Life As We Know It
Relapsed
Zacky's POV*
My mother was crying and sitting down next to Nessa who was still breathing. Tears streamed down my face as I went to her side and held her hand. She was losing a lot of blood. Hopefully it wasn't too much for it to be a fatal amount. The blood was practically fresh still on the floor.
"When did you find her?" I asked my mom.
"Just when I called you. Some car was speeding off down the street so looks like this just happened maybe 10 minutes ago. She drug herself into the kitchen to find he phone." My mother answered.
"Have you called an ambulance?!" I yelled. It wasn't at her it was just in general.
"Yes son, I did. They should be here soon."
Just as soon as she said that, all of the guys came running into the house and I could hear the faint sound of sirens approaching. Nobody said anything.
"Nessa, baby, can you hear me?" I asked hoping she'd respond in any sort of way.
"Z-Z-Zacky?' She murmured.
"Baby, the ambulance is on its way okay? I promise you're going to be okay." I said to her. Though I was saying them to her I felt the need to reassure myself as well.
"Don't leave me." She whispered.
"I won't." i promised her.
The ambulance finally arrived and rushed into the house with a stretcher. They put her on it and I followed them into the ambulance. Before they closed the door I told my mother to stay with Jaymee. She nodded and then the ambulance door shut and we were on our way to the hospital. The paramedics were speaking a whole bunch of medical terms but i kind of put together what they were saying. Basically, she suffered a lot of blood loss which she will have to undergo blood transfusions till she has sustained enough. And then on top of that she hit her head so she's going to have to be under careful watch. I wasn't sure what they said about the knife wound though. I held Nessa's hand tightly as we were driven to the hospital. When we finally arrived they rushed us right to the ICU. The doctor came in and immediately assessed her.
"I need to stitch up the stab wound and then give her several pints of blood transfusions. Where she was stabbed is not fatal but most definitely will take some time to heal. As for her head, she should be fine, but she needs to stay here for a couple of days to see how she does with with the stab wound. I suggest you go home tonight and come back in the morning. We have her on some sleeping medication so she can rest right now." The doctor told me after he had seen Nessa.
"No offense doc, but I made a promise not to leave her." I told her.
"And I respect that but there's not much you can do right now." She told me putting one hand on my shoulder.
I sighed and left the ICU room. The guys just showed up as I was walking out.
"Is she okay?" Everyone asked in unison.
"She'll be here for a few days. They told me to go home." I said. I walked up to Matt's car and gp in. I was mad and didn't feel like talking.
"Do you know who did it?" Matt asked when he got in the car.
"How would I know that Matt?!" I yelled.
That made everything awkward in the car. So they dropped me off at my house trying to give me some space. I walked up to the front door and then walked back to my car and got in. I was in need of a drink or two. I drove to the closest bar I could find and then dove into a drinking binge.
Matt's POV*
"Who do you think would want to do that to Vanessa?" Val asked.
"How would I know Val? I mean the only person who seems to have it out for her the most would be Gena." I said to her.
"Gena may be a bitch but I don't think she'd do that." Chelle said.
"And how do we know that Chelle? She's done a lot to hurt Nessa already." Brian told her.
"I'm going to find out who did this. For Zacky's sake." I said.
As irritating as Zacky can be, he was a brother to me and Nessa is my little sister basically. They've been through hell lately. The least I can do is help. Gena was the only logical explanation though. I went through my contacts looking for her number cause I still had it saved from when Zack was dating her. I began calling her phone but another call was coming in. It was Zacky's number.
"Dude, you okay?" I asked.
"Uh, this Matt?" A voice asked.
"Yeah, who is this? Where's Zacky?"
"He's drunk passed out on the pool table at my bar. He almost got into a fight too. Can you come remove him from my bar." The guy said.
Fucking Zack. One thing that irritated me the most about him is when he's depressed he does the stupidest shit. The guy gave me the address of the bar and I took Brian with me cause we were the only ones who could carry Zack to the car. When we pulled up Zacky was being escorted out. He must have woke up or something. Here I am, yet again, fixing his mess.
"Hi Shadz." Zack slurred.
"Dude, just get in the fucking car." I told him.
"Where's Nessa? I need to propose to her." He said.
"Not tonight. You're going home, and you're going to sleep." I grabbed him and threw him in the backseat. He's too drunk to deal with right now.
