23 - Gone Forever?

November 30, 2016

~Janelle's POV~

There was anxiety all throughout me. We were leaving for Pennsylvania tomorrow and Jack still hasn't woken up yet. Not only that, but I still haven't told anyone about me and Zach. We aren't a thing, though, but I still feel guilty for kissing him. Especially since I already have a boy friend.

"Hey, Janelle." I heard a voice over me. I looked up  and shook my head, I don't want him here right now. "Janelle, please. Just listen to me."

"Go away, Zach." I rolled my eyes, continuing to scroll through my Twitter. Hi it's Danielle again

"Fine, but the boys and I are going to hospital to visit Jack one more time. He would love it if you joined us." Zach left the room.

    If Jack knew what I did behind his back,he wouldn't want to see me. I sighed and got up, I needed to get out of the house at some point.

-

    We arrived at the hospital and I shook my head. I can't be here right now, I don't deserve to be. Zach tried to take my hand, but I pulled it away from him. He nodded and looked down.
    As I stepped inside of Jack's room, the guilt filled up inside me. I'm such a horrible person, Jack deserves better. All the boys do.

"Come on, Nellie." Daniel spoke softly, signaling me to stand next to him.

    I hesitantly walked over. My eyes observed Jack's motionless body. His skin pale, you could tell where he was stabbed. Jack's hospital gown was stained in red, splotches of blood across his upper body.
    Water started to fill my eyes, it hurt to see him like this. Daniel wrapped his arms around my shoulders, pulling me into tight hug.

"Why, Daniel. Why him? He did nothing wrong." I let out softly, trying to hold back the tears.

"Life is unfair, I know. All we can do is hope for the best." He sighed, hugging me tighter.

"Jack's been in this coma for almost a week, what if he doesn't make it?" I looked up at Daniel, he was still looking down at Jack.

"Jack's strong, he will pull through." I nodded, burying my head into Daniel's chest.

    Thoughts swirled around in my head. Memories, conversations, anything that reminded me of Jack. It's bad of me to do so, but I didn't care. He was my boy friend, my 'brother', my best friend.
    The door to the hospital room opened and Jack's doctor walked in. She had a painful look on her face, like she was about to give bad news. A look I know all too well.

"Are you the doctor?" Corbyn asked standing up.

She nodded, "Yes, I'm Doctor Johnson."

"Is he ok?" Daniel added, looking away from the bed.

Dr. Johnson looked down at her clipboard, "I'm afraid to say, but he has been in this coma for too long. If he doesn't wake up in the next few hours, the hospital will be forced to stop his life support."

    My heart dropped, and I let the news seep into my mind. This can't be happening, he has to wake up. I didn't get to say goodbye, that's all I wanted at this point.

The boys saw how hurt I was. "Ok. Thank you, Doctor." Jonah finally said.

    I felt my heart start to pace faster, my breathing becoming more shallow. I can't do this, I can't be here. My body started to fall back, expecting myself to hit the ground. But I didn't, instead I felt my head hit the cushion of a couch.
    My eyes opened, and I saw Daniel's bright blue eyes in front of me. The tears started to fall, this can't be happening.

"You ok, Janelle?" Daniel asked softly. I shook my head, nothing can make me feel 'ok' right now.

"He has to wake up, they can't take him away from us." I sat up and started crying into Daniel's shoulder.

    The other boys came over, wrapping us in a group hug. It felt good to be in the arms of a group of people who are there for me, and I'm there for them.

"I need you in my life like limelight.." I heard Corbyn start.

"Wherever I go I'm taking you," Jonah continued.

"Whenever I call you my lifeline.." Zach sang softly.

"I never hang up, I depend on you." Daniel finished.

"You fly with me so I call you red eye.." I managed to choke out.

"Sky's so clear when your the view.." we all sang together, finishing Jack's part.

"Please Jack, we need you. This isn't Why Don't We without our noodle head, it's not the same." I pleaded, letting my head tilt downwards.

     The boys and I continued to sing Taking You, barley being able to get our words out. We were all hurt inside, no one could disagree with that.

"Sky's so clear when you're the view" the boys and I sang again.

"Anywhere I go, I'm taking you." I heard a mumble come from outside the huddle.

    The boys backed up and we all stared at Jack's bed, I couldn't believe what I just heard.

"J-Jack?" I mumbled, standing up from the sofa.

"H-hi, Janelle." Jack's eyes slowly opened, revealing the beautiful brown that I missed so much.

"You're awake!" I shouted, tears falling from my eyes. I fell onto Jack, wrapping my arms around him.

"OWWW" He yelled, wincing in pain.

"Oh my god, Jack. I'm so sorry," we all started to laugh.

"Nice to see you awake, bud." Daniel added, stepping next to me.

"Thanks, how long have I been out?"

I looked over at the other boys, "We will explain later."

"I'm going to go get the doctor." Jonah said heading out of the room.

    Smiles were plastered across all of our faces, it was good to have Jack with us again.

-

    We all walked out into the lobby, my hand interlocked with Jack's. It felt wrong to be holding his hand after what I did. But right now I just wanted to enjoy the moment, I will have to tell him eventually.

"Guys, the plane leaves in an hour. We have to go, GO!" Corbyn shouted.

"Wait, leaving for our concert?" Jack added, sounding extremely confused.

"Yes, now let's go!" I dragged Jack along with me and we rushed to the van.

"I hoped someone packed for me!" We all laughed at Jack. Yeah, we totally packed for him..

Philadelphia and New York, here we come!
