I woke up to a loud beating on my door, I rubbed my eyes than realized somebody was still hitting the door.
I got up and walked to the door seeing Matthew, I was shocked when I saw matthew staring at me with a blank look, matthew came into the room and closed the door behind me.
I sat on the edge of my bed still confused about what was going on, I felt Matthew sit down next to me and scoot a little closer. I looked at him with a blank expression on my face, I heard him clear his throat and that's when all the words came out.
"Jen, Nicole is hurt." I saw tears streaming down his face.
"W-what do you mean she's hurt." My face burning, tears forming.
He put his head down and I heard small sobs. "She was in a car wreck this morning."
My heart dropped, the room spinning around in circles. I bursted out crying, not knowing what to do, what to say, or what to think. Matthew grabbed me and held me close, sobbing into his chest.
"I'm gonna take you to see her Jen."
I wiped my eyes and ran out the door running down to the lobby and getting into the car with Matthew. The ride to the hospital was silent, only thing heard were quiet sobs. We arrived and I ran straight to Nicole's room.
I saw her, her body was pale and limp. Bruised and cut, I cried even harder just seeing her. I sat down next to her trying to calm myself, I gently held her hand and cried silently. I heard the doctor come in and he put his hand on my shoulder.
"I'm sorry miss but we're gonna have to ask you to wait out in the lobby, there are some people out there waiting for you." He shooed me out and closed the door behind him.
I walked to the bathroom and saw myself, my eyes were red, puffy, and bloodshot. Tear stains on the sides of my cheeks. I walked out tears still rolling down my cheeks. I felt strong arms wrap around me and pull me into a hug, it was Cameron.
I squeezed him tightly and started crying even more, I felt him tighten his grip. I could hear the quiet whimpers escape his mouth while he held me. I felt safe when he held me, I calmed myself down and we sat down.
"Are you okay?" He wiped the tears from his eyes.
I held back the sobs that were threatening to escape my mouth. I shook my head yes knowing that if I opened my mouth I'd cry even more. He held my hand and sat closer to me, I felt like it was the end of the world.
I felt my self slowly falling to sleep. I felt a light shake, I opened my eyes the bright light burning a little. I was still wrapped up in Cameron's arms.
I checked my phone seeing it was 11:30 pm, I yawned and sat up.
"You should probably go home and get some sleep." I heard Cameron say.
"I'm to scared to leave Nicole."
"She's in surgery, do you wanna sleep at my house?" "We have a guest bedroom." I saw him sit up straighter.
I nodded slowly and walked out the door with him, hand in hand. The car ride was silent, only thing heard was other cars passing. We arrived at Cameron's house.
I walked in and plopped down on the couch, to tired to walk anymore. I felt him sit next to me and I scooted closer to him.
He held his hand out to me and helped me up. We walked up stairs and walked into a big room, I was assuming it was his. He opened his drawers and handed me some sweat pants and found a shirt that was Sierras.
We walked into a smaller room that was warm and smelt nice. I put my stuff down on the bed and plugged my phone up to a charger.
"Do you need anything else before I go to bed?"
I shook my head no and got up, I walked over and hugged Cameron. I felt tears roll down my face and I quickly wiped them away hoping Cameron didn't notice.
He squeezed me a little tighter and smiled.
"Goodnight Jen." He looked down at the ground.
I pecked him on the cheek and I saw his face turn bright red, he smiled a little.
"Goodnight Cameron." I smiled and he walked out the room.
I quickly got changed and hopped into bed, my face became hot remembering the way Nicole's body looked. How it was so limp and pale, the bruises and cuts that covered her skin. Sobs escaping my mouth as I curled up trying to forget about it.
I remembered when my mom got in the car accident that killed her, I cried even harder remembering her last breaths, her last words she told me, that sparkle in her eye I'll never forget.
My door opened and I saw Cameron walk in, he got in bed next to me and hugged me tightly. The sobs becoming louder and heavier as I remembered more and more of what had happened.
I cried until I was at the point I thought I didn't have any tears left. The rims of my eyes burning as every tear fell to the ground. Cameron held my hand and rubbed my back trying to sooth me.
I felt myself become very sleepy, the
Memories all going into a blur, my crying slowed down and stopped. The last thing I saw was Cameron's face, as we both fell asleep breathing slowly and steadily.
