Be My First 2 - Together Forever

Chapter 10 - Accident

Jack's POV:

I sat at home on the couch. Nights like this were lonely without her. Sammy's not here to start a party, and Jack is with his family.

I sighed and put my head back.

My phone started ringing. It was an unknown number, so I was expecting to hear a fan answer.

"Hello?" I said.

"Is this Jack?" It was a man, so I wasn't going to hide anything.

"Uh, yes it is. Who is this?"

"Jack, it's John. Paige is in the hospital. This is really serious and I think you need to come down here, immediately."

I hopped up as fast as I could. "Um- which hospital?! I- what happened?!" I grabbed my hoodie and my keys and ran outside, nervous as hell. My heart was beating way too fast.

"She was at the airport.. Apparently some construction worker dropped his hammer. It fell on her head.." He sniffed.

What the fuck? I was livid. "Oh my god.. Which hospital?"

"Bergan Mercy." He said.

"On the way."

"Okay, thank you."

I got in the car as fast as I could and started speeding. I've never had so much anxiety in my life.

I was angrier than usual at the slow cars. I don't think I went the speed limit the entire way there, and I'm lucky I didn't get pulled over.

After I arrived, I ran inside and to the front desk.

"Uh, do you know where Paige Holland is?"

"Are you a friend?"

"Boyfriend."

"Third floor, room 110."

She looked really concerned, and it was scaring the shit out of me. I ran to the elevator and pressed the button. It was taking forever, so screw that. I went to the stairs and ran up until I reached the third floor. I was completely out of breath, but still ran until I reached room 110.

I slowly walked in, breathing hard. My eyes were locked on her. Her beautiful hair was tangled, she had blood on her face, and her head was wrapped in a white bandage. She was hooked up to a couple machines. I swallowed hard, and looked at her parents. Her mom was crying, and her dad was covering his face. A doctor sat in a chair right next to Paige. Once Amy saw me, she stood up and ran in for a hug. I was still in shock.

"Is- is she going to be okay?" God damn. I was trying so hard not to tear up. My eyes were set on her.

The doctor looked at me.

He shook his head. "It's not easy to tell right now. We need to wait for her to wake up, and I'm predicting that won't be for a while."

This was Cameron all over again, but 10x the pain.

I ran my fingers through my hair. John pulled up a chair for me to sit in, right next to Paige.

I sat down and set my face in my hands. Amy patted my back.

I looked up. "Who did this? I want to know."

She shook her head. "It was an accident."

"I don't care." I said. "I want to know."

"Her name is Melany. She's had 35 years of experience. Her wrist gave out. She fell."

"I don't understand.." I said.

"She died."

My heart sunk. I shook my head.

"You're a lucky family. It could've been much worse." The doctor said.

I nodded.

Paige started coughing. Everyone turned her attention to her.

Paige's POV:

Ow.. What was on my head? I reached for the top of my head, but someone stopped me.

"Is it okay if I ask you just a few questions?" The man asked. I think it's a doctor.. I squinted.

"Uhh, sure?"

"Do you remember your name?"

"Paige Holland?"

"How old are you?"

  "18?.... What happened?"

"What's your phone number?"

I told him. Now what the hell is happening?

A boy in the room shook his head.

"That's her old number."

I stared at him. Is that Jack Gilinsky?
