Wallflower 2

Chapter 129

(Jade's P.O.V)
I saw him. He was laying there in the hospital bed with his eyes shut as if he was sleeping. He just passed out while smoking. He started having a coughing fit and he kept saying he couldn't breath so I called an ambulance. He told me he'd quit but I guess he lied to me. Now he's paying the price for it. He's dying but I won't accept it. He's my best friend and I love him. I sat next to him and held his hand.
"Jack, why'd you do this to yourself?" I asked as tear filled my eyes.
"You said you'd quit, now you're dying." I started to cry.
"Why Jack? Why are you doing this to yourself? You haven't lived long enough." I sobbed onto the hospital bed.
I wiped me tears and stood up. I took a deep breath and kissed his lips.
"I love you Jack. You're my best friend. You'll get through this, I know you will." I said.
Jack's eyes opened a little.
"I, love you too." He said in barely a whisper.
The heart monitor beeped fastly, then went dead. My eyes widened and I screamed. He can't be gone.
"Jack! You're not gone! Please stay here with me!" I yelled as tears fell down my face.
Matt and the boys came running in and Matt pulled me out of the room but I kept trying to get back in. Everything seemed to go in slow motion. I was screaming and crying. The boys were pulling me out of the room so I didn't have to see Jack not breathing and me scarred. Matt pulled me into his chest and I sobbed.
"It's not fair!" I yelled.
"He didn't live long enough!"

I shot up off of the couch with tears streaming down my face. I looked around the room quickly for Gilinksy.
"Jade, what happened?" Taylor jumped up.
"I just had a bad dream." I said.
Gilinksy walked downstairs and I sighed.
"Are you okay?" Nash asked but I didn't reply to him.
They all talked about me so I'm not going to talk to any of them right now. I only talked to Jack G last night because he needed a friend. I still feel weird around them.
"Damn. I fell asleep but I'm tired so I'm going to bed." I said to Taylor.
Taylor followed me up the stairs and we brushed our teeth. I changed into one of Taylor's shirts and climbed into bed. Taylor climbed in with me and kissed me.
"Today was fun." Taylor said.
"Yeah it was." I smiled.
"I love you baby. I love you more than you'll ever know. You're my whole world." Taylor kissed my cheek.
"I love you too Tay. Thank you for everything." I kissed his lips.
"You're so perfect. Your hair, your eyes, your body. Everything." Taylor said.
"I love you so much." I whispered as I put my finger to his bottom lip.
He kissed my lips again and he bit my bottom lip gently.
I smiled and he got on top of me and started kissing my neck.

I woke up and checked the time. It was noon. Taylor was on my with his head on my stomach and his arms wrapped around my waist. I was only in my undergarments from last night. Taylor was only in his boxers.
"Babe, wake up its noon." I said to Taylor and he groaned.
"Taylor, get up or I won't give you a good morning kiss." I said and Taylor got up.
I smiled and kissed his lips. He got on a pair of sweats and I put on a pair of his sweats with his shirt from last night. We walked downstairs and the boys were all staring at us.
"Got a problem?" I harshly asked.
"No, it's just you guys were loud as hell last night." Johnson said and blushed but rolled my eyes.
"Look, we're sorry for saying the things we all said. It was stupid and immature." Nash said.
"Boys will be boys I get it, but I feel weird being around you guys now." I said.
"We understand and we're sorry. Yes, we'll admit we all said something about you except for Shawn and Matt of course but we're guys." Carter said.
"That still doesn't change the face that you guys talked about me and my body. You know I'm insecure and now when I'm around you I feel weird and get a weird feeling that you guys are looking at me." I said and looked down.
Taylor grabbed me by my waist and kissed my temple.
"We're sorry." Johnson said.
I sighed and looked up.
"I get it. You guys are boys and boys will do that. It's fine." I said.
The boys all hugged me and apologized again. Taylor walked to the kitchen and grabbed two apples. He handed me one and I ate it.
"I'm going back home. Want to come Tay?" Taylor nodded.
"I'm just wearing your clothes there." I said.
We walked out to my car and I drove back to my house. When we arrived we got out and went inside. The girls hugged me tightly and smiled.
"Did you have fun yesterday?" Acacia asked.
"Yes we did. We went to the O2L house and had a nerf war. I won by pushing Kian off of the roof and into the pool." I smiled.
"I bet that was super fun and funny." Andrea said.
"It was." I said.
I walked upstairs to my room with Taylor and he sat down on my bed. I took off my shirt and sweat pants and threw them to the floor.
"What should I wear today?" I asked as I walked over to my closet.
"What you're wearing now is fine." Taylor smirked as he snaked his arms around my waist.
He rested his head on my shoulder and one of his arms fell off of my waist. I felt a pinch and I jumped.
"Taylor!" I gasped.
He chuckled and kissed my cheek.
"I love you Jade Elizabeth." He said.
"I love you too Tay." I replied.
I grabbed a pair of black, high waisted shorts, my pink bandeau, and a plain white crop top. After I finished getting dressed Taylor tackled me into my bed and we both began laughing. Taylor's lips got close to mine until they were centimeters apart.
"You're so beautiful. I love everything about you." Taylor said against my lips.
I traveled my hand up to the back of his head and ran my fingers through his hair. I gently pushed his head down and made our lips touch. The kiss was soft and gentle. It felt amazing. Taylor pulled away after about a minute and smiled. He rolled over and I laid next to him. I put my leg over his and he wrapped his arm around me. He looked at my wrist traced over my scars.
"Don't do this anymore Jade Elizabeth. I know you can't make promises about it, but I love you to much to let you damage yourself." Taylor said.
I looked up at him and took in all of his features. His eyes were sad and he wasn't smiling.
"I love you." I whispered.
I leaned up and kissed his jawbone. He snuggled his head into my neck and smiled. He's so cute and I'm lucky to have him here with me.
"How about we go out. Just the two of us. Like a date." Taylor said and I smiled.
"Let's go." I got up and so did Taylor.
I slipped on my black vans and Taylor got his shoes on. We walked downstairs and I told the girls we'd be back soon. We got into my car and Taylor drove.
"Where do you want to go?" Taylor asked.
"Anywhere as long as I'm with you." I replied and a huge smile grew on Taylor's face.
"I have a place then." Taylor smiled.
We began talking about everything we could.
"So you're still weirded out with the boys?" Taylor asked.
"Yeah. I mean, they talked about me sexually and it disturbs me." I said.
"It disturbs me too. You're my girl and no one else can have or touch you." Taylor said and I looked at him.
He knew why I was looking at him.
"Okay okay. Technically, you're not my girl but I like to think of you as my girl. Relationships are hard for me." Taylor said.
"I know because of what happened. I won't pressure you." I looked straight ahead at the road.
10 minutes later we arrived at a cliff. Taylor parked the car and got out. I followed. Taylor sat himself on the ground and I sat next to him. The sun was setting and it looked beautiful.
"It's so beautiful babe." I whispered.
Taylor pulled me closer to him by wrapping his arm around my shoulders. He kissed my temple and we leaned our heads together.
**
An hour later we went back to my house. I started not feeling good. I felt like I was going to puke, and that's exactly what I did. I ran to the bathroom and threw everything up from today. Taylor held my hair back and put it in a pony tail.
"Are you okay baby?" Taylor asked.
"Yeah. Probably just a stomach bug. I'll just sleep on it and see how I feel tomorrow." I said.
I brushed my teeth and went into my room with Taylor. Taylor threw off his shirt and handed it to me, then grabbed a pair of his sweats I kept. I took off my shirt and changed into Taylor's shirt. I took off my shorts, then climbed into bed.
**
A few hours later I ran to the bathroom and puked again. Taylor got up a few minutes later and held my hair back again.
"Go back to bed baby. I'm fine." I said.
"No. I'd rather stay here and help you." Taylor said.
He's so sweet. I washed my mouth out and brushed my teeth. I dragged myself to bed, once again, and closed my eyes.
