Tell Me A Lie

Chapter 8

"You son of a bitch!" I slapped him across the face. "What the hell did he do to you! Don't you understand I love him!" He pushed me on the ground. "Shut up for a second!" I looked at him with all my tears in my eyes. "Their family is no good trust me Lexi knew the older one, which I had to take care of years ago." I looked at him and I never hated my brother. He's always been my protector. My care taker. "I don't give two shits. He's not him!" I stood up and walked to my car. "Oh by the way Kyle go suck your own dick!" I slapped my door shut. I beeped the horn and drove off. Jake was halfway dead and I wasn't waiting another second. I heard a sound on the radio our song. Well the song we danced slow to in Middle School. Blank Page by Taylor Swift. I never liked her but that song was my only weakness because of him. I remember I was crying because my date said he didn't think it was working out and he walked over and told me I could do better and the song came on and he pulled me on the dance floor and twirled me in the middle and kissed my forehead and said I was stupid for going out with him. He was about to say something else but my ex-boyfriend tried to talk about it. 

              I turned the radio and it was mine and Adam's song. Why did the world hate me? I turned it on to my radio and played Animals by Maroon 5. I got there and I ran in. I asked the nurse and they sat me down. I knew it wasn't good. "Miss.Kathy." I looked at them and I could tell they felt bad. "He's got a 50/50 more like 60/40 but he isn't looking so good. We aren't quite sure it he'll make it." I nodded and looked at my lap so I wouldn't cry. "Can I go see him?" The old woman nodded.  She pointed down the hallway. I walked down the hallway to see all these poor kids and adults sick or dying. I held my chin up and walked into the room. He laying on the bed asleep and a picture in his hands. I sat in the chair next to him and grabbed his hand. "Jake. I love you." I had to pause so I could talk without snot and everything coming out. "Don't go. I need to know if we had well have a future together because I don't want one without you. Why would I want anything without something that makes me smile brighter. Makes me happier. Makes my world spin round. I didn't realize how much I needed you until today and I don't want to let go now. Not ever. Please." I rested my head on his face and looked at the picture and it was of us on 4th of July. I was standing on his old truck watching the fireworks and he was looking at me. I felt tears stream down my face by the millions. "Jake you have to stay. I'm not asking. I'm telling you!" I felt my heart drop. He was still asleep. I laid my head on his arm. I heard the door open I looked to see Adam. "Adam what are you doing?" He just looked at Jake. "What the hell happened?" I almost forgot Jake was his friend. "Kyle shot him." I looked at Jake and he was so peaceful. "I'm sorry Kathy. Do you think he'll pull through?" I saw he was exactly worried. "Yeah, he's strong and smart." I rubbed his hand and grabbed Adam's to calm him down. "It's okay Adam." He sat down in a chair next to me. "Do you think he can hear us?" I shrugged. "I love him Adam, I really do." He smiled. "I'm glad your happy." I smiled at him. 

       I fell asleep on his arm. It was Sunday. I got in the bed with him and kissed his cheek. "Morning. Wake up." I shook him and nothing. "Jake!?!" I called in the nurse and they made me get out of the room. I paced in the waiting room. I called Lexi no answer. I called Tommy no answer.  I called Kyle no answer. I was alone. My dress was soaked with tears. I waited and waited for hours it seemed. Finally they called me. "Mrs.Meutz?" I stood up. I guess they thought I was his wife. "I'm afraid...." I pushed past them because I knew what they were going to say. I felt tears fall. I ran into the room to see him awake and smiling. "Hi babe." I ran up to him. "Jake, don't ever do that again." I held on to his hand and kissed his cheek. "I thought you were dead. I didn't know what I was going to do." I curled on the bed next to him. "I wouldn't leave you. I wouldn't feel right leaving the love of my life all alone." He kissed my forehead. 

            "I think you need to learn how to stay out of trouble." He laughed at me and pulled me a little closer. "Nah I like playing rough." I slapped his shoulder and laid my head on it.  "You scared me real bad by the way."  He smiled and I saw a glisten in his blue eyes. "I was scared I wouldn't be able to kiss you one last time." I rolled my eyes and rubbed my finger up and down his chest. "Hey Jake do you remember our song?" He grabbed his notebook next to the table and started writing. I just sat and admired. When he was down he handed it to me. It was word from word, step by step what happened that night. "Oh my god you remember my hair falling and my nail color! Now that's huge!" He rolled his eyes and kissed my shoulder. 

         "Sorry your handicaps!" I sat up and rubbed the shot wound. "Does it hurt?" He shook his head and showed me the hole. It was huge! "Damn Jake why do you have to be so skinny?" I taped it up better and kissed it to make it feel better. I drew on his back with marker saying I love Kathy Lee Ann. He didn't notice.  I left that night and I grew I would be able to get sleep.
