Caught Up In The Moment But Not In The Right Way (JALEX) chapter 9

Rian and Zack set me down on the couch in the lounge once we got back to our bus. I was breathing in short shallow breaths.

"Jack, calm down. Everything's okay. Zack, could you get me two bags of ice?"Rian said.

Zack moved to the kitchen to start getting my ice and Rian sat down beside me.

"Care to tell me what happened now?"He asked, softly.

I nodded and sighed, figuring that he was gonna keep asking until I told him. So I decided to start from the very begining.

I told him how I suggested we go to the party, and how I lost Alex when we got there, found him kissing a band slut. How I'd taken him outside to talk to him about it but when he tried to get away and I stopped him, how he'd punched me.

"Wait... He punched you?"Rian asked, clearly pissed off.

Zack dropped the bags of ice on the floor and turned around to look at me with wide eyes. That had clearly caught him off guard if not shocked him.

I nodded, tears threatening again.

Zack recovered the bags of ice and handed them to Rian, sitting down on my other side.

"Take your shirt off, Jack,"He instructed. I obeyed his orders, in no mood to put up a fight.

This was the first time that I got a chance to see the giant bruise on the upper left portion of my abdomen. The sight of it made me extremely lightheaded.

"Oh my god!"Zack muttered. Rian looked like he was about to hurl but he pressed the bag of ice on the bruise.

Zack stood up and went in the other room, coming back a few seconds later with his laptop.

"That just doesn't look like a normal bruise to me,"He said, fingers typing away and eyes glued to the screen.

"Here, Jack. Put this on your face,"Rian said, handing me the other bag of ice.

Zack's face was pale when I looked back at the other boy.

"Okay, Jack. On a scale of one to ten, how bad does your stomach hurt where Alex hit you?"Zack said with a shaky voice.

I thought. "About an eight,"I said, groaning.

"Okay, is it tender when you touch it?"He asked next.

"Well, obviously." Where was Zack going with this? I looked at Rian, who looked just as lost as I felt.

"Last question. Are you lightheaded or confused at all?"Zack said,frowning slightly.

"Well, I am pretty lightheaded and I'm extremely dizzy,"I said, closing my eyes.

Zack slammed his laptop closed and stood up. "Rian, call 911. We need an ambluance to take Jack to the hospital. I'd take him but I have no fucking idea where one is and he needs to get there fast."

Rian nodded and pulled his phone out, stepping outside.

"Zack, whats going on?"I said, nervously.

He ignored my question but muttered, "I'm gonna fucking strangle Alex."

Rian stepped back inside. "Ambulance is on its way. They said ten minutes at the most."

"Will someone please tell me whats going on?!"I said, trying to stand up but falling back down as pain shot through me.

"Let the doctor explain when you get to the hospital, okay?"Rian said, sitting back down beside me.

"I'm gonna call Tay and let her know to keep Alex as far the fuck away as she can get him,"Zack grumbled, dialing her number.
