By Your Side; Ksimon

Chapter Twenty Four

Simon's POV: "Simon...Simon it is time to wake up now, Simon...?" A voice whispered far off in the distance, blackness consumed my vision. I didn't want to wake up...I didn't want to return back to reality, but for some reason, I forced myself awake.

"JJ!" I moaned out as I opened my eyes. Pure white filled my vision before it slowly drizzled out. It turned out to be a light hanging above me.

"Oh finally Simon...geez you had us all worried." Nicks says, he was by my bedside.

I looked around, realizing I was in a hospital bed, "What the fuck...?" I mumbled as I went pushed my two hands down on the bed, realizing I had a cast on my hand.

I groaned out in pain as I cradled my casted hand with the other, that was an awful idea. Slumping back into the bed I stared at him in shock, "What the hell happened...?" I questioned groggily, gritting my teeth.

Nick starts explaining, but when he did everything came in a rush, JJ, moving his hand to saying my name, he was there, alive, breathing.

"How is JJ." I said sternly as I cut him off. I looked around, realizing there was a bag of food in the room, along with a balloon. Why would I be in a hospital bed though?

"H-He's recovering..." Nick mumbled, making my eyes light up, "W-We still don't know if he'll make it, but he's making progress!" He says quickly, not wanting to give false hope, but it was to late.

"H-He's gonna be okay...he has to be..." I whispered remembering what Deji said, he had to be, "Is he conscious?" I questioned with a heavy heart.

"In and out, you can see him in a little bit if he's awake..." Nick said unsure.

"Have other people seen him? Has he been talking?" I questioned wanting to know his state.

"Yeah they have, he has seen almost everyone. He has said only short things." Nick whispered. He kept glancing over his shoulder like he was worried someone would overhear.

"What happened to me?" I questioned, looking around at the bed.

"Y-You had a panic attack...and well, punched a wall...you were so exhausted you slept for awhile." Tears lined his eyes as he stared into me.

"N-Nick..." I mumbled. He stood up, propping me up from the bed. I carefully take his arm as he leads me out of the room, taking me to the receptionist. She says that JJ is taking visitors right now.

Nick starts walking, but my legs freeze, I couldn't move, "H-Huh?" He questions, still holding onto my good arm, I broke my right wrist.

I shook my head, I wasn't ready to see him again, I couldn't bring myself to do it, not when he was awake, when he could be upset, he probably didn't want to see me.

Nick sighs, "F-Fine Simon. At least let me take you to JJ's and Deji's place, they are all doing a surprise cleaning of the house, all of our mates are there. This way JJ gets in less trouble when he gets home...his parents haven't been there yet."

I took one long last glance down the hall, I couldn't leave him, but maybe he didn't want me here, he probably wants me gone after what I've done, "Is someone with him?" I questioned.

"Ethan." He says quietly, I nod at him and he leads me out of the hospital, making me feel guilty as I hop into the car and he drives away.

When we arrive cars were lined up all around his house, we walked up to the house and went inside, everyone was at work, a few people came up to me giving me a hug, but most continued working. I imagined everyone knew what happened, but no one said a word.
