Chapter 16

Layla
--------

I opened my eyes and saw white walls. Shit, I'm here again?! Yes again. I thought about what happened, then it hit me.

The car accident. Blinding lights. Car horn. Shattered glass. Ditch. Klaus....

I got up and unhooked myself to all the machines that were attached to me. The alarm went off and nurses came in to see what set them off. I ran out and looked through all the rooms. Tears started streaming down my face.

Then I found him, Klaus. He has a big white bandage around his forehead and tubes through this nose and arms. I opened the door and gave him a hug. I was crying even more.

The nurses came in and they stabbed me with a needle, but a familiar figure caught my eye. He had blonde hair and caramel coloured eyes.

I saw Layla run out into Klaus's room and 5 mins later they dragged her out. I was now sitting with the person who hit them with the car. I clenched my fists I wanted to punch him but he looked like he already had enough tonight. He has bags under his eyes and his eyes were blood shot, it looked like he hadn't slept in a century.

So instead of murdering him I walked out of the hospital and sat on the floor. I took out my phone and texted Mr. Jackson.

'Hi, it's me Devin. I'm at the hospital with Klaus and Layla.'

'Oh my god, Devin where are you?'

'I'm at the emergency room at Carter road.'

'I'm on my way.'

I got up from the cold floor and walked back inside. I sat in Klaus's room, he was like a little brother to me. He filled in the gap that my brother Shane took away from me. I ruffled my hand through his orange hair that had dried up blood in it.

I only talked to him after my brother died. He was the goofy kid that always knew how to make me laugh even though I was having the worst of possible days.

"You can make it buddy." I whispered in a barely audible tone.

The left side of his mouth twitched and that's when Joe and Celeste ran in. They sighed in relief, then they cried remembering that there son was in the hospital.

"Klaus!" Celeste cried and gave him a kiss on the forehead.

The doctor walked in and saw the mini party going on in the room.

"Who are you guys?"

"We are his parents and this is his brother." Joe said a little annoyed.

Brother? Did they just say brother? That made my heart skip a beat, they considered me part of the family.

"Well I need to give you some news. Klaus is going to be fine. But we are not sure if the other girl Layla it is, will be returning home with him. It's not that she won't wake up, but we found some rather peculiar marks on her arms."

Oh shit oh shit oh shit. They found out didn't they? I looked at Joe and Celeste, they gave me the 'Oh shit' look as well. They knew what they were and so did I.

"What do you think they are?" Joe asked trying to act natural even though he already knew what they were.

"Someone believes, the glass cut her arms and some just healed faster than others."

We looked back at each other and gave the relieved face.

"But I on the other hand believe it's from self harm."

Celeste started crying again, then she pleaded for the doctor to let her come home. Saying that Klaus would be terribly sad if he returned home without his sister.

The doctor closed his eyes and sighed.
"I'm just trying to help, we will release her with Klaus. But someone will come over to the house to check on her, and if they see anything suspicious they will bring her back here."

*10 minutes later*

"Who was that fucker who crashed into my daughter and son on the road?!!?"
Joe yelled in the hallway.

I just stood back slightly amused but then slightly worried for the stranger with the blonde hair and light eyes.

He looked up with guilt in his eyes and walked over to Joe.

"It was me sir." He didn't make any eye contact.

Mr. Jackson grabbed him by the shirt and I think he saw something because he immediately put him down.

"Johnson?" Joe asked.

The stranger looked quite confused but then caught on.

"No sir, that's my father. I'm Paul."

Well now I know the stranger had a name, Paul. (THERE YOU GO LISA)

"You're exactly like him."

"I've been told."

"How's your father?"

There was a short pause then the stranger, I mean Paul spoke up.

"Um- Well, buried."

He gave off a smile that looked like what he said was nothing. But I knew that face, he was dying inside just like when my brother died.

The all familiar white walls were the first thing I saw, again. I looked out the window and saw the whole family except for Klaus.

I saw Devin, Celeste, Joe, and that guy I met on the plane. What's his name? Paul? Paul! Yeah that's it Paul.

I sat up on the bed and looked out the window seeing if they would see me. Devin turned around and his eyes were worried. But then he looked back and his eyes connected with mine.

He walked in and I saw him standing there. His hair was messily tousled, like he just woke up and I'm guessing he did. His nose was slightly pink and his eyes were a pale green.

All of the sudden he walked up to me and hugged me. I got to admit it was hurting like hell, but I wasn't going to complain. The hug felt nice and comforting. He pulled back a little and looked at me, his lips inched close and closer to me.

That's when the door opened and I saw the rest of the family walk in but Liam was no where to be seen.
