Handle It

Back To Reality

Nick's P.O.V.

All I could think was, im about to die. I just stood there quietly waiting for London's dad to speak. He kept looking from me to a lifeless London visibly upset.

He looked at London one more time before directing his attention back to me. "What is this about you dating my daughter?" He asked calmly but cold.

"Me and your daughter used to date sur." I say holding my ground. As intimidating as he is, I refuse to let him intimidate me. I love London and if that means letting her dad know about our relationship then so be it.

"Joanna do you hear this nonsense." He asks turning to his distraught wife. Wow! Does this man even care that his daughter is laying in a hospital bed fighting for her life?

"David why does it matter. London might be dying and all your concerned about is who she dated. Do you even care, do you!" She raises her voice getting out of her seat and walking over to her husband.

"Of coarse I care about my daughter but I also care that she's been lying to us and dating that boy behind my back." He says pointing and looking at me in disgust. What is so wrong with me and London dating. I don't get it.

"You know what, I want all these people out of my daughters room." He demands.

"What!?" I shout surprised by what he just said.

"You heard me, now take your friends and get the hell out of here." He dismisses me.

"But Mr. williams were all here for Lon-"

"I dont want to hear it Isabella, now do as I said and leave before I get security to remove you."

Before any of us can say or do anything Mrs. Williams slaps Mr. Williams hard across the face. Ouch! You can just feel the pain of that slap, im happy London's never slapped me like that.

"How dare you! Our daughter, our baby is in a hospital bed almost dead and you want to argue and kick out the people who love her. You are a heartless bastard who needs to grow the hell up and just be here for your family."

"Joanna if you ever put your hands on me again I swear..." Mr. Williams threatened his wife.

"Hey! Don't you ever talk to me daughter like that." London's grandad spoke up defending his daughter. This is getting out of hand.

I turn my attention away from the fuding family and focus it on London. She looks so helpless laying in that bed. I love this girl with all my heart and my soul. I can't lose her, life just wouldn't be the same without her. She's all I think about when I wake up and before I got to sleep, hell I even dream about her beautiful face, soft caramel skin, her heavenly smile and harmonious laugh. London is my world and I cant live in this world without her. A tear escapes from my eyes as I grab a hold of her cold hand.

"I love you and im sorry for everything, just please dont leave me." I kiss her forehead.

Beeeeeeeep.

Im pushed aside by doctors and nurses.

"Everyone out now!" A nurse shouts and then we all are pushed out of the London's room without any idea of what's going on.

As soon as im in the hallway I punch the nearest wall and let out all my emotions. For the first time since my dad died I break dowb and cry.

***********

I hit the freezing cold water that felt like a billion needles stabbing at my flesh. The water swallowed me whole and I struggled to get back to the surface. No matter how much I kicked or moved my arms I still couldn't seem to make it to the surface, I guess this is what fighting for your life feels like. All I could think about was all the mistakes I've made recently, I ruined me and Nick, I played with Chase's feelings, and I tried to take my life. I still don't understand what made me do those things to everyone I love and now I might never get the chance to tell them all how sorry I am. I continued to kick my feet and move my arms and was finally able to make some progress, but the closer I got to the surface the more water began to fill my lungs and the harder my fight to live became. Memories of my family and Nick begin to play in my head as I fight harder to make it to the surface. I refuse to die! I finally make it towards the surface and see this bright light, a light so bright that it's almost blinding. I reach the surface and take a deep breath letting my lungs fill with the air they needed, before I can survey my surroundings the blinding light takes over my vision as I hear voices calling my name.
