I Say It Just Moves On..

*Cherish's P.O.V*

I'm so tired but so wide awake at the same time.. I feel like I'm in a pool of water. My body cold and numb.
My surroundings darker than the night sky. No stars, no noises.
It was just me.. I was floating in darkness and it felt so peaceful. Keeping my eyes closed in case something is there.
But there isn't.
Just me and the darkness. I put my hand on my chest only to feel a faint heart beat. I didn't know what was going on.
Am I dead? Am I alive?
The thoughts suddenly overlapping each other. Whispers at first, but then slowly turned into screams. I covered my ears to ease the eerie sounds only for all of it to get worse.
I couldn't take it anymore. What is happening to me?!
I screamed. Then they stopped..

I lied there in the darkness, trying not to think about anything so I won't drive myself crazy. I was close to falling asleep until I felt a warmness on my hand.
I felt it, but there was no one else but me.

*Jimmy's P.O.V*

I hope I got to her in time. I've never ran so fast in my life.. Me and the boys.
Even with my heart condition, I'm surprised I made it to her front door.
But yeah.. Here we are, at the hospital. Waiting for a doctor, nurse, any one that would tell us anything.
All this waiting made me feel like I was suffocating. I got up from my chair and rushed out to the parking lot.
I put my hands to my face, to hide my tears. I just let myself go. I didn't even care if I was loud, I just cried and cried.
I've never felt this way before.. Is this heart break?
It can't be.. Cherish is going to make it through this. I kept telling myself over and over again. Only to find myself sobbing like a baby whenever I did.
I was crying so much, I didn't know Matt followed me. He didn't say a word though.. He just let me cry.
I looked at his fists, then up to his face, only to see that he was fighting back his own tears.

"She'll be alright, man."
I told him.

He sniffled but didn't shed any tears.
"I hope we got to her in time.."

"Yeah, me too."
I replied.

We just stood there, saying nothing more to each other. I felt like there was nothing to say, you know?
I just wanted to be alone but at the same time I didn't. I'm glad I have a friend like Matt. I looked at his fists once more, and saw that they were puffy and bruised up.

"What the hell, man? What happened?"
I asked.

"After you left with Cherish in the ambulance.. I lost control, Jimmy. I beat the shit out of them both."

We both went quiet.

"You should go get it checked out."

"What are we gonna say to the cops, man? Cherish's aunt and uncle are obviously going to tell them what happened."

"You're going to tell them the truth, duhh. You are going to say you were helping a friend when she couldn't help herself. It was 2 against 1. Then you jumped in."
I said to him, looking straight into his eyes.

"Alright, man.."

We stood there for a few more minutes until Brian came to get us.

"Guys! Doctor said we could go see her."

I ran to the door and into the hallway, with the guys following me. We found her room, but only to be stopped before we could enter.

"Before you go in, I just thought I should tell you.."
said the short blonde doctor. His name tag said James.. wow. Not weird at all.

"Tell us what?" I asked.
"Is she gonna be alright?" asked Brian.

"Her injuries. They are severe.. She has 4 broken ribs, several blows to the head. Cutting on her wrists.
It is safe to assume that most of her injuries were.. not self-inflicted but I will report to family services."
He said.

"Is there like.. anything wrong with her though?' Matt asked.

The doctor sighs..
"Due to the amount of blood loss.. Cherish has fallen into a coma."

It felt like all the blood in my body immediately stopped running through my veins.

"We are not sure though when she'll wake up. But when she does, we will be able to find out more."

None of us said anything. All the boys bowed their heads, sighing heavily, looking down at their feet.
I just had my eyes on the most beautiful girl I know. I didn't want to hear anymore to be honest, it's hard enough as it is.
I walked into her room and occupied the small couch beside her bed. I looked at her wrists and saw that her cuts were deep.
I think it was hard for them to stitch 'cause they do look kind of messy. I looked up once more at her face, only to see that she was pale. No color on her lips.. her cheeks. I immediately started to feel guilty.
Why the fuck did we leave her there?! We should've just stayed!
I was thinking to myself, of course and just started crying again.
The boys walked in, so it was all of us surrounding her bed now. Brian came put his hand on my shoulder, assuming he knew I was crying. I sniffled and sobbed, wiped my tears away not saying a word.

We were here, at the hospital for a while now.. it was starting to get dark out.
I was going to go home, but I would feel too guilty if I did. The boys didn't want to leave either but one of the nurses came in and said that only one of us could stay overnight.
I said my good nights to the boys as they walked out, one by one.

"she'll be alright, brother." Brian said to me.

I didn't reply, just nodded my head.

"We're not going to school tomorrow, so we'll be back tomorrow morning."

"sure, man.. Good night."
"Good night."
As we gave each other a hug. He walked out so it was just me and Cherish now.
I kept staring at her, not saying a thing. But I knew, if she were awake, she'd want it to be quiet.
But I'm sure she'd understand, I don't like the quiet much so I played a song on my cute phone.
Nothing Else Matters by Metallica starts playing..
I hold her hand and don't let go.. I'm feeling tired.. so I just drift off. Still holding her hand..
