Dark Secrets, Big Lies |Toni Topaz|

【Ｃｈａｐｔｅｒ ４９】

When I heard Toni scream I ran up the stairs from the Wyrm so fast. It was unlike a scream I've ever heard before. I seen Toni running out of the parking lot, Jug and Fangs at my side. When we got to the scene there was a small crowd of people around the car. I still didn't even know who it was until Toni pushed herself through the crowd.

That's where we were all filled with horror, Jade's bloody lifeless body laying a few feet away from where her car ended up. Everything happened so fast the next thing I knew we were in the bed of some random persons truck racing towards the hospital.

Thank God we had a nurse with us who was trying to stop the bleeding.

Jade's breathing was so shallow but when she managed to get a breath in it sounded like she was gargling water. All of us kept telling her not to give up fighting we were so close to the hospital. Toni and I were both holding her hands Jug was at her head and Fangs was helping the nurse apply pressure to where she thought Jade was bleeding from.

Finally after what seemed like forever we pull up to the ER doctors rush out and we help lay her on a gurney. They rushed her down a hall I heard Jug yell at his phone he was talking to his dad saying he and Hermione needed to get here fast. The thing the doctors said next killed us all. "We need all hands on deck, this one is serious she's flat lining."

Toni collapsed on the floor she was crying uncontrollably. Tears were falling from us all. I grabbed Toni and Fangs held Jug I knew Jade was a fighter, she fought tooth and nail for everything. I wanted to keep that same mindset now, but seeing how badly she was injured and by what the doctors said I wasn't so sure now.

FP, Hermione and Veronica ran into the waiting room where we were now sitting. "What happened?!" Hermione asked loudly as tears streamed down her face. "This was all my fault, if she doesn't make it I'll never be able to forgive myself." Toni replied still crying. "Tell us exactly what happened" FP replied holding Hermione's hand.

Toni began telling us how Duke forced himself on her and Jade walked in on them. We were all pissed at Toni for not pushing him away but we were even more livid at Duke. If it wasn't for him not keeping his hands to himself Jade wouldn't have left that fast, she wouldn't have been driving that fast down the street, she would have put a seat belt on. She wouldn't be here fighting for her life if it wasn't for him.

"Call Kato and tell him and the guys to find that motherfucker! If my daughter dies because of him I'm killing him with my bare fucking hands!" FP demands me. I pull out my phone and do exactly what I was told. Veronica, Jug, Hermione and FP all left to speak with the doctors while Toni, Fangs and I sat in the waiting room.

"What am I going to do if she doesn't make it Pea? She's the love of my life, my soulmate. How could I have been so fucking stupid to even put myself in that position?" Toni says still crying. I knew the guilt was already eating at her. "You can't think like that Toni, Jade isn't leaving without a fight you know that girl has never backed down from a fight in her life. Yes you shouldn't have put yourself in that position. But Duke should have never even thought about crossing that line with you. He's going to fucking pay for what he did."

..................................................................

I couldn't believe what was happening I couldn't believe I was sitting here waiting to hear if my girlfriend was going to make it or not. I knew I kept saying it but if she doesn't I'll never forgive myself for hurting her, for making her leave, for even allowing myself to think that she was cheating on me. Hermione, FP, Veronica and Jug were gone for a while. When they came back you can see they were all crying.

"I know you don't want to hear this from me but I'm so fucking sorry for all of this. I'm so sorry for hurting Jade, for not pushing Duke away when he kissed me. I love your daughter with every fiber of my being. I want to marry her one day. I'm so sorry." I could see the pain in their faces even more prominent now than it was before.

"What's going on?" I asked, Hermione and FP took a deep breath before FP spoke "the doctors said Jade has fallen into a coma. She flat lined and seized while they had her in surgery. She lost a lot of blood, multiple broken bones, bleeding in her brain from the impact of her being ejected from the car. They told us we need to prepare ourselves for her not even making it through the night. Things are looking grim. If she makes it, there's a possibility she could never walk again." Jug and Veronica holding each other, the first time I've ever seen them show any kind of affection towards one another. FP holding Hermione tightly.

My legs gave out on me again, my heart shattered in an instant. I couldn't loose her, not yet, our lives have just begun together. Almost a year together was never going to be enough. I wish it could have been me in there fighting for my life instead, I would have given anything to take Jade's place right now. I couldn't imagine a life without her, we've known each other since we were kids and now that I was madly in love with her a life without her next to me as my lover is a life I wouldn't want to know.

"When can we see her?" I ask FP, "I don't know Dr. Rodriguez said he would speak with us in a while." I needed to see her I wouldn't be ok until I could see her no matter what she looked like. This was going to be the start to the longest wait of our lives.
