Colorful raindrops

Chapter 5

*nat's POV*
She was hurt. I could tell she was alone. I also noticed the many scars that made a home on her arms as we drove home. She was in pain. I needed to help her. I pulled up to her house and she gave me a quick nod. I don't think I'd ever see her again. That's when I got the idea, I gave her my number. I'd love to get to know her. I mean this is the non creepiest way ever, but I can see us being something someday. I smiled at the thought as I drove off into the busy streets of New York.

"ALEX! ARE YOU HERE?!" I yelled.
No reply.
"ALEX???!"
Nothing
I decided to search the house for him.
"Alex.." I gasped
Alex was laying on the bathroom floor with an empty pill bottle in his left hand and a blade in his right. He was laying in a pool of his own blood.
"ALEX WAKE UP!!!! PLEASE. I can't live without you. I love you Alex. Please wake up..." I begged.
I called an ambulance and they ran in with a stretcher.
"Jen please call me soon. I need someone.." I thought.

*Jens POV*
I wake up to the sound of what seems like a million sirens in the distance. It's 6 in the morning. What's going on?... I know it's dumb of me but deep inside I can sense that something must be wrong with Nat. I don't know why but I just know. Should I call him? Probably. I go downstairs to grab my phone and then I remember that I put my jeans in the washer last night and the tiny piece of paper was still in the back pocket.
"No no no no no" Is all I think as I'm running to the washer. No. The piece of paper was ripped up. The only number I see is a 4. That's not good enough. I don't know why but I start to cry hysterically. I'm never going to see him again.. There must be a way. There's always a way..
"The coffee shop!!" I think.
Nat said he worked at that coffee shop. It wasn't too far from my apartment. I have to go. I quickly throw on a pair of leggings and my 'okay? I'm not o-fucking kay' jumper. I lace up my beaten down black converse, throw my hair up in my signature bun, and I put on some winged eyeliner not even caring if they're even. I wait outside and wave for a taxi.

(10 minutes later)

I arrive at the coffee shop and run in probably causing a scene, oh well. I always cause scenes. I run up to the front counter.
"Where's Nat?!" I demand.
The worker just looks at me and then says, "Nat called in sick today."
Fuck.
"What's his address?" I demand once again.
"Miss, I'm sorry I can't give you his personal information." She calmly says.
I tell her everything from the night before. She gives me her address after what's seems like years of begging.
"123 E 26th street." She says
"Thank you." I say as I dramatically leave the cafe.

***

There's like 6 cop cars pulling away from his street. Weird. I get to his house and what I see is heartbreaking. Nat is sitting all alone with his head in his hands. He looks like he's been crying..
"Nat.." I whisper.
His head shoots up and I see a weak smile

*nats POV*

The police wouldn't let me in the ambulance. He was in critical care. I just sit on the porch with my head in my hands and cry.
"Nat.." I hear a women's voice whisper.
I see Jen. I give her a small smile and then I run up and bury my head in her chest (Ew not like that. Pervs.) I just stay like that for what seems like hours. But in reality it was only a few minutes. I pull away and look at her beautiful blue eyes. And then I think, wait how did she know where I was.. At that moment I didn't care.

*Jen's POV*

After Nat pulled away, he looked confused. But then he told me everything. I didn't even know he had a brother. But I do know what it's like to suddenly lose your sibling in some way. It hurts. We had to get to the hospital.
"Nat, I know you're exhausted. And I know you're wondering how I got here and why, but we need to get to the hospital alright?" I said
"okay.." He agreed.
I explained everything in the car. How I got there, why, and how. He finally calmed down as we pulled into the hospital.
"Okay Nat. We're here. Let's go" I said.
We ran into the hospital.
"WHERE'S MY BROTHER? ALEX!!" Nat screamed.
I hugged him hard and told him to wait. I walked up to the front desk and calmly asked for Alex.
"Hi, we're here to see Alex Wolff." I politely said.
"He's currently in the ICU. Only family can see him. Are you family?" She asks
"Yes. I'm his sister. And him over there is my brother." I lied
"Okay. He's on the 4th floor room number 103." She says
"Thank you." I say.
"Nat, we can go see Alex but we have to wear the gowns. He's in the ICU." I say
"Okay.." He nervously says.
"Let's go." I say.
As we reach the room we're quickly rushed out. I hear Alex's line go flat..
"Guys, you need to leave. Wait in the waiting room. We'll do everything we can." A nurse reassures.
"NO THATS MY LITTLE BROTHER IN THERE!!" Nat screams
"Nat calm down. Come on." I say as I struggle to lead him to the waiting room.
Now comes the waiting game.

Wow this was a long chapter. Anyway, I'm so sorry that this happened to Alex AHH don't kill me. Stay tuned to see if Alex is okay..
