8 September 2012
Shanea chucked all of her belongings in her bags, and ran into the bathroom, and locked the door, the guys had left her about 10 minutes later, each with a kiss on the cheek and a firm hug. She looked around the marble tiled room, and filled the bath with sharp hot water, she slipped her clothes off and stared at herself in the mirror, not realising what she was doing she dropped the glass on the floor and picked up the biggest shard, about the size of a peeling knife, and took a big gasp of breath. She held her arm out ; stared at herself once more ; and cut into her wrist with the glass, it stung with pain but she soon forgot about Zach, and with every powerful cut she felt herself loosing blood and memories...
//
Zach and Harry, none of the band had forgiven Zach, but they knew that he had been extremely drunk and the girl had kissed him first, bust the door down, as they rammed their sides against it, and saw a blood stained floor, but no Shanea, her clothes were lying in a heap and shards of glass made the tiles look like a starry night sky, twinkling in the sunlight. Zach tip toed round them and turned to face the bath, where an unconscious Shanea was lying, a vicious smelling mix of blood and water filling the bath, Harry followed, again not disturbed by her naked body, Zach pushed tears back from his eyes and reached his hands into the bath, finding her knee's and back. He picked her up and held her close to his body, examining her quickly and realising she'd cut her vitals ; her wrist and chest, they were still weeping blood even if it had been hours since she cut. He quickly tested for pulse, even though her chest was not rising with breath, she had a soft pulse but barely, he glanced at Harry and nodded, Harry stepped out of the bathroom and picked up his phone, dialled 999, and asked for an ambulance. Zach's heart was beating faster and faster with every step he took, his baby dying in his arms, he took a large step and jumped out of the bathroom, laying her down on the bed, blood seeping out of her every cut.
Two guys, kitted out in dark green and fluorescent strips ran in and checked Shanea over as quickly as possible, Zach and the band were now all gathered, Zach had a face fresh with tears and a red nose.
"32 cuts, barely a pulse, sharp short breath." Zach said quickly, one guy nodded in thanks and picked her up gently, the same as Zach had, one paramedic ran downstairs followed by Zach and then the other medic, who was holding Shanea close. Derek had slipped a strapless dress on her, and sorted a hospital bag out for her. He hadn't been able to cope with the sight of a naked woman unlike Blake and Harry.
Zach jumped in the ambulance, to be pushed away by the medics.
"Sorry but your her boyfriend and we don't want you to see what we might have to do," the guy who wasn't sorting Shanea out said harshly but softly.
Zach sighed, nodded and jumped in the band's VW Campervan (a present from Simon ; yes they were already his favourites) the guys followed in suit, all but Blake climbing in the back. Blake slammed the doors shut just as Zach drove off after the ambulance.
"Bud. Don't you think your driving a bit quick?" Blake said calmly even though he was grabbing onto the side of the door and was dying to scream.
"No this is Shanea were talking about." Zach replies quickly, taking another sharp turn which sent Harry and Derek flying. "I love her mate."
Derek, not meaning it, blurted out, "Yeah but she doesn't love you anymore does she?"
Zach wanted to punch him, how could he say that?! But as he drove faster still after the blue and white blur, he realised he was chasing after something he was never going to catch. Shanea would never want him back in her life, ever, and he'd been a jerk, a real jerk. His phone beeped and he glanced at it, a voicemail from earlier today, he chucked his phone at Blake, "Can you check that mate?" blake nodded in return and quickly scanned the phone, clicked the voicemail and held it up to his ear, surprised to hear Shanea's voice on the other end.
"I'm sorry for what you did, what you did to me and what you did to us. I was going to tell you earlier, when we'd got my birthday over with, but I never found the chance, you have done a terrible thing. And it will take me a while to ever trust you again. But I do love you, even if you've made mistakes, nobody's perfect. I know that, I mean look at me, and you still love me. The guys told me the truth, I know how stupid you get when your drunk. I know you do the wildest of things and I know she kissed you. But babe what I'm trying to say is, even though my mind is racing and if I ever trust you again it will be amazing. But. Babe.. I'm pregnant, and it's yours." the auto mated voice came over and swiftly followed by a short sharp beep. Blake put the phone on speaker and played the message again, be paused it right before Shanea spoke.
"Zach, it's Shanea, it must be before she passed
out. You might wanna listen close. Your still in with a chance." he said quietly, bringing his knees up to his chest and looking out for signs to the hospital. Various swears were screamed through the message, but it was as soon as Zach found out he was going to be a dad that he was possibly the happiest. "Shit!!!" he shouted, a grin spread as wide as his face. He pulled the V-Dub up to the hospital and jumped out only to be plagued by paparazzi. He ran in after Shanea and the medics, whilst the boys handed over as much money as they needed to to stop the paparazzi bothering them.
