Everything I Do: I Do It for You
Chapter 21: Leave Love Bleeding
Don't you remember anything I said when I said, Don't fall away and leave me to myself Don't fall away and leave love bleeding in my hands, in my hands, in my hands again…
Courtney looked out her review mirror and saw Jason's car
"Oh dear God, that is so not what I need right now." She said to herself.
She kicked it and was now going 93 MPH. He soon sped up and was right behind her again. She flipped rocks at his car. He wanted her off the road. He drove up beside her and rolled down the window yelling "Courtney! Calm down! Pull over or something!" but she just flipped him off and sped up again. He got behind. Her trying frantically to figure something out that would make her stop. He hadn't been paying attention and when He looked up, Courtney and swerved off the road because ahead there was a car that had somehow lost control. Courtney got out of her car seeing that Jason hadn't realized it yet and covered her mouth and let out a scream. He tried to swerve off the road but didn't get off so safely. He hit a light pole. For Courtney, it was as though everything stopped in that moment, except for the sound. She heard the tires screaming, glass breaking, and a sickening feeling came over her when she heard the metal conforming to the shape of the pole. She stared motionless for a moment. And then she ran towards him. She had to save him. When she got there, she almost collapsed. He was slumped over the steering wheel; eyes eerily open, with blood coming from the corner of one eye and from all kinds of cuts on his face. She yanked on the door, barely getting it open since the metal had bent the hinges, and she pulled his unconscious body out. The driver of the other car had put it in the ditch and now ran up to see what happened.
"Oh shit! I'll call an ambulance!" he said as he arrived.
"Tell Them To hurry!" she screamed at him. Then she returned her attention to Jason. One of his eyes had no white left in it, it was entirely bloodshot, she wiped the bloody trail from the corner of it, and then held his head to her chest, sobbing by now.
" Please Jason, you can't leave me now, don't leave love bleeding in my hands!" she cried.
Soon the ambulance showed up. She begged the paramedics to let her ride with him, but they pushed her away. She stood frozen as she watched the ambulance getting farther and farther away in the distance. Then the rain started. She closed her eyes and remembered their day at the lake. Then, she got in her car and drove to the hospital. As she was driving the song Angel by Sarah Mclachlan came on. She could hardly breathe as she drove. What had she done? She may have just killed the best thing that had ever happened to her, her last hope at escaping everything. She pulled into the parking lot and ran threw the doors, ignoring all the nurses trying to help her or tell her to slow down. She ran to the ER and saw him being rushed through, his eyes now closed, still bleeding, an IV hanging from his arm. She started to follow them but the doctors stopped her and told her to go wait in the waiting room. She couldn't be that far from him. She slid down the wall right outside the doors, one knee bent the other extended in front of her quivering body, she ran her fingers through her hair and just cried, there was nothing else for her to do. She couldn't help him. She couldn't save him from what she'd done no matter how much she wanted to. Weakly, she slid against the wall and leaned on another wall extending from the other one. Before she knew what was happening she had exhausted herself with sobs and fell into a deep sleep. Unconsciously she prayed that Jason wouldn't do the same.
A/N: I'm sorry this is short but I just thought that the chapter needed to end here. Not quite what you expected eh? Well please R&R!
