Chapter 5
John and Dorian looked through Jenna's apartment for an hour to see if they could drugs. But there was nothing. John then went to the living room and saw the bottle of pain killers and some of the pills that were lying on the ground next to where he had found Jenna's almost half dead body earlier. She overdosed, as he realized what had happened. The good news was it could've been worse, but he knew what the bad news was.
"I'm going to the hospital," John said as he stood up.
"Are you sure we shouldn't search a little bit longer?" Dorian asked.
John shook his head. "No. She just overdosed and from the looks of it, there's no drugs here. We might as well lock up and leave."
"I'm coming with you."
John just shrugged as they got their stuff and left the apartment.
John was silent on the ride to the hospital. He couldn't figure what he was going to say to Jenna. He was scared. Dorian was right. He did care about this girl. But what he didn't want to admit was that he and Jenna did love each other. But that was years ago. This love was in the past. Gone. Forgotten. I'm already in love with someone else. I can't expect Jenna to take me back after all these years...after all the years I wasn't there for her. I love someone else and that's the way it has to be.
When they got to the hospital, John stood outside Jenna's hospital room. Looking inside made him scared. There were tubes all around her body. The doctor told Kennex it was a good thing they found Jenna when they did or she might have died. Her body was so weak.
John then walked into the room and stood at the foot of Jenna's bed, gazing at her almost lifeless body.Please don't die, please don't die, please don't die was once again the only thing going through his mind as he looked at her.
Jenna's eyes finally opened. She could barely see who was standing there, but she knew. "John...?"
"Yeah, I'm here." Without hesitation he walked over to her beside and sat down on the chair next to her. "I'm here."
She put her hand out, hoping that he would hold it as she looked up at him. John realized something: he was the only person on this Earth that she had. Everyone else she had was gone. He took her hand and held it. Jenna then turned her head over at the photos that were laying on the table. "I wanted to give those to you."
John took the photos off the table. He couldn't believe. "They're photos...of when we were kids." He looked at them and then looked back at Jenna. "You kept these?"
Jenna nodded, but didn't say anything. John looked down as he saw the blood coming out of her stomach and screamed "SOMEBODY HELP!" as he pushed the blue button and walked outside in a hurry as the doctors came in to see what was wrong with her.
