i felt light in my eyes. i opened them and the sun was shining through my blinds. i also noticed that Jonah wasn't laying beside me anymore. i got up from my floor and ran to my parents' room.
"mom!" i shook her to wake her up.
"huh?" she turned over and opened her eyes. "oh, hey honey. what happened?" sahe asked, rubbing her eyes.
"where's Jonah?"
"oh. his parents came after you fell asleep and took him to the hospital."
"what? why?"
"didn't the cop tell you? he could've gotten a head injury last night."
"can you drive me there? i wanna see him."
"me? can't you go with Maddie?"
just then i got an idea.
"actually i'll go with another friend." i went to the bathroom to brush and wash my face.
after i was done, i put on a pair of dark ripped jeans and a sweatshirt. i put some mascara and concealer on and went downstairs. i sat down on the couch and dialed Corbyn's number.
"hey Sadie." he said.
"Corbyn, are you guys going to see Jonah?"
"what, why? where?" he asked.
"wha-you don't know what happened last night?"
"no, what?"
"ok so yesterday these two-"
"hold on, my mom wants to talk to me. i'll be right back, sorry."
i waited a few minutes.
Corbyn's POV
Sadie was telling me something about Jonah when my mom started calling me.
"Corbyn? can you come here? i need to talk to you."
"hold on, my mom wants to talk to me. i'll be right back, sorry." i said to Sadie. i put my phone down and went into the living room where my mom was sitting.
"yeah?"
"sit down." she patted the seat beside her and i sat down there.
"am i in trouble?" i asked, sounding like a 13 year old.
"no, but Jonah is."
wait. does this have something to do with what Sadie was about to tell me?
"so yesterday, he was with his friend Sadie. i don't know if you know her. but these two burglars broke in to her house and she was getting scared so she called Jonah over, and he came right away. when the men got into her room her and Jonah were hiding there and the men were trying to hurt them."
"what were they doing?" i asked, worriedly.
"they kept pushing Jonah to the ground and when they tried to punch Sadie he threw himself in front of her and he got punched instead. he then fell to the ground again and his arm was bruised and he got a bad black eye. Sadie called the police and her parents, who told Carrie and Timothy and then they took him to the hospital late last night."
"what?" i stood up. almost yelling.
"yep. you and the rest of the boys should go visit him."
"oh my god. okay. i'll text them right now." i felt so bad for Jonah. does he really like Sadie that much? is that why he did this? he went to the hospital for her? wow. just then i remembered that Sadie was on the phone with me. i picked my phone up.
"yeah, i'm back."
"what took you so long?" she asked.
"my mom just told me. about Jonah."
"oh. so are you guys visiting him?"
"yes. i'm texting the boys and i'm going to pick them up. are you going?"
"of course. but can i go with you guys?"
"yeah. we'll pick you up."
"k. see ya."
i went on the group chat with the other boys.
me: did you guys hear about what happened?
jack: yeah my mom just told me :(
daniel: yeah
zach: same
me: i'm going to see him now
daniel: we're coming with you
me: ok be ready in 10
jack: okay
i went upstairs to get ready.
Sadie's POV (mine)
i got off the couch and quickly put cereal and milk in a bowl. i sat down on the table and ate it. when i was done, i put it in the sink and put my Vans on. after a few minutes i heard a car horn outside. i went out the front door and went towards the car.
i opened the back door to the car and went inside. Corbyn was driving, with Jack in the passenger seat. beside me was Daniel, and Zach was on the other side.
"hey." i said.
"hey" they all said back.
i put my seatbelt on and Corbyn started driving to the hospital.
"so we know what happened to Jonah. but did anything happen before then?" Jack asked.
"like what?" i asked
"uh, you know."
"oh my god no! he just kissed my head and i hugged him a bunch of times, but it was just because i was scared and freaking out."
"wait, he kissed you?" Daniel asked.
"by himself?" Zach added.
"yep. wait Corbyn, you didn't dare him to kiss me again when you were on the phone with him yesterday, did you?"
"no. i was just asking him something. a-about homework."
"oh." but he could be lying.
"okay. i'm tired of waiting to ask this. but does he like me?"
the whole car went quiet.
"uh. i don't know. you should ask him yourself when we see him." Corbyn said.
"yeah, i guess you're right." i agreed. "but i really hope he's okay. and awake."
"yeah, we do too." everyone else said.
i felt a few tears coming. i tried to hide my face but Daniel noticed.
"hey. don't cry. i'm sure Jonah's okay. and we're here for you, too."
"i-it's just that i'm the one who saw everything," i said, trying to wipe my tears away with my sleeve. "a-and this is all my fault..."
"what? no it's not! don't put all of this on yourself. it wasn't yours or Jonah's fault. some people just don't have hearts and they hurt others. it's all on those two guys, but they're in jail now. they won't hurt Jonah or you again." Corbyn told me.
"okay." i wiped the rest of my tears away and Daniel gave me a quick hug.
i looked out the window and we were finally at the hospital.
