Chapter~12 'Sleeping Beauty'

Jessica's Point of View:

I just sat there, looking at my hopelessly fragile best friend. She looked so broken and pale. I tried staying strong for her, but the tears just keep falling like a waterfall. Everybody looked so depressed. In fact, everybody was crying. We all have not slept since yesterday, waiting for any sign that shows us that she is alive. However, all we got to see was Isabella lying on the bed, pale and unconcious. All the information we got was that she was breathing. But if she really is, why is she not she talking to us. Why hasn't she opened her eyes yet?

We were helpless. All we did was sit there, waiting and waiting.

The boys looked really sad, Niall and Harry had tears in their eyes, ready to fall down any second. The other boys also did, but tried to look away to show us that they're strong and we should be. Liam was always by Jessica's side, just like me. His eyes were red from the lack of sleep.

Delilah, Perrie, Eleanor and Margret had puffy eyes and bags under them. As for me, I can barely breathe. I am crying so much that I might also end up on that hospital bed, next to her.

Isabella is everything to me. She is the one that replaced the sister I never had. She is the one that I told every secret and trusted her with my whole life. After all of that, will she leave me? She cannot do that. She can't!

I should have never left her with Taylor. If she hadn't gone with her, she wouldn't have ended up in this horrible bed. The hospital bed that seems to take everyone's life whenever they lie on it.

I hate Taylor so much for pretending to teach my best friend how to swim. I hate myself for trusting Taylor, the one that bullied me my whole life for a dream I wanted to follow. She did that to Isabella and she's going to pay for it.

She's going to pay for it.

"Yes! You are going to pay for it!" I went over to her and grabbed her neck. Her eyes widened and I started squeezing and squeezing. Then, someone pulled me away from her. I started kicking my legs, demanding for the person to put me down so that I'd finish every bit of that selfish, ruthless person.

I wish I believed Isabella when she said that that horrible excuse of a human was planning for something evil. I must be a horrible person, a horrible best friend. How didn't I believe my own best friend? How could I? Taylor put me, us, into a horrible spell. And I just woke up from it.

"Put me down! I should make her pay for what she did to Izzy! She will pay for everything! Put me down!" I kept on kicking my legs.

Everyone was glaring at Taylor. Yet, she gave us a fake, innocent look.

Fake was all she was, all along. She kept on faking everything. That's exactly what Isabella told us, but we didn't believe her.

"Don't act innocent! You know what you did! I hate you! I hate you so much!" I continued.

After a minute of kicking my legs and shouting, a doctor came in and I immediately stopped. Niall put me down and we all listened carefully.

"Good afternoon," The doctor greeted. We all nodded in response.

"I came in to check on Miss Martin."

Just he saying her name made me want to break into tears.

And I did.

The doctor started fiddling with things that I didn't recognize because of my blurry, teary eyes, while Niall was drawing warm, comforting circles on my back.

After a while, the doctor stopped what he was doing and turned to face us.

"How's she now, doctor?" Liam asked and I looked up, waiting for an answer.

"Well, nothing improved since yesterday. She drank and somehow inhaled a lot of seawater, which caused most of it to take over her lungs. She is breathing steadily enough. However, if she didn't wake up tomorrow afternoon, that means it's confirmed that she's in a coma. I'm sorry."

This time, I broke into sobs.

No, she can't leave me like this! She can't leave me alone! She has to wake up!

"No! You have to wake up! Wake up! Now! Please!" I started shaking her, asking for response. Anything.

"Jess, you need some rest," Niall told me calmly.

"Leave her alone, she will wake up. You go get some rest and everything will be fine," Liam assured, sadly.

"No! I can't leave her alone! I can't leave her side!" I screamed and shouted but no one listened to me. In fact, they brought another hospital bed next to Izzy's so that I'd sleep next to her.

At least I'll be by her side, that's all that matters. I looked at the sleeping beauty next to me. She looked so peaceful, yet so pale.

I miss her smile, the one that always makes my day. I miss her beautiful hazel eyes. I miss her amazing voice that used to sing me to sleep whenever I was sad or worried. But being sad and worried is all what I am right now.

I kept on worrying and crying until I fell asleep.

Author's Note: Not a really happy chapter is it? :( I'm telling you, it was very hard writing this chapter. It is very sad. But Let's hope she wakes up before afternoon! :D
