Chapter 9

Jared paced up and down the hallway of the hospital, he ran his hands through his hair keeping the hair out of his face while he cried, he ovbiously didnt give a shit about how he looked or if any photographers where watching, the woman he loved was in there being saved, the last thing he was worried about was being shot crying in hospital and being called a softy and then have it published in Kerrang. Jared stared at the clock it was already 4'oclock Skye's mother should be on her way over straight from work, Skye's only been in hospital for half an hour and already Jared hated being apart from her.

"Jared, sit down its not doing you any good bro to pace up and down" Shannon said quietly typing into his blackberry,

"Shannon you dont understand! I cant sit down what if something happens to her man, I cant lose her" Jared said crying, his voice was breaking as he choked out the words, he hated the thought if Skye couldnt make it, but he knew Skye was a strong woman, she spent all her life fighting off her father, but what made today any different? was it that she let her guard down because her and Jared had a fight? Jared then stopped and his mouth fell open,

"Bro what is it?" Shannon said getting up holding his shoulder,

"If we didnt have that fight, she would be ok, she wouldnt have been attacked and raped, Shannon its my fault! I started the argument and she kicked me out and oh my god its my fault, I let this happen to her, she'll never forgive me!" he sat down, his head in his hands crying into them, Shannon sat next to him while Tomo came back in from the canteen,

"Now you listen to me Jared, no one knew he was coming back, no one, not even Skye, she was upstairs when you left, its not your fault, and so what if you two fought, its what couples do, but they get over it, she will forgive you because you done nothing wrong bro" Shannon said hugging his brother tightly,

"I agree with Shannon, Jared, it's going to be ok, shes going to be fine" Tomo sat the otherside of Jared as Jared looked at them both he let out a little chuckle the kind of chuckle that would make Skye's and well anyother Jared Leto fan knees buckle.

Ten minutes later Skye's mother came running into the hospital, Jared shot up and held Skye's mother tightly and simply apologized he left his daughter on her own,

"Jared, you didnt know Jon was coming back to the house did you?" she asked softly in tears, Jared wiped her eyes,

"No, I didnt, but me and Skye, we had an argument about us going public and she thought I was ashamed of her so she kicked me out, I should have never just left like that I should have stayed until she calmed down" he said his voice breaking, Skye's mother hugged him tightly and promised it was ok and it was not his fault, they both sat down together waiting for Skye.

An hour passed and a nurse came out saying that Skye is in a stable condition and shes awake but very weak, so Skye's mother simply turnt to Jared and let him see her first, Jared got up and walked slowly to Skye's bedside, he couldnt believe what he saw, all over her body from her cheek to her knees was cuts and bruises, her blue eyes looked at Jared, still as beautiful as ever, but she was crying when she saw Jared walk to her bedside, Jared took her hand and moved some of her hair out of her face,

"Skye, I am so sorry for what happened today, the argument, leaving you on your own and now this, if I was a better boyfriend none of this would have happened" he said holding her hand gently looking into her eyes, Skye was looking back into his eyes, his angel face was once again tear stained from all the crying,

"Jared, I dont blame you, Im the one who should be sorry for the argument, but you dont want me now do you, this is going to scar this is Jared, you want someone who looks like a model with a perfect face and perfect body which is like what size 0, Im not like them Jared Im..." she got cut off by Jared,

"Your you Skye, and I love that about you, so what if you have scars all over your body and face, you'll still be beautiful to me, nothing will change that, but I will step up my game more if you still want me as your boyfriend" Skye looked at him crying,

"Of course I want you to be my boyfriend, I didnt mean what I said today, but how will you step up your game?"

"By going public, I love you Skye, and I dont want this to be a secret, your right we should be open about us" he said leaning towards her, she could feel his warm breath against her skin making her at ease with whats going on, it was what she wanted, she didnt just want their relationship to be just between them,

"I'd love that alot" she said, Jared kissed her gently and she kissed back, "I love you too" she said softly as he sat in the chair next to her, Skye's mother and then Shannon and Tomo came in to see how she was, there was alot of laughter and tears coming from Skye's bedside, but what mainly stood out was Jared and Skye's love, and before you knew it, it went public not just in magazines and T.V news, but also on their twitters and facebook so all their friends knew. And unforntually Claire.
