Teardrops on My Guitar ::27::

Chapter 27

Once we got to the hospital, they took Travis back to the ER for X-rays and stuff like that, to see if there was anything major that they had to take care of, since he was unconscious the entire time.

As they rushed Travis’s limp, frail body on a stretcher to the ER, I stand out in the waiting with everyone else, worried sick about Travis. I stood there with tears in my eyes, holding my hand covering my mouth. I know falling down a flight of stairs may not be much, but the way he nailed his head on the ground, I wouldn’t doubt he snapped his neck. Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder, spinning me around, facing Jesse. Right now, I just couldn’t deal with what he had done. It was just too much.

“Why?” I solicited, looking at him in his deep eyes with agony.

“Kay, it was a mistake.” He began, but I knew quite well that this was no mistake.

“This was no mistake Jesse,” I stated angrily. “You had to have some reason for doing this. It just doesn’t happen to be a mistake. Everything happens for a reason.”

Jesse shakes his head and rolls his eyes. “If I told you, you’ll stop talking to me and I don’t want that.”

“Well if you don’t tell me, then I can never trust you, ever.”

I could tell that he was tensing up; just looking into his glassy eyes I could tell that he had this gut feeling that he wanted to tell me, but something else was telling him not to.

“I was jealous.” He spoke up.

“Of what-” I sneered.

“Of Travis; I was jealous of you and Travis. I mean I find out that Travis had kisses you the fact is-” his voice trailed off. “I love you and pretty much more than anything else in this world, I always have. I just don’t want to lose you.”

I froze in silence and look at him, wondering if he was truly serious about what he had said. Does he really love me? I couldn’t think straight. He was either telling the truth or just saying that to get Travis of my mind.

“I am serious. That’s really the main reason why I kissed you in Vegas. I really like you Kay. I’ve got a feelin’ that Travis does too.” He hesitated, as head read my face like a book.

I shook my head. “But if you really do love me, you would have done a thing like this. You would never push your little brother down stairs because you are jealous of some girl.”

“But you aren’t just some girl.” Jesse stated. “You’re way more than that.”

As much as I wanted to blush and say ‘thank you’ and give him a hug, I couldn’t. Just before I was going to say anything else, a nurse came by and started talking to Gina. So Jesse and I walked over to hear what she had to say, but the nurse walked away.

“So what’s the news?” I ask Gina.

“Hun, she told meh that he’s stable, but she won’t tell me anything else. Ugh! I hate hospitals.” She cried.

I put my hand on her shoulder. “Gina, it’ll be alright.”

Jesse came around to give his mother a hug. “It’s going to be fine mom, I promise.”

I looked at him as he hugged her. He looked back at me, but I jerked my head the other way and walked the opposite direction and took a seat in one of the grey chairs in the waiting room.
