40. Jake's POV How to save a life

I can't believe my parents have the fucking nerve to turn up here. Fucking Michael can be glad I'm not around his place at the moment for calling my parents for me going against the rule to ever turn up there again. Honestly, they can all go to hell. All of them made massive mistakes. Michael's whole family, my mum and dad, Emi's mum and dad, they all fucked up. And the ones paying for it are Sam, Emi and I. When I tried going against their deal five years back, mum said it would be my fault alone if dad went to prison. Fuck, I was only a naive fifteen-year-old who thought he had to protect his family. Who was even told I had to protect my family above anything else. Looking back, I protected the wrong people. They didn't deserve my protection. And the only person who really deserved my protection didn't get it. The person whose heart and soul broke that night. Along with her whole world. After what happened, we moved to a place I didn't like at all. My parents hated each other and

41. Jake's POV Friends

Reaching the hospital, we rush to the ER. They tell us we have to wait in the waiting area. Sam has been taken to the shock room, but they aren't handing me any more information.Evans gets us a coffee and hands me one. By the way he is behaving, I can tell he is torn between anger and sympathy for me. Right, it's now or never, and this waiting is killing me anyway, so I might as well use the time to talk to Evans."You wanted to know what she knows? Well, she found out something terrible today, something very wrong. " I start off and then tell him the whole story, starting with what Sam overheard today. Then I tell him the part Sam doesn't know, how things were at the time.I tell him how my dad came home that evening after the accident. He never even stopped to call an ambulance or the police but he fucking called Michael's parents to ask them what to do. They were his lawyers and they fucking told him to leave the town with us the next day for a week on holiday. They would take ca

42. Jake's POV Dealing with reality

3 weeks laterEvery single day I am sat at this fucking bed, hoping for Sam to finally wake up. The first week was hell, it was an up and down, several times I thought this is it. Once the swelling of her brain went down and she was stabilized she went back into surgery for her bones. Seems like her body had difficulties dealing with so much narcotics, causing heart issues again. During this time I felt like going insane and being a zombie at the same time. I only ever left her if absolutely necessary.Even if the nurses complained I stayed most of the nights, sleeping in the chair next to her bed. The second week got easier, Sam was still in a bad condition, but stable. As I already had skipped two weeks of classes I decided to at least attend my classes and go straight back to Sam after. Seeing as her condition wasn't quite as critical anymore, a second visitor was allowed to visit her for half an hour a day. Evans and Emi took terms, both of them were a pain in my ass, telling me

44. Missing him like hell

No matter what I do, I miss Jake like hell. Seeing him during classes doesn't make it any easier. At least we are in for winter break very soon. I really hope that will ease the pain.But what do I do after the break? I know I can't keep hiding from him for ever. And things are just going to get worse.Seriously I have no idea what to do, how to go on from here. There's so much pain within me tearing me apart and all I want to do is crumble down, cry and let the world swallow me up.Since the day of the accident, I don't feel like myself anymore. I'm not the strong fighter Sam anymore. I'm a defeated girl, who has lost everything even herself.

Guess I would have done the same to protect my family. But he had enough time to tell me t

45. Spilling the beans

Shit, my bones ache again like hell from the way back from college to the bed and breakfast. Even if I hate to admit to it, Jake carrying me up and down those stairs definitely was a relief. And feeling his arms around me......The moment he put me back on my feet, the lack of his arms around me hit me again so damn hard. Nothing I want him to know, though. So, instead, I let out my anger and frustration about being carried in the first place. Perhaps a little psycho, I know."Jake texted me," Evans says while I am stretching out on the couch, cuddling my new favourite hoodie in my arms."Did he tell you, I nearly crippled him for carrying me down and then back up the stairs?"Evans chokes on his coke. "He did what? All he texted me was that he brought you a hoodie, and for the first time in weeks, you said a few words to him.""Yes, because you fucking traitor, told him about the hoodie. How much more did you tell him?" I roll my eyes emphasizing on that I'm not too pleased about hi

46. Responding

As usual, I fell asleep with Jake's hoodie while crying. He sent me a short message last night, and for a change, I even read it.Jake: Thanks for letting me hear your voiceSomething so simple had my heart racing again, and the hurt of his loss felt worse again. Why is it that I just can't seem to get over Jake? No matter what has happened between us, I still love him, like crazy, and now I am pregnant with his child.Evans is right, I shouldn't keep this secret, and sooner or later, it will be impossible to hide it anyway. I just don't want Jake to make a decision he'll regret later, just because he feels like he has to. Mum brought me up by herself, and I know I could do the same if I have to. Even if I wish for this baby to have a dad. But this way, Jake can perhaps decide to be a dad without feeling pressured to do something he isn't ready for yet.God, I miss him so incredibly much. It's the last day before winter break. Perhaps I could just give a friendly attempt today by not

47. Letting go

I'm captured between fear and euphoria. The look on Michael's face was hilarious. No one here would ever dare to touch him because of his parents. I mean, they fucking love him here anyway, he's good looking and very popular. But even if there has been trouble no one would ever dare to touch him. Well, Evans has no idea about it."He might press charges against you," I say, worried on our way back to the house."I don't fucking care. If Jake had heard his words, he probably would have killed him. That bastard can be glad I only threw one punch. He deserved far more. By the way, I am fucking proud of how you dealt with him in the first place.""He fucking creeped me out. Who the hell does he think he is, to dare to touch me again? And then make it sound like we were a great love couple who simply had fun together. It disgusts me." I feel like puking in disgust and scrubbing and trashing anything he touched."I don't fucking trust that guy, and I'm glad when we leave this place on Sunda

48. Jake's POV Needing her

This weekend has been a torture, knowing Sam is being away with Evans, spending time back home for a whole weekend, and to top it off where Michael is. Even if Evans is trying hard to fix things between Sam and me, I can tell he still feels an awful lot for her. What if she falls for him too after everything that has been revealed? Would he still resist? I couldn't blame him if he doesn't, this girl is a one in a life time girl.At least I knew she would be safe with him. Last night, he texted me something that happened with Michael, and he felt like killing him and the others, but that Sam had kicked his ass in.Worried, I tried getting more details out of him, but he told me to be patient he would tell me the whole story personally in peace. On the one hand, I'm worried sick about Sam. Worried about how this might have affected her again. Then again, I would have loved to see Michael's face. If it really was Sam, who kicked his ass in, it would have been hilarious.Evans texted that

49. Calm down

"So was this is what you thought I'd hate you for?"Jake's voice sounds pissed."I don't want to put pressure on you or whatever. You don't have to deal with the consequences. I'll cope with it. Damn, I know we are far too young for this, and it's not what we planned for. But I can't give this baby up. It's a miracle that it survived the crash and all the medication. Of course I know it's your life too and please Jake live it to the full. Live it as you had planned. There doesn't need to be any consequences for you. I'm not demanding anything from you." I think I've never spoken this fast in my whole life, rambling down the words as fast as I can."Sam are you fucking serious?" He's fuming, his hands running through his hair and ruffling it, while walking back and forth. I knew this wasn't going to end well. "Is this what you think about me?" He yells, and I fight back the tears. This is my fault. I have no right to cry."Calm down, mate," Evans interferes."Calm down? The love of my l
