Chapter 28

I look up to see Luke, a look of concern on his face.

"W-where did you come from" I sniffle.

"I was walking by the hospital & saw you run out..so I chased you here. Is it too soon to ask what happened" I nod.

"My mom...she was hit by a car. They say it was a hit and run."

"Oh my God, i'm so sorry.." he looks to the ground. "Is she..."

"She's in a coma." I start a new round of crying. I feel him pull me in to try to comfort me, & we stay that way for a while.

I wipe my face & stand up. I hold out a hand for Luke, & he takes it & stands up with me, but he still holds my hand.

"I guess I should get back..."

"Would you like me to walk you back"

"Thanks," I give a smile.

We get to the hospital, & walk in. Our hands are still connected.

"Will you..." I start to say.

"No need to ask, I was going to stay with you anyway," Luke explains as we get into the elevator. We go into the room. My mom still lays there lifeless.

I sit in the chair next to her & hold her hand. I feel the tears fill my eyes & I lay my face down on the bed. I feel a hand rub my back.

A few minutes later, I hear the door open.

"Ohh, hello," I hear Grandma say. I put my head up & make introductions.

"Grandma, Grandpa, this is my friend Luke. Luke, this these are my grandparents." They say hello to each other.

"Now, Emma..." Grandma began. I didn't like how this was sounding.

"The docters say they don't know... when... your mother will wake up again. Your grandfather & I have been discussing it. We'll stay at your apartment with you til school ends next week, then you can come back with us..." I don't know what to say. They live about 3 hours away. I just nod, it's a fair agreement. They seem satisfied with my response.

A little while later, we all leave. When we're outside, I'm about to give Luke a hug but he beats me to it. I thank him for being there, then we separate ways.

We get back to the apartment, & I just go straight to my room. My poor mama.

I check my phone. I have a few new messages.

'Hey babe' from Jack.

'Hey whatcha up to (:' from Jeff.

'hiya' from Alisha. I decide to just send a mass text to all my friends so I don't have to explain it over & over again.

Within the next half hour, everyone ends up at my apartment.

"Geez I didn't know everyone would come here.." They all laugh, then I introduce them all to my grandparents. Questions about my mom are answered, then we all just sort of hang out for a bit.

Soon, everyone leaves, & Jack winks while elbowing towards my room. I nod. I talk to my grandparents for a bit, then go back to my room, where I already see Jack waiting at the window. I let him in & we hug.

"Sorry abouut everything," he whispers in my ear. I simply shrug, not knowing what to say.

He presses his lips against mine. I kiss back. He lies me down on the bed.

"I'm not really in the mood for that..." I say. He gives me a sad look.

"Pleease" Jack gives a puppy face.

"Sorry." I say but he pouts.

"Don't be like that.." I say.

"I just would love to do it now, & despite everything you're going through, you still look amazing." I blush at his words.

"You're so sweet..." He pushes me on the bed & kisses with such force. I feel his hand start to lift my shirt. But I stop him.

"Screw it," he says getting up then leaving through the window.

I start crying again. I lost my mama, & now Jack is mad at me.

Days go by, & it's wednesday. Tomorrow is the last day of school. I've visited Mom every day, & my friends have been really supportive. Jack hasn't spoken to me since friday though.

I havn't told any of my friends about what happened with Jack, they'll just get mad at him, & I just want to make things right again.

I walk to school & I see Jack talking to Kelsie out front. I walk over.

"Hi," I say, waving.

"Emma, I heard about your mom, I am soo sorry," she says, giving me a hug.

"Thanks.." I give a faint smile.

"I'll uh, just leave y'all to it," she says as she leaves.

"I'm so sorry," I say turning to Jack when Kelsie is out of ear shot.

"It just hurt that you didn't wanna do it," he says.

"Forgive me" I ask, hoping he'll give me another chance. He hesitates.

"Yeeaaaah." I hug him. The rest of the day speeds on by.

I get home, & about an hour later, Jack appears at my window.

"Hey beautiful."

"Hi," I blush. He crashes his lips to mine.

A little while later we're just laying in bed.

"I don't know how long i'll be gone," I say.

"What"

"When summer vacation starts & I have to go stay with my grandparents."

"Ohh.." I was hoping he would say something about visiting whenever he could.. but he doesn't say another word.

*Hey there! I decided I was going to change some things a bit, I went back & took out Jack & Emma having any sex, so Emma is still a virgin. That's all I changed so you DO NOT have to go re-read. Thanks :)*
