Chapter 21: The Drug
Friday 11:00pm
Liam's POV-
I run up the stairs. When I go into my room. Jackie is in Alfie's arm. She's pale and limb. She looks like she's dead but she isn't right? I hear Leah behind me saying let's go to the hospital. I just stand there. Leah shakes my shoulders snapping me out of my shock. I quickly grab Jackie and hold her in my arms. Alfie runs in front of me to open his car. I place Jackie in the back seat and sit with her. Leah sits in the passenger seat. I check if Jackie is breathing, she is. I let out a sigh of relief. What the hell happened!? I don't get it why Jackie! We get to the hospital and we go through the emergency doors. People stare at her like they've never seen a girl before. Alfie talks to the secretary or whatever the person that takes you're medical information is called. Luckily I have all the information in my wallet. Alfie takes Jackie into his arms. I quickly give her the information. She gives her the wristband thing. We sit down in the waiting room until Jackie's name is called. She starts to cough but not regular coughs. She's coughing up blood! I start to panic. I hear her struggling with the coughing. I ask for help. A doctor passes by and quickly attends her. He calls nurses to take her. They bring the gurney and put her on. They start to do all those medical things that I thought I would never see. They take her away. I start to chase after them, to see where they're taking her. The nurses hold my arms and pull me back to my sit. I loosen their grip on me and begin to run. That's when someone tackles me down. The cops. I surrender. They take me back to my seat. My legs start to shake. After about 30 minutes I begin to get impatient. Alfie is pacing across the room and Leah rests her head on my shoulder. I rest my head on her head.
"Everything is going to be okay." Leah says. I just close my eyes and hope for the best.

Liam's POV-
I think I fell asleep because Leah shakes my shoulders to wake me up. I open my eyes. I look around and remember that we're in the hospital. Jackie! I get up but Leah pulls me back down. She holds me down with all her strength. I pull my hand away. I pulled away strongly and fast because her hand goes back and hits the wall. She quickly holds her hand and starts to rub it and inspect it. I blink multiple times to make sure it's real. It is. I quickly grab her hand and look at it. It's red. What did I do?!
"I'm sorry." I say running my fingers through my hair. I bury my face in my hands. She hugs me.
"It's okay. I'll be fine, it's your sister I'm worried about." She says. I look up. I noticed Alfie isn't here.
"Where's Alfie?" I ask. I'm scared to here the answer. She looks down at the ground.
"The doctor asked for someone to go with him to help Jackie calm down." She says. What!? I should've gone she's my sister after all. I shake my head and feel the tears come. Wait, did she say to help Jackie calm down. I bury my face in my hands again.
"Liam." I hear Leah say. I look up. I see Alfie running towards us.
"Liam c'mon, Jackie's asking for you." Alfie says. I quickly get up and let Alfie lead the way. When we get there. Jackie is fighting against the nurses and doctors. I run to her. She sees me and runs to me. She needs to lay down but when her small arms wrap around me nothing else matters only her. At that moment I know she's okay but then she collapses in my arms. I pick her up and put her on the bed. I back away and let the doctors do their job. A nurse escorts us out of the room. Leah and Alfie are both quiet. A doctor comes out of the room a few minutes later.
"Jackie is now stable..." The doctor begins to say. I let out a sigh of relief. He continues.
"But the cause of what happened to her is a drug. It's been in her system for a while now. Since she's a very strong girl the drug didn't affect her much at first but now it took full affect. Was someone with her when she fainted?" The doctor asks. Leah and I face Alfie. He raises his hand to say that he saw her.
"Um...she was going to go downstairs but she said she started to feel dizzy. I didn't pay much attention to it because I thought she had gotten a headache and got dizzy. Then she fell and I knew it wasn't a headache. And then we came here." Alfie finishes.
The doctor nods and starts to focus on the clipboard."Well she can't go home yet. I think she'll have to stay the night. You are welcome to stay with her. We just need to move her to a room and you'll be able to stay with her." The doctor says. I nod cause if I speak I'll start crying. I see the nurses pass by with Jackie on a gurney. We are taken to the room when they're done with everything. The hours pass by. Leah had to leave. I'll call her tomorrow. Alfie stays with me. We sit there in silence. I stare at Jackie's pale face. We end up falling asleep but we wake up to a nurse giving Jackie some medicine. Jackie's awake! I stand up and walk to her. She finished taking the medicine and then opens her arms for a hug. I hug her I don't squeeze her today because I know she's in a fragile state. Wait, the doctor said it was a drug that made her this way. Conner! That asshole will pay for this! Jackie pulls away and lays back down. She has trouble breathing. I hold her hand. She closes her eyes tightly. She does that every time she doesn't want to cry. I'm glad she's trying not to cry because I would break inside. She opens her eyes again. I look into them.
"You feel better?" I whisper. She nods. I don't think she wants to talk. The nurse leaves and she starts to talk.
"What happened why am I in the hospital?" She asks.

Jackie's POV-
"What happened why am I in the hospital?" I ask Liam. I waited until the nurse left until I talked. I don't know why though.
"You remember the drug Conner gave you?" He asks. I nod.
"Well the drug took full affect yesterday. That's why you're here." Liam says. I look at our intertwined hands. I squeeze his hand. He smiles. I can tell he wants to cry, his eyes are watery and his voice cracks a lot. I'm surprised he's able to contain his tears in his eyeballs. I feel tears beginning to form. I close my eyes to keep them in. I don't get why the drug would affect me during Liam's date. Why in the most important moment of my brother's life. I check to see if Alfie's here, he is. I don't remember what really happened. All I remember so far is that I fainted and woke up in the hospital. I hear the nurse open the door.
"The doctor wants to speak with you two." She says to Alfie and Liam. The nurse is way to young in my opinion. She also looks very familiar. I stop thinking because I'm starting to get a headache. They leave. Then I hear banging on the door. What's wrong? I get up but as I'm about to open the door the handle moves. I back away. The door opens.
"Hi Jackie" He says.
