The Secret Identity Of A Nerd

Chapter 12: Rivalry

[JOHN'S P.O.V.]

I stood frozen in my spot as I witnessed what unfolded before me. Kendall was on the ground embracing Kathy into a tight hug. When I noticed that she wasn't fighting back or reacting the way she did to me when I tried to touch her, I felt jealousy and anger begin to choke me.

Why is Kendall with the girl I like? Why isn't she resisting? I felt so betrayed as rage started to boil through my veins. I knew I shouldn't have fallen for someone again, I was only going to go through the same thing I did with Tanya. I should have known better.

I noticed Kathy move so I moved my gaze towards her. She stared at me and there was fear, shock, and confusion swirling in those glassy orbs of hers. I stared in shock as her gaze puzzled me. Why would she have a look like that?

I saw her lips move but as soon as her mouth opened, her eyes rolled back and her body went limp in Kendall's arms.

My heart began to pound thickly in my chest and I ran towards the two figures on the ground.

"Kathy!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. I saw Kendall lightly shake her shoulder and whisper for her to wake up. His face was drenched in panic as he tried to find a way to make her open her eyes. When I stood right in fron of Kendall I yanked Kathy out of his arms and pulled her towards me.

"What did you do to her?"

I softly tapped her cheek as I called out to her. After a few seconds of getting no response from her I lowered my head to her chest. I hear the faint pounding of her heart but noticed that the beating was slow and soft. I peered at him and gazed at him in fear.

He seemed to understand my thoughts and took out his phone from his pocket. He dialed a number and spoke with a person over the phone, in less than five minutes the sirens of an ambulance were heard. A man and woman hastened towards us. They took Kathy out of my hands laying her on a stretcher and quickly stuffed her in the vehicle.

I rushed to the back to lift myself into the small box when the male paramedic stopped me.

"Do you have any connections with this woman?"

"No, I'm-"

"If you are not a relative or family member then I can not permit you to ride with us."

"Then what hospital- hey, wait!"

Before I could finish he shut the back doors and the ambulance sped away.

"Stupid sh*thead!" I cursed with anger. I paced back and forth running my fingers through my hair trying to figure out where they could have taken Kathy. I growled in frustration and punched the brick wall. My knuckles prickled with pain. My mind traveled to another world as I tried to figure out what to do next.

"... John... damn it, John! Listen to me!" I was smacked upside the head and I glared at the person who did it.

Kendall stared back at me blankly, as if what he had just done to me never happened. He spoke to me with a cold voice. "Chill the f*ck out, dude. Use your common sense. She was taken by the ambulance and an ambulance heads to a hospital so we can figure that out."

"Naw sh*t, Sherlock. You want me to give you a prize for your outstanding brilliance? How are we supposed to find out what hospital she's in?"

His blank gaze turned into a dark glare. "Well, smart*ss, while you were speaking to the paramedic I used my phone to search the nearest hospitals. There's only one in this area and it's about five miles away." His gaze moves to something behind me and I turn my head in the direction. I was staring at the parking lot and I looked back at Kendall in question.
