Self Destruction Is Such A Pretty Little Thing

Chapter 14

Recap: "We NEED to go back...NOW!" Tears threatend to fall from my eyes. The boys all had concerned looks on their face. We ran out of the cafe and all piled into Danny's car.

-------Jessica's P.O.V-----------

I didn't wait for thecar to stop or pull over, as soon as I saw the house I flung the car door open and jumped out.

"JESSICA!" I heard the boys scream, but I ignored them. My main focus was on Annabelle, and Annabelle only. I jumped over the gate that led towards our house and barged through the door. I checked the living. She wasn't there. I checked the kitchen. She wasn't there. I checked the backgarnden. She wasnt there. I ran back into the house and sprinted up the stairs, if im honest I think I missed a few steps. As soon as I got to the top I checked my bedroom. But again she wasn't there. Finally I walked into her bedroom, I spotted her phone on her bed. I picked it up and saw all my miss calls. Where was that girl! I scanned the room but when my eyes reached the floor I saw little droplets of blood. 'Oh no!' I thought to myself. I followed the trail of blood and it led me to the bathroom door. It was closed. 'Oh god please say she's ok' I slowly opened the bathroom door and stood there. I wanted to cry, I wanted to be sick.

There she was, lying on the cold floor, eyes closed, she looked dead. My eyes fell on her wrist....you couldn't even see skin, you could just see blood. I rushed over to her and placed her head in my arms and just cried. I placed the tips of my fingers to the bottom of her neck. Oh thank god, she was still alive. For now.

I heard the front door slam.

"Jessica, Annabelle?!" It was Ben.

"STAY DOWN THERE!" I screamed back, I couldn't let them see her, maily because I knew she would feel ashamed if anyone had seen her scars. Questions where screamed back up from the boys such as.."Is she ok?" "Have you found her?" "Whats the matter?" and "Why cant we come up?"

"JUST PHONE AN AMBULANCE AND SAY IT'S AND EMERGENCY!" I screamed. I just sat there rocking, holding Annabelle in my arms. Untill I took another look at her wrist..I need to stop the bleeding, I didn't want to leave her. I gently scooted over to find a top I had left in here from this morning and ripped it. I reached up, turned on the tap and let the ripped peice of clothing becomd damp. When it had,I wrapped it around her left wrist. I then repeated this but wrapped the other piece of clothing around her right wrist. Where was that bloody ambulance!?

-------------------Ben's P.O.V--------

I desperatly wanted to know what was going on and I'm sure the other boys did aswell. But most importantly I wanted to know why an ambulance was needed. Sam walked into the kitchen after finishing the phone call.

"What did they say?" I asked

"They said that they are on their way!"

"What on earth is going on up there?" Cameron asked. We shrugged

"I think the best thing to do is remain calm and when it's sorted Jessica will explain." Danny suggested. So we sat and waited for the ambulance to arrive.

----------Jessica's P.O.V---------

The sound of sirens rung in my ears, I looked up with hope. Why did I go, Why didn't I stay. I couldn't help butthink that this was all my fault. I knew I would have to tell the boys what had happened. I was snapped out of my thoughts by Ben shouting me.

"Jessica where are you? The paramedics are here"

"Bathroom!" I heard footsteps make their way up the stairs and two paramedics appeared at the door. One of them bent down beside Annabelle.

"She still has a pulse, I already checked!" I said informing the paramedic.

"Can you tell us what happened!" He asked. I told him that I didn't know, I told him I was out with the people downstairs and I tried phoning her but she didn't answer so I came back and found her on the floor in the bathroom,

"What are these?" He asked poiting to the teared up clothes around her wrist.

"Oh her wrist was covered in blood, and the blood was still coming from the wounds" I had to tell them about her self harming. "She has been self harming for a long time so I think thats what happened" The other paramedic made his way down the stairs.

"Ok and can you tell me her name please"

"Annabelle Jones"

"She probably lost a lot of blood and thats why she had collapsed" He suggested.

"Is she going to be ok?" I asked, worry in my voice

"It's hard to say but we do need to get her into the hospital, you can travel in the ambulance with us" I nodded in agreement. Not long after the other paramedic came back with a stretcher. They placed Annabelle onto it and made their way out of the bathroom.

As they carried the stretcher down the stairs we seen all the boys standing at the bottom in shock and when they seen Annabelle on the stretcher, their faces showed shock and worry. They carried Annabelle out to the ambulance.

"Jessica, what happened?" Ben asked

"Get in Danny's car and follow the ambulance, I'll tell you once we get to the hopsital" I said.

After about a 5 minute journey, we finally arrived in the hospital. They had placed an oxygen mask on her and explained that she will need it. At this point I was terrfied. Was I going to lose my best friend?. Once inside they got her into a room, they said I couldn't go in and that I had to wait in the waiting room. One minute passed and the boys burst through the doors, I stood up and signaled for them to come to where I was.

"Why are you out here?" James asked

"They said I couldn't go in! Guys what if I lose her?" I started to cry, Danny came over and pulled me into a hug and I just cried into his chest.

"Come on now, don't think like that,sit down, calm down and ready tell us what happened"

-------1 hour later----------

"And then I found her in the bathroom, wrist covered in blood...Thank you" I said as Sam handed me a cup of water. I looked at each othe the boys. Ben had both of his hands over his mouth in a praying position, James had his head in his hands, Cameron was looking down at the ground and Sam had his arm around Ben.

It seemed like we had been there for hours untill a doctor finally stepped out of a room followed by nurses.

"Annabelle Joans?" He asked whilst looking around the room. We all looked up and rushed over to the docotor.

"How is she, is she going to be ok?" I asked concerned. Danny placed his hands on my shoulders.

"Well she lost alot of blood from the cuts so we are giving her blood, apart from that she should be ok!"

"Can we see her?"

"At the minute only family can see her"

"Please Im..We are all she's got, her parents died in a car crash when she was nine and her auntie moved to Birmingham. Please" I can't believe I had to BEG to see my best friend. The doctor just sighed.

"Fine, two at a time. She's in room 3" We knew which two was going first. Me and Ben. The other boys went back to the waiting room and me and Ben made our way to room 3
