Okay, it's one of those double pov's so you know the drill: Drake, Jessica.
Enjoy~ ^_^
I'll Always Be There
I heard a scream. A scream from that voice I knew so well that made my heart stop. Without wasting a second, I ran outside, but before I could reach Drake, someone held me back. It turned to be more than just one person; it was Chunk, Panda and Jack holding me back from him.
"Hold her back!" Caine barked, but hardly glanced over at me. "Take her back inside, and lock her up there until where done! Once you've done that, get back out here and help!"
"Panda," I sobbed. "You have to let me go, Drake…he's hurt."
"Jessica, they're fixing him up," Panda grunted as he struggled to keep me in his grip. I still struggled, but I was weak; so much happened that I could hardly fight off three kids. Hell, I didn't need three kids to hold me back in the first place, Panda with his injured leg would've been enough.
However, all three dragged me back into Coates. I kicked and screamed, but they didn't loosen their grips until they threw me into a classroom and locked me in.
49 hours and 46 minutes to go
But who's counting?
I just thought I'd let you know,
I filled my head with your voice
and now I'm drowning.
Well I wrote this song for you
It felt like ages since they left me in this room. My voice was hoarse from screaming and threatening them to let me out, my hands were sore from banging on the door and my elbow in massive pain from slamming it against the door with my whole body until I just gave up and lay down on the cold ground defeated.
I was defeated, even though the FAYZ didn't take me, it was still beating me down. I avoided the death penalty, but now I'm serving life.
Maybe Drake wasn't too hurt, after all that scream only pierced my very heart with dread. Not as if something terrible happened to the only person, I have left in the FAYZ. The only person…I need to go out more. Too bad my personality kept me from doing so.
"Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners," I groaned in pain as I got up from the floor. I think I might've dislocated my left shoulder, which was great since Coates has an abundance of experienced medical professionals.
I walked over to a desk, sat down and slumped forward, thinking I might get some rest. However, that was cut short when the door opened. I sat up only to be greeted by a shaken up Diana. I grimaced, knowing she didn't come bearing good news.
"Diana." My voice cracked immediately. "What happened?"
She simply grimaced back at me. "Nothing good…Sam hit Drake's right arm with his green flame thing and we had to cut off the burnt part. He's passed out right now in his room, but Jessica, be careful. He's in intense amount of pain and God knows what he's going to be like when he wakes up."
I didn't listen to her as I ran right on past her and out of the room. Even though, I haven't been in Coates for long, it didn't take me long to reach Drake's room.
You can stay tonight and make everything alright.
You can hold me down and tell me that you're right.
Tell me whats it's like to be alone...
I opened the door and stepped in quietly. My eyes took in the unconscious boy, with a stump for a right arm. The bile rose up in my throat, but I swallowed it back. I couldn't throw up here, not now; I had to be strong. At first, I wasn't sure if I wanted to be near him, but I slowly made my way to his side; unfortunately, my vanity kept me at his left side. I wasn't able to confront the stump just yet. It was too much for an already beaten girl.
'Poor Drake' I thought as my hand pushed back his sweat drenched hair from his forehead. Then, my finger trailed down the left side of his face, but I drew back my hand when he started to move slightly.
No, wait, what am I doing? I love Drake, I'm supposed to be here for him in his time of need, not fear him or be repulsed by him because he's lost part of his arm. It's still Drake, I mean…he's still Drake; the same boy who barged right into my life on the orders of Caine and stayed on his own orders. He's the same Drake who hunted me down and was ready to kill me.
'Great choice in guys there' that irritating voice chuckled.
"Yeah," I smiled softly. "I know."
And we had this down...unlike everybody.
Well I'll spend a million nights,
Just like tonight.
You know I screamed your name at the sky,
Until I lost my voice.
Well I'd give my life for you.
I woke up screaming, but not in pain. My screams were filled with pure anger and hatred towards Sam Temple. That bastard caused me pain and he was going to pay for it. I'll make him wish he never crossed paths with me.
However, I felt a slight weight on the stump. I looked down to see a hand, a frail, pale hand. My eyes snapped up to the owner, Jessica. She was still there, standing right there…right by my bed with two arms still intact.
I spat, "What're you doing here freak?"
I saw her flinch, but she stood her ground. "Making sure you're okay."
"Well, I'm perfectly fine," I growled through clenched teeth.
"Don't be a jackass, Drake." She tried to sound confident, but I caught that smidgen of fear in her voice.
"Go away, Jessica. I don't need you." I pulled away from her touch as I got off the bed. With my back to her, I walked to the desk off in the corner and pulled out a gun I kept in the drawer.
"I'm not leaving. Nothing you can do will stop me." She walked forward, but stopped when I turned around and aimed my gun right in her scarred face. However, her scar was not as big as mine was.
My lips curled back in a snarl. "Don't you dare come any closer!"
"Drake," she began, tears pooling into her eyes, but she held her head high. "You've threatened me countless times and I'm still here. You've abused me, pushed me around and I'm still here. You've tried to kill me and I'm still here."
"That's because you're stupid-
She scoffed, "Yes, I am! I could've left you and gone with Sam's group. Hell, I could've gone with anyone because there are so many other guys more sane than you!"
"Good, then go with them now!" I yelled advancing on her, gun held in place. "Go with them so I can blow your stupid little head off later."
"Just do it already!" Her hands were clenched into little tight balls. She looked weak despite the strong, defiant look in her eyes. There were dark circles under her eyes and her cheeks were hallowed out, but she kept her strong stance.
However, I wouldn't back down, not to her. Although, my finger on the trigger was having a small difficulty, it as if something holding me back from shooting at her. "Jessica, just get the fuck away before I hurt you!"
Let's go
"Stop talking about it and do it!" she yelled taking a step towards me.
You can stay tonight...
It was an automatic reaction; I didn't actually mean to pull the trigger. Well I did, but just a warning shot; graze her thigh, shoulder or some other body part. Not actually, shoot her…
At first, I wasn't sure what happened. All I heard was my gun going off, followed by a cry of pain and then, that horrid sound of her whimpering in pain.
"Jessica." I ran to her. She was on the floor, blood soaking up the once white shirt of mine and forming a small pool around her. I knelt by her side unsure what to do to stop the bleeding, since I normally tried to keep the blood going.
The bullet had struck her right under her left collarbone. I hissed, "Damn it Jessica, I said stay away not come closer! Why don't you ever listen to me? You idiot!"
Jessica didn't say anything; her head rolled side to side, while her eyes fluttered open or closed, I wasn't sure. All I was sure about, though, was that I had to get to that healer that was with Sam's group earlier; I had to get Jessica to her quickly and make her heal the wounded girl before making her heal me. After all, idiotic dying people first.
I picked up the slowly dying girl in my arms, not caring about the blood staining my clothes, and headed out of my room.
"Panda," I yelled as I head down the hallway. The boy limped into my view, shaking slightly but I grimaced at him for taking so long when I called for him. "Get the car started, we're heading into town."
"W-why?" Panda stuttered.
"Because I said so," I growled. Panda shrunk back when he finally realized what was in my arms. With a nod, he limped as quickly as possible on out to start up the car.
As I continued my way out of Coates, I walked right past Caine, Diana and Jack. Caine was about to say something, but I avoided looking at him. Jack kept his head down like a good little weakling he was. However, Diana looked like she was giving me a look of sympathy.
My grimace only deepened as I quickened my footsteps towards the car; my main headache right now was the bleeding girl in my arms. Only she mattered. After she was healed, I'll teach her a lesson how to listen, but until then…
I just wanted her alive in my arms again.
You can stay tonight and make everything alright
You can hold me down and tell me that you're right
Tell me whats it like to be...
You can stay tonight (You can stay Tonight)
Make everything alright (Everything)
Cause I'm alright (If you'd stay tonight)
You can hold me down and tell me that you're right
Tell me whats it like... to be alone
Will Drake be able to save Jessica in time? Or will she bleed to death leaving our favorite psychopath alone? Hmmm...
Lol. Okay, I would like to thank Caris, SummerFeally, Armygirl0604 and Valkerie for the reviews! ^_^
Armygirl0604: Yay for updates~ And ^_^ I just started your story and I've got to say, it's awesome so far! (Only on chapter 4, but hopefully I'll be able to finish it sometime today~)
Also, thank you to the ever so wonder Caris for looking over the chapters and pointing out my extreme comma usage. I do believe it's a disease...not sure what it's called, but with your help I just might be saved! Lol, thank for the help though. You are amazing~ ^_^
Oh and before I forget, I do not own Gone or the song, Stay Tonight but Matchbook Romance...OH! Also, I need help picking songs...I have many songs but more than half the time, I can't make up my mind or just can't find the right one. So, if anyone has some suggestions with love songs (because that's an area I really need help on) I would really appreciate it.
Thank you and remember to REVIEW! ^_^
