Him.

The Hospital

Jake's POV

All I remembered was that I came downstairs. I can't remember why I came. The front door slam shut. I heard screaming and footsteps coming down the stairs. It was a girls voice. I looked up to see a girl on the phone. She looked so familiar, but who was she?

"Yes! You can help! I need a rescue squad down here! My boyfriends been shot! Oh! Yes! The address. Umm.... Gahhhh... 4562 Lemming Chord Rd. Thank You!"

Boyfriend? I was her boyfriend? I don't even know her name! Let alone my name!

"Jake? Jake! Stay with me Jake! DO NOT CLOSE YOUR EYES! Stay with me!" she cried. My eyes slowly started to close and my vision blurred. "Jake!" she let out one last whimper before I couldn't hear or see anything anymore.

Jessie's POV

I ran down the stairs talking to 911. Trying to explain to them what had happened. I saw Jake with his white t-shirt. Tight around his torso from the wetness of the blood. I ran to him, crying. I kept calling his name but all I heard were faint mumbles. I screamed for him to not close his eyes. But they did anyway. I let one more whimper out as the Rescue pulled up in the drive.

When we arrived at the hospital, they put him in ICU. They wouldn't let me go back. 

"Please! He's my boyfriend! Please let me see him!"

"I'm sorry ma'am. I understand he's your boyfriend. But we have to take him into immediate surgery. He's in critical condition." the doctor put it gently trying to calm me down. I fell to my knees as they shut the doors to the surgery center. I put my face in my hands and started crying.  The receptionist came and she helped me up. She rubbed small circles on my back as she sat with me on the couch, soothing me.

"Everything's gonna be alright." she whispered. "He's in good hands sweetie. He's gonna be ok. It'll be awhile, but he will be okay."

"Thank you." I whispered back softly.

"Your welcome." she whispered back, a warm smile spread across her face, soothing me.

When the surgery was over, the doctor came through the door.

"Jessie Hodges?" I immediatly jumped up from my seat, wiping a few tears away. "You can see him now."

I practically ran down the hallway to his room. I stopped at the doorway as I saw him. There were wires all around him. IV's stuck into him. The color from his face was gone. He looked almost lifeless.

The surprise on my face must have been noticable to the doctor. "Its ok honey. It's just the medicine. He should be moving again in the next few hours."

I walked up to the bed, sitting on the chair that was beside it. I grabbed his hand, my other hand brushing through his hair. 

"I love you Jake. From the moment I first saw you, I was in love with you. Please don't leave me now. Please." I layed my head down on his bed. "I love you." I whispered one more time before I fell asleep.
