Chapter 22

*Erika's POV*

I woke up the next morning, realizing Zach wasn't around.

I sat up on the chair and tied my hair up while looking around the room.

I suddenly remembered about yesterday. Jack was sent to the hospital and no one had visited him since last night.

I felt guilt after what had happened so I went upstairs to pack my jacket along with a water bottle.

I looked around my room and grabbed my phone and slide them on my jeans back pocket.

I went out of the house and locked it. I walked over to Jack's house to tell Jack's mom what had happened last night.

As I wait patiently on the pavement for her to open the door, I took out my phone and checked my messages.

She finally opens the door and looked at me in a very serious way.

"Erika..how can I help you?" She leans over the door frame.

"You can't help me but you can help Jack" I stopped as I felt the vibration on my pocket. "Excuse me for a minute"

I took out the phone starred at the unknown number and answered the call. "Hello?"

"Erika?" The voice said.

"Who's this?"

"Its Connor... Meet me at the hospital, we need to talk!" He ended the call.

Oh no..Connor knew about Jack and that could mean.... Camilla and Jane also knows.

"Get dressed hurry! We need to go to the hospital!" I looked back at Jack's mum.

She drove us there and we went running down the hallway. When we reached the reception we asked for Jack's room number and she gave us the direction.

We continued running and when I turned around the corner, I bumped onto Harry.

"Harry? What are you doing here?" I asked rubbing my forehead.

"I'm visiting Jack" he pointed to the room just 6 foot away from where I was standing.

Jack's mum run into the room and disappeared inside. I looked at Harry and cried a tear or two.

"Hey, hey...he's ok" he patted my back. We walked inside the room and I got everyone's eyes looking at me.

I looked at Jack and then at Connor. Connor grabbed my wrist and brought me outside.Camilla, Jane and Harry came with. "Mind explaining?" Connor asked.

"Guys..I'm really sorry. I..i" I stuttered.

"Tell us babe" Jane grabbed my hand and smiled.

"He got hit by a door..but it wasn't my fault..." I stopped.

"Then who's is it? Harry asked.

Camilla looked at me from top to bottom familiarized herself with what I was wearing. "That!!!" She pointed to my sweatshirt.

Harry continued her sentence "It belongs to.."

"Me" a familiar voice coming from around the corner. As he walked over the corner revealing himself.

"Zachary Jonathan? The Zachary Jonathan!?" Jane said in disbelieved.

"What...the...hell?" Connor looked at me raising his eyebrows.

"Look guys...its a lot to take in." I tried explaining.

"We haven't talked for days...I think it's time we should." Camilla said.
