CHAPTER 10- JADE POV- AT HOAPITAL-
Life; that thing that takes you up and down in a roller-coaster of emotions, but then there's this one moment, this one moment where everything is perfect. I guess we all do this; we do something that we don't like because we know that maybe, just maybe, there's the perfect moment where everything is just how you planned or hoped it to be. Then there are the times when you risk it all over again in hopes of the similar outcomes.
Why do we live life, then? I don't get it, why risk everything for something that isn't certain? And if you do risk it, how do you know for sure that the risk you are taking will end up as something positive? Why do we repeat the same things in hope for change? Isn't that the definition of insanity? Does this mean we don't change?
How about love? Does love help anyone out? If you think about it, love, what everyone is in search for, leaves you at one point or another. Sure, you find love and everything seems to be perfect, but once time wears off, love seizes to exist. Why do we risk love? We lose it anyway, then why look for it?
I feel numb. I feel like I couldn't breathe. I feel like my life could pass bye me and I wouldn't care. I feel like I couldn't do anything. I feel lifeless, helpless, emptiness, anger, scared, and feel no hope. I don't know why I feel like this. Isn't this what life is all about? Having everything you have, everything you've won or achieved taken away from you? When someone dies, they leave everything behind. They leave all material things, all feelings, all knowledge, all the love they had 'found' when they were alive. Years will pass bye and they'll turn to dust, their memory will be gone and all they are left with is nothing. No materials, no feelings, no knowledge, and most of all no love. Then why do we risk it?
I felt a nudging feeling on my right elbow and a light tap on my leg. I looked down at my leg to see what the tapping was, and it was Emily's finger. I just stared at it, but I have no idea why. I look up at her eyes and her brown orbs look right back at me. I can only focus on her eyes though. I feel like there's this connection to her. It's weird, I know, but I can't put my finger on it. There's something different about her. It feels totally different about the way I feel for Beck or Tori, but somehow close. I let my eyes travel to her mouth. They seem to be moving, but nothing is coming out. I guess it's because I'm spacing out and she's trying to get my attention.
"Jade?" I finally hear. All I could do was nod as my eyes traveled up her pale skin to her eyes. "Can we ask you a few questions?" I simply nod and look back at the floor. We were currently waiting for a doctor or nurse to tell us any news about Tori.
"Sure," I whisper, not really feeling like I had a lot of energy to talk.
"Ok, how about if we start with the easier things first?" she asks and I just nod my head again and waited for her to start asking her questions. "Where were you before you came to the police station?"
"My friend, Robbie, was hosting a party, and we came to support him since it was the first one he threw. Let's say that he isn't the kind to achieve at actually throwing parties." I responded without hesitation. I wanted to get this over with so that I could just worry about Tori and whoever else could have been shot at the party.
"Ok, and did you know that your friend, Beck, was going to give the money to the gang at Robbie's party?" she asked another question just as quickly as I had said my answer.
"Yeah, I did." I responded again.
"How?"
"Beck had told me when he was going to give them the money, and he thought it would be better if he gave it to them in a crowded place." I told her. She nodded and spoke again.
"Do you know how much Beck owed?"
"Yeah," I told her and then, to myself, I whispered, "I should know."
"How would you know?" she asked, her head cocked to the side, reminding me of how I cocked my head to the side…weird…
"I helped him with getting him the money." I told her. She nods and writes down something down on her small note book.
"How much did you give him?"
"Two thousand."
"Why so much?"
"Because that was how much he needed. Look I told him I would help, but that I couldn't give him all the money he needed. I gave him the two thousand dollars and he told me that all he was missing was around five hundred dollars when I met with him earlier tonight."
"Where did you get all that money?"
"I took out a thousand from my account and told my parents that I needed another thousand dollars from them so I could do a project and not leave my account empty."
"Then why didn't you get the other thousand? You seem to have the money."
"We have money, but I can't just tell my parents I need three thousand dollars out of the blue. If I could have gotten Beck the three thousand that he needed, I would have, but just because my parents are rich, doesn't mean I'm not. At least not until I'm 18 and I get my trust account."
"If you knew that they were going to be there and Beck could get hurt, then why didn't you tell the police before the party?" she asked. I stopped myself before answering. I could have done that; I wish I had done that, but I knew why. Beck had pleaded with me yesterday not to tell anyone, and I was stupid enough not to tell anyone. I looked at the ground and answered.
"Beck made me not tell anyone…I knew it wasn't a good idea but I don't think I was thinking… if I knew that this could happen…" I looked back at her eyes, and I was sure that if I had any tears left I would be crying right now. I shook my head of the thought and felt like I could tell Emily anything, even though I didn't exactly know her. "If I knew this would happen if I didn't come to the police, I would, I would come running and told everyone I knew that could stop them from doing anything."
"Hey, it's okay, you didn't know anything like this would happen. You were trying to do right for your friend; I get that." Emily told me. She gave me a small smile before turning her head to look at her small notebook in her hands. "One more question, do you know who Andre Harris is?"
My head quickly looked up and a quizzical expression playing on my face. What did Andre have to do with this? Did he get shot? Is he dead? Did they take him hostage? What the fuck happened with Andre?! I couldn't stop thinking, not only was Tori in the hospital, now one of her best friends was brought up in this.
"I do, what happened to Andre? Is he okay? Please tell me he's okay, Tori couldn't deal with the fact that her best friend was dead or shot or anything…" I started rambling. All I saw was Emily nod quickly and write something down and look back at me.
"We believe that Andre Harris is the leader of this gang…" after that I seemed to zone out. How could Andre be part of this, let alone be the one to scam this whole thing. How did Beck not know this?
"Hey, Em." JJ said as she sat down next to Emily and grabbing her hand and intertwining their fingers together. "Jade, do you know this person? This was the other person that was shot other than Tori and by the time we got to ask if anyone knew her they were all shocked and just didn't respond…" JJ kept talking, but, again I zoned out. In the picture was a dead body of a girl. Her body was on the floor with a big pool of blood next to her. The girls yellow shirt was now stained with blood around her chest. Her skin was pale and her red hair seemed to lose its color. I felt a tear slip out of my eye and onto the picture.
"What was Cat doing down there?" I asked almost sobbing. My hands were shaking and I could barely hold my upper body up. I felt all energy, once again, leave my system and let the shock override everything. "Why is Cat in this picture? This can't be, how…" I heard myself go silent and just start crying. This couldn't be happening. How could bubbly excited Cat be dead? I felt a warm pair of arms rap around me. I saw Emily's eyes and I lost it. I crashed into her and just sobbed everything out. I could feel JJ on my other side, her hand rubbing up and down my back.
"Hey, it's okay, everything is going to be okay, just relax and let it all out." I heard JJ say. I did just that and don't remember much else, because everything went black after. When I fell asleep my thoughts were on everything, on Tori and Cat, and how I was going to tell Tori when she woke up. I still couldn't believe Cat was dead, could she be…
OKAY, SO THIS TOOK A LITTLE MORE TIME TO WRITE BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA WHY, BUT I DO HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE IT.
