Chapter 42

It turns out that Owen had another gun. As I lay in John's arms, police stormed the building.

I watched as they took Owen and Michael into custody.

"Jasmine,look at me ". John turned my face towards him.

"Keep your eyes open okay". he was putting pressure on the wound to try stop the bleeding a little. I nodded and he kept whispering to me.

I watched him. His hair was a mess but as always he pulled it off like no one could. Strangely there was no pain,it just felt as if I was floating.

My eyes started closing and my vision became blurred.

"Jasmine! JASMINE!" I heard the distant shout from John.

JOHN'S POV

"JASMINE! Wake up! FUCK!"

This cannot be happening!

When the gunshot went off, it was like as if time stopped moving. I saw it hit Jasmine and I grabbed her before she hit the ground.

I briefly registered Michael and Owen being taken away and it took everything in me not to fucking kill them both.

I am not losing her!

Picking her up,I carried her outside. I couldn't wait for the ambulance.

Jason drove while I sat in the back holding her and continue to stop the bleeding. As soon as we got to the hospital,I ran outside.

"Please, someone help me!"

A whole bunch of nurses ran over and put her on a bed. I followed them until a nurse stopped me.

"Sir,you have to wait out here".

"What? No! I need to be with her!" is this woman crazy?

"She's in the best hands. Just wait here and I'll come you when she is out of surgery".

She went down to the corridor to where they have kept her. I sat down down and cried like a baby.

Jason came up and held my shoulder.

"Bro,You need to go get cleaned up" he pointed the blood on my hands

"No. I'm not leaving".

"I meant in the bathroom over there. I'll wait here in case there's any news. I called Mrs Trenton,her husband bought some clothes". he handed them to me and I went off to the bathroom.

I changed quickly and washed the blood off,I don't know what am gonna do if she doesn't make it.

Ella, Ashley and Dave arrived at the hospital shortly after we got there.

We waited for 7 hours which was definitely a pure torture.

A nurse finally came out.

"Jasmine George's family?"

We all stood up.

She looked taken aback for a moment.

"There were a few complications ... But she's going to be fine". she smiled.

We all let out the breath we have been holding collectively.

"Can we see her?" I asked.

"Of Course".

We all followed her to the room.

Ashely and Dave were first to go over to see her. They moved over for Ella to go over and finally,I got to go over.

She had tubes and wires coming out of her and an IV in her arm. I went over and held her hand which was so cold.

The nurse had said it was normal for someone who had lost alot of blood .

It took be back to when she cut herself. If I'd known back then what I do now,I would never have let her out of the house alone.

I have contemplated that am never letting her out when she recovers. I bent down and kissed her forehead before sitting down on one of the chairs next to her bed.

The nurse came back and told us that visiting time is over. Ashely and Dave left and Jason took Ella home.

She was priority while Jasmine was out. The elderly nurse saw me still sitting there and gave me a look but she would have seen the determination on my face to not leave.

So she brought me a blanket and left while muttering to herself " Young love".
