before jessica can even say anything in response, she feels a gentle hand on her shoulder. even the slightest touch makes her jump in the air, fearing that it might be one of those THINGS. lights, red and white flashed outside the police station. the word hospital was heard, only vaguely. jessica was too distracted, watching as they took josh in the opposite direction. she didn’t want to be separated from josh, but she was being given no choice in the matter.
the ride to the hospital was one she didn’t really remember, as the second she’d stepped foot into that ambulance, jessica had been pumped with drugs to help her rest while they inspected her injuries. hours – who knew how many? – passed and jessica awoke with the sun shining directly in her eyes? god, couldn’t they have bothered to SHUT the blinds? she’d forgotten for a moment, but her surroundings and the pain she felt were a quick reminder. mike, ashley, chris, sam, emily and matt – ALL DEAD. she and josh were the sole survivors – and he was nowhere to be found. jessica had to find him.
weak legs swung jessica out of bed and her feet dropped to the floor. hand gripped tightly onto her iv that was pumping her full of something – maybe morphine? head peeking through every door, repeating josh’s name until jessica found him on an entirely different wing, though he APPEARED to be sleeping.
❛ i’m so glad i found you. ❜
josh has begun stumbling backwards, anything to get away from the men reaching for him. it came to him as an instinct, he wasn’t longer aware of W H Y he was so opposed to it, but the closer they stepped the more distraught josh turned. mumbles of reassurance, they were here to help. TAKE THEM TO THE HOSPITAL. && for one slight glance he catches the look on jessica’s face right before they’ve taken her away. a w a y. but he couldn’t let them, he wouldn’t. he wasn’t. they were all dead, no one left no one but the two of them. they weren’t going to separate them. lock them up. lock him up, lock him up, lock him up like the psychopath you are !!!! the booming voice of doctor hill rang in his ears before everything began to blur and he was no longer aware of where his own feet where taking him. away or exactly where they wanted him to go.
who knows how much time had passed, seconds and minutes and hours turning into no more than a blur. voices and shadows moving about, but everything seemed QUIETER. more peaceful. more than in a very long time. his mind thoughtless, no demons left haunting him. if only it wasn’t for the drugs in his system. but slipping in and out of consciousness he lets the thought slide by as does time. the only moments of his conscious mind are short. too short to R E M E M B E R E V E R Y T H I N G again, but it’s a chance he takes, his mind never being quieter. yet this state of calmness feels nothing but a fragile facade. like a house of cards. one blow and everything comes shattering down. “mmm.” josh mumbles, heavy eyelids begin to open one by one at the sound of a weak voice. there’s that slight worry that it’s in his head. again. his sisters. again. but as soon as his vision clears he recognises the figure sitting at the edge of his bed. j e s s i c a. –––––– && just like that. one familiar face is all it takes for the memories. reality. to come crashing back, josh’s eyes snapping open. “jess –– you’re –––– are you okay?”
