Chapter 5

No ones POV

3:00 pm

Later that day

Henry awoke from his well needed slumber with a groan. His eyes instantly snapped open when he realized that he needed to watch Charlotte, He glanced at his watch and it was 3:00 in the afternoon! He quickly stood up over Charlotte's bed making sure she's still breathing on her own. Henry grabbed Charlotte's slightly cold hand and rubbed it between his warm hands. He looked around to realize that Ray isn't in the room anymore.

'Where is he?' Henry thought. He also noticed that he and Charlotte are in a different room too. Henry hears the door open to see a dark skin women who looked similar to charlotte.

"Did you sleep well?" The women asked nicely.

"I did actually. Have you seen my friend his name is Ray?"

"Oh he just left around 15 mintes ago. I'm Doctor Kelly"

"Oh okay. Thank you." Henry responded slightly confused. But Henry was glad she was safe under 24 hour surveillance, He stood there as the doctor Kelly checked Charlotte's vitals.

"Charlotte's heart rate and blood pressure is almost normal, but from the recent trauma to her body, it will take a while for it to go down. It's normal if shes sleep for the next couple of days. Do her parents know about her being at the hospital? I called the next of kin last night and they didn't answer I left a voicemail to both of her parents."

"No they don't, I actually called them last night too they also didn't answer. They are on a business trip but I did leave a voicemail." Henry didn't tell her the whole truth her parents are actually on a business trip but they don't really care about the wellbeing of Charlotte. They're not even her birth parents, she was adopted at an early age. Henry was furiated with her parents, he didn't understand why they would leave a beautiful girl by herself.

"Oh okay that's good, but if her vitals stay stabilized for 48 hours she can be released within the week. But the police will have to make a report with Charlotte, when she wakes up hopefully." Doctor kelly said softly looking at charlotte in a way, Doctor Kelly know she looks familiar she can't pinpoint it.

"What if she doesn't wake up?" Henry asked as he felt a knot form in his throat.

"If she doesn't wake up in the next 48 hours we will have to induce her in a coma." (A/N:I don't know how this really works so don't @ me.)

'A coma!' Henry's mind twisted .

"A coma?" He tried to keep his voice down but he couldn't.

"Yes if it occurs we need to let her body heal from the almost fatal wounds. And she also has a major concussion, so when she wakes up she might have memory loss."

Henry couldn't believe what he was hearing. 'What if she doesn't remember me?' He thought .

"So if she does have memory loss. Do know what would be forgotten?"

"Sorry sir, I can't determine which memory would be lost. But I assure you that I will give her any help that she needs." Doctor Kelly assured Henry. His mind was more at ease now. Doctor Kelly felt a connection with the unconscious girl she didn't know it but there was something.

Charlotte's POV

I snapped my eyes open to see a bright light, I quickly shut them at the brightness. I took a deep breath and I smell the familiar scent of Jasper's basement. I opened my eyes again to see jasper stalking towards me his face clearly angry. NO! I will not let him use me!

"You BITCH! You snitching ass went to the cops! Who do you think I am? Did you really think that i would let you go that easy? You got another thing coming' I will find and hurt everyone you love even little ol' Henry." Jasper taunted me. I flinched at every threat he yelled at me. I started crying as I tried to move away from him I ended up in corner I always hide in and where all the bad unexplainable things happen.

"No,no,no,no…." I muttered to myself. This can't be happening i made it to Junk N' Stuff to find Henry. How did I get here again?? My breathing increased as Jasper moved closer, the anger in his eyes was pumping fear in my veins.

"I won't let you hurt anyone! " I stammered fear evident in my voice. Now my whole body was shaking in fear. As moved closer to my face.

"Oh but I will hurt you." Jasper sneered. He lifted his fist ready to punch me I flinched

Henry will never know the love I have for him. But I will die happy knowing that he and my friends are safe.

"I love you Henry." I whispered as my world faded to black.

No one's POV

Charlotte's blood pressure began increasing which set off the monitor. Henry looked at charlotte she began shaking violently, Henry doesn't know what's going on, he saw Doctor Kelly rushed in with a swarm of nurses,

"Doctor what's going on?" He asks frantically.

"Her brain activity is showing some kind of mental distress." Doctor Kelly explained as she rushed to Charlotte's side trying to lower her heart rate.

"I need you to leave the room." she told Henry strernely, she gently pushed Henry out of the room.

"But- bu- why?" He asked as he was being pushed out of the room.

"We need to try and save your friend Henry." she said and slammed the door shut in front of his face Henry turned around defeated, his thoughts racing.

'Will she be okay?'

'Will she remember me?'

'What if she didn't make it?' Henry stopped pacing around the empty hallway.

'If she doesn't survive, she won't know.' henry stopped breathing for a second. Sadness filled his chest he began panting every breath he takes he can feel his airway closing.

'No charlotte is going to make it. And if she doesn't we have a major problem.'

Then it clicked, "If she doesn't make it (even if she does) then that means Jasper is responsible which also means I have to get justice for her. I dont care if I have to go to prision for his murder." Henry muttered to himself, luckily no one way in the hallway with ears because that would be awkward.

Anger flooded through him, he stormed to the waiting room and slumped himself in a chair. Henry rested his elbows on his knees holding his head in his hands, in his mind he counted down from 10 like his mom would tell him before. He reached for his phone in his back pocket to call Ray to see if he can pick him up, Ray said sure now he's in the man cave. Henry explained everything to Ray from his suspension on Jasper to his feelings for charlotte and how she was having a seizure and might be in a medical coma.

"Thats alot to take in kid.So you're telling me that you love charlotte, and you also think that Jasper caused her condition AND that she might be in a coma."

"I don't think I know. But yes to all." Henry said camly. Henry has never told anyone about his feelings about charlotte. Henry's heart was still racing praying to every deity that he didn't get that call. He called the hospital 3 times in 2 hours it is now 5:00 and they still haven't given him any information on Charlotte's progress. They told them that she was still in the ER and they will contact him when she was in her room.

After a few minutes of silence Ray spoke up,

"I'll check out jaspers file." Ray stated as he sat in the chair by the large computers.

"Wait you believe me?" Henry asked becoming hopeful.

"I need to see for myself." Ray said as he cracked in the police database. Henry's cest filled with a new sensation. Faith.

9:00 pm

Jasper stormed into his house expecting a neat house. Instead he walked into a messy kitchen and living room. Drawers opened. Cabinets empty. His refrigerator open. Jasper stalked his way into the basement.

"CHARLOTTE! Didn't I tell your ass not to mess with my shit upstair….." Jaspers words died on his lips. He looked in his basement to find no trace of Charlotte.

"Where's that whore?" Jasper muttered to himself as he searched his house. He came up empty.

"I need her! Fucking BITCH!!" Jasper yelled his booming voice echoed through the house.

"I will find you little bitch." Jasper muttered angrily.
