Back To Us (sequel to Enemies In Love)

8: Where is he?

Y/n POV

"Elijah and I are gonna go see Carter. You wanna come?" Mia asked, pulling a brush through her matted hair.

"I'm good" I smile "I feel bad for not visiting him though"

"Its fine. We told him what happened, he gets it" Mia winces in pain, pulling the brush harder "he's kinda scared of it himself"

"I don't blame him" I chuckle "though I would've thought he'd be hitting on every nurse there"

"Oh! You should've seen him while he was still doped up on the drugs they gave him!" Mia laughs "every female that came in, even his mother, he was flirting with"

"Seriously?!" I laugh.

"Yes! Trust me, I won't let him live it down"

"He's going to kill you" I smile.

"He sure will" she chuckles.

Carter was fine. Its been a week since he was hurt. He was on his way back to campus when someone hit him. He wont be in the hospital much longer. Just a few more days. Mia, Elijah, and I couldn't be happier that he was fine and was getting out soon. I was so worried that it would be a repeat of what had happened two years ago.

"I'll see ya later. Text me if you need anything" Mia calls as she closes the door behind her.

I reach over and grab my (headphones/earbuds) and plug them into my phone, listening to (band/artist).

(Idgaf if you have an iPhone 7! Its stupid that theres no headphone jack anymore! First they took away the headphone jack, NOW THE HOME BUTTON! WHAT NEXT, THE SCREEN?! WHY DOES APPLE THINK THEY'RE MAKING IT BETTER WHEN THEY'RE MAKING IT WORSE?!)

As the music played, it calmed me. The sound of (singer)'s voice could calm me down any time. I don't know what I would do without music. World without music would be absolutely terrible. These singers turn their thoughts and feelings into a song to show to the world. Its amazing how whats in their head, no matter how dark, can turn into something so meaningful and special to millions. Music has saved peoples lives. The lyrics in songs can turn someone's life around and give them hope. Just that alone could be enough to show how much music could mean to someone.

Unfortunately, the song turned down into an inaudible tone and another tune played. The phone screen got darker and showed Jenna was calling.

I was surprised to see she had called. We haven't talked since she left for college. I missed her, of course, but I had no idea what time zone she was in so I never called in fear of bothering her.

I pull my (headphones/earbuds) out of the headphone jack and press answer. Once I pulled the phone up to my ear, I was immediately in panic mode. The only sound I could head was her heavy breathing and her sobs.

"Jenna? Jenna, what's wrong? Are you okay?" I ask, genuinely worried.

In response, all I received were loud cries and words I couldn't understand.

"Jenna, breathe. I can't understand you"

She slowly takes in some air and pushes it out with hiccups interrupting it.

"I-Its about Zach" Jenna stutters "H-He thi-nks I cheated o-on him" she took another deep breath "he went off on m-me and said he didn't n-need me. He said he's been screwing some other girl"

Zach? Her Zach? Jenna's Zach? I would've never guessed he would do something like that to Jenna, or anyone for that matter. I always thought of him as a down-to-earth guy who just wanted everyone to be happy. Thats what he made us think at least.

"Where is he? I will fly down there and kick his ass right now!" I yell angrily into the phone, hearing the slightest chuckle on the other end. I smiled knowing that I at least did something for her.

"Please do" she mumbled.

"Just tell me what college and state and I'll find his ass"

"Thanks" she chuckles "but I-I never cheated on him! I-I don't kn-ow why he thought that!" Jenna cried.

"If he thinks that then he isn't for you. Only someone who actually loves you wouldn't cheat on you then accuse you of doing so"

"You're not helping!" She cried harder.

Great. I knew I would make it worse.

"I know" I sigh, rubbing my forehead "I'm bad at this and you know that. How about this. Right now go call Zoe, shes way better with this. When we see each other next week over break i'll talk to you. I need time to carefully think about what to say"

"O-Okay" she chuckles.

"See you next week! Call me if you need anything, well anything you know I can help you with"

"Will do"

Jenna hangs up and the music starts playing again. I could only imagine what she was feeling.

Extremely short chapter, I know! I apologise! I just had no idea how to end this one and I felt like I needed to hurry and get another chapter out soon! I'll start writing the next chapter right now!! :D it will hopefully be out pretty soon!
