Just your common love story

Chapter 3

Hannah's POV

I fell really bad that I lied to Josh, but Elizabeth deserved it. I'm not gonna let some low-life loser steal my boyfriend. And besides, how many friends does she actually have? One? No. Ashley isn't a person. She's a mutt. She might act like a human, but there's no way thats possible. She looks like a dog. She stinks like one too.

And Elizabeth ruined my life in first grade. So I'm doing the same to her. She's gonna wish she was never born. Yeah, I'll make her pay. Its not fair. It just isn't.

I'm going to embarrass her at lunch. This will be great. Haha. She'll wish she never can to school.

~3 hours later~

Now's the time. I hope she's ready.

"Attention! Attention. Can I have your attention please?"

Everyone stops and looks at me.

"Thank you. Now Elizabeth King. Where are you? Ah, there you are." I say as I point towards her.

"What are you doing hannah?" Josh says.

"Not now sweet heart. Most of you know the loser, Elizabeth King. But none of you know that she's a slut. Two years ago she slept with four guys. At once. Disgusting, right? Well, she-" I get cut off by Elizabeth running out of the cafeteria. "Where you going Liz? Did I embarrass you?"

Josh screams at me, "Shut up Hannah, shut up. We are done. That was not called for. Maybe I was wrong about."

Josh's POV

Shut up. Hannah, shut up. We are done. That was not called for. Maybe I was wrong about you. I should have never spent 11 months with you. It was obviously a mistake."

She screeches at me, "Come back here now. You cant just dump me. Its not fair." I hear her stomp her foot.

I run all over the school looking for Elizabeth. I can't find her anywhere. I kick the girls bathroom door open and I see Elizabeth standing in front of a broken mirror. She turns towards me with her wrists all bloody. I run towards her and she collapses. Shes unconscious.

I scream at the top of my lungs for help, "Help, help. Someone please help."

The principal runs through the door panicking.

"What happened? Tell me what happened." She says while dialing 911.

I just sit there and rock her back and fourth saying, "It'll be okay. Everything will be okay. I promise."

The ambulance shows up and takes her away from me. I immediately get in my car and follow them to the hospital. They won't let me go any farther than the swinging doors. I should probably call her parents.

~Dials Number~

*Ringing*

"Hello?" Her mother answers.

"Yes, this is Josh Wade. Your daughter is in the hospital. There's no time to explain what happened. Just hurry. I need you hear now. Elizabeth needs you." I say as tears fall down my face.

"Oh my gosh. Okay we are on our way." She says and I can hear her moving.

When Elizabeth's parents get to the hospital, I tell them what happend. The doctor comes out and tells us that she lost a lot of blood and he wasn't sure if she was gonna make it. He told us she was in a coma and she could wake up within a few hours, or even a few days. He says that she has to stay at the hospital until she awakes because they have to do some blood tests and check his on her. I'm really worried that she might not wake up. Or even worse, she might not remember me when she does.

Elizabeth's mother starts crying, I try and comfort her but I don't think its working.

"Can we see her?" Liz's dad asks the doctor.

"Of course, right this way. But might I remind you that she's in a coma so try and keep it down. And if she wakes up just hit the nurse button.

I let Liz's parents go in by themselves then they do the same for me.

As I'm in the hospital room, I'm balling my eyes out. I lay my head on her arm and just ask God why it couldn't have been me in the hospital. She deserves to be awake without a care in the world. This is my fault. I love her and she might not ever know.

The nurses tell me visiting hours are over and I should leave. I kiss her forehead and tell her bye. Bit its not like she can hear me.

I get in my car and I can barely see the road. I'm crying so hard. Everything is blurry. I soon have to pull over and take a moment to breathe. Once I stop crying I head home again.

Now that I'm home I should probably get some sleep.

~Hours Later~

I wake up scared to death. I had a nightmare. It was the worst one I have ever had. I tell myself it was fake and fall back asleep.

The next day at school, I hear people say her name. It bothers me. They have no right to be talking about her. If they want to know what happened they need to ask her parents or me.

On my way to biology I take a deep breath, knowing she wasn't gonna be in school today. I sigh and walk through the door.

Everything seems so weird with her not at school. My life isn't complete without her. I need to go see her after school.

I pull out my phone and tell my coach that I can't come to practice today and that I need to figure things out. He says okay and just come back as soon as possible. (He knows that Elizabeth meant a lot to me.)

After school I head to the hospital, when I get there I see her still asleep in the hospital bed. It breaks my heart seeing her like this. She's so pale and scratched up. I feel like this is my fault. I know its my fault.

I pull a chair right beside her and start crying. Then words just pour out of my mouth, "I love you Elizabeth Nicole King. I have since the first day I laid eyes on you. I knew you would be an important part of my life. And you are. You're my favorite person. When I'm sad or upset, I only wanna see you. You're the only person who can put a smile on my face when I'm in a mood. You're so beautiful! I love everything about you, you're long blonde hair, your amazing blue eyes, you're height, even though you're only 5'5, you're cheek bones are in the perfect spot, and you're smile could light the whole world if it needed to." I start crying even more and lay my head on her arm. I feel her move and I immediately jump up. She starts flinching like shes having a nightmare. I slightly grab her arm and tell her its all right. I know she can hear me, or she wouldn't be calming down. I wonder if she heard what I said before. What if that's what made her have a nightmare?

The nurses come in and tell me I need to leave. They think she's starting to wake up. They said they would notify me and her parents if she did. But visiting hours were over. I kiss her forehead and tell her I'll be back to see her tomorrow.

As I'm in my car driving I stop and think to myself, what if she feels the same? Maybe she does love me. Maybe that's why we've been so close. As soon as she wakes up I have to tell her how I feel.

I arrive home and grab something to eat. After I've finished eating I do my homework and fall asleep.
