Why Me?

Chapter 3••What A Joke

||WORD COUNT: 697||

Cailea's POV:

Jaxon follows me out as soon as I leave and Ashton waits by the door until he is kicked out when Calum is taken to surgery.

"Babe. Baby! Slow down." Jaxon grabs my arm and I swing around.

"What?! What could you possibly want Jaxon? I called you here because I needed you for support and you two idiots can't stay in one god damn room for 10 minuites without killing each other?" I nod towards Ashton who is now standing beside Jaxon with a confused look.

"Don't look at me like that Ashton. Both you and my brother lied to me about being really sick and then he ends up in the freaking E.R because you couldn't stop messing around for five seconds to think about what's going on around you. He just had a seizure and I have no clue how that surgery is going to turn out. I have lost too much in my life, I can't loose him"

"I know baby, I'm sorry. I should've kept to myself. I'll do better next time I swear." Jaxon comes closer holding my arms in his hands. I instantly rip my arms from his grasp and give him a scowl.

"You're crazy if you think there will be a next time Jaxon. I'm so sick and tired of this bullshit." I see Ashton snickering behind Jaxon so I push past him and smack Ashton's cheek as hard as my small hands with allow me. He groans and holds his face in his hands.

"You don't deserve us. Him or me. Don't call or text me anymore." I say. I turn around and storm out of the hospital grabbing my phone out of my pocket, dialling Emily's phone number.

"Hello?" I hear her say.

"Hey. Can you come get me?" I ask. I know I'm about to cry again but I don't stop myself.

"What happened?? Are you okay? What's wrong, where are you. Wh-?" She sighs on the other end of the line.

"I'm okay. However I can't say the same for Calum. I will explain later. I'm at the hospital and Jaxon and Ashton are here." She says nothing. There's just silence for a few seconds.

"Why don't they drive you home?"

"Please- just come get me!" I shout into the phone and hang up. I go to Ashton's truck to grab my duffle bag but the tailgate is locked and he has the cover over it because it was supposed to rain.

"Shit" I whisper. I walk inside to find a slightly pissed off Jaxon and a worried Ashton sitting in the waiting room. They see me and both rise at the same time.

"Sit your supid ass down Jaxon. Ashton go unlock your truck so I can get my stuff.

"You don't want a ride home?" He asks and I scoff at his stupidity.

"Wow. You're such an idiot to think I'd get into another conversation with you let alone get into a vehicle with you." He shrugs his shoulders and tosses me his keys.

I go to the doors just press the unlock button and throw them back at him hitting his head. I walk outside and cross the street to get to Ashton's truck. I have too many things on my mind to even think about looking so I just walk and a tiny black Honda comes racing down the road just a few feet away from hitting me. I look again and this time sprint across the street and make it to Ashton's truck and grab my bag as soon as Emily pulls in. I walk back across the street and get into Emily's car needing to duck before I sit down and shut the door beside me and buckle my seat belt. I stare at the dashboard trying to hold back my emotions but then my pokerface immediately falls, and my lips go into a pout and the next thing I know is I'm sobbing into Emily's shoulder.

//:This is a shorter chapter but it's sort of a filler because I feel like it's not as 'important' as the other chapters. Idrk but thanks for reading! -Hannah:\\
