Behind The Lies

Chapter 24- The Complications

>>>Recap: Chloe gets upset at Jake, runs away and hits her head hard, falling unconscious. Jake rushes her to the infirmary.<<<

Jake's Pov:

"Jake..."

My heart sinks, the look on Nurse Annie's face doesn't seem right.

"Yes? Is something wrong? Is she alright?" I ask frantically.

"Her arm is stuck at an awkward angle, it is my suspicion that she has fractured her arm or there may be a cut in the nervous system from where she hitted her head....." Nurse Annie tells me, "If her nervous system actually got cut, she will be disabled for the rest of her life! It won't be a major problem now, the main priority is to get her to the hospital quick before it actually does become something irreversible."

"Bring her to the hospital? I thought you had the materials to do almost everything?"

"Yeah, something like that. But for your information, that does not include something as high tech as an X-ray scan, and unless the school is going to pay for half the cost, I am not insane enough to get one!" She tells me.

"Oh..."

"Oh? What are you waiting for!? You are her boyfriend right? Do something!" Nurse Annie smacks me on the head.

"Technically, i'm not her boyfr-"

"Just do something useful for once in your life, boy!"

And with that she pushes me out of the room and slams the door in front of my face.

"Wait! You forgot-"

The door opens again and she pokes her head out.

"Here."

She dumps Chloe unceremoniously into my arms.

"You had better make sure she comes back alive or else I am telling people you killed her!"

"What!?" I ask, confused.

"Stupid boy! Just go now!" And she then proceeds to slam the door again for the second time that day.

Oh my god...WORST.WAY.TO.START.THE.DAY.EVER...

I dig out my phone and dial Martin's number.

"Hello?" Martin picks up the call, sounding confused.

"MARTIN!!!"
"Jake? What's wrong?"

"MARTIN!!! GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE ASAP BEFORE I FIRE YOU!!!" I scream down the phone.

"DUDE! What was THAT for? You almost burst my eardrums!"

"IT'S AN EMERGENCY!!!!!!"

"FINE! Be there IN 10-"

"5!"

"......HOW THE HELL IS THAT POSSIBLE?"

"I DON'T CARE!"

"!?"

"OR I'LL FIRE YOU!" I shout.

"FINE! BUT IF I DIE, IT'S ALL ON YOU!!!"

I slam on the end call button and then look over at Chloe in my arms.

By the time I get to the gates, Martin SHOULD be there...

And I start to make my way over.

-------------------------------------Time Skip----------------------------------

When I get to the gates, I can faintly hear a car screeching in the distance. Out of nowhere Martin's car comes around the corner before jerking to a stop at the foot of the stairs. The door opens and he gets out.

"Sorry for-" He starts to apologize.

"MARTIN WHY ON EARTH ARE YOU LATE?!" I cut him off.

"Sir-"

"I DON'T CARE! GET ME THERE NOW!"

"Where?"

"MARTIN! HOSPITAL! NOW!"

Martin nods his head, trying to wipe the look of confusion off his face, and opens the door for me.

I get in, easing Chloe carefully onto the seat beside me.

As soon as Martin got in the car, I shouted, "MARTIN, STEP ON IT!!!"

And with another nod, we start to race against time.

Martin's Pov:

WOW.... I HAVE NEVER LIKE N.E.V.E.R. SEEN JAKE LIKE THAT FOR THE MONTHS I HAVE WORKED FOR HIM...He must really like that girl. I knew it! Sooner or later, boss is going to fall in love! ...But does he know?

Jake's Pov:

Ok I have some time now, I should better call Zoey and the rest

I stuffed my free hand into my pocket to get my phone out of my pocket and scroll through my contacts, looking for Zoey's phone number. I dial it but she doesn't pick up.

Oh...right. Class started. Well that's useful...

No sooner than a minute had passed and my phone starts to vibrate, signalling that I have an unread text message.

~ON THE PHONE~

Z- "Jake?"

J- "Zoey! Something happened. It's all my fault...long story short, I need you out of class now!"

Z- "What did you do......No you did not just do something to Chloe...I'm gonna kill you!!!"

J- "Yeah...heh heh heh...."

Z- "OMG... Where the hell are you now?"

J- "Going to the hospital"

Z- "Ok. We'll meet you there"

J- "Thanks."

Z- "But that doesn't mean I will forgive you for what you did to Chloe..."

And with that she leaves the chat.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was so into the conversation that I didn't notice that Martin was yelling at me.

"SIR! SIRR! SIR!!!"

"Wha-...What?!" My head snaps up at the worried tone of his voice.

Judging by the look on his face, this isn't something good...

"Sir, I am sorry to bother you but...there is a problem..."

"Which is...?" I ask

"We are stuck in traffic..." He looks at me apologetically.

Well....Shit....
