Forbidden Love

Chapter 8- The Aftermath

Lucy's POV:

I touched Jaden's arm lightly. I didn't want him to fight anyone, especially Darren, that would be just stooping to his level. Jaden turned to look at me, then he sighed and his face softened. Darren looked scared but played it off with, "Ha, I don't have to hang around here with you loser anyway, got much more important things to do." "Let's go home Lucy, the ambulance will be here soon," Jaden said holding my hand. "But what about Jack?" I replied. "Let's leave a note," he said, running quickly to his car and returning with a notepad and pen. I started,

Dear Police or Paramedics,
This is my friend Jack. He's 16 and his house phone number is ***-***-****. I'm sorry I couldn't stay with him but it seems he has passed out from drugs. He may or may not have voluntary taken them, but he's very sick and I would be grateful if you would help him.
Thank You,
Unanimous

"There," I stated, and layed the letter softly on his back,"Goodnight Jack." I patted his hair and we left.

When I returned home I didn't speak to my parents. They tried to ask me about my night and I just ran in my room locked the door and cried. They knocked and I didn't answer. They even attempted to call Jaden's family but they say he couldn't tell them. I'm just so worried about Jack...I hope he's okay...

Jack's POV:

I woke up in a hospital bed. I don't remember half of what happened. I feel nauseous and my head is killing me. I want to die. I try to get up but it feels like I can't even move. My mom is crying. My dad has his head low like he can't even believe it. I try to reach for my mom. I can't move. I try to speak. I can't move. I struggle. I can't move. The doctor walks in. He checks my pulse. He says my heart isn't beating. It's beating. I know it is because I'm breathing. Am I breathing? Am I alive? I try to move one more time. Nothing. I try to speak one last time..... nothing. I'm dead. I'm really dead.
