Hold Tight (A Justin Bieber Love Story) ((BEING EDITED))

Chapter 49

Four hours, that's how long we have been sitting in the waiting room at the hospital. I was like a zombie, everyone tired talking to me but i just ignored them and sat staring at the ER doors where they rushed Justin and Kyle. How could i let this happen? How could i let the one person who means something to me get hurt in my crazy messed up life? I knew getting close to someone would end like this, i knew i would be the reason for all the pain i put everyone through. This is why I hate myself, this is why i am worthless.

"Jessica, let's go to the lunch area. You need to eat," Layla says in a soft voice next to me. I don't reply to her and she looks over at Rylee who got her an hour ago. Zack was in the ER as well for minor injuries.

"Jess," Rylee says bending in front of me so i am looking at him, i still stay silent.

"Just drop it Rylee, it has been a long day as it is, don't make it more hard on her," Layla says standing up.

"No, this is stupid. She doesn't need to sit and wait for something that could take hours, days. She needs to get food and water in her body, she needs to get cleaned up and get medical attention for her cuts and bruises. There is no point in sitting here Jessica!" He snaps at me. Still, i stay looking at the door with lifeless eyes and an emotionless face.

"Rylee that's enough!" Layla says raising her voice a little. She was tired, Rylee was tired and i knew this was gonna escalade fast.

"Shut up Layla! You aren't helping. She is your friend and you are gonna let her sit like this?" Rylee snaps back.

"Hey enough with the shouting....We got food!" Andrew says walking up with the boys. Rylee quickly gets defenssive but Layla places a hand on his chest.

"Don't Rylee.....They are friends now....Whether you like it or not they aren't that bad..... Kyle tried saving Jess and got shot doing it. They have every right to be here with us," Layla says making Rylee glare at her.

"And now really isn't a time to be yelling at someone who is in pain, or starting a fight with us," Spencer says placing a hand on Jessica's shoulder. Rylee glares daggers at his hand then at his face.

"Give me one reason to let you stay here!" Rylee snaps.

"Because i want them here," I say softly as i look away from the doors slowly and look at Rylee. I see his facial expression soften at my eye contact and i know he has a soft spot for me.

"Fine, but you better eat that food," He says crossing his arms and leaning on the wall next to Layla. I smile a little and look back at the boys.

"This place has nasty food, so we went to McDonalds and got you some chicken nuggets. Hope that's alright?" Andrew says as i slowly take the bag and start eating. As soon as the food hits my mouth i smile, i haven't eatten since this morning.

"I think she likes it," Jarod says with a smile. As i sit and eat i hear Andrew walking to Peter about Kyle, they are whispering but i listen in on the conversation.

"I don't know man.....Kyle is beating himself up about trust Chris, he feels awful about it," Peter says to andrew. Andrew rubs his face.

"I know he does....I do too, i mean he lied to all us and we tried freaking killing the poor girl," Andrew says back before i am snapped back out of their convo.

"How was the food?" Zack says with a smile standing next to me. I smile and stand and hug him, glad he is alright. Layla see's him next and basically jumps him. Zack almost falls back but catchs himself and hugs her back.

"You stupid, don't scare me like that!" Layla says kissing him.

"Whoa, brother in the room people!" Rylee says freaking out. Everyone laughs as Layla turns red and pulls away from Zack.

"Any news on the others?" Andrew, but i knew he knew Kyle was gonna be alright and he was worried about Justin now. Zack looks at Layla and everyone, then to me.

"I didn't hear anything on Justin yet Jess, i tried getting the doctor to tell me but he wouldn't," He says in a sad voice. Everyone looks at me waiting for my reaction.

"Jess...." Andrew says going to grab my shouler but i move away and go back to my chair and sit, looking at the door once again.

"Just leave her be guys....It's been a long day for all us," Layla says as everyone finds a chair and waits with me, but nobody dares talk to me or sit close to me right now.

Another two hours have went by and everyone is asleep in their chairs or leaning on the wall. I look around and adjust my eyes to the dimmly lite waiting room. It was now 3 in the morning and no one was left here except our group which refused to leave so they let us stay. I got up slowly and went to the ladies room. I looked in the mirror and was horrified by my reflection. I was covered in dirt and blood, a mix between mine and Justin's blood. My hair was in a knot, i had tear stains on my face, i was just a mess.

"It's just a reflection Jess," Andrew says standing in the door way making me jump a little. I look at him then back at my reflection not even asking why he was in the ladies room.

"Let me help you," He says getting some towels wet and walking closer. I sit on the counter and face him as he carefully wipes my face clean of dirt and blood. As he does this, a new set of tears takes over.

"Is he going to be alright?" I say between cries. The look on Andrews face was mix of pain and not knowing. He pulled me into a hug and rubbed my back as i cried into his chest.

"I don't know Jess, i don't know," he says in an unsure voice.
