I Want To Live

Chapter 9

      Being in a coma and immobile was okay. Being awake and immobile SUCKS! I just sit there. ALL FREAKING DAY! I mean, people visit more often now.

    I finally found out who Olivia is. She's Sasha's co-star for Waitresses (she got the part! And so did Bryce!) Olivia is playing Jenna, the lead. She was so excited to meet me and she's pretty cool.

    I also got to see her. She has dirty blonde hair and bright green eyes. Freckles spray across here nose and give here a childish look. Her low cheekbones and plump cheeks contribute to the look. Other than that, she's model skinny and vegan.

    She's also a part-time yoga/Barre/spinning teacher and currently on a juice cleanse. She brought me agave nectar, sugar cane, lemon juice once. It was sour, but delicious. She promised to bring me her newest juice when she makes it.

    Sasha and Bryce come in between rehearsals now too. Bryce has made it his job to record every one so I don't miss anything. Sasha will sometimes just sit with me in bed and we'll watch a movie on her phone. Bryce will pull up a chair until he realizes it's Moana. Then he runs out with his hands over his ears when we sing How Far I'll Go. That always makes me laugh.

    They don't nearly come as much as my mom and Draco. Draco came today and we talked about a lot of things. How college is going (for him.) Going back to college to major in music studies (for me.) What we spent a lot of time talking about is how much Draco's parents love Harry Potter (hence his namesake.) We came across a marathon of the movies on the hospital TV and I made him watch. And then I made fun of him when Draco Malfoy came on because Malfoy has a resemblance to my boyfriend. They both have blonde hair and a fair complexion. After watch all eight movies, (it took up the whole day) Draco left.

    It was late. Visiting hours were almost over. I was about to go to sleep when someone walked.
   
    Javier. I gasp. If you forgot, Javier was my high school boyfriend. He never loved me and emotionally and mentally abused me into the relationship. He made me feel like I didn't deserve better and I didn't matter. It really contributed to my depression and anxiety.

    Now he stands in the doorway. I can't run away this time. He stares at me. I cross my arms and say, "What?" He smirks the smirk that makes me know he's going to say something mean.

    "I know our breakup is what made you do this and I'm going to take you back." He waits for a thank you. My jaw drops. I laugh.

    "Do you even remember that day? I talked to another guy and you called me a slut and a whore. When YOU were the one cheating on ME! I don't need your 'charity' so get out." I scowl. He smirks again.

    "Don't be like that baby. You know you haven't got better than me. You probably haven't even gotten a boyfriend since we broke up." He takes a step closer to me and I scooted back.

    "I have, in fact, had a girlfriend and now have a boyfriend. " It was my turn to smirk. Javier's smile dropped.

    "A girlfriend? I didn't know you were a lesbian." He has a stupid look on his face. I sigh in exasperation.

    "I'm not. Did you notice what else I said? I have a boyfriend. I'm bisexual. I'm attracted to both men and women." I have had this talk a lot.

    "Ewwww. That's disgusting." He wrinkles his nose. I blink in surprise. That hit home. That's why I stayed with him for so long. He knew how to hit home. Tears well up in my eyes.

    A nurse came in with Draco not far behind. They heard the whole thing. Draco walked up to Javier. He didn't even hesitate. Draco's fist connected with Javier's nose. Javier howled. Blood squirted on my sheets.

    Javier looks at Draco. The nurse grabs Javier's arm. "I think you should leave." She said quietly. But Javier wasn't done yet.

    He looks me straight in my eyes. "Is this your boyfriend? This albino?" Draco scowled. "You will come back to me. That's how it always worked right? Well let me prove you'll always be mine." Three male nurses came in, but they were to late.

    Javier launched himself at me. He grabbed my head and force my lips to his. I push at him and try to scream. The nurses wrestled him off me. Draco rushed to me, but I didn't pay attention. I point to Javier.

    "ALL YOU EVER DID WAS MAKE ME FEEL BAD! YOU EMOTIONALLY ABUSED ME AND USED MY DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY TO YOUR ADVANTAGE! I WILL NEVER EVER BE WITH YOU AGAIN! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN! I'M FILING A RESTRAINING ORDER AS SOON AS I CAN!" I take a deep breath and scream, "GET OUT!"

    The nurses dragged Javier out.  Draco sat down next to me and opened his arms. I crawl into them and start to cry.
