Go Skip, she needs you."

Skips POV _

James and Veronica left the flat, "the metal door, Skip!" Veronica yelled as she left and I heard a scream. The blood drained from my face and I felt my heart shatter into thousands of pieces, I'd heard that scream before, it was Isla, my Isla. "Skip, go!" Luke shouted as him and Beau fought off Jasper and Noah, jasper was slumped across the floor and Tabby pulled at my arm. "You're making a huge mistake Danny, she's not worth it!" she snarled angrily, "why do you want her when you could have me?" she begged, tears forming in her eyes. Tabby was desperate and pathetic, every inch of her was filled with venom, a disgusting poison which she used against everyone that got in her way. "look at yourself Tabby, why would anyone subject themselves to your desperation? Nothing about you is anything less than evil, you're a poisonous bitch! Get off me?!" I pulled my arm free from her grip and she fell to the floor in tears, "I'm sorry Danny." she cried, "I just wanted to feel something." she continued, but I didn't have time to listen to her grovelling.

I saw the metal door at the back of the flat slam shut, Benji was already in there, I'd need back up, and quickly. "Beau, Luke!" I yelled and soon Luke appeared beside me, "Beau's still dealing with Noah." Luke mumbled and stayed close behind me as I walked towards the door. I was terrified of what I might see and as I opened the door, all my nightmares merged into one. Isla lay barely conscious on the floor, her head was cut and blood trickled along the floor, Benji slumped himself on top of her precious body, thrusting himself inside her. Her beautiful, blue eyes flickered towards me several times, before slowly closing fully. Luke leapt forwards and the two of us pinned Benji to the floor beside Islas lifeless body, we each lay our fists into his face, chest and ribs as he groaned in pain. The cuts on my knuckles split open, adding more red liquid to the blood bath, "Get Isla!" Luke yelled, "I'm right behind you buddy!" Luke helped me lift Isla up off the floor, i cradled her in my arms and carried her from the room.

Luke ran upfront and opened the front door of the flat, Tabby and the two other girls had disappeared and the flat was quiet, I tilted slightly to get Isla's body through the door and was stopped by two police officers. "we're looking for Benjamin Cooper." one of them said flashing his police badge and I directed him to the metal door. "There's an ambulance outside, get yourselves out quickly." the other one said, Luke and I ran down the steps and exited the block doors. Sierra ran over and wrapped her body around Luke's "I'm so glad you're okay!" she cried, "After what happened to Beau I thought you'd be the same." she continued. I looked around for Beau, but he wasn't there, Shay was in a crumpled heap on the floor, crying into Veronica's lap, "What happened to Beau?!" I asked as a paramedic rushed over to take Isla. "he's pretty bad, Jai has gone with him to the hospital." James replied. Because of me my best friend and the girl I loved were in hospital, "Tabby called the police." James continued, "Noah, Jasper and Tabby have all been arrested for GBH and several drug related offences." he finished.

The doors to the apartment building swing open and the two police officers appeared with a struggling Benji. His face wasn't as damaged as I'd imagined and hoped it would be, I took most of the hits and I was fairly sure my nose was broken. "I'll fucking kill you Skip" he said as the police restrained him, "and that stupid whore of yours!" he yelled before being lowered into the police car. One of the officers walked over to us, "are you all going to the hospital?" she asked, we all nodded our heads and she finished, "an officer will be over there to take statement from all of you involved, but I can assure you Benjamin Cooper, Noah Redknapp, Jasper Vine and Tabatha Craig will not be bothering you again." she walked back to the car and the paramedics called me to the Ambulance. "Are you accompanying Miss Rhodes to the hospital?" he asked, I looked over to the others, and saw the carnage I'd created. "Go Skip, she needs you." Luke said, still hugging Sierra, his face was cut up slightly, but he'd been there for me through everything, I couldn't ask for better friends than mine.

'I'm sorry' I mouthed to Luke as the doors closed and left myself, Isla and a paramedic in the back of the van. I gripped onto Isla's hand and tears poured down my face, "is she going to be okay?" I asked, not sure if whether I wanted to know the answer. "she needs her stomach pumping from an overdose of pills, and a few stitches on her head, but after that she will be just fine." I sighed with relief that she would recover, she'd only been out of hospital, after nearly dying, a few weeks and she was already back. I couldn't help but blame myself for everything that had happened to Isla since moving to Australia, I shouldn't have made her like this, she needed to be happy. The same thoughts rushed through my head as the first time, I needed to walk away and leave her alone, she was safer without me. I soon realised it was me walking away that had got her into this position, she wasn't safe with me and she wasn't safe without me. I vowed to myself that I wouldn't give up on her again, even if she didn't need me, I still needed her.

The siren of the Ambulance drilled into my head, I couldn't cope with the noise, it was driving me insane. My thoughts turned to Beau, "What about Beau?" I asked the paramedic, he looked confused, "Mr.Brooks?" I asked again, but he was clueless. He shook his head, "I'm sorry, I don't know any information about the other people involved." he said, his voice full of sorrow. I shouldn't have put Beau in that situation, or Luke for that matter, what kind of friend was I? What happened to the days of sitting in a park bench answering questions? What happened to walking around Melbourne central pegging strangers? What happened to drinking coloured milk and making ourselves sick? I missed the Janoskians, I missed what we could have become. The ambulance stopped abruptly and the doors swung open, three paramedics helped lift Isla's bed out of the van and began wheeling her into the hospital. "Excuse me sir, but you'll have to wait here, immediate family only after this point." a male nurse said, as he pushed her towards a set of double doors in a long, quiet corridor. "she doesn't have any family!" I cried, hoping he'd change his mind and let me stay with her, "I'm sorry sir." he replied and I watched as Isla was wheeled away from me.
