Love Me Tender, chapter 11

"Jon! No, Jon, don't leave me! Please don't leave me..." Brendon was slumped over Jon, his head bowed, clutching Jon's hand. Brendon was shaking a lot, and crying. He cried as if every person that he loved had left him.

When in fact, no one had left him yet.

We were in the hospital, and the steady beeping of the monitors surrounding Jon gave Brendon a beat to cry too. Ryan was also slumped over Jon, his bowed head grazing Jon's chest. Nikki stood behind Brendon for a while, but then she slumped down and wrapped her arms around him.

I sat in the hallway.

It was my fault Jon was hurt.

It was my fault.

If I had just left Ryan and gone home, instead of staying.

If I had just not gone to the concert.

If I had just given in to Master.

But that didn't matter now. It was my fault Jon was hurt.

And now, there was no turning back.

"Let me through!"

I looked down the hallway to see a girl pushing through the other doctors. She had straggly, rainbow hair, a very thin frame, and an angry look in her eyes.

Audrey.

I stared as she ran down the hallway, heels clattering on the tile. She ran up to the door, paused to brush her hair out of her eyes, and walked into the room. I stood up, and walked in after her.

This would be interesting.
