Fiction of Myself

Chapter Nineteen

Parker's P.O.V.

After making a call to the police Jessie called the hospital for his sister. Veronica had went from shaking to throwing up with a very high heart rate that made her fitness band beep uncontrollably. Ramon and Ken helped her into the car and blasted on the warm air.

"She needs something with sugar or salt in it!" Jessie yelled.

"No, no!" She protested but no one could listen to her for we were too afraid to see her get any worse now.

"Check my trunk!" William screamed.

Marcus ran around to the trunk and opened it to find a couple bags of chips and full soda cans.

"Jackpot!" Marcus yelled grabbing a can of soda and bag of chips running into the vehicle throwing them to Jessie.

"Ramon, Parker you need to hold her down please!" He insisted.

Ramon nodded but I was hesitant. I knew if I was in the same state as Veronica right now I wouldn't want this to be done to me. Mostly since I was one of the only ones who could understand how badly Veronica was struggling with this.

"Parker I swear do it!" Ramon said punching me in the arm.

His intimidation made me realise how much she really did need the help, and how we had no choice but to do this. Ramon held down her right arm and leg while I held down her left arm and leg. Jessie sighed in relief and opened Veronica's mouth with his hand.

"Stop!" She said fighting it again thrashing against Ramon and I as well as biting Jessie's finger.

"Veronica do you want to die?" Jessie asked getting angry.

"You know what I do!" She responded making Jessie go blank with worry.

"I'm not going to let you, ever. You got that?" He said and just as her guard went down Jessie poured soda into her mouth. After she had swallowed it Mason put five chips into her mouth. She cried and kicked Jessie in the face the more he made her drink and eat. After the rush was over Veronica's heart rate slowly started to go down to a less concerning level bringing all of us a great relief.

"We're going to the hospital, once again." Jessie said clearly pissed getting into the passengers seat without another word.

Ramon and I sat down with Marcus and Veronica as Ken sat on the floor of the car shocked. Veronica's face went pure emotionless with her mouth hanging slightly open whispering words over and over.

"Die... die..." She whispered just loud enough for me to hear as I sat next to her.

"Live... live..." I stated giving her a pat on the shoulder.

As we got to the hospital there were staff waiting for us with a gurney ready to go. William slammed on the breaks and Ramon and I held Veronica by the arms helping her down from the car. Jessie got out to stand beside her after she was placed on the gurney.

"Take them home or to a safe place please. I need to stay here." Jessie told William before kissing him on the cheek as a gesture of see you later.

William smiled and nodded to Jessie's need to stay with Veronica. We all looked as Jessie jogged to keep up with doctors who were wheeling his only family member he could count on into hell.

"Parker, if you ever do anything like this-" Ramon began.

"Stop. This isn't about me, right now. It's about her." I said cutting him off and he nodded in agreement.

"Let's give them some space and go somewhere." William spoke up.

Mutters of slight agreement could be heard and we all made our way back into the car ready to go to a save haven. Even if it was only for a little while.
