Left Behind

I Hate Goodbyes

12:30am-

The police and ambulance had finally arrived. Jessica went with Danny to the hospital. Her heart raced as they rushed Danny to the hospital. The paramedics cleaned up his face bit. He was still unconscious.

"Will he wake up?" Jessica says holding onto his hand.

"I don't know yet, but he for sure has a broken nose. Ma'am all it could be is a minor blow to the head."

Once they got to the emergency room they took Danny back. Jessica sat in the waiting room all alone. She bounced her feet and twiddled her thumbs. She knew nothing.

Sarah came rushing in a bit later and Jessica held onto her.

"How is he?" She says taking Jessica's hands.

"I don't know yet. They took him back but they haven't said anything. Sarah I feel so guilty."

"Jess, don't feel guilty. I bet he's fine. Maybe it was just a blow to the head. It can't be that extreme."

"I can't believe Sam! What an ass!" Jessica becomes furious clenching her teeth and holding up her fist. Suddenly she burst into tears. She couldn't hold it back anymore. The fright, nervousness, and sadness that filled her body.

Each minute that went by got longer and longer. She knew it couldn't be anything too serious. She kept googling things on her phone which made her even more worried.

"How long as it been? What's going on! I need to know." Jessica says

"It's only been twenty minutes, Jessica. I think maybe you should go home and rest."

"I can't have something happen to him."

"I know... he'll be okay. It can't be that serious."

"Sarah, having him back in my life has been the greatest blessing."

"I didn't know you felt that way towards him."

"I didn't either."

One hour later-

Jessica and Sarah waited in the waiting room. Sarah let Jessica sleep while Sarah stayed up.

"Mrs. Huston?" A doctor calls walking into the waiting room.

Jessica didn't say anything at first because she had never been called 'Mrs.Huston'. Sarah tapped Jessica's shoulder.

"What?" Jessica whispers

"They are looking for a Mrs. Huston, maybe it's for Danny."

Jessica's eyes widen. She quickly stands up.

"I'm his girlfriend." Jessica says quickly

She didn't realize what she had said until she said it. She referred to herself as Danny's girlfriend?

"Danny is doing just fine. He had a minor concussion from hitting his head when he fell. Unfortunately he also has a broken nose."

"He'll be okay, right?"

"Yes... he can go home in the morning. You can see him now if you'd like. He's probably going to sleep the rest of the night, but he'll be up in the morning."

"Thank you." Jessica smiles

She turns back to Sarah.

"He's going to be okay." Jessica breaths heavily.

"That's great."

"Sarah, thanks for being here. I'm sorry about all this, but go home get rest."
