Chapter 18

Jakie POV

I rush to the campsite with a weak Newt in my arms. He kind of struggles against my grip but I call out for Emily. She comes running out of the girls' tent, "This better be good or I'm gonna--" She starts, but sees me carrying Newt, "Oh my god! JC bring him over here!"

I follow Emily and end up setting Newt down on the picnic table. "Dean! Call an ambulance!!" He rushes out of his tent and with one glance at Newt, he grabs the emergency phone and dials 911.

"What happened to him?" Dean asks worriedly on the phone

"I'll tell you later, but right now let's focus on the fact that he is dying on this table!" I say hurriedly and get the first-aid kit to wrap the already healing wounds.

"Okay. What can I do to help?" Emily follows up.

"Um... Can you please use the first-aid kit and cut some bandages for his wrists?" I ask specifically.  She immediately understands and gives me a sad look before running off.

Once Emily comes back with the bandages I hurriedly wrap around his bleeding wrists.

10 Minutes Later

I hear the blaring sirens as the ambulance comes closer to our campsite. Four EMS people come out and only allow three people in the back of the truck with them; Emily, me and Dean. Once we arrive at the hospital, he is rushed to the ER and a doctor pulls me aside and Emily follows.

"Excuse me, ma'am? I am sorry to bother you, but we need to know exactly what happened to him." She asks.

"Yeah... I'd like to know too." Emily adds.

"H-He cut. Tried to d-drown himself, but it didn't work. He then r-ran to a waterfall cliff and he- he-" I frantically explain sobbing and constantly stuttering trying to not leave out any details. 

The nurse understands what I was trying to say and responds, "Thank you. We will do everything we can. I'm sorry you had to go through that." The doctor responds. Emily meets me halfway as I walk back to the waiting room and embrace me into a warm, sisterly, loving hug.

Dean POV

I'm waiting with Thomas, Brenda, Minho, and Sam in the waiting room. It's been about a half an hour and we've been anxiously awaiting news on our friend.

"How's he doing?" I ask jumping up as Emily comes through the double doors.

"He's gonna survive but he's had some serious damage from the-... fall." Emily sobs and I run to her and envelope her in a huge hug.

Jakie walks in after me with a blunt look on his face. We all stop and stare at her; with one look at her, I can tell she is broken too. I just hope she doesn't try to run away again. 

"Jakie. It's okay to show emotion you know. We're here for you." Minho states. I was suddenly shocked by his words as he wasn't the normal funny and bubbly Minho he usually is. A tear trickles down Jakie's face; Minho then walks over to him and embraces him into a brotherly 'I'm here for you' kind of hug.

Emily leads Jakie out of the room seeing as they are gonna probably have a serious talk. The rest of us don't take it personally. We understand that people can have their own conversations. 

Emily POV

I hate seeing Jakie like this. I don't want her to feel like this is her fault. I lead her out because she started mumbling to himself. More specifically that it was all his fault and I need to make sure she was okay. I have had to deal with this stuff with Newt before and I just want to let her know I understand and that he will get through this. 

"Hey, you okay?" I ask trying not to hint what I was getting at too soon.

"Yes, Emily I'm fine. Not going to try to run away again and disappear." She replies harshly. I flinch at the mention of that day.

"JJ, don't beat yourself up about it, it wasn't your fault. You didn't know he was going to slip and fall off a waterfall." I remind him trying to lift the mood.

"He didn't fall off Emily..." She states sourly. I only nod knowingly and embrace her into a loving hug.

 It was Newt's choose as much as it hurts me to say that.

"Are you going to tell the others?" I imply.

"I don't know." She starts.

"I think you should," I respond. "We're a family and family tells each other everything." Jakie gives me and a sad smile before walking back to the others with me.

Jakie POV

Minho rushes over to me and Emily walks back to Dean. 

"I should have been there..." He states and it hits me that he already knows what really happened. 

"What do you mean?" I ask. 

"I should have seen it! I wasn't able to tell the first time, but I should have been able to stop him... I- I should have saved him... I'm sorry." Tears were streaming down his face and I hug him letting him know it's okay. 

"You didn't know. It's okay, there was nothing you could have done. This was still his choice don't beat yourself up about it." I reply sobbing. 

"Don't be a hypocrite JJ," Minho warns. 

"I'll try not to." I continue, "But I think everyone deserves to know the truth." 

"Are you sure? I don't know if this is really the kind of call you get to make." He adds. 

"They need to know Minho this is our family." I walk off standing in front of the others. 

"Guys I think there is something you should know," I announce. "I need to tell you the truth about what happened to Newt."

After the dreaded heartbreaking story, everyone sat there in awe. Not knowing what to say. It wasn't my place to tell them but they had to know.

2 hours later

The doctor comes back with the news of how it went.

"I am happy to say he is alive. However not so well. He has a concussion and some symptoms you will see from the massive blood loss is rapid breathing, weakness, easily confused, cold skin, uneasy and drowsy. Everything went well and you can start seeing him now if you wish." She smiles. We all stand up at once but the doctor stops us. "Two at a time please."

Emily and I go in first. He was sitting up on the bed reading a book. He had a bandage around her head almost like a headband; with bandages around his wrists.

"Hey, how're ya holding up?" Emily questions him. He looks up and smiles.

"Not too shabby," Newt responds. He looks at me and I start to feel the tears run down my face. I rush over to him and grab his face in my hands and kiss him with all my might. He kisses back and to ruin the sweet moment, Emily clears his throat. We break apart and Newt rolls his eyes at her. I can tell he is very weak as one kiss left him exhausted. 

"I'll be back after everyone else visits you and you'll be out of here by end of the day." It was only noon since the incident occurred at about 5 in the morning. After everyone visits and he is giving time to relax it is about 4 pm. The doctors say he's good to go. Of course not without a few rules.

He can't do any rough activities.

Try not to stress him out.

Give him these pills twice a day (antidepressants) for 3 months

If he feels dizzy make him sit down right away

Limit to no electronic device use

Once we get back to the house Sam, Brenda, Thomas and Minho said they were going to go back to the campsite and grab all our stuff. Leaving me, Emily, Dean, and Newt at the house. It had been a long day and we were so tired that we decided to go to bed early. We were all sleeping before the four got back.
