No Matter What ~ Jackxpenn

Chapter 12 - Don't Leave

Jack POV

Oh my god. Jenn was in a coma. I didn't know what to think. How?

Andrea paused to take a deep breath before continuing, "She was depressed.... She cut herself and lost too much blood because her body can't clot fast enough.... Jack... How could this happen?" She said, tears silently rolling her cheeks.

I honestly didnt have an answer. I know Jenn as a smart, beautiful and happy girl. What could have gone wrong? What made her crack? I hope I didn't do anything that made her do this. I would never be able to live with myself if I knew I caused this.

I couldn't imagine my happy Jenn Jenn cutting herself. She must have been really upset.

I just hope everything is okay. But I know that there's not always a happy ending; and that's what scares me. I remembered what my grandma told me once when my grandfather passed away when I was only 6 years old.

Grandma? Why do the worse things always happen to the best people?
Well, when you go into a garden, which flowers do you pick first?
The most beautiful ones, Grandma.
Exactly.

I was just praying that Jenn would be okay. And that's saying something, being I never go to church. I know I don't believe in God, but please.... Help her. I know she's a fighter, but I'm scared. I'm scared to death. I'm scared that I will never again get to feel her lips on mine, feel her arms wrapped around my neck, or have her wake up next to me. I don't know what I would do without her. She's not only my best friend, she's my rock. She can't leave me; not without me by her side.

I looked at Andrea, with tears forming in my eyes. It couldn't end like this. I reached out and hugged her. We just sat there, hugging and crying.

"Excuse me? You two are friends of Jenn right?" The doctor said.

Andrea looked at me, and I nodded. "Y-yes, sir," I said, expecting the worse.

"Oh great! Jenn is in stable condition now. She is welcome to see visitors," he said, smiling slightly at us, while still maintaining his serious tone.

Andrea and I looked at each other, as the doctor left, going back into the hospital wing.

"Jack... You go first, I can wait," Andrea said, helping me up.

"A-are you sure?" I said. I really wanted to see her, but I didn't want her best friend to not be able to see Jenn too.

"Yeah, go ahead..." She said.

I went to turn by back to go into the hospital but Andrea's voice stopped me, "I know you love her Jack... And she loves you too, even if she won't admit it," she said, smirking slightly.

I nodded, and headed back into the hospital. I was nervous. I knew she was stable, but only for a short period of time. I took a deep breath walking down the hallway to her room. My heart felt like it was beating out of my chest. Once I got to her room number, 254, I bit my lip, paused, and opened the door slowly.

My mouth dropped open as I looked around at all the machines and monitors. I didn't know where to step, afraid of ruining anything.

Watching my step, I made my way to the brown fabric chair beside the bed.

Jenn was so pale. She was skinny and breathing hard. Despite the many IVs and machines attached to her, she still was beautiful. I reached out and brushed her bangs out of her eyes. Her skin was cold. I reached out and grabbed her hand. I held it up to my lips and kissed it.

"Jenn Jenn, I'm here... Jenny... Please don't leave me... I need you to wake up... What did you do to yourself?" I whispered, praying she would wake up.

Just then, I saw it. Her scars. I lightly turned over her hand, revealing her wrist. The five slices in her skin made me cringe. Her skin was raw and cracked from scabs that had formed over the cuts. I wondered what had sent her over the edge. I bent my head down and kissed her scars; one by one.

Suddenly, I hear her make a slight noise. "J-Jack...." She whispered, so quietly I could hardly hear her.

"Jenn Jenn, I'm here," I said, gently squeezing her hand.

She shifted slightly in the hospital bed. As if she was fighting something, or having a nightmare.

"Jenny.... It's okay," I whispered.

She fluttered her eyes open weakly. She mumbled something I couldn't hear and turned to my direction.

"W-who are you?" She whispered weakly.

My heart dropped to my stomach. Oh my god. I was taken back. Did she not remember me? How could this happen?

I held her hand, and said softly, "Jenn... It's me, Jack. Your best friend, your boyf-" I stopped myself. Why did I keep calling myself that?

"I'm...I'm sorry... I don't k-know a Jack..." She said, softly taking her hand out of my grasp.
