Young Love Murdered

Chapter 9.

{Jason's POV}
Why?

I was so confused. Why'd she do it?
Were fighting one minute and then she's trying to fight for her life.
After the fight she ran. I wanted to tell her everything. Something was holding me back. I went after her but as soon as I got to her, she was lying on the road. Blood had splattered everywhere. Her leg was badly broken and her face...

I wanted to bawl and faint.

Police came after I had found her.
The driver that hit her drove off leaving Alexi in the dust.
I couldn't sleep. I didn't want to sleep knowing she would die any second. Her parents drove to the hospital. They were in such a mess.
Their little angel covered in blood.
I felt like them. Heartbroken.

I wanted to see her. Fighting so hard. What happened that night I wouldn't forget. It hurt. She's hurt. And it's all my fault that she's in this mess.

I entered the quiet hospital.
It felt abandoned, almost haunted in a way. But I had to see her. I just had to. The kind ladies at the desk led me straight to her. I closed my eyes. I didn't want to be broken inside the first glance. They sat me down next to her.

I opened my eyes.
And there she was.
I could feel tears stream down my face.
Her pale skin and ginger hair.
Her left eye was bandaged and swollen. Her leg was in a hammock and swinging slowly.
Her soft breathing made me feel horrible inside, remembering it was my fault she's this way.

Her one green eye opened slightly.
She was in pain. I knew it. It hurt.
"J-J-Jason?.." She said softly.
I could barley make words.
"Lexi..." I managed to say. The tears were coming down harder.
"Whats... Going.. On?.." She said quietly.
I felt that if I talked, it would hurt her more.

I kissed her lips softly.
I didn't want to leave her side.
I wanted to stay with her forever.
We would just stay. I touched her soft pale skin.
To my surprise she had the energy to wrap her arms around my neck.

It made me cry even more.

I released and stared into her eye.
She stared into my eyes.
She let go of my neck and laid her head down on her pillow. The world was in slow motion. I grabbed onto her hand before she fell.
No.. No please...
They stood me up and took me out of the room. I wanted to go back.
I escaped from the nurse's arms and tried going back.
I was held back by two security guards.
"NO!!" I yelled. I slashed around trying to escape but they were too strong. I dropped to my knees.
They dragged me out of the hospital.

"Keep fighting, my little angel." I whispered to myself. "Please."
