Be looked at, be judged, be happy...

Chapter 21

Hey! I'm not going to say much so yea. BYEE!!!!!

I seen nothing but light. I tried to squint my eyes to see him. I follow his voice, but my eyes are still adjusting. "Destiny? Destiny?! DESTINY! GUYS! GET IN HERE! GUYS!" Jaime shouts. He almost scared the life out of me. The door busts open and I feel everyone holding me and kissing me and hugging me. I hear everyone talking at once to where I can't understand them. I hear someone else come in and it's Emily saying, "Guys, give her some space." everyone moves and I feel her fragile hand in mine. "Destiny sweetheart, do you recognize me?" I look over and I can see her. She has brown hair and big brown eyes. She's beautiful, matching her voice. I smile and nod. "Hi Emily, it's nice to actually see you." she nods in return and yanks Jaime's hand. She replaces his hand with hers and he's holding me. I cry and I pull him in a hug. "I will never leave you again..." I say. He cries and everyone leaves for us to have privacy. As soon as the door clicked, Jaime climbed on top of me on the bed. He cradled me between is legs and arms, putting me into a tight embrace. I laugh as I cry happy tears. I pull him in for a long and passionate kiss and our hands roam each other bodies from the loss of contact we had. I pull back for air as the tubes on my nose make it hard for me to breathe. The first words out of his mouth were, "I love you, and don't you ever do that to me again. You scared me... I thought that I was gonna lose you..." and as he said the last part, tears streamed down his face. I hold back the tears and be strong for both of us. I caress his cheek and kiss him, I say, "I know, I'm sorry. But the ring means something. It means that I will never leave your side...".

Vic, Tony, Oliver, Olivia, and Victoria heard the good news and bombarded the room. The hesitate at our position and think something else. Olivia says, "DESTINY! Your parents are right outside, and you seriously can't help yourselves! She just woke up Jaime! Giver her a break!" I start dying from laughter and Jaime starts to laugh. "Olivia come here and look." I say. She take two steps cautiously, and I put my hand right on top of Jaime's jeans and push him up. "See? Nothing's out." and Jaime moves a little bit. "Destiny, your hurting me..." and I instantly move my hand away. Olivia nods and apologizes. Vic and Tony rush up to me and hug me. "Move Jaime, give her some space." Tony says. The Vic adds, "Can you share her for just 10 seconds?" in a jokingly tone. I laugh and hug them. Then Oliver and Victoria come and say hi, and I say it back. Then I look at Olivia. She has her arms behind her back and is looking at the floor. "Olivia, aren't you going to say hi?" asks Jaime. Tears run down her face. "Shut up, you weren't there when she was bleeding out. I saw the life leave her eyes, I heard her ribs break, I heard her piercing screams when they punctured into her, I seen her spitting out all of her blood, and you expect me to just rush up to her! I couldn't save her! She was looking at me for help and I was just staring at her back dumbfounded! I could've helped her, spare her some time, but I just watched her bleed to death..." I frown at her, feeling her pain. I extend my arms and she walks into them. She lets out all of her pain on my shoulder and I tell her, "Thank you, you did help a lot even though you don't think so. I wasn't alone, and that would've killed me. I'm not dead, I'm alive okay? And I won't ever leave any of you guys..." and everyone comes into a group hug. I do a mistake of sitting up and I scream. Jaime panics and hits the red help button. Nurses run into the room and my clothes cover themselves in red. "The stitches ripped open, hand me the kit." a male says. I look around and Vic as a horrified look on his face. Without numbing me first, they squeeze my wound together and stick a huge needle in it to stitch it together. I let out a scream and Jaime rushes to grab my hand. I feel the needle insert my skin over and over, and I'm praying for it to be over. Tears escape my eyes and I look over at Jaime. I tries to lunge at the doctors, but Oliver holds him back. He fights back and holds my face in his shaky hands. He tells me again and again that it's okay, but I can't hear him over my screams. They finally finish and wipe off all of the blood and change my clothes. They tell Jaime to leave but he stays put. We never break eye contact. They lift up my body and wrap bandages over my abdominal area. I was so exhausted, I pass out. When I wake up in the middle of the night, I see Jaime asleep in a chair. I don't know why I put myself at risk after what just happened, but I slide out of bed and hold his hands. He jolts awake and stand up immediately, "Destiny, you're gonna hurt yourself again, and I don't think I can watch again.." he says. "I know, I just want you in bed with me..." I say embarrassingly. He chuckles and tucks us in, laying next to me. I smile and snuggle into him. I look up at him and he asks, "Yes?" I look down and look up at his face again, "Can you sing me to sleep again?" and he nods. He sings a cover of Kissing In Cars, and I fall asleep instantly.

A few days has passed and they discharged me. They give me a lecture before I leave. "Okay, don't lift anything heavy, and don't walk around too much, don't push yourself to do things you can't handle yet, and take baths and have plenty of bed rest. Okay?" and I nod, anxious to just get out of here. She gives me pain medication that puts me to sleep, and some directions for any questions I have. Jaime carries me, saying that I can't walk too much. I roll my eyes as he puts on my seatbelt and everything for me. Everyone gets a rental since the only car we had was totaled. I smile as we are on out way home. As we emerge on the highway where the accident was, there were burnt tire marks and pieces of broken glass all over the street. I sigh as all of the terrible images flood into my head. Jaime must've sensed it because he puts his hand on my thigh, taking my mind off it. I smile in reassurance and we get home safely. For some reason, I'm scared to sleep alone, so my Mom lets me stay the night at Jaime's. That night, the air smelt of burnt rubber...
