"Jade? Jade! Please, say something!" Beck screamed "No. No! Please, God, no!"
Beck screamed. Tears ran down his cheeks. He quickly turned to the side of the road and jumped out of the car. Began to run to the black car in the ditch. he saw broken glass and blood.
"Oh my God!" he screamed.
Saw her. She was lying with her head on the steering wheel, her hair was covered with blood. She had glass in her arm and a large gash on her forehead.
"Jade? Jade, can you hear me?"
She didn't answer.
"Please, say something! Please! I beg, God!"
But she still didn't answer. Beck took the phone out of his jeans pocket and called 911.
"Hello, here is the 911 telephone operator. How can i help?" said the woman on the other side of the line.
"Hi, I'm Beck Oliver and my girlfriend Jade had an car accident. Please let someone come to help her. She is dying"
"Okay, Beck, calm down. Can you check her pulse?"
He did what the woman asked for.
"Is! But very weak."
"Do you know what street you are on?"
"I don't know but we are next to the hotel Californian Beach"
"Okay, listen up, Beck. Ambulance is already going. Can you stay on the line?"
"Ok"
Beck doesn't remember exactly what happened next. As if someone had erased those moments from his memory. The ambulance arrived, He heard screams. Saw how they resuscitate Jade and took her to an ambulance. The man asked him if he wanted to go with her. He doesn't even know why he agreed. The only thing that kept him aware was the touch of her hand. He held her tightly. The ambulance reached the hospital. the nurses screamed, the men took her and started running to the ICU. Someone told him to wait in the waiting room. And has been sitting there for 5 hours. The sun had already begun to rise. He's very nervous. He'll never forgive himself if she dies. She couldn't die. Not his Jade.
"Beck Oliver?" the woman with dark skin and black hair call. She was young she was about 30 years old. He guessed she was the receptionist.
"It's me" He got up quickly from his chair.
"Jade west is in surgery. could you please contact her parents?"
"Of course"
"Thank you" the woman went and he was alone again. Took the phone and called Mr. West.
"Hello, it's Tom West. How can I help you?" said a stern voice
"It's Beck Oliver. Your daughter's boyfriend. Jade had an accident"
"What?!"
"She is in Los Angeles community Hospital. The doctors ask you to come"
"I'll be there in a moment" Mr. West said and hung up.
Beck sighed. wondered if Mr. West would be furious with Jade. He didn't like a man. He was always cold and stoic. Jade often visited him after fight with her father. Mr. West didn't like Jade. Her earrings, black clothes and behavior. It was because of him that she had problems with self-acceptance. Once Jade was a happy, nice girl. She liked dolls and pink dresses. She had a whole happy family. Everything changed when Jade's parents started fighting. She was only 8 at the time. One day after a very loud fight, Jade's mother came to her room she mumbled an apology and left. She never saw her again. Jade did not understand then why mother had left her. She was still a child. She blamed her father for it. That day she decided she would never cry again. Decided to start wearing black clothes. a year later, she made herself earrings. She started doing dark makeup. She was malicious and arrogant. She knew her father wouldn't like it. And that's why she did it. Later her father met her stepmother. They got married and had a baby. Jade liked Jack. It wasn't his fault he was born into such a fucking family. Now the boy is 9 years old. He admires Jade and loves to watch him play or sing. Even though they are half siblings they love each other like a real brother and sister. Beck met Jack. One day when he was taking Jade out on a date, he opened the door for him. The boy was cool. He had Jade's brown hair and her eyes. He was funny and a bit malicious like Jade.
"Beck Oliver?" someone call him.
Jade's father. He was wearing a black suit, his face serious.
"Where is she?" he asked.
"Good morning, sir" Beck said "They took Jade for surgery"
"Shit! She can't hold his butt in place!"
Beck couldn't hold it.
"Jade almost dies and you blame her for everything instead of supporting her! You never support her! All her life she is lonely. Because of you she grew up without a mother! You ruined her life!"
Beck sat down on the chair. his face was red with anger.
"I'm sorry. I know I ruined her life. It's all my fault. I know. After Stella left, I was devastated. I turned my back on the world. I got up from bed in the morning and thought about it when I would go to sleep again. I was depressed. After a month my father told me that if I don't change I will achieve nothing. He told me that I was pathetic and would get nothing. I decided to change. Forget about marriage. I started working a lot. I was working all the time. I became the best employee. I soon got a promotion and the position of chief director. I have become unpleasant and serious. I have turned into my father. He always raised me strict and without love. As later I raised Jade. When I got married to Ana and gave birth to her child she was raised Jack. But she and Jade never liked each other.
Beck don't replied. He had never thought of it that way. He always blamed mr. West for everything.
"Jade's family?"
"It's us" Beck and mr. West shouted at the same time.
"I'm her father" Tom said.
"She's out of surgery. She's in room 317 in the ICU. Everything went fine. A few broken ribs and a slight concussion and external bleeding. Luckily there were no complications. She's still asleep, but if you want you can see her"
The nurse looked at Beck.
"Are you her brother?" she asked.
"No, I'm her ex-boyfriend"
"You can't go there"
"Why?"
"You're not her family. Only the family can attend the ICU"
"Please-"
"I'm so sorry. But i can't allow you go there"
"I have to see her!"
"I''m so sorry"
Mr. West looked at him with sympathy and followed the nurse. Beck was alone again.
His phone rang suddenly.
"Hello?"
"Beck"
"Cat" Beck groaned. He don't talk about Jade. He knows the Cat and knows that the cat is very sensitive. She will can't handle that news.
"I can't get on the phone Jade. do you know where she is? I know you broke up but I'm very worried about her. She wrote to me last night, then suddenly stopped answering my questions" she said.
"Cat, where are you?"
"At Tori's house. We made pancakes for breakfast because I stayed at Tori for the night" Cat chuckled happily.
"Cat, can you give Tori the phone?"
"Kay kay"
"Hi, Beck, what's the matter?"
"It's about Jade"
The intensive care unit is ICU? I don't know if I wrote it correctly. In Polish is it OIOM (OdziaĆ intensywnej opieki medycznej) so if it's wrong I'm sorry. Thanks for reading! Soon the next chapter!
