Chapter 23

~Emma the Nurse~

They were just kids. Trying to enjoy the little time they had of being a child before the reality of being an adult set in.

All the staff in the hospital knew about the kids who came into the hospital that day worried about there friends, not knowing they themselves would end up on the hospital bed.

There were 12 of them all together.

Olivia Greyson. Cameron Dallas. Taylor Caniff. Carter Reynolds. Shawn Mendes. Aaron Carpenter. Jack Gilinsky. Jack Johnson. Nash and Hayes Grier. Mahogany Lox.  Matthew Espinosa.

After he third patient had rolled in, Taylor, the whole place was chaos.  It didn't make sense to me how he had been wheeled in injured after the other two but it was hard to guess. A few of the boys had fainted but everyone was fine now.

2 other nurses and I were to monitor them. It was obvious none of them would be leaving until they knew there friends we're gonna be alright. IT really showed how much they cared about each other. Like a family...

"Can we please see him?" A young boy jumped up and asked me again. Having been with them for awhile now I had already learned all there names.

"I'm sorry Matthew but the Doctor said no." He groaned and kicked the chair he had been sitting in.

"Two of them at a time may go see him if they wish." The Doctors voice spoke from behind me.

~Carters POV~

"I want to go first." I spoke and at the same time so did Shawn. The Doctor nodded and led the two of us down a long hallway, took a right, and motioned to the first door on our left.

"10 minute boys." The Doctor said and walked away.

Shawn and I looked at each before I took a deep breathe and turned the handle to the door.

The room was quite..and grey. The atmosphere was nothing but sad and depressing. The only sounds heard were Shawn and I's shoes on the floor and a monitor beeping everyone once awhile.

My eyes trailed to the hospital bed where Taylor lay and I gasped. He was pale..Too pale..There was no color in his face. One of his legs was wrapped in a bandage and he had an oxygen mask over his face. Moving forward I could see his hair was wet...

Wet?..From what?...Why was Taylor in the hospital in the first place? I looked at his hair again. Had he been in water? Where had he gone when everyone left?

I forgot Shawn was in the room until he spoke.

"The cliff.." He said in a choked voice and then I caught up to him.

Taylor...He had...He had tried...to take his own life...No he wasn't like..he just...

Olivia. That's why he had done it. Because she had rejected him. Anger I didn't know I had surfaced.

This was all Olivia's fault.

If it wasn't for her Cameron wouldn't have been so depressed in the first place.

If it wasn't for her Taylor wouldn't be laying in the hospital bed in front of me.

If it wasn't for her Shawn wouldn't need to get his heart broken.

If it wasn't for her everything would be fine and normal.

But no..she just had to come back into our lives.

Sure I was upset as anyone else when she was taken in the first place but maybe it had been for the better...

Because of her my friends are getting hurt.

I hated her. I didn't realize how much my hatred for her was being masked for the sake of my friends.

I hated her. I really did..

Taylor's monitor beeped again and I looked up at it. He was still alive...He was still breathing..for now..

The Doctor had said he was in a coma and he didn't know when..or if..he would wake up.

I gently placed my arm over Taylor's arm. He was cold. Really cold.

My mind thought back to a week ago. The happy and bubbly rainbow teenager who seemed like the happiest guy in the world was the same one who was lying on a hospital bed in a coma because he tried to commit suicide.

It didn't make sense....

I knew Cameron loved Olivia...Everyone knew..You could just tell the way he looks at her and the way he smiles so big when she does.

But so does Taylor..He loves her just as much as Cameron...

She was playing them both. She had hurt Cameron before and now she had hurt Taylor.

I wasnt gonna let her hurt anyone else.

I looked up at Shawn. His face was streaked with tears. He had been silently crying while I was in thinking in my head.

I gently patted his back.

"It'll be okay..Don't worry.." I didn't know whether I was comforting him or myself. We both needed it.

There was a knock on the door. Our ten minutes were up.

Shawn turned around and left.  I walked after him but stopped to look back at Taylor.

"I promise you Taylor. This is the end for everyone's pain."

I crossed an X over my heart to justify my promise and walked out of the room.
