Shhh...It's a secret. (Jc Caylen Fanfiction)

Chapter 14

Brayden's POV
"Wait what do you mean she's in a coma?!" Chase says as he starts scrambling to get up.
I quickly walk over followed by the nurse, and hold him down. "Chase you can't get up."
"Ow!" He screams, and winces. "Dammit!" Chase slams his hands down and pulls himself back on the bed.
"W-Wh, what happened?" Chase questions the nurse standing by the table.
"The crash, she hit her head. Head injuries can cause the brain to swell and/or bleed. When the brain swells as a result of trauma, the fluid pushes up against the skull. The swelling may eventually cause the brain to push down on the brain stem, which can damage the RAS, a part of the brain that's responsible for arousal and awareness. I know it sounds scary but, we have the best doctors around and they have already brought the swelling down."
She had explained all this already to me when I had threatened to stab her earlier if she didn't tell me what had happened to her, uh yeah I'm kinda dangerous.
Chase started to cry, and I mean cry. I walked over and hugged Chase trying to soothe him.
We sat there and cried, cried, and cried, until our eyes were out of tears to cry.
"Can I see her?"
"Tomorrow."
I gave him one last hug and left. I walked down the hall and into two big doors. Inside was a few glass rooms, one that contained my best friend. I crept to the door, unable to enter.

The hall way was cold, as usual.
"What am I doing here?" I questioned myself. I slid against his apartment door onto the ground. Footsteps sound on the hard floor, someone's coming. I look up and I see Jc. He freezes and stares at me.
"Sorry," I scrambled to get up but, as I walked by he grabbed my arm and pulled me to his lips.
Those soft lips that I have miss so much. He drops the bag in his hand. Jc reaches up and holds my cheeks, and I wrap my arms around his neck.
Why is something that's so good, be so bad?
He pulled apart yet still centimeters from my face. "Please, please. Don't leave me."
Tears threatened to escape my eyes as he intertwined his arms around my waist, and embraced me into a hug.
"Hey, hey. Come on. Let's go."
We walk into his apartment and he sits down on the couch next to me.
"Tell me." His stern eyes almost piercing my skull.
"It's everything. You and Devin. My world is falling apart. And no matter what I do I can't fix it. It's like the game jenga, I try to get rid of the unneeded things but it just keeps putting weight on top."
"Well you know I'm no go at sappy speeches to make things better, but I just wanted to say I'm not a problem. Because you will never lose me. I will be there for you no matter what you do or what I do. I want to make a promise that when one of us screws up the other will wait for them to get it together and fix it."
I nodded. He stuck his pinky out, obviously wanting me to pinky promise. I stick my pinky out and with his other hand he snakes it around and pulls his lips tight against mine.
Tears fall from my face, yet I can't tell if they are happy or sad tears. He lays back and I follow. Not letting go.
Eventually we just lay there and allow our bodies to fall limp as we sleep soundly.
