Letting go

Chapter Twenty Five

                                                                            Jackson's pov

It had been two days since I left London in search for Harper's family and friends. I haven't gotten any word on Harper but I'm hoping she's still okay.

"Hello. My name is Jackson Reed and i'm looking for May and Arthur Jennings," I said to a woman in what looked like her mid forties.

"Why are you looking for them?" She asked from the doorway.

"Their daughter Harper is in a coma. We don't know how long she's going to be here," I said I said waiting for her reaction.

"Ashton come quick," She yelled inside the house. "Come in please, I'm May's sister," She said letting me in.

She led me into the living room and sat down. She offered me something to drink but I refused.

"Harper and I were kidnapped by Harmony's boyfriend Hunter. He verbally and physically abused her. After about two months were escaped but Hunter and his workers found us. There was a shot off between an officer and him. Harper was shot twice in the leg and stomach. She has a severe concussion and internal bleeding. She has been unconscious for about three weeks now," I said finishing the story of what happened to Harper.

"That poor child. She's been through so much the past year," Harper's aunt said wiping away a few tears.

"Britt it's okay. They're on their way over," Her husband said sitting down next to her on the couch.

"I'm Ashton. Harper's uncle," Ashton said shaking my hand.

"Jackson sir," I said after we release gripps.

"So Jackson how do you know our Harper?" He asked as we passed time.

"She's my girlfriend," I said thinking back to the love of my life laying in that hospital room.

"Britt. Our little Harper found herself a man," He said smiling at his wife.

"WHERE IS MY DAUGHTER?" Someone yelled pulling our attention to the front door.

"May calm down she's in london," Brittney said running over to her sister.

"Where is my baby Britt? Where is she?" A man yelled walking in right behind May.

"Now both of you listen to me. She's in a coma in. Where is she again?" Brittany asked looking back at me.

"London Bridge Hospital," I said standing up to meet Harper's parents.

"Why is she there?" Arthur asked.

"You both need to listen to him," Brittany said looking at me.

They both sat down as I told them what happened. They listened closely when I started talking about the abuse.

"How is she doing?" May asked once I was done.

"Before I left she was still in a coma. I haven't heard anything different," I said looking down at my hands.

"We were so stupid," Arthur said breaking the silence.

"What do you mean?" Brittany asked unclear as to what he was saying.

"We kicked her out of the house and blamed her for the death of Harry and Harmony," He said as tears ran down his face.

"I thought you said she ran off," Brittany said standing up in anger.

"We thought he was the one who was driving and crashed the car," May sadi not looking at her sister.

"I can't believe you May. You need to go make things right with her if she's dead or not," She said strongly.

"Are you crazy, She'll never want to see us," Arthur said looking down with his wife.

"Mr. Jennings I know for a fact Harper misses you so much," I said jumping into their conversation.

"We will not see her. She's not our concern anymore," He said getting up and walking out along with his wife.

The three of us sat in shock. They just denied their only daughter left.

"Would you like to stay here for tonight?" Brittany asked after we all got over being shocked.

"Please," I said looking at her with pleading eyes.

She lead me up the stairs and into a bedroom.

"This is where you can sleep," She said before walking out of the room. I sat down on the bed and thought about Harper. Brittany knocking on the door pulled me from my thoughts.

"How did you meet Harper?" She asked sitting down next to me.

"I had come to america to see my mother and younger sister. I almost missed the flight back to London and next to her was the only seat open. When I first saw here my breath was taken away. She was stunning. We talked the whole flight before parting ways after the plane landed. I got her number and texted her the next day. Someone had called me asking about the second room I had open for a roommate. They came by the next day and low and behold it was her. We got along great till I started developing feelings for her. We became closer and ended up going out on a date. I opened up to her like no one else. I fell in love with Harper from then on. After we got kidnapped I "joined" Hunter's side but in reality I wanted to protect Harper the best I could. I made sure no other guys hurt her and I helped her escape. I was with her in the hospital and I'll be with her till the end," I said finishing our story.

"You really love her don't you?" Brittany asked, looking deep into my eyes.

"Yes," I said simply.

Brittany didn't say anything, just got up and walked to the doorway before she turned around and said something so powerful.

"If you love her then go back to her side."

She turned at walked out of the room. I thought about it for a minute before grabbing my phone and dialled Matt's number.

"Matt. I'm gonna need a ride back to London tonight."
