Chapter 2: What the hell

Jay's POV

Jay was driving to the park about 8 that night for a deal. When he arrived the clients where there yet so he decided to sit on the hood of his newly painted black tricked out Honda Civic.

I wonder if what Alex told me after that bullshit that day in school is true. If it is I wonder if she went through with her plans?

He was snapped out of his thoughts by hearing a woman's shrill scream. He jumped off his car and ran towards the sound. When he got close enough to see who the scream came from his heart stopped. His clients, who he thought were late, were beating and raping a girl. When he saw the girls face he almost died of a heart attack it was his…um...it was EMMA! He yelled out her name causing his clients to drop her and look at him. He walked calmly to them and they idiotically didn't move just stayed there. He walked to the closest man, John, and knocked him out cold. The second man, Tyler, pulled a gun but before he could shoot Jay had out his pistol, aimed, and fired at Tyler's hand. He made sure they were both out cold then ran to Emma. He sat beside her crumpled unconscious form and held her rocking.

"Emma…Emma, baby you have to wake up. Don't die on me. You can't I love you to much!" He pulls out his cell and dials 911 about 10 minutes later the cops and ambulances arrive. The EMT asks what relation he his and he tells them he's her fiancé just so he can go with her to make sure she's ok. From the ride to the hospital he calls Emma's mother Spike.

Jay: Mrs. Simpson? It's Jay Hogart

Spike: What the hell are you doing calling my house I thought I told you never to call or come here again!1

Jay: Mrs. Simpson please I'm in an ambulance with your daughter.

Spike: OH MY GOD IS MY BABY OK?

Jay: Mrs. Simpson please let me finish. I was in the park when I heard a scream I found two men raping her and beating her I took care of them now we're headed to the hospital. She's still unconscious. Please meet us there

Spike: I'll be there right away. Thank you Jay.

2 hours later about 10:30

Jay and Spike are sitting in the waiting room. Spike's cell rings. It's Snake.

Spike: Hey honey

Snake: Any news?

Spike: Not yet

Just then a doctor walks into the room

Spike: Doctor! How is my baby girl! Is she ok?

Doctor: She's got some internal bleeding from the beating she took, and it's clear she was raped. She's in a medically induced coma at the moment. We're giving her body time to heal. If she were awake she would do more damage than good at the moment.

Spike remembers her cell is still on and pulls it back to her ear delivering the news and telling him to just watch Jack for the rest of the night because she'll be staying at the hospital with Emma.

Jay is just sitting there letting it sink in. He's bent over with his head in his hands crying and thinking.

Why couldn't I have gotten there sooner? Why didn't I just kill those bastards. I will. I may have let them go once but I damn sure wont again. I'll get them. Oh god Emma, I wish she were awake and I could speak to her. Hear her beautiful voice saying she's fine.

Spike snaps Jay out of it asking him if he would like to see Emma. He nods numbly and follows her to the room Emma's in. He walks in seeing her laying there looking as if she's in a very peaceful sleep. Her face is banged up. Both her eyes are blackened her nose is broken and her mouth is all busted up. He feels tears silently rolling down his face. He looks to Spike and silently pleads for a moment alone. Understanding she nods and walks out.

Spike: How in the world did I go from hating him to loving him in 2 seconds flat. I guess it's because he just saved my baby's life? I don't know but I see the pain in his eyes. I see his love for her…oh god he loves her? Oh no I'm scare of what's coming next.

Jay: Emma, hi it's me. I'm the one who found you and got you here. I took care of those guys for the moment and will finish it later. I will not leave this hospital until I know you're ok if they don't let me stay in this room I'll always be in the waiting room I'm here when you need me. I love you Emma and hopefully one day you'll be awake and I'll say it.

He sits in the chair leaning forward over her bed and holding her hand. He reaches up and touches her silky hair and cringes when he finds dried blood in it. He walks out to the hallway where Spike is and tells her to go in and he's going to get a cup of coffee and will be in the waiting room.

6 hours later about 5 am

Jay lies sleeping in a chair by Emma's bed. Spike is in a chair on the other side of the bed sleeping. Emma slowly moves her fingers. She feels funny, all sluggish and weak with heavy limbs. She struggles to cry out or move anything but can't. After about 20 minutes of struggling she lets out a strangled cry and wakes up Jay.

Jay: Emma! Emma! Can you speak? Can you move? Can you open your eyes?

In all the commotion Spike wakes up and begins to cry seeing her baby is awake and ok from what she can see.

Emma: with struggling and broken sounds: Waa-tter

Jay: water? Ok runs to the sink and grabs a glass of water bringing it back lifting Emma's head slightly and letting her slowly sip on the water.

When Emma's done drinking she pulls away and opens her eyes a little just enough she can see partially.

Emma: Jay….what…..are…..you……doing…..here

Jay: hearing her still struggling to speak says: I found you in the park when those guys were attacking you. I beat the hell out of them and called the cops. They're in jail for now and you got brought here.

Jay holds her hand tightly while she cries. Spike is standing to the side because Emma doesn't want her near. Emma's tearstained face raises to look at Jay

Emma: Thank you…You probably saved my life.

Jay: No problem really.

Emma: No it's a big deal. Seriously thank you!

Jay: You're welcome.

Just then the doctor walks in.

Doctor: Jay Hogart? There's a policeman outside wanting to speak with you.

Jay kisses Emma's cheek assuring he'll be right back and walks out

The doctor turns to Emma

Emma: I am glad you're awake….I have some bad news for you though….
