Chapter 12

Justin's POV

I grabbed a water bottle and came back to the pool but I didn't see Crystal anywhere. I walked all around the pool calling her name until I saw something red in the water, it looked like blood. I looked closer and I saw a body.

"No, no, no. Shit" I jumped in the water and swam all the way down and pulled her close to me and swam back to the surface. I laid her down and felt her pulses. Shit she wasn't breathing. I pumped her chest a bit trying to get water out and I tried giving her mouth to mouth. It wasn't working, shit. I called 911 and an ambulance came in less than 2 minutes.

They got her breathing again but they still took her to the hospital, she got too much water in her lungs.

I sat in the waiting room in the hospital praying she'd be okay. Why'd she do this. She can't leave me. I need her now. I.. I think I'm in love with her.

I was waiting for a couple hours as the doctors did their job. One of the doctors came out and i ran up to him.

"Is she okay?! What happened? Please tell me she's okay." I shooted at him

"By our knowledge, she was in the pool for about 5 minutes, that's a lot time without air. We're trying our best to get all of the water out of her lungs, but her body isn't physically strong. Our reports show a lack of food and blood, her wrists and thighs are really cut up and they look recent. Do you know anything about that?" 
I was shocked at what the doctor was saying to me. She cut again? I felt my heart breaking in two. I thought I was making her happy, why would she cut? 

"C-c-can I see her? Please?" My voice was shaky.

"Follow me." I walked behind him into the room where Crystal was.

She had tubes in her mouth probably helping her breath. I walked up to her. I was crying. I pulled up a seat to her and held her small cold hand. I looked at wrists. They were all cut up and red, so were her thighs. What made her do this?

"Hey babe. I don't know if you can hear me or not but I just want to say I hope you get better. I don't know why you did this, but I'm hoping for an explanation when you get better. I know we haven't known each other for long and I don't know what I'm feeling but I think I'm in lo...."

Her breathing got heavier, she held my hand tighter all the machines started beeping faster.

"Doctor! Hurry please!" I yelled scared out of my shit.

The doctor came rushing in with a couple of nurses.

"Doctor! What's happening?! Her grip on my hand got tighter and the machines started beeping faster! Is she gonna be okay?" I tried my best to hold my tears back.

"Sir we're gonna need you to wait outside." One of the nurses was pushing me out the door.

"Could you at least tell me what's happening?!" I stopped in the doorway and yelled so at least the doctor could hear me. He walked over towards me.

"It seems like she is regaining consciousness but because of the water in her lungs it's giving her trouble breathing. We're trying our best to see what we can do. Just pray." He patted my back escorting me out.

I went back to the hotel to get some clothes since I was still in my swim shorts. I also brought back some clothes for Crystal when she wakes up. I was driving back to the hospital, my thoughts invading my focus. I really hope she wakes up. This is all my fault, I should've never left. If I stayed she wouldn't have cut herself and she wouldn't have jumped. Did I do something? Did someone say something to her? I hope she wakes up, I need answers.
