Geek Girl- Becoming the Bad Girl

Chapter 27

The car journey to the hospital felt like forever. I felt dizzy and sick!
"We will ask the Johnson family whether they wish to take you to court and will discuss what sentence you will be given! Okay?"
"Okay..." I mumbled.
I didn't care about anything at that point. I just needed to get to the hospital. As the sirens on the police car wailed I wanted to do the same, wail and cry and scream.

"What room is Natalie Johnson in?" I asked the receptionist.
"I'm afraid visiting times are over." The receptionist said. She then saw the police officer. "Room 13 floor 4."
I had never ran so fast in my life. My heart was racing as fast as me.
I ran up the stairs instead of the escalator because I didn't want to wait and counted all the room numbers until I got to room 13.
I was trying not to be superstitious about the number 13! 13 the unlucky number! What could it mean?
I opened the door to Nat's room and stared at the pale, bloody body sleeping in the bed. I tiptoed over to her, tears brimming in my eyes as she looked lifeless. I held her hand and looked at her beautiful face. I swept a lock of hair out of her face. I put my head in my hands and cried. I didn't just cry, I bawled and howled.
"M-Moon-a?" I heard her whisper.
"Mat I'm so sorry! I will never forgive myself! I can't believe I done this! This is all my fault!" I wailed. She held my hand and put a small smile on her face.
"It's no ones fault apart from mine! Yes, you done this..." she explained, gesturing to her injuries, "but I left you all the time for Alexa, and I shouldn't of! I never understood that it hurt you! I never under why you done this, how bad you wanted this. And I'm sorry I almost gave it up. Because I was jealous! There! I was!" She cried. "And I guess I lost my best friend because of it!"
"You will never lose your me, best friend! I will be here for forever and a day..." I smiled, tears still streaming down my face.
"But this has got to stop! I can't keep getting beaten up! But it was my fault!"
"It will! It won't happen ever ever ever again! I promise you!" I promised.
I hugged her tightly as we cried into each other's arms....
