Hold My Heart, It's Beating For You Anyway
I'll Hold You Close, And Show You You're Not Broken.
I woke up in the parking lot, alone. I tried getting up, but my sides and face hurt too much to move. I cried for help five times before I heard footsteps, and then voices. "Do we know her? Is she alright?" It sounded very familiar. "Hello.. Are you alright?" "N-n-no. I-I was hit w-w-with a metal bar and bea-beaten. I d-d-don't remember m-much..." "Shh... You'll be alright. Jaime, can you pick her up while I call an ambulance?" Oh my god, that's Vic Fuentes... Why is he helping me? I'm just a worthless fan of his band. He doesn't even know me. "Oww.." I whispered. "I'm sorry hun. I'm trying my best not to hurt you. What's your name?" "I'm Ember..." "You know who I am, right?" "Yes, Jaime Preciado of Pierce The Veil." He smirked. He smirked at me. That was adorable.
"Okay sir, you can set her down on the gernie. I'll take it from here." A medic had finally came and I was on my way to the hospital. Vic and Jaime were whispering amongst eachother, and I could just faintly hear what they were saying: "She has cuts.... everywhere." "I know, Jaime. We can have a talk with her when she is better. Right now, we need to worry about her health." I don't want to talk. I want to go home, with Lyric. I want to know everything that happened, and who did this. "Where is my phone..?" "Oh, here. We held on to it because you had to change into hospital clothing." He handed my phone to me and I turned it on to find 3 text messages. One was from an unknown number, and the other two from Lyric.
Lyric: Hey, I'm home. Text me if you need a ride. xx
Lyric: Ember, are you alright? Why are you ignoring me?
Unknown: I told you not to be happy, slut. Don't even think about going to the police. c:
"Ashley did this to me...." I thought. I knew that it was her at the concert.
"Are you alright? You look shocked..." "I-I'm fine.... Why are you here?" "We wanted to make sure you were alright. Vic and I brought some food, if you're up for it. McDonalds!" "Thanks." That managed to get a smile out of me. I don't smile often, so when I do there's a good reason for it.
*Jaime's POV*
We had left the hospital for a little bit to go and get some dinner. We stopped at McDonalds and bought some food, and when we came back, Ember had woken up. I handed her her phone and when she took it, she looked scared, shocked. I had asked her what's wrong but she said she was fine, and so I left it at that until later. She handed back over her phone and drifted back to sleep. When she handed it back I took that as my chance to find out what was wrong. I know, that's a violation of privacy but I have to find out what is wrong with this girl.
I turned it on and went to her texts. They read:
Lyric: Hey, I'm home. Text me if you need a ride. xx
Lyric: Ember, are you alright? Why are you ignoring me?
Unknown: I told you not to be happy, slut. Don't even think about going to the police. c:
Oh my god... someone did this to her on purpose. "Jaime, what are you doing with her phone?" "Hush Vic, and read this." I handed him the phone and he read the texts. "Shit.... Does she have anywhere to go?" "Well one text said "....a ride home, so she must live somewhere." "Let's call this 'Lyric'." Vic dialed the number and it rang twice before a girl answered. "Ember? EMBER! Where are you? Are you alright?" "Lyric, your friend is in the hospital. I'm Vic from Pierce The Veil and Jaime is here with me." "I know who you are. I'm on my way."
Soon enough, Lyric was here. She took one look at Ember, and cried her eyes out.
"I knew there was something odd about Ashley's boyfriend asking to hang out. I shouldn't have left you Ember, I am so so sorry. This is all my fault..." "Do you know who did this?" She replied: "Yes. Ember has an enemy from high school, Ashley. She was here, but I didn't know... It's too late now..." "I'm sorry, Lyric. She'll be alright, though." Vic walked over and hugged Lyric, until she had stopped crying. Ember had woken up to the sound of a door opening, and a nurse came in. "Hello, Ember. You're going to be alright, but you cannot go home until tomorrow. Do you have anywhere to go, and a driver?" "I'll drive her home." I volunteered. I don't know this girl, but if someone did this once and got away with it, they'll do it again in a heartbeat.
