Chapter 10
[Part
two
Nick stared at the body before him, his hand linking with the bloody one lying limply next to the body. His eyes began to rain his sorrow once again as he felt that almost lifeless limb within his grasp.
"God, please hear me know." Nick began to pray. "Please don't take her away from me. Oh God please, I'm begging you not to let her join you just yet, please…please I can't lose her, not now, please not now."
"Hey what's that kid doing back there?" The driver asked the other person in the front seat.
The woman turned to the driver and then back at Nick who now had his eyes closed tightly and holding the girls hand to his face. She sighed and turned to look back at the road as they were nearing the hospital.
"He jumped in before we took off, everyone deserves to have someone there before they die right?"
"Who said she was going to die?" The driver said as they pulled into the hospital and pulled by the emergency room. The woman gave a nod and they got out and went around to the back opening it up and asking Nick to please remove himself so they could get the girl out of the ambulance. Nick pulled himself into a standing position as he got out of the ambulance, following behind the two as they rolled the girl in through the emergency doors and doctors began to pull her into a room immediately.
Nick stood there, his gaze fixated through the glass, at the girl whom he had shared so many memories with. The girl, who had showed him that even if he was famous, he could still, be normal. The girl who sacrificed many school days, just to help him. Which soon brought her to join an independent study program just so she wouldn't lose out on weekly school attendance and instead only attend class once a week, just so she was able to help him study his course work. The girl, who saw him, as Nick Jonas, her best friend, not Nick Jonas, one of the Famous Jonas brothers, who wrote music and looked cool. The girl he had ignored because he was scared he would lose her. Which at this moment, he knew, was probably to worst mistake he ever made. Because of him, his best friend was now laying on a hospital examination bed, getting CPR, because her heart beat just stopped, and he was about to vomit from the exertion of it all.
He slumped against the floor.
I can't…this can't be happening. Why? WHY! I …I can't lose her, the one friend who I've kept for so long, the one person other than my family who genuinely cares about me for who I really am.
God…heavenly father, if you are listening, if you are up there right now…please heed my call for help. My best friend is in there right now, and she is on the path towards you right now, and I am asking you…please turn her back around, turn her back to us. She's not ready to join you…for the last time…I'm begging you, please…I can't lose her…we… here on earth…can't let her go…not yet…
"Clear." Another shot was surged through the young 17-year-olds body. "Okay set, give her the oxygen mask."
Nick jumped up into a standing position as one of the doctors came out and he turned to look back through the glass at the body, the doctors now moving the bed out of the room with a machine.
"Let's get her to a room, get her an IV and some blankets, for crying out loud clean up the wounds. She'll need pain killers, maybe some Vikoden." He heard one of the woman doctors say as they moved her off through the hospital.
Nick stood frozen where he was and turned towards a commotion as he heard the nurses flustered voice. He moved down the hall to the emergency room doors where the ambulance was still parked outside and saw his two older brothers hassling the nurse to see if a 15-year-old boy had arrive in the ambulance.
"Nick!" Joe turned towards the boy who was looking strangely at them. "Thank God you are okay."
"Where is Bee." Kevin asked as they let go of their brother from a tight embrace.
Nick looked down at his shoes, which caused Kevin's heart to sink.
"She is…all right…she's alive, right?" Kevin began to panic. "Nick…where is she?!"
"They just took her out of the emergency room and took her to another room, she's breathing…" Nick said softly.
"Come on, let's sit down, I'll go call mom and dad." Joe said, as he made his brothers sit down in the emergency waiting room and walked outside to call his mom.
"Mom? Yeah, it's Joe…we found them…she's alive, that's all we know right now, yeah, yeah Nick's fine…Kevin is too…okay…yeah. It's the one Nick was taken too…yes. Yes we'll see you when you get here."
Joe entered the building again and they went to the regular waiting room as they waited for their parents and the girls to arrive.
About a half-hour later, the rest of the Jonas family, along with Miley, Neely and Bobbie, entered the waiting room and joined the boys in waiting for more information. Mr. Jonas talked to two doctors the first half-hour they were all there, and after a good four hours, another doctor came out.
"Bridget is stabilized, and currently in a mild state of coma, or in other words, a heavily sedated sleep. Only one person can come in right now."
"Nick, you should go." Miley said, urging him to go see his best friend.
"I...I can't." He began to cry again and Miley tried to comfort him but he pushed her away and turned his back to her.
"I'll go." Kevin stood up. The doctor nodded and led him to the room where Bridget was laying in a hospital bed and let out a sigh of relief to at least see her alive. Kevin entered the room and immediately walked over to her bed, taking her hand.
"Dammit Bee, don't go driving off like that again." Kevin whispered, as a few tears rolled down his cheeks. "You could have…we could have lost you."
The family waited, for several more hours, some half-asleep over one another. Joe was talking with Neely as Kevin had went outside to be by himself for a while. Bobbie Jean followed him out after a while, finding him sitting on the curb. She walked over and sat down next to him.
"Hey."
"Hey." Kevin said softly.
"It's not your fault."
"Yeah… I know…I just feel bad I said all those things earlier." He sighed.
"You were very brave in what you did you know." Bobbie patted his hand which he unexpectedly took into his own and held. She let out a flushy smile and looked at him.
"Thank you." He looked up at her with a small smile.
"For what?"
"For being here, for everything."
"What did I do?" Bobbie asked confused. "Cause whatever it is I'd sure like to know."
"For being here tonight, for joining our family at dinner…for not hating me for all the shit that went on." He gave a sad smile.
Bobbie Jean turned a bit so she was facing Kevin now and took his other hand. "Now you listen to me, Paul Kevin Jonas the II." She gave him a small grin but was serious. "I couldn't ever blame you for what you did, or said, Bee's life wasn't in your hands."
Kevin could only nod.
"It was her who left the house, maybe it was fate…if you wanna get all religiolical on it."
"Religiolical?" Kevin chuckled.
"Yeah." Bobbie smirked. "Hey I happen to like my strange vocabulary okay!"
"Okay, okay!" He said defensively. "I didn't say I was making fun of it."
"Good!"
Kevin smiled and leaned forward placing a kiss on Bobbie's forehead.
"What was that for?" She asked a bit shocked.
"Making me feel better."
"You are such a sap." She said jokingly and he just shrugged.
"What can I say. I'm a hopeless romantic." He chuckled.
"I didn't say I was complaining." She smiled, and he leaned in and placed a soft kiss on Bobbie's lips. She began to kiss him back, and his hand reached up from her hand to her cheek and he caressed it with his thumbs.
"You are so beautiful…and not that popular, gorgeous glam beautiful." Kevin said softly as he pulled away from the kiss. "You are that shy, inner and outer beauty, crazy, awesome and amazing."
Bobbie chuckled at the use of wording. "Thanks…I think."
Kevin let out a small laugh and pulled her close into a hug, and just held her for a while as they waited for someone to come out with any new NEWS.
