Invisible
Chapter Eighteen
*Jack's POV*
The room was frozen.
It was as if nobody could remember how to move. I would've thought time had stopped, if it hadn't been for Emma's continuous screams and wild thrashing. Finally, I snapped out of my reverie and whirled around to face the doctor I had previously been shouting at.
"DO. SOMETHING." I growled in his face. Suddenly, all the doctors and nurses snapped into action, trying to calm her in any way possible.
It was useless.
They couldn't touch her, that just made her screech ten times louder. They couldn't give her any drugs for fear of permanent damage to her brain or body. Her brain monitors were beeping out of control, and she was screaming, screaming, trying to rid her mind of whatever demons were possessing her.
It was truly horrifying to watch, and I was about to collapse.
Alex was at my side, keeping a firm grip on my bicep to keep me attached to reality. Tears were falling fast and thick down my face, and I felt numb all over. I'm pretty sure if it weren't for Alex, I would've attacked someone by now.
"Jack, maybe you should le-"
I cut Alex off. "NO. I will not leave her. I haven't left her in months, no way am I going to start now, when she is in obvious pain." I ripped my arm out of Alex's grip and turned away.
And so I sat. I listened to Emma's terrible screams and wild thrashing.
"NO! NO!!! MAKE IT STOP!" I heard Emma yell out. I flinched as if I had been punched in the face, and I felt my heart break just a little more. I hated seeing her in such terrible pain.
But I continued to sit, fingers interlocked so tightly I thought I would break them.
"STOP! IT!" Another scream tore from Emma's throat, as mine closed up with tears and emotion. I don't think I could stand it much longer.
Suddenly, Emma's body went limp. my eyes widened in shock, and I sat up straight. I stared wildly at the doctors. "WHAT HAPPENED?" I shouted, all my calm gone and jumping from my chair. The doctors stuttered some lame excuse; they had no idea. I stared at Emma. She looked like she had given up.
"Emma..." I whispered, my voice cracking.
Then, yet another scream erupted from her, and her body went completely lifeless again.
"No, Emma, please, stay with me," I cried.
She was silent. I broke. It was as if I was the one lifeless. I couldn't stand it. I stared at her beautiful face and let all my tears fall. I was broken. I couldn't go on. I love her, and I can't just forget that.
And just then, she sat up, gasping for breath, nearly knocking our heads together.
I nearly fainted then and there.
