Love Is Just An Act for Rivals

Chapter 20

Megan's pov;
"Hello,I'm medic Jenny and this is Stephen were going to take you to hospital,okay?" The paramedics had arrived and was checking if Joe was still conscious,he was but only slightly. I couldn't control myself, I was sobbing hysterically and I wouldn't let go of his hand. "One person can come with him to the hospital but the others will have to find their own way there," Jenny said while helping Joe on to a stretcher,"Meg-Megan-I-want-megan," Joe whispered and a new layer of tears fell from my eyes. I nodded and gripped his hand tighter. I looked at Stephen while he lifted the stretcher,he looked young,maybe in his early 20's and he could read the pain in my eyes like a children's book. After the joe was loaded into the back of the ambulance Stephen whispered something to jenny and then spoke to the others, I could over hear him,"she isnt in a state of mind to help a guy to hospital all by her herself. We don't usually do this but we are going to allow one other person to come with us so they can comfort her." I didn't really take it in, being in the back of an ambulance holding my almost dead boyfriends hand was surreal,sure we had only been dating for a month or two but it was like I had known him for years. I was to occupied staring at joes extremely pale face to notice Darren climbing in the ambulance me and pulling me into a hug.

We were half way to the hospital(which was like a half hour drive) and I was still in the same state I was when we first left Annie,Molly and Jeff behind. I was curled in a ball in Darren's arms while I held on to joes left hand with my right. Joe was now fully unconscious and Stephen was trying to clean his wound. "What happened exactly?" I heard Darren try to speak but his voice was shaky,he had been crying to. "We broke down on the interstate and then these two guys came up to me and my friend while Joe and Darren were fixing the car and Joe told these guys to back off because they were scaring me and they stabbed himmmm," I answered instead but my voice was husky and I was reduced to a waterfall of tears on the last syllable. Stephen nodded and continued cleaning the wound.

Me and Darren had been at the hospital for an hour or so before Jeff,Annie and Molly arrived. As soon as I saw them I launched myself into Molly and Annie's arms an we fell I the floor in to a heap of tears. We must have stayed like that for 10/15 minutes because Jeff and Darren didn't have the heart to move us. We only flinched when the doctor came in and spoke,"Hello I'm doctor Sydney and Joseph should be fine,"we all sighed of relief,"we just need to give him minor surgery as he has lost a lot of blood. He's stable just now and he's asked to see you all. He's in room 304."I didn't even listen to the rest of doctor Sydney's speech, I just started running towards room 304.
