In Love With My Best Friend

chap 31 ; battle scars

"will she be okay?"

"yes, but she's going to feel pain in her back for a few weeks"

"how bad was it?"

"the knife only hit her spine. but it's not too serious, we were able to fix it during surgery"

"okay. that's good"

****
i opened my eyes slowly and looked around, trying to figure out where i am

i felt something holding my hand and i looked down at who it was.

it was kevin.

i layed back down and squeezed his hand tighter.

"kaylen?" kevin mumbled

he looked up and his eyes widened.

"KAYLEN! OH MY GOD YOU'RE AWAKE!" he said with a huge smile on my face

i tried to sit up but my back started to hurt.

"AHH!" i screamed in pain, holding my back with my right hand, amd holding onto the bed sheets with my left

"lay back down sis"

kevin helped me lay down slowly.

he got up and pressed the button that was on the wall.

a few minutes later doctors started to crowd the room.

"hello ms. jane, i am dr. robbins" dr. robbins said

"um, hi doctor" i replied

"you've been stabbed in your back, we did surgery and it went amazingly well. you'll be feeling pain in your back for a few weeks, so that means you're going to have to stay in the hospital. but aside from that, you'll be fine and back to normal" the doctor tells me with a smile

"oh, okay. is um, anthony gone?" i ask him nervously

"yes, um, he got arrested after kevin called the police" he told me

"how is my boyfriend, jake peter" i asked him

he looked down and sighed....

oh no, this is not going to be good.

"jake peter is in a coma"

i could feel tears pouring down my eyes again.

i hate crying, i hate showing people how weak i am.

but i really didn't care.

jake. my boyfriend. who tried to save my life. is now in a coma. because of me.

i closed my eyes and let my thoughts ruined me.

my heart started to beat fast, really fast.

making the heart moniter raise.

"ms. jane, please calm down, you're not supposed to be feeling depressed, or stressed" the doctor told me

i inhaled, and exhaled, and then started to breathe slow to get my heart to beat normal.

"can i be in the same room as him?" i open my eyes slowly and asked him

the doctor sighs. "i'm sorry ms. j-"

"NO! i want to be with him!" i yelled at the doctor

"okay. come on, let's bring her to room 672" he told the nurses

they started rolling me to jake's room.

kevin is standing by my side holding my hand, and squeezing them.

***

we finally reached jake's room, and they left me alone with him.

i sat up. not caring how badly my back started to hurt.

i looked over at jake's face.

he's connected to all these wires.

there's a tube stuck in his mouth to help him breathe.

he's in really bad condition.

he has a black eye, swollen lip, and 2 scars on his right cheek, and beneath his left eye. (their really noticable)

i layed back down on my back slowly

i started crying, and blaming myself.

but when my heart moniter started to rise again, i inhaled, and exhaled.

i started talking to jake.

i heard if someone's in a coma, they could hear you.

i'm not sure if it's true, but why not give it a try.

"jake.. i'm so so sorry i brought you into this mess. if it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be here. i should be in a coma, not you. i'm so sorry baby, i really am" i then started to break down in tears

again my heart moniter raised. so i started to breathe slowly, getting it to beat the right way.

i wiped my tears away.

okay kaylen, stay strong. you have to be strong for jake.

i told myself.

i looked over at jake.

the scars on his face isn't just ordinary scars you get by accidents.

it's scars he got from trying to save me.

it's his battle scars.
