Now I Can See Your Pain { J-Dog x Deuce }

Chapter 9

Jorel's POV

Sirens. It's all I could hear.

Flashing lights were all I could see.

My head was spinning and my heart racing.

I could tell I was shaking when I slowly came back to reality.

The image of Aron laying on the floor, wrists all bloodied and eyes closed kept flashing in my mind.

Blood puddled up on the floor.

I couldn't help but break down crying.

Tears streamed down my face as the ambulance rushed to the hospital.

I stared out the back window, unable to watch as they tried to clean up and sew his wrists.

He'd lost a lot of blood and they weren't sure if Aron would make it.

I needed him to make it though.

I needed him and he was slowly slipping out of my grasp.

I just needed him.

He's my best friend and I can't lose him.

He's what has kept me going all these years.

He's always been there for me and I've always been there for him.

We promised eachother.

I broke that promise.

I wasn't there for him this time because I was the reason behind it.

I'm the reason he's laying on a stretcher, slowly dying.

I'm the reason this happened in the first place.

I could've saved him.

I could've been there for him.

I wasn't though.

I broke a promise we made as kids.

A promise we'd never broken in all our years of knowing eachother.

And now in result of me breaking that promise my best friend is in an ambulance, connected to a bunch of wires and an oxygen tank while his wrists drip with blood.

We arrived at the hospital but there was very little chance of him surviving.

We rushed into the hospital.

I held onto the stretcher, running with it.

" Aron! Aron cmon! You can't die on me!" I spoke, tears falling down my cheeks as I ran.

A few nurses had to hold me back as they went into the ICU.

I tried to escape their grip.

I had to be with Aron.

I had to be there for him because it might be the final time I get to do that.

After a few minutes I stopped fighting though.

They took me to the waiting room.

I sat down, tapping my foot.

I couldn't stay still so I just got up and paced around the room.

My mind was racing.

Tears were stinging my eyes.

My best friend, the guy I've been in love with for years is dying and there's nothing I can do about it.

I was met with a pair of arms pulling me into a hug.

I knew right away it was George.

I just buried myself in his embrace, sobbing quietly.

" we're sorry buddy. We know how much he meant to you " Jordan said, rubbing my back.

" stop talking about him as if he's already dead!" I snapped.

" Jorel....there's a very slim chance of him making it. It would take a miracle for him to survive with his weak and frail his body is...." George said.

" h-hes gonna make it! I know he will! He has too!" I sobbed.

They all stayed quiet.

George took me and we both sat down.

I pulled my knees to my chest, letting more tears fall.

Aron has to survive this.

He just has to.
