One Less Lonely Girl

Talking To God

***JUSTIN'S POINT OF VIEW***

I stood behind with the boys. We couldn't go with her. I watched the ambulance drive away with MY girl. Emotions overcame me and I fell to my knees in prayer.

Za and Fredo joined with hands on my shoulders. We were all to the point of crying when the officer approached us.

"Mr. Bieber?" This is the man that pulled me off of Marcus. "Yes officer?" "I just wanted to inform you that we're letting you go, charge free. The doctors had evidence that Ms. Mclawhorn was about to be raped. Luckily she was never penetrated. You actually helped us. We had been looking for Marcus for a while. You got him still to where we could get him in our possession.

I'm just glad I got you off of him when I did. He was rather close to being put to his death. Thank you, and good luck with the rest of the tour son." Very little relief was lifted off of me. I still needed to be at that hospital.

"Justin?" A female voice came up behind the three of us. "Please not now!" "No! I'm not here as a fan. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge one, but I'm or I was Aubrey's best friend." "Really?" She nodded her head and I reached out my hand. "What's your name?" "Rachael."

"Did you guys need a lift to the hospital?" "YES, please?!" She smiled and guided us back to her car.

It seemed like we didn't get to the hospital for hours. Aubrey was already in surgery when we arrived and we were guided to the waiting area.

In just moments my sidekicks were passed out leaving me and Rachael. "So, uh, how long have you known Madison?" "Ever since second grade. We've been best friends ever since. Marcus was my ex before she started dating him so we fell off. I really haven't talked to her in 5 years.

I saw all the stuff of you two and I was so happy for her, then I heard she was back home and then... This was the next I heard." I cleared my throat, "it's already on the news?" She shyly nodded.

"Shocker..." I sighed and she placed her hand on my back. "Thanks for bringing us." "No problem. Everything got silent and I soon drifted into a slumber.

"Mr. Bieber?" I blinked my eyes to clear my vision and sat up. "Yes sir?" "The surgery went fine-" "Oh thank God!!!" "You didn't let me finish." My happy expression left with the next few words. "The surgery went fine, shes in a room now. 205 East but she fell into a coma... Her anxiety and panic got ahead of her nerves. I'm sorry."

I was numb and my body started burning. "NO!" My feet were on the way to her room before my mind was. I was running to fight the tears. 203, 204...205.

My body came to an abrupt stop. I debated on whether or not I should open this door. I had to.

There she laid, unconscious. She looked pale and flushed out. She didn't look like the Aubrey that I knew. She... She looked dead. 

 I walked to her side trying to control my heaving chest. I grabbed her hand which felt more fragile than before. Her vanes were popping out and her skin was covered with chill bumps. I found myself back on my knees.

"God, you can't do this. You can't take her. Not now. I can't fail her. I have to be the one to protect her! I let her go once and it's not going to happen again! She completes something inside of me. I've never been this protective... She does something to me. Grant me one more chance. I promise I wont fail either of you this time..."

I struggled more than ever to get these words out of my mouth. Tears came out like a river.

After a few moments, I regained my strength and stood to my feet. I kissed her hand up to her still bruised neck. I brushed her hair back and kissed her hairline. I let go of her hand, wiped my tears and turned around. Za, Fredo, and Rachael stood at the door and before I knew it, I was crying again.

The trio rushed towards me and circled around me. They held me as I held my face in the palm of my hands.

A doctor poked around the corner and informed us that we had to leave the room.

We said our good-byes to Aubrey and all kissed her numb body. It was harder than ever to leave that room. I just wanted to hold her and be there for her.  

 We stood outside, silent. "Justin, you want to cancel the show later?" Honestly...I do. But it just hurts everyone too much. "No. Aubrey wouldn't allow me to do that!" I saw the expression on everyones face light up.

"Well we should get going," Za exclaimed. I sighed and nodded my head.

"Thank you so much, Rachael." I pulled her in tight for a hug and I really didn't want to let go. "Anything, anytime, Justin." She smiled and walked to her car. "Have a good night." My male trio said after her.

I looked up at the building and reminded myself that Aubrey was in there. I started to dream about to talking her. Holding her. Kissing her.

Before I knew it I was in yet another taxi on this horrific night. I was glaring at the building, watching it grow smaller as we drove away. Another tear slipped out of my eye.
