Chapter 20

A/N: The next chapter will be the end! This chapter MIGHT be short, but thats cause I really want to start typing my new story! You guys are really gonna love it!

I was frigging scared. Marissa was fine a few hours ago, and now she could almost die! God, I'm such a bad friend. How could I let this happen? I'm so... stupid!

Right now, me, Casey, Holly, and Billy were at the hospital. Marissa seemed... so limp. She looked peaceful, like nothing was wrong and she was just sleeping. I just wanted her to wake up!

What if she never does?

"Sammy?" I heard voice, breaking me out of my thoughts.

"Huh?" I said looking around, confused.

"You okay?" I recognized the voice. It was just Casey. Duh, Sammy! Who else would it be?

"Yeah. Just shaky..." I said wearily.

"I know what your thinking." Casey said, wrapping his arm around me.

"Well, I'm not thinking it..." I had no idea what I just said. That made absolutely no sense.

"Sammy! For the last time- it's not your fault Marissa got hurt." Casey assured me.

"Yes, it is. I should've done... something. Anything!"

"Like what?"

"I don't know. I should have been suspicious about him, or whatever. I should've noticed that he was... I don't know, um... HOMICIDAL!" I shouted the last part. I was tired, afraid, mad, and sad. My best friend... Oh my God! I don't even want to think about it anymore.

"Maybe he wasn't trying to hurt Marissa. Maybe it just... happened."

"Nothing, 'just happens', only if your drunk or high. But if I would have checked out his background, I would've known that he was a drunk and a crack head." I said bitterly.

"Sammy! Stop blaming yourself. This would've happened either way!" Holly said, butting into the conversation. I forgot that she was even here.

"Yeah, Sammy! Stop blaming yourself. Just think... positive. Marissa will be alright, and she's definitely pressing charges." Billy said too. I forgot that both of them were there. They were so quiet. Well, until now.

"She better, or I'll kick his butt myself!" I muttered.

"I don't want you near him!" Casey said, a little too aggressively.

"Then you do it!" I said smirking at him.

"Uh..."

"Exactly!"

"Im not afraid of him, it's just that..."

"Uh-huh..."

"Wait, Im trying to think of a good excuse. Rude!"

Okay, that made me laugh. Well first it made me giggle, then chuckle, then the more I thought about it, I completely burst out laughing. And laughing. And laughing... until the receptionist told me in a not-so-polite way to be quiet. Geez, rude!

"Miss Keyes?"

I turned to face the doctor. Oh no. This is it. He's gonna tell me to say my final words. Marissa is dying. Oh God. I can't go through with this.

"Ye-yes?" I stuttered, nervously.

"Uh, Miss McKenze is..."

Oh great. Here it comes. I closed my eyes waiting for him to say the final words that will shatter my world forever.

".. going to be okay. She has a fractured bones but in a few weeks she'll be better." the doctor said smiling at us.

"Can we see her?" Holly asked.

"In a few hours..." the doctor said considering his words.

"Great. Thank you." Casey said and the doctor left.


Casey's POV

I knew Sammy blamed herself. I remembered the way she ran out of the hotel to Marissa's. It was surreal. Totally unbelievable. I cant believe Kenny would do this. He seemed like the perfect boy. Well kind of.

Here we were, in a hospital. With Sammy muttering to herself, about it being her fault. With Holly, worriedly pacing around the waiting room. With Billy, sitting still in the chair. Looking solemn. With me, tired and holding a shaking Sammy.

This must be really hard for her. She hasn't seen Hudson, her grams, her mom... It was something, you would see in movies. Where everyone would just leave a persons life. Like just walk right out, and never turn back.

I wonder if Sammy felt that way. She was always so brave. But now, she was shaking. She was like 5 year old, scared of leaving her mom to go to kindergarten. It was cute, but Sammy never acted this way. She never did. She cemented a fat gangster to a wheelbarrow. How many 'brave' people do you know that would do that?

No one. Thats because Sammy is different from most girls. She's way too smart and beautiful to be going through this.

She really deserves better. Maybe she should go move with her dad...

Who knows, maybe she will. Sometimes I feel like, I don't deserve her.

I looked at her, shaking in the hospital chair, muttering to herself. It wasn't right. It really wasn't.

Her life has been so hard. I know about her cases. I know about her putting her life in danger almost every month. I want her to stop, I don't want to find her in an empty dumpster like those cats she found before her 13th birthday.

I would be completely heartbroken. I couldn't even imagine life without Sammy. She was literally my everything. I needed her. She's like my rock. She keeps me from falling apart.

Okay, too cheesy.
