Mourning Star (Sequel to Unbroken)

Damaged

We drove home in a comfortable silence.  Dad pulled up to the BVB house and we stopped.  We decided to wait in the car until the rest of the guys arrived.  Dad started to say again and he set his head on the steering wheel.

“Dad, I know you miss Mum, I miss her, too, but-“

“No! You can’t miss her, Blake! You can’t! You never fucking met her! You don’t know what it’s like to have the one person you considered a sister be dead!  It’s all that fucking scumbags fault! If he had never made Carter pregnant she would not be dead! She would be here right now laughing and hanging with the guys!”  He shouted.

“But then you wouldn’t have me.  You are basically saying that it was MY fault and that if I had never been born, Mum would be here.  Well good, because I wish I was never fucking born, either! Join the fucking club, John,” I spat and ran out of the car.  Tears ran down my face as I ran to the room I was staying in.  I just laid on the floor after I made sure my door was locked.

“But then you wouldn’t have me.  You are basically saying that it was MY fault and that if I had never been born, Mum would be here.  Well good, because I wish I was never fucking born, either! Join the fucking club, John,” Blake spat at me.  She ran out of the car and into the house. 

“Fuck!” I screamed as I hit the steering wheel.

“J!? You okay!? Where’s Blake!? What happened!?” someone asked me.  It sounded like Chris, but I couldn’t be sure.

“Fight.  Inside,” was I was able to choke out between my sobs.

I heard someone curse, then several people ran inside. 

“What happened, J?” I heard someone ask.

“I fucked up.  I fucked up big time,” I whispered.

“What the hell did you do?!” someone, I think Jayy, yelled.

“She tried to comfort me, but I yelled at her and basically told her it was her fault Carter died,” I sobbed.

“Fuck!” someone from inside screamed.  They came running out with a limp Blake in their arms.

I didn’t know what I was going to do.  I walked out of the guest room and into one of the bathrooms in the hall. I walked in but slipped on something.  Next thing I know, my head hurts like a bitch and all I want to do is sleep.

We pulled up to the house and watched Blake run inside after slamming her door. 

“Fuck!” J screamed from inside the car.  I saw Chris run over to the car and talk to J before motioning for me and the guys to go inside.  By now everyone was here.  Ash, Austin, Tino, Jaime, Chris, Dahvie, and I ran inside.

“I will go check the guest room, Chris, Austin, come with me, you guys look around here,” I said, authority kicking in. 

We ran upstairs and saw that the guest room she and J were staying in was wide open.  Blake wasn’t in there or in the bathroom connected to it. 

We ran down the hall to the other bathroom and knocked, this was the only door that was closed.

“Blake!? Are you in there?!” Austin yelled.

No answer.

“Blake! If you are in there, come out or we are coming in!” Chris yelled.  I sighed. 

No answer.

I reached above the door and handed Austin the key.  He quickly unlocked the door and we walked in to find Blake laying there, unconscious, with a pool of blood around her head.  Her once turquoise hair was now blood red. 

“Fuck!” I screamed.  I quickly scooped her up while Chris ran in front of and Austin ran beside me, holding a cloth to her wound.

“What happened!?” J yelled.

“I don’t know! We found her like this!” Chris yelled as we climbed in J’s car.  I sat in the back with Blake on my lap and Austin still holding the cloth to her head.  Chris sat in the passenger seat and J got in and started the car.

We arrived at the hospital in a matter of minutes.  A nurse came and took Blake as everyone else showed up.  Since we were such a large group we got our own waiting room. 

There were only two couches and one chair.  Meri led J to the chair and he just sat with his head in his hands.  She then walked over to Ashley and they took a seat on the couch.  On one couch was Tino, Phil, Ricky, Ghost, Aaron, CC with a crying Lauren in his lap, and Vic.  On the other one was Jinxx with Sammi on his lap, Ash with Meri, Balz, Ryan, Jaime, Mike, and Brandon.  Jake sat on the floor with a sobbing Ella.  War and Anthony were sitting together on the floor, as well as Dahvie, Jayy, Snow, Blade, and Staycie and Zaenne were holding Savannah close to them.  Austin, Tony, Chris, and I were the only ones standing.

I sighed at the sight of the kids.  No one else had kids, or if they did they left them at home.  I was the only bride to have a kid.  Blake never met him before this because Juliet ‘got tired’ of us caring about Carter and her funeral and Blake after Blade was born.  So, she left.  She got tired of Blade’s ‘attitude’ and ‘sent him’ to live with his father.

“Company for Ms. Blake Smith?” a nurse asked. 

“Yes,” Austin said.

“How is she?” I asked.

“She busted her head open.  She needed stitches and is asleep right now.  She should be awake in a few hours,” the nurse said.  We nodded and she walked off.

The four of us that were standing sighed and sat down.

(((FOUR HOURS LATER)))

“Company for Ms. Smith?” a nurse asks us.  We nod.  “You can go see her now, two or three at a time, please,” she said before walking off.

J and I were elected to go first.  We walked down the hall and into Blake’s room, where she sat on her bed.  She looked fine except for the huge gauze bandage wrapped around her head.

“Hey, Princess,” J said to her.

“Uh… Hi?” she asked, confused.

“Hey Blake,” I said as I walked over to her bed.

“Um… Who is Blake? And who are you?” she asked. 

Shit.
