My Brother's Best Friend: a Jack Avery imagine

Part 5. This Damn Mountain

Previously in "My Brother's Best Friend"

We walked out of the mall with smiles on each of our faces (yes, even Corbyn's) and drove home. Me and Jack headed to my room and I sent Corbyn into Daniel's. Me and Jack just sat there and cuddled until we fell asleep.

⚠️trigger warning. If you have suicidal thoughts or actions you might want to skip down to the end of Rose's flashback.⚠️ back to the story..

I woke up in the middle of the night to my boyfriend sitting straight up, breathing heavy and eyes wide.

"Baby, what's wrong?"

"Dreams."

He went on to tell me about how he dreamt that I was at the bridge nearby sitting on the railing. He tried to stop me but then I pushed myself off the rail and off the bridge. By the end of his story he was almost crying. I grabbed him and put my head on his shoulder. "Everything's okay, baby. That won't ever happen." What he didnt know was that before I met him, I had actually done just that.
                       ----------------------
It was the day after we broke up, and I was so depressed that I had actually thought about committing suicide. I went to the bridge to think. This world will be better without me, I thought. But then Daniel came. He saved me. He saw my arms and how I had cut them. He grabbed me and pulled me into his chest as I sobbed about Michael and how much of a bitch he is. We went home and cleaned me up, bandaged my cuts and washed the tear stains off my face. Then we went into Daniel's room and cried together. Daniel's my crying buddy. I love you, Dani.
                       --------------------
I woke up alone in bed that morning, so I put on Jack's hoodie that he threw on the floor the night before. I walked downstairs and saw Jack attempting to make pancakes. "Baby it's hard," he whined. I helped him make the pancakes and we ate them before Daniel woke up to the smell of them. They had chocolate chips in them anyway, he wouldn't have wanted any. We got up and started walking to my room, when I heard the window break. Jack fell to the ground, unconscious. "I'm back, babe. Did you miss me?" I heard a voice say. Michael. I ran out the door and yelled, "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU WANT FROM ME?" Tears running down my face, I called the police and the hospital. Daniel came running downstairs to Jack's unconscious body, and when he saw Michael and I outside, he yelled, "ROSE, GET INSIDE NOW!" I bolted. I fell on my knees next to Jack, talking to him through my sobs. "Baby, stay with me." "Baby, its gonna be okay." "Baby don't leave me."

*play the song it's part of the story!*
At the hospital, I couldn't sit down. I knew if I stopped moving, I'd fall and break down. I walked over to the desk and asked, "Avery, Jack?"

She typed the name into her computer. "I'm sorry, that name isnt in our- oh! Avery, Jack Robert?"

"Yeah!"

"Room 5-007."

"Thank you!"

I yelled at Daniel and we started running to the elevator and went as fast as we could to the fifth floor. I ran to room 007, and knocked, even though I knew Jack was still unconscious. I walked in and saw Jack's body just sitting there, laying there. It looked lifeless. No, dont think that. I sat down next to Jack, and I was silent for a few seconds. Then I started singing.

"I'm g-gonna make it up this m-mountain, make it to the t-top. Show 'em what I'm m-made of, show 'em what I've got. I will I will I will, I will I will I will. So mark my words b-before you swallow y-yours," I sang between sobs. Why would Michael do this? Before I could think another thought, I heard a hitch of breath, like someone was coughing. I looked over and..
