Shattered

Chapter 1; Awake

I rolled over and realized that I was lying in a hospital bed. I sat up slowly and looked around the room. My father was standing in the corner of the room with an upsetting looking covering his face.  

What was going on? Why was I here…? Where was Jason? Where was Isabella? My thought were blurred with these thoughts.

“Dad?” I asked looking over at him. “What am I doing here? What happened?” I asked.

“There was an accident at the school during graduation…you were by the building when the bomb went off. You have been in a coma for 3 months now” He said walking towards me.

“What?” I asked. I was so confused. This couldn’t be right. What about Jason and Isabelle…it had all felt so real.

“I’m sorry Miley…Your friend Jason died trying to save you.” He said standing next to me bed.

“No, no you are lying!” I screamed. Everything in me ached. Jason couldn’t be dead.

“I’m sorry” He said sitting down next to me. He held me in his arms as I cried. I couldn’t think straight what happened…why did Jason have to die? It didn’t feel right…he couldn’t be dead…there is no way.

“There is more” He said his tone was off. My heart ached even more. “The doctors found out that you were pregnant…you lost the baby after the bomb. I’m guessing Jason was the father and you guys didn’t know.” He said wrapping both his arms around me.

“No” I cried out. I felt my body crumble into pieces. My father tried to hold me still but failed. My arms flared all around. I couldn’t control myself at this point. My body hurt and I felt my heart shatter within me.

Isabelle died and so did Jason.

After a while I was able to calm myself down. My father went to talk to the doctors to see when I was going to be able to leave.

“Miley” I heard someone say walking into the hospital room. He walked closer to my bed and I saw that it was Aussie.

“Aussie?” I asked.

“And Dylan” Dylan said stepping out from behind Aussie.

“What are you guys doing here?” I asked.

“Your dad called us” Aussie said. My father walked back into the room.

“Seems there are some things you don’t know about me.” My father said walking to the other side of my bed.

“What?” I asked. I was so confused at what was happening.

“I may have kept a few things secret from you so I could protect you” He said sitting down.

“I ran, and still run a few gangs. I am connected to Jason and Aussie’s gang…the leader over both” He said shifting in his seat. “That’s why your mother and I didn’t work out. I couldn’t leave the gang. I had to protect you and your mother so I left and moved here. I was surprised when your mother said you starting getting involved into that stuff in New York. After your mother died I thought bringing you here would help you stay away from that stuff and keep you safe…but then Jason showed up at my door. He didn’t know. Aussie was the only one who knew who I was. I was surprised at what had been happening, I knew that Jason would keep you safe. If he brought you into his world he wasn’t going to let you leave.” He sighed sitting forward.

“I-I am so confused” I sighed looking at Aussie and then Dylan. They gave me a reassuring look.

“All those times I was out busy, I was handling things with the gangs. What has been stirring has kept me busy for a while. Although we have cleaned something’s up…there are still things that need to be taken care of.” My father said. He stood up and walked towards my bed. “I know this isn’t the best way to wake up. But, you are safe now.” He said his face held a look I had never seen anything before...

“We will be taking you home now” He said handing me a change of clothes.

Unable to understand what was going on, I got dressed and left with them.
