Runaway (Jason Mccann)

Chapter 43

- Morning -

I woke up and my head was banging.
Amber wasn't in my bed anymore.
I slept on the floor as I didn't think it was really appropriate to share a single bed with her.

I stood up and found a note on the cupboard.
'Toothbrush and paste are in the bathroom, food will be ready when you are'
I smiled.
Amber was so cute.
Wait.
I mean cute in a friend way.
I think.

I wondered out the room and down the stairs.
'Amber' I shouted.
'In here ry' I heard a voice shout from a room to my left.
I wondered in and found Amber cooking.
Wow she looked beautiful.
Wait what.
I let the thought pass my mind and quickly tried talking to avoid my thoughts.
'So we going to see Jase today?' I asked as she passed me a plate with a beans toastie.

She put her head down instantly.
She sighed loudly and a long silence occurred until she spoke up a bit.
'If you want' she mumbled.
I don't know why but I just felt an urge to hug her.
So I did.

I walked up to her and held both of my hands out.
She ran into me.
And it was the best feeling in the world.

I pulled away and grabbed her hand.

'Cmon my cars outside' I told her as I dragged her out the house, making sure she grabbed her keys on the way out.
I unlocked the doors and started the car making sure we were both strapped in.
I zoomed it down to the local hospital, Amber didn't talk for the whole ride, she just stared out the window.
As I pulled up, she was still staring out the window.
She was daydreaming I think.
'Justin' I hear her whisper under her breath
WHAT IS GOING ON?
DOES SHE LOVE JUSTIN?
'Amberr' I said waving my hands in her face.

She continued looking out the window, as if I wasn't even there.
'Jaaaaaaason' she giggled to herself.
WTF IS WRONG WITH THIS GIRL?
I waved my hand in her face again.
'Oi ambs'
'Heeeelloooooo'
'Ayyyyeeee'
'Amberrrrrrr'
Still no response.
This time I shouted really loud.
'AMBER'
She still looked out the window, I took hold of her shoulders and started shaking her.

She looked emotionless and lifeless, she didn't react at all.
WAS SHE DEAD?!??
'Oh Jason, just stop' she giggled even louder.
IS SHE SKITSO?
I decided to let her be and I walked out the car and over to the front doors.
'Visitor for Jason please' I said to the receptionist.
She looked like a right snobby git and I wanted to punch her face when she said ;
'Mccann? Have visitors? Ha'
just as I raised my fist.
I heard a small voice from behind me.
'Sir'
I turned around.
There stood a young woman with lovely shining hair infront of me, she flashed me a smile which kind of sent butterflies through my stomach.
'Im Jessica, Jason's Nurse'
She popped out her hand, I shook it and followed her as she wondered down the hall and through two large doors.
'It's only been a week but he's recovering well, sometimes his eyes even flutter open, you are?'
'Ryan, Ryan Butler. But you can call me Ry'
She turned around a smiled.
'Well Ry, take all the time you need' she flashed that perfect smile again and pointed to a door infront of me.
I started to feel tense.
Should I visit him?
He wasn't really my friend, he was CHAZ'S.
I pushed down on the knob and walked in.
There he was.
Wires and machines everywhere, beeping noises echoing in the room.
He looked asleep.
Thing was he wasn't.
I sat on a chair opposite the bed.
'Hey Jase, it's Ry...'
I didn't know what else to say.
'Remember when we used to play video games?' I asked while laughing to myself, those were the days.

I looked down at the floor and put my head into my hands.
The room was silent.
'Yeah, o--one time'
My head shot up.
I didn't say that.
Jason did.
But when I looked at him, he was in the same position and his eyes were the same.
Closed.
'Jason..Jason..Can you hear me?'
No reply.
I think I'm going a bit nuts in here.
It must be the hospital smell.
I stood up and walked out.
I didn't have anything else to say or do.
As I opened the door, I felt eyes watching me.
'P--peace bro' I heard from behind.
I turned around but Jason was in the same place and his eyes were doing the same thing.
You know when you just have a feeling about something? Well I have a feeling something's going to happen.
But not something good....
However I feel like its going to be me who causes it...
