Everything seemed to slow down. The guy I love was shot. I was panicking and hurting on the inside. I reached up to my face and realized that I was crying. Jenny, Kaylynn, Alannah, Carla, and Fai all gathered in and hugged me. They knew how I was feeling.
"What happened?" I managed to choke out.
"We were standing in the park just talking and this guy came up behind us. We didn't know he had a gun until James was already hit. As soon as it happened the guy ran off and we called 911." Fai was hurt. I could tell.
"Was the guy caught?" I asked concerned.
"Yes he was. The guys explained to me that it was the same creepy guy that looked like he was about to kidnap Carlos earlier." Fai didn't sound happy. No one was happy right now.
"So he really was a criminal. Oh nevermind. He's in jail now where he needs to be." I say taking my attention away from the man that shot James.
"Do you guys want to go to the hospital with me?" Fai asks us.
"Yes!" All of us shout at once. We run out of the room and into Fai's car. It was a tight fit but we didn't care. We were in a rush to get to the hospital. When we walked in we found the guys in the waiting area with a doctor.
"Will James be ok?" I ask on the verge of crying again.
"We aren't sure yet. You guys can go visit him one at a time." The doctor told us.
"I'll go first." I really wanted to see James. I had some business to take care of.
Fai's POV
I watched Jamie leave the room so she could go see James. I knew how important it was to her. Kendall, James, Carlos, Ali, Alyssa, and Aileen all went down to the cafeteria to get some food. I decided to talk to Carla, Alannah, Jenny, and Kaylynn.
"What do you think Jamie is doing?" I asked them.
"I don't know but I still want to go kill that bitch. If only I could get her into a dark alley alone." Carla pulls out her knife.
"PUT IT AWAY! YOU'RE NOT KILLING HER!" Kaylynn shouts.
"Fine! You guys take the fun out of everything." Carla pouts.
"Hey guys. Is James ok?" Our friend Destiny walks into the waiting room. She is Carla's and Logan's other sister. She's the sensible one. She makes sure Carla doesn't do anything stupid. Who knows what kind of mess she would get into without her sister.
"We aren't sure." Jenny responded.
"That really sucks. I just hope he's ok." Destiny is trying to keep her calm but it looks like she could lose it at any given moment.
"I wonder what Jamie is doing right now." Alannah wondered out loud.
"Me too." Everyone else said.
Jamie's POV
I walked into James' room and cried at what I saw. James was hooked up to all sorts of machines. I couldn't stand to see him like that. I walked over to him. His eyes were closed. I gently stroked his hair. His eyes fluttered open.
"Hey Jamie. It's really nice to see you. I'm glad you're here." James said lightly.
"I can say the same for you." I really hoped that didn't sound too cheesy. James laughs softly.
"It sucks not being able to leave." James looks at me.
"Yeah I know it does. But can I tell you something? I tried telling you earlier but I couldn't do it at the time. But I know I have to tell you or I'll go insane." I tell my best friend.
"Anything. I was wondering what you were going to say earlier." He smiles at me.
"This is really hard to say. I hope this doesn't change anything between us." I look at him sincerely.
"Why would it change anything?" James asked me curiously.
"James…I love you." I tell him with every bit of emotion I have. He looks at me and doesn't speak for awhile. What was he thinking? This was awkward. I shouldn't have said anything.
"I love you too." James says and grabs onto my hand. OMG this was actually happening. I should have told him earlier. We let the moment get away from us. I leaned in and kissed him passionately. Then I heard a gasp. I turned around and saw Aileen staring daggers at me from the doorway.
