At  the sight of his tears i thought the worst. I began to tear up and I quickly handed Jazzy to Pattie, afraid i might drop her. Justin set jaxon down and came to my side and took my hand.  The doctor left and Mr.Stevenson turned around, his face was hard to read.

"She is alright," he said with a smile wiping his tears. Happy tears they must be, happy that their little girl is alright.

"I'M HERE!" Rylee says as he runs into the room a mess and out of breath. Mr. and Mrs. Stevenson quickly hugged him and started talking. Oh i guess i should explain, Rylee is Layla's older brother. He is about 21 years old and was off at college. I guess they called him when the accident happened. 

"Jessica!" He said walking over with his arms open. I dropped Justin's hand and walked into his arms and hugged him.

"What are you doing here?" i asked. Rylee was a like a brother to me, he loved me just as much as Layla.

"Are you kidding me! This is my baby sister we are talking about. I got on the first plane out here. I didn't even sleep for the sixteen hour plane ride, then the five hour car ride," he says letting me go. Right as he did Justin quickly took my hand again, like he was trying to prove something. Rylee just looked at him then back at me.

"She just woke up the Doctors said," i say. He nods.

"I know, we are all about to go in and see her.... So i hear she has a boyfriend?" he says cracking his knuckles making me laugh.

"Yeah, Zack," i point over to the window, "But he is kinda blaming himself right now so please just leave him be," i say trying to save Zack the trouble, i mean the poor kid is already broken right now. Rylee nods and we start toward the room Layla is up in.

"Alright now, she just wok--" Mrs. Stevenson is cut off by Layla screaming.

"OMG PEOPLE! COME IN HERE ALL OF YOU!!!!" she says. We all go in laughing. She is sitting up with an IV in her arm, stitches on her cheek and arms, and a cast on her leg. But still, after all this she has that smile on her face still.

"Baby, we were so worried about you," Her mother says hugging her, then her dad does. They talk a little as the rest of us stand back. Rylee is hiding behind everyone as a surprise. I see Layla's parents leave the room, i guess they were getting us all food. I watch as Zack slowly makes his way over. They exchange a few words and wrap each other up in a hug. Zack smiles, the first movement or emotion he has shown since the accident. 

"Jessica!" Layla says holding out her arms as Justin and i walk over still holding hands. I let go of his hand and hug my best friend.

"Don't you ever scare me like that again.... I never been so scared in my life," i say holding back tears as we hold each other.

"I promise," she says pulling away so Justin can hug her.

"NO hug for your brother?" Rylee says walking over. Layla's eyes light up at the sight of her brother. They hug each other and Layla lets a tear out. She hasn't seen him in almost three years.

"Rylee, what are you doing here? You should be learning and getting an education," Layla says leaning back on the bed. Rylee laughs and sits on the bed.

"Please, that can wait. When i got the call from dad that you were in the hospital and not responding i got the first flight in... No way was i letting school hold me back from not seeing my sister. Plus it is break, we get five month break so i am staying awhile," he says making her smile even more and throw herself at him.

"I missed you so much!" she whispers as she hugs him.

A few days later Layla was back home. She was on strict directions to stay in bed, which means no school. Which also means i am going to be the target because Layla isn't there to back me up like normal. Well, this is gonna be a sucky week for me. Oh, i also forgot to mention that Pattie called the cops on my dad....Only problem, he wasn't anywhere to be found the last few days. Justin is making me stay at their house, which i said i was fine and Layla would take me in but nope, Justin insisted i stayed at his house. Things have been a little better i guess, i haven't cut in four days, which if you know me is a record. But i have a feeling school is about to make me break it.

"I'll see you at lunch," Justin says walking off with Zack to their first hour class. I quickly walked down the hall and made it to my first hour. I sat down and heard a lot of people talking about the accident the football player was in and his girlfriend. I rolled my eyes, they have rumors going around that Layla was to blame, or that Zack was to blame, even that they were both to blame because they were messing around in the car. What ever the case, these people just like causing drama.

"Alright class, since we have break next week. We are not getting any new stuff so, Free time all week...But you must be doing something productive with your time please," the teacher says logging onto her computer. Please, productive, she is probably on facebook over there. I on the other hand pull out my drawing book and flip to my latest drawing, it's a picture of the roof where Justin stopped me from jumping. I named it 'My savior' because that is where my life turned around.

"What is this?" Maddie says as she grabs my book as the bell rings and walks out with it. I trail behind her. She can't look at that, i have things in there no one is supposed to see....
