Chapter 14:

Harry's pov:

*FLASHBACK*

"Jesss come out, come out, wherever you are!" I yell. Jessica is really good at hide-n-seek! This is our 7th time playing today! Me and her are going to be the best of friends!

"Jessica I give up!" I yell out in defeat. I hear footsteps behind me and slowly turn around to face a crying Jessica.

"Jessica what hapened!?" I nearly yell. I'm so scared right now... What could've happened to her?

"My m-mom... sh-she saw me playing and ran out and hurt me!" she says while more tears come down her face.

"What do you mean she hurt you Jessica?" I'm so confused... Why would she say her mom hurt her?

"She slapped me. And pushed me to the ground and started kicking me..." she says in a whispery voice.

"Are you okay? Why would she do that?" 

"She always does."

Jess always gets hurt by her mom like that. I gotta go tell my mom.. 

"Jessica come with me, we're going to my hosue."

She nods her head and starts crying again as we begin walking through the grass.

"Harry, I can't walk.. It hurts. My ribs hurt too much Harry."

"Umm... I got it! I'll go get my waggon! One second I'll be right back!"

I run to my backyard as fast as I can and grab my old waggon. I rush to where our front yards meet and gently help her into it. Once she's in, I pull as fast as I can to my front door.

"MOM! OPEN THE DOOR! HELP! MOM!" I yell as I bang my fists against the door.

"Darling, what is- Honey why is this girl in the waggon crying?"

"This is Jessica, she lives next door. Help me get her inside!'"

My mom carries her inside while Jess cries out in pain with every touch.

She sets Jessica down in the living room on the couch and pulls me into the kitchen.

"Honey, what happened?"

"We were playing hide-n-seek and then she came up behind me crying and when I asked what happened she said that her mom hurt her. She said she slapped her and pushed her and kicked her alot of times in her tummy." 

"Oh gosh, honey we got to get her to the hospital. Anything could be wrong with her ribs if a grown woman kicked her." she says, and I begin to panic. What could've happened to her ribs? Will she be okay? What if she dies? I just met her...

(at the hospital)

"It seems there is some major bruising to her ribs, but it looks as though it's not the first time this has happened to her," the doctor says.

"Well, she's probably fallen multiple times before. We just moved here and were told to babysit her while her mom was out so we had to bring her, but she could've fallen before right?" my mom tries to cover up the nasty truth.

"Yes, that is a possibility. She will be released in about 30 minutes, she has some medication and we've wrapped her ribs in an ice-heat wrap so it'll change between cold and hot. She needs to take the medication twice a day."

"Okay, thank you so much doctor!" my mom says.

Wow. 30 minutes. That's a long time. It makes me mad that I can't go back there and see her. Why can't I see her? She's my best friend!

(after the hospital)

"Thank you for helping me," Jessica says to me and my mom. She just smiles and nods. 

"Jessica want to come up to my room? We can talk and get to know eachother more," I say.

"Sure," she says simply.

"So Jessica, how old are you?"

"I just turned 11."

"I turn 12 in a couple of months."

"That's cool! Where's your dad?" she asks.

My dad. 

"Umm, well, they got disvorsed. My dad lives in England still, which is where I'm from, and my mom is here with her boyfriend." I say truthfully.

"Oh."

"What about your dad?"

"Um, he died last year in a car accident. I was sick and he was speeding home from work because my mom wouldn't take care of me and he went to turn at an intersection and another car smashed into him and killed him," she says as tears start to form in her eyes.

"I'm so sorry Jess, I didn't know..." 

"It's fine. Can I ask you something Harry?"

"Sure."

"Are we best friends?"

"Yes," I say with a smile.

"We're gonna be best friends forever!" she says as she gets up to hug me, "Never leave me, please." 

"I will always be here Jessica."

*END OF FLASHBACK*

I promised her I'd always be there for her... Why'd I leave?Now she's laying here,unconscious.

Jessica's pov:

I wake up to the sound of beeping and whispers. I guess I'm really not awake because I can't open my eyes. I can hear things, but I can't see them. Am I blind now? No no no! Stop thinking like that, I'm going crazy...

"Has she woken up yet?" a man's voice says.

*yes*

"No,not yet. When do you think she'll wake up?" Another voice says.

*I AM AWAKE!* I'm yelling, screaming that I'm awake... Why can't they hear me?

"I'm not 100% sure. Anytime soon though," the man's voice says.

2 hours later:

(Jessica's pov)

Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. That's all I can hear. Nothing else. I move around a little until I find the strength to open my eyes.

The boys. They're here. All of them. But none of them are awake. They're all sleeping on eachother! Hahah!

Oops! I think I just laughed out loud...

"Jessica!? You're awake!?" Louis asks.

"Hi Louis," I say in response. He quickly gets up and presses a button on the remote by my bed. WHAT THE HELL!? I didn't know I was in the hospital!? Suddenly, a guy in a doctor's outfit comes into the room and does a bunch of stuff with a monitor and needles and other stuff I'm not paying attention to. He whispers something to Louis, then leaves.

"You have a couple more hours in this place before you get to leave," Louis says to me.

"Okay. You can take me back to my home then," I say.

"No. You're coming with us. I'll have Harry go get your stuff out of that place, then we'll stay in a hotel room down the street until we go back to London," he says.

Well, that's interesting news. I'll be staying in a hotel with the 5 boys I never wanted to see again. Yay.

A/N

I don't really know what to say. What do you guys think will happen in the hotel?
