Sean got in his truck and drove to the hospital. Once he got there he ran inside as fast as he could and tried to find Manny. It took him almost a half an hour because he was just running around everywhere trying to find her. Manny told Sean that Emma was in critical condition which meant that she was probably in the critical condition area but Sean of course wasn't thinking of that. He was on the third floor of the hospital and getting out of the elevator when he saw Manny.
"Manny!" Sean yelled to her out of breath.
"Sean! Where have you been? I called you almost an hour ago." Manny questioned him.
"I know I know. I ran around this whole place looking for you. It took me forever to find you." Sean said still out of breath. "So how is she?" Sean asked with a sad look on his face.
"She's well I don't know. The doctors haven't said anything to us yet." Manny said looking down.
"Well what happened exactly?" Sean asked Manny.
"Craig found her. He was on his way to the train tracks and I guess he goes the back way which is why he was in the back of the school. Anyway, he found Emma lying on the ground unconscious which blood coming from her head." Manny said.
"Did she slip and fall on something?" Sean asked.
"Sean it's not winter. There is no ice or anything to slip on. But when the paramedics took Emma away Craig continued to look around. He saw a broken bear bottle smashed into pieces everywhere. Actually there were several bear bottles and many of them were broken into large pieces. Then he found a rock with specks of blood on it." She paused before speaking again.
"What?" Sean said in an angry tone.
"Let me finish Sean." Manny said. "Listen when we got here all the doctors would tell us was that Emma had bruises are on arms from someone holding her too tight. They also said that she was pushed to the ground and got glass stuck into her head. It was a fairly large piece too. They aren't sure if she hit her head on a rock yet though." Manny said with tears filling her eyes.
"Manny…" Sean said trying to hold the tears in himself.
"Sean I'm scared. She's my best friend. The only one who has been there for me through pretty much everything. Sure we have had our ups and downs but that's just like you and her. And look at you two. You are perfect." Manny said hugging Sean and crying in his shoulder.
"Shh Manny it'll be fine. Emma's a strong girl. Everything will be okay." Sean said trying to comfort his friend even though it was hard. He was beginning to doubt that things would be fine.
After they pulled apart from their hug Sean spoke.
"Manny I know who did this to Emma. I told her to stay away from Jay but she didn't listen. I am going to find him. I'll be back as soon as I can." Sean said and then left the hospital.
He looked for Jay at the ravine and he found him there. He was sitting by himself drinking as usual. Sean walked up to him and started yelling at him for putting Emma in the hospital.
"Dude. Chill out Cameron." Jay said laughing a little.
"Chill? Chill? You want me to fucking chill? Jay you put my girlfriend – the best thing that's happened to me and the only thing I have in this world in the fucking hospital. She's in critical condition. Jay all I want to know is why? Why would you do something like this? You are capable of hitting a girl but putting her in the hospital. What the hell is wrong with you?" Sean yelled.
"I didn't do anything. You have no damn proof Cameron so back off. And your precious girlfriend eh? She's my damn girlfriend not yours. Who did she make out with and who did she have sex with Sean?" Jay asked but he wasn't really looking for an answer. "Yeah that's right me. Not you Sean. And if she was your girlfriend we would have broken up a while ago." Jay said laughing.
"You're right Jay. She did have sex with you and she did make out with you. But she kisses me too and with more passion than anything you have ever experienced in your life. And she loves me Jay. She loves me. Her loving me is enough. With you it's sex making out and more sex. That's not love. It's not even close Jay. And the only reason she is still going out with you is because I told her too. I didn't want you to try and hit her like you did outside the other day. I figured if she kept going out with you until I got back she would be fine but she's not. You hurt her so bad she's in critical condition. You are the biggest asshole I have ever met." Sean said.
Before long they were both punching the crap out of each other. The fight was so intense and violent that someone at the ravine called the police. In no time the police arrived and had to pull Jay and Sean off of each other. All bloody and bruised. However they got lose of the officers' grip's and went back to fighting each other again. Once again they got pulled off of each other but after they both hit each of the officer's in the face by accident. Then they were put into the police cars. Separate ones of course though. Once they arrived at the station they were put in jail cells on account of fighting and accidentally hitting officers.
At the hospital the doctors told Mr. Simpson, Mrs. Nelson, Manny, JT, and Toby that something is wrong with Emma's brain. She might not remember who they are when she wakes up. It could be temporary or permanent. They don't know yet.
At the police station Sean and Jay each get to make one phone call. The officer on duty told Sean that he could call someone first followed by Jay.
He calls Manny's cell.
"Hello?" Manny said into the phone.
"Manny it's me." Sean said.
"Sean where are you?" Manny asked.
"I don't have long to talk. But listen to me. I am in jail. I went to find Jay and well I did. We got into a fight and the cops had to come and break it up. We weren't exactly cooperating with them so we got put in jail." Sean said and was about to go on but Manny spoke.
"Do you need bail money or something?" Manny questioned him.
"Yes. I think it's a thousand dollars. But how is Emma doing?" Sean asked.
"Not so good. Sean she might-" Manny started to say but was cut off. She heard the officer tell Sean to give him the phone.
"Miss his time is up. You can come by tomorrow and bail him out around noon. Goodbye." The officer said to Manny and then hung up.
Next was Jay's turn. He decided to call Alex.
"Hello?" Alex said.
"Lexxi it's Jay. I need help." Jay said getting straight to the point.
"What do you need help with now?" Alex asked him.
"Long story so I will just get straight to the point. I am in jail and I have a one thousand dollar bail. What do you say?" Jay asked.
"What do I say? Well how about no Jay. I am going to have a fucking baby. My parents kicked me out so now I live on my own. I can't even afford to feed myself so how the hell do you think I can afford to bail you out?" Alex said angrily at him. How dare he ask her this?
"Lexxi come on. Please. Do it for me?" Jay pleaded.
"No Jay I can't. I'm sorry. I'll ask Towerz for you." Alex said and then hung up the phone.
At least Towerz could possibly bail him out. I mean he did owe Jay for that when Towerz was in jail so it might happen.
The next day Manny bailed out Sean.
"Sean." Manny said.
"Manny you came." Sean said surprised.
"Why wouldn't I have? You are my friend and Emma's boyfriend." Manny said.
"I know but how did you get the money?" Sean questioned her. He felt bad.
"Oh um I told my parents about you being in jail. Well actually I told them about how Emma is in the hospital and how you beat up the person who put here there. They told me that I had to use some of the money I saved up to go to that fashion school in LA but it's worth it." Manny said smiling a fake smile. Truth is she worked to hard to earn all of the money she needed. She finally got all of the money but then lost a thousand dollars of it because of Sean. But he was a friend in need so it was all worth it.
"I feel terrible. Manny you've worked really hard to get that money. I swear I will pay you back. Mark my words on that. I swear to God I will pay you back." Sean said giving Manny a hug.
Then the two of them went to the hospital. Emma was still sleeping or unconscious when they got there but Sean still wanted to go see her.
"Emma I know you can't hear me right now but I love you. And I know you are a strong girl. You will get through this I know you will. If it makes things any better I got sent to jail and so did Jay. I knew he was the one who did this to you even though he is denying it. I beat him up real bad. I am pretty bruised too but I will manage. I love you so much Em. I always will." Sean said and then felt Emma's hand shake.
