Love At First Sight

Chapter 59

The next day...

Demi's POV

I woke up the next day to see Justin frantically pacing up and down the room with his phone in his hand on loudspeaker. I sat up in bed listening to every word.

"This can't be happening. No! No! You're lying to me right?!" Justin demanded into his phone.

What was Justin talking about? What's happening?

"No, this is not a joke. This is very serious, I think it would be best for you to come straight to the hospital right now Mr. Bieber," the man on the other end of the line said staying calm. The man on the other line turned out to be a police man.

Justin made a gesture for me to get out of bed.

"Which hospital? I'm already getting ready now. Where am I going? Is he okay?" Justin asked in a frenzy, hopping around trying to put his jogging bottoms on.

Wait, hospital?! Oh my gosh can someone tell me what is going on?

"Stay calm sir. I can't say anything until you get to the hospital. St. Andrews hospital right off the highway exit." and with that the police man hung up.

"Demi, you HAVE to get up and get dressed, something terrible's happened."

I waste no time in putting on something quick not worrying about hair or makeup, I only brushed my teeth and grabbed the nearest pair of shoes. I didn't even get a chance to eat. Justin was about to leave, he almost forget his car keys.

"J, wait! Your car keys! You left them upstairs!" I reminded him. He stopped in his place and turned to me slowly.

"Yeah about that...." he said hesitating scratching his head. "I'm just gonna text Sel some details and tell her to pick us up." he mumbled it thinking I couldn't hear but I heard him. Why's he going to text Selena when he has his car?

I stepped closer to him. "Details? What details, baby? Why are you going to call Sel, when we have our c-"

"No...Dems. No, please just listen to me. I'll explain it to you when she gets here." he interrupted me while tapping away on his iPhone.

Justin's POV

5 minutes later, I heard Selena's car pull up in the driveway and I could hear the paps gathering outside. I could care less right now. I grabbed Demi's arm, slammed the door and jumped into Selena's car. The stupid paparazzi wouldn't move out the way and Selena kept beeping the horn for them to move themselves. Eventually they got it into their heads that they should move and went away, and I started to explain the situation to Demi as Selena veered past other cars, going miles above the speed limit, not taking any time to even stop at a traffic light, we just needed to get to the hospital. The paps were just tailgating us but we managed to lose them as we got closer to the hospital. We all got the car and I literally flew through the hospital doors yelling my son's name at the top of my lungs. I didn't care how crazy I looked or seemed.

"Joseph! Joseph! Where is Joseph?!" I asked every desk I passed by, Demi and Selena not far behind me.

"Room 309." a young lady replied from the front desk.

"Thank you so much!" I said rushing down the hallway.

"307..." Demi murmured.

"308..." Selena murmured.

"309!" I shouted out. I flung the door open to see him lying peacefully on the bed.

"Mr and Mrs Bieber and....Miss Gomez?" a doctor asked entering the room.

"That's us!" we all turned to face the doctor, ready for news.

"I have news on your son, Joseph, Mr and Mrs Bieber." All our eyes widened waiting. The doctor tapped his clipboard.

"Well it seems that your son had been drinking-"

"Drinking?!" Demi and I said at the same time in utter shock.

"Yes, and from the police reports it was said how your older daughter, Delilah was leaving a late night party with your son and had also been driving a metallic light blue ferrari under the influence of alcohol and your son was in the passenger seat. Your car was quite badly damaged so unfortunately it will have to be towed away and destroyed and a new car will have to be bought. Your daughter was wearing her seatbelt so she was fine. She's been retained by the police. Your son on the other hand wasn't fine at all. He didn't wear his seatbelt. They hit a much larger oncoming vehicle and Joseph got the full effect. Joseph blacked out and wasn't responding to anything that the paramedics were doing for him because of the blow to his head and all the cuts and bruises due to the heavy impact. Also when the paramedics arrived on the scene, they said when they got to him he lost a lot of blood so there could be a chance he wouldn't make it when he arrived at the hospital."

I actually couldn't believe what I was hearing. What the hell....my son could die.

"Oh my gosh..." Selena quietly said wide eyed, I saw tears streaming down her face and her hands were shaking so bad.

"And also Mr and Mrs Bieber?"

"Yes...Doctor?" Demi replied, looking up, her voice quivering.

"I'm afraid your son has slipped into a coma. This has become very serious and we are doing everything we possibly can to help him. He's currently on life support and he might be slightly disorientated due to the anathestics we have administered to him. But you never know, he could wake up any time now. You can see him now if you want to."

It was really that bad? I did NOT see that coming.

"Thank you Doctor." we all said shaking his hand.  

The doctor nodded and left the room.

We moved closer to Joseph. Every beat in my chest was a nervous one, as I watched him on life support. All I could hear was machines beeping around us. This damn car crash had made everything so complicated. Delilah just never listens to anyone and always tries to beat around the bush. She always wants to do what she wants whenever she wants. This was the consequence. We talk to her about how she should take people's advice all the time, whether it be mine, Demi's or even Selena's but it's like talking to a brick wall, I swear it goes in one ear and straight out the other, and my patience has worn out with her and Demi's just tired of repeating herself to her. I don't even know how to feel right now. I just feel completely numb.

"I'm so...SO sorry you had to go through this, son. Nobody as perfect as you should ever have to go through this much pain...and trauma. I wish I was there. I wish....I wish I could've stopped you two. I wish I could've been there to help you. But...I wasn't. I'm so sorry Jos-," I've never heard Demi gasp so loud. She couldn't even finish her sentence. She was basically hysterical. Her entire body was trembling, she kept crying and looked down at the ground. Tears slipped down her face, quickly brushed away by her fierce hand. Selena rubbed her back in comfort, wiping her tears also and tell her everything was alright.

"He's gonna be fine, he's gonna be just fine, he will pull through this..." I ordered myself.

Either that or I'm gonna lose my baby boy and I wouldn't know how to deal with that. I wouldn't how Demi would cope with losing her little prince or with Delilah losing her younger brother, or Selena losing one of her close friends. It's gonna be tough but we all have to stay strong for Joseph right now. It's going to be okay. I hope.

Any comments? :(
