Chapter 11: Reveal
**Jordan's POV**
It was only ten minutes after Autumn and Kate left when I got a call from Jason. Shutting off my ITunes, I picked it up, figuring he was just going to ask to speak with Kate. I was right about it being about Kate...
"Jo-Jordan. Thank God-" Jason was gasping for breath. "-you weren't with Kate."
"What? What happened?" I asked, sitting up in the bed Travis had lent me.
"K-Kate..I had called her...and she said something about getting movies at the st-store...then..she, she started to scream.." I froze, stomach twisting. "I-I heard...something..like a bang...or like a bomb..I don't know! But the phone line dropped! I tried calling her back but it went straight to voicemail! Jordan, I'm scared! What the hell happened to her!?"
My breath hitched. What had happened to her? I thought. "I-I don't know...here..stay on the line..I-I'm gonna-" My phone started to ring all of the sudden. It was Autumn. "Wait. Autumn is calling me. I'll call you back."
I answered the other call to hear sirens. "J-Jordan!?" Autumn yelped into the line.
"What? What happened?" I asked immediately.
"C-car crash. I didn't see him coming! An 18 wheeler...right on Kate's side! We weren't even a minute away from the cabin and..." Autumn paused and I heard a muffled voice in the background. Autumn said something back that I couldn't understand.
"WHAT!?" I started to freak out. "Is Kate okay!? Are you okay!?" I asked, seeing Travis and David look up at me from downstairs.
"Y-Yeah, I'm fine...just some scratches..but..." Autumn paused. "Umm...just..just come to the Dallas hospital...right now..and bring David and Travis with you. Please."
Autumn hung up and left me dazed. I didn't even realize that Jason was now on the line until he coughed.
"Um..Jordan?" Jason's voice rang in my ear. "What happened?"
I blinked. "Uh..Autumn and Kate..." I started, gulping, "They w-were in a car crash. Autumn is doing good but..she..she didn't say Kate's condition."
There was silence. I know I'm supposed to be a man and never cry, but that was exactly what I wanted to do. Cry. Just cry. Deciding to hold it in, I waited for Jason to take the news.
"Wh-where in Texas are you?" Jason suddenly asked.
"Um, Dallas. Why?" I asked.
The call suddenly ended. I pushed away from the phone, confused. The situation came back to me and I jumped out of bed, forgetting Jason immediately. I ran down the stairs, almost tripping in the process, and called for David and Travis. They were by me in two seconds, most likely hearing mine and Jason's conversation.
"We have to go. Now." I said, grabbing some keys from the shelf.
**Kate's POV**
I sat in a corner of the white room, giving up on screaming and sobbing at nothing.
BEEP.
I had no idea what happened, despite the last flashback. All I could remember were headlights. That was it. Nothing else.
BEEP.
I sighed and tucked my knees to my face, wrapping my arms around my legs. I sat there in silence, wondering what I did to get this punishment. I looked around with red, teary eyes.
BEEP.
What can I even do while I'm in here... I thought.
I sat there in the silence, trying to pick out what I could about what had happened before I came here.
BEEP.
There were lights, sirens, and..there was a pain in my side. I remember talking to Jason on the phone...something with a car.
BEEP.
Kate stood before an empty wall inside her bedroom, pencil in her hand. Her mom had given her permission to draw on her walls before she left for California. So here she was, standing in front of her blank wall. She started to draw.
First she drew her minecraft character - a girl in a blue and green hoodie with brown hair, blue eyes, and a necklace with a K charm. She slowly started to color the figure with colored pencils. She moved to the next wall. She first drew a creeper and then got an idea. She started to draw CaptianSparklez into the wall, singing while the creeper stood behind him. She wrote down the words 'Dig up diamonds, and craft those diamonds and make some armor. Get it baby, go and forge that like you so, MLG pro. The swords made of diamonds, so come at me bro.' I smiled at my work, deciding not to color it.
BEEP.
Jordan's face suddenly came into my mind.
BEEP.
His voice came into hearing.
BEEP.
He was rapping.
BEEP.
Oh my god, Jordan.
I could feel my heart start to race.
BEEP.
Jordan.
BEEP.
Where was he in all of this?
BEEP.
Jordan..who..was Jordan?
BEEP.
I heard another beep and gasped, falling out of the memory. The beeping seemed to grow faster.
Wait. I thought. I've heard that sound before.
BEEP.
Kate was in the hospital. She was next to her father's room, much like in the first flashback. She could hear this...beeping noise. She looked to her mom.
"Mommy? What is that noise?" She asked her mom.
"It's the heart monitor. It gives your heart rate." Her mom explained.
The scene faded.
BEEP.
That's what it was! My pulse! So..I was in a hospital? But why!? I sighed and stood up, starting to float. Suddenly, I heard a voice.
"Kate..." The voice called my name. I glanced around confused. "I-I don't know if you can hear me..but..I'm so sorry for this. It's all my fault..I should have seen that truck coming." It was Autumn.
Kate could only listen, unable to answer. "I'm sorry, Kate! I'm so so so sorry! Jordan and the others are on their way..I promise...just please, hang in there."
I felt something wet hit my cheek. A tear? I swiped it away, guessing that Autumn was crying. But how could I get cried on if I was alone in a room? I sighed. So many questions. There was a moment of silence until Autumn sighed.
"You looks so crumpled. But...your face is so peaceful. How? What are you doing..." Autumn sighed once more. "I doubt you can even hear me."
I blinked. "I can hear you!" I shouted. "Don't go away, please!"
Autumn continued to speak, until she was cut off by the creek of a door. I heard someone - no, there were 3 people, I think - gasp.
"Oh, thank God you three came..." Autumn sighed.
"Kate!" The voice was familiar, yet I couldn't figure out who it belonged to.
"Maybe we should leave Jordan and her alone for a bit..." I heard David suggest from across the room. I heard some footsteps, the slam of a door, and the pat pat pat of footsteps. Some one sat down, from what I could hear.
"K-Kate...look..I don't even..." A guy's voice came into hearing range. "I don't even think you can hear me but.." The person paused. "..I miss you and you've only been out for 30 minutes..."
"30 minutes!? IT FEELS LIKE 30 DAYS!" I screamed, knowing I wouldn't get a response
I heard the person sigh. "Look at you...I just can't believe it. Why you?"
I blinked, feeling a tear on my arm. I suddenly realized who the voice belonged to. Jordan Maron. I gasped as he said the next words.
"And to think I was gonna ask you on a date when you got home from shopping.." He sniffed and half laughed.
I could feel my heart start to pound in my chest. He was? What? Jordan likes me? No no, that's ...that is impossible..we are only friends...right?
BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP. BEEP.
**Jordan's POV**
I glanced at the heart monitor, which had increased in speed after I had spoken about my plan of a date. At first I thought Holy fuck am I killing her? but then another thought popped into my head. What if she can hear me? I glanced down at Kate.
"K-Kate? Can you hear me?" I gasped. "Kate? I-If you can..I.." You've said this to other girls! Why is it so hard now!? I sighed. "Kate...I think I might have feelings for you...I mean, serious feelings. I can't help but get butterfli-no no no, a stampede in my stomach every time I see you." I confessed after a while of silence. "Just...please wake up soon...please..we are nothing with out you..."
Her hand twitched. No way.
**Kate's POV**
I felt the room spin around me. Suddenly, there was an opening above me that showed Jordan's teary face. Below me was a light that showed nothing. I started to draw near the light, curious as to what it was. As I neared the light, I felt empty inside..as though nothing mattered. I looked back up at Jordan. Beep... his features gave off surprise. Beep... He gasped. ...Beeep... He started to shout something. ...Beep... I looked down. ...Beep... I was halfway into the light. ...Beep... The faint beeps were stressing more and more apart...they became ...Beep... distant.
I glanced up to see Travis, Jordan, Autumn, and David glancing straight at me. They were yelling something. I couldn't make it out. By now, the light was up to my chest. I felt more of the emptiness boil inside of me. ...Beep...
The doctor from the first flash back suddenly appeared in front of me. Your father has gone into the light...young child...I'm so sorry...we couldn't stop him... The words filled my mind. The light...it's DEATH! I gasped, trying to break loose of the light. It was already up to my shoulders. I struggled, wanting my friends, my family, my life. I finally managed to squirm my way out of the tangle of light. I accidentally flew into the picture of Jordan, Travis, David, Autumn, and now...Jason?
My eyes opened and I jolted up, only to be met with pain. At least I was feeling something.. I glanced around to see that I was in a white bed. I looked at all the faces surrounding me. Jordan, David, Travis, Autumn, Jason... I fell back in pain as my arms gave in from holding me up. Everyone looked as though they were in shock.
"Kate!" Jordan finally yowled with glee. "Tha-thank God! You're alive!"
I glanced around confused. "What happened?" I grumbled.
Autumn and the others glanced at one another. Jason stepped forward. "You and I were in a call, and you said something about getting movies...and then...you were in a car crash..."
I gasped, remembering that last flashback. "Jason..I am so sorry. I did not mean to make you freak out like that."
Jason looked at me confused. "How did you know I freaked out?"
"I-It's nothing..." I sighed, looking at my covers. "C-can I speak with Jordan...um..alone?"
I saw Jordan's face light up, showing that he knew exactly what this was about. He bit his lip and nodded as the others flooded out of the room. Jordan pulled up a chair.
"W-when I was...I don't even know..knocked out? I saw all these memories of everything. A-and you were in the second to last one. It was when I-I met you. And the last one...it was of the crash..but it wasn't even from my perspective. It was like I was in 3rd person point of view...it was creepy. But..I was in this white room. I could hear Autumn talking to me..and then I heard you and the others walk in..." I looked down at my sheets. "I heard what you said."
"You did?" Jordan's expression was a mixture of joy and fear. He shot me a sad smile. "I-I'm sorry, you know, if you don't feel the-"
"Same way." I finished. "Yeah, I know." I glanced at my sheets again, face feeling hot.
Jordan tilted my head up. "Kate...I have an important question that requires a very important answer."
I looked at him with big eyes, face still heated as I realized out faces were inches apart. "U-um, alright..."
By now, if this was Travis, I would have guess him to say "Do you know the muffin man" as a joke, but Jordan's eyes were too serious to be compared to Travis. Jordan seemed to lean in a bit as he asked his question, still holding my chin.
"Do you feel the same?" He asked, eyes pooling into mine.
My face grew red. I've only ever dated 2 people...and I was always the one to ask them if they liked me...what do I say!? My mind reeled with thoughts. "I-I...yes..." I finally answered. ((OMFREAKINGG I AM FANGIRLING SO MUCH RIGHT NOW))
Jordan smiled. "Alright..." He started to lean in. My stomach twisted in circles as my heart skipped 5 beats, which I'm sure is unhealthy. I held back the gasp in my throat as Jordan's lips hit mine. It was quick, and it was over before I could register what was happening. ((Like my first kiss lol))
Jordan sat back in his seat, rubbing his neck. His face turned red. "U-um..sorry. I just kinda..ya know..."
I smiled. "It's perfectly fine." I told him.
He looked at me, returning the smile. He leaned in once more to kiss me, but something stopped him right as our lips were 1 inch apart.
"EEEEWWW JORDAN AND KATE ARE KISSINGGGGGG!" Travis's childish yell boomed throughout the room.
I rolled my eyes and Jordan sat in his seat, us both blushing furiously. Jason, Autumn, and David walked up beside Travis. Autumn snickered, camera out. David laughed silently beside his girlfriend. Jason smirked at us, sending a thumbs up to Jordan.
I hid my face under the covers, suddenly feeling tired. Jordan uncovered my face and smiled. "No need to hide, Kate." He said, petting my head. I glared at him sleepily, eye lids starting to droop.
"She's had a long day. Why don't we let her sleep?" Jason asked from across the room.
"I'm staying here." Jordan demanded.
"Me too." Autumn claimed, crossing her arms.
"Me three." Travis mimicked Autumn's actions.
"I'm not." David sighed. "I have to get some stuff done anyways."
"I've gotta see how Dawn and Adam are doing. You can't leave those two in a hotel alone for an hour without something happening." Jason wiggled his eyebrows.
"TMI, Jason!" I yelled, covering my eyes.
"Fine, fine. But seriously. I gotta go check on the two. Bye! I'll come in tomorrow to see how you are doing. Bye bye, Kate. Don't have too much fun with Jordan while I'm gone." He smirked, walking out before I could glare at him.
"Pervert." I growled as he and David left.
Jordan smiled. "C'mon, scoot over. I don't want to be sleeping on the couch or floor." Jordan laughed.
I slipped to the right of my bed and Jordan climbed in next to me. He smiled and tried not to damage any part of me that was hit, which was most of my right side. Instead of hugging me, he just held my hand. I rested my head on his shoulder, drifting off to sleep.
"Ey, Autumn, you wanna cuddle like that?" I heard Travis ask.
"Pervert." Autumn laughed.
With that, I drifted off into a dreamless slumber.
