THE HOSPITAL

I watched in shock as they propped the stretcher up. Next to Jacob was a boy about his age, crying. I looked back at Jacob, his face was bloody and bruised. One of his legs looked wrong and his arms were also had bruises. As the paramedics pushed him to the ambulance, I followed. When I jumped in the ambulance behind one of the paramedics, they both looked at me.

"Miss, are you related to the boy?" One of them asked.

"Yeah, I'm his sister." I replied. Before they shut the doors of the ambulance, I saw Kara and Miley. "Meet me at the hospital." I shouted at Miley. She nodded at the as the doors shut and we drove away. I held one of Jacob's hands as we rode to the hospital. The paramedic that was in the back with us was trying to get Jacob to wake up, but Jacob was knocked out cold. The paramedic assured me Jacob would be fine but I didn't believe him, Jacob looked bad. Someone had beat the shit out of him and I was going to find out who.

When we reached the hospital, we were met by a doctor and a nurse, both male. The doctor and the paramedics ran Jacob into the ER while the nurse walked me to a waiting room.

"Miss can you tell me the patients name?"

"Um..." I couldn't think. I just wanted to be with my brother. "... his name is Jacob Truscott. He's twelve years old and he's allergic to penicillin."

"He's allergic to penicillin? Did you tell the paramedics?"

"Oh... No. I forgot."

"I'll be right back. I have to let the doctor know, just in case." I stayed seated . There was a tap on my shoulder, it caused me to jump. It was just Miley and Kara, and the boy from the skate park who was crying.

"Why is he here?" I questioned.

"He said he was a friend of Jacob's. He asked if he could come along and I said sure." Miley answered as she took the seat next to me.

"Do you know what happen?" I asked the boy. He looked like he was about to cry again.

"Yeah." Was all he said. The nurse came back in before I could get him to say more.

"Miss, Jacob has to go in to surgery for his broken leg. He's going to be fine." He walked away again. I turned towards the boy. A few tears ran down his face.

"Tell me everything you know right NOW!" I demanded causing the boy to cry more. Miley took my hand and held it.

"Calm down Lilly. You heard the nurse, Jacob is going to be fine." My other hand clenched in to a fist.

"He would be just fine if this didn't happen to him." I looked back at the boy, he had stopped crying. "Have a seat," I pointed at the chair across from me. "Why don't you start with your name and how you know my brother." The boy sat down and cleared his throat.

"My name is Frankie Parker. I met your brother at the skate park a few days ago. We um..." Frankie looked down at the floor. "We kissed." He finally said still looking at the floor.

"So you're that boy I saw him kissing that day. He said he never could find you."

"Today was the first day I've seen him since we kissed." I nodded my head.

"So what happen today?" Frankie took a deep breath.

"I was sitting on a bench, waiting on some kids to leave because they don't like me being there."

"Why?" I asked. Cutting him off.

"Well it's not a big secret that I'm uh gay."

"Oh I see. Continue."

"Well anyways, I was waiting for them to leave when Jacob came and sat next to me. I explained to him why I was just sitting there and told him he could go skate if he wanted to. He said he didn't want to because he had a run in with those guys yesterday."

"Woah wait." I said, cutting him off again. "What did he say happened yesterday?"

"Well he said he was asking around for me and when he got to these guys they broke his board and told him 'fags' weren't allowed at 'their' park." Frankie's eyes started to tear up again. Miley still was holding my hand and was now rubbing my arm with her other hand.

"It was weird," Frankie continued. "As soon as he finished, the other guys came up to us. There were five of them. One said 'Hey Frankie, is this your new boyfriend?'. Jacob stood up and balled his fist and he said 'What's it to you if I am?'. The boys all laughed and yelled out 'Fags!'. I tried to stop him, but he was angry. He... he punched the other boy and the next thing I know all five of them were on top of Jacob. I didn't know what to do so I screamed. A lady and man came up and the boys ran away. I guess the lady called for the ambulance." Frankie started to cry again. I let go of Miley's hand to go console Frankie. As I did so, I looked around the waiting room and noticed it was empty except for us. Kara had been sitting in front of the t.v since she arrived but I could see tear stains down her face. Poor kid had no idea what was going on. All she knew was her big brother was hurt.

An hour later, we were still the only ones in the waiting room. Kara and Frankie had both fallen asleep and Miley looked like she was about to go to sleep. Sleep was the farthest thing from my mind. I wanted to see Jacob so bad I was thinking of ways to sneak past the nurses and doctors. Just as I started thinking about crawling in the air ducts, the nurse from before came in.

"Miss, Jacob is in recovery right now. He is doing fine but he's still unconscious. You can see him though, if you like." I stood up quick and followed him to Jacob's room. Jacob didn't look to much better . They had cleaned the blood off his face but new bruises were surfacing. They had his leg propped up and in a cast. I went over to the side of Jacob's bed that didn't have all the machines. I took Jacob's hand and began to cry.

"Hey J-bird. I'm really sorry this happened to you. Some people are just so ignorant." Jacob laid still as I spoke. His monitors were steadily beeping. They told me he was going to be fine but he wasn't waking up. I wanted him to wake up. I scooted a chair up to the bed and sat down. I took Jacob's hand again and cried myself to sleep.

I was awoken by a nurse who came in to check on Jacob. I had no idea how long I'd been asleep but I noticed it was really dark outside.

"Um excuse me, nurse. What time is it?"

"It's fifteen minutes till midnight." She answered, then left the room. I stood up and looked Jacob over. Nothing had changed so I decided to check on Miley, Frankie and Kara. When I found my way to the waiting room, the only person I saw was Miley. She was laying across a couple of chairs, passed out. I didn't want to wake her but as soon as I opened the waiting room door she popped up.

"Oh hey Lilly. How's Jacob? I tried going back there but they wouldn't let me because I'm not family."

"Nothing has changed. He's still unconscious. Where's Frankie and Kara?"

"Oh I took Frankie home , and I dropped Kara off at my house. My dad said he'd keep an eye on her, but I can go get 'er if you want me to."

"No, no that's fine. She doesn't need to be her any way. Thanks for taking care of her."

"It's nothing. Have you told your mom yet?" I shook my head and sighed. I knew I needed to call my mom and tell her, but she would freak out and fly straight back here and chew me out.

"I'll call her after Jacob wakes up. Maybe I can get more out of him then what Frankie told us."

"I can't believe a bunch of kids could be so cruel."

"Everyone is cruel, Miley. People are probably judging you right now over those pictures."

"They are. Speaking of those pictures, my dad thought it would be a good idea to go public so it doesn't look like I sleep around." I looked at Miley shocked.

"What do you mean 'go public'?"

"I mean let people know we're a couple. All we have to do is walk around holding hands or you know some sorta PDA or ..."

"Whoa wait a second. We're not a couple."

"But Lilly..."

"No Miley. What we did was a mistake. I never want to do it again."

"What changed?" Miley asked in a whisper.

"Jacob getting beat up is what changed. Those kids nearly killed Jacob because he was gay. I don't want that to happen. I want to be normal."

"Lilly, nothing will happen to us I promi..."

"No Miley! Don't promise me anything. I don't even want to see you anymore. Just drop Kara off here in the morning." Miley's eyes were filled with tears. She ran out of the waiting room. I knew I broke her heart but I wanted to be normal. I didn't want to be the molested lesbian that had an abortion.

AN: Okay this chapter was really hard for me to write for numerous reasons. I got through it though. Now I need to write the next chapter so I have no idea how long it will take me.

I would also like y'all to know that this story has totally taken a turn. When I first began to write this story it was all planned out in my head. It was suppose to be based off of a song I fell in love with but when I was writing all the words were just flowing. So anyways I have decided that I might write Miley's point of view of all this in a different story, but that of course all depends on my fan. I want at least five people to tell me it's a good idea before I start.

Thanks to all of you who have reviewed.

LOVE YOU ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
