Chapter 30 Turn of events! 3
"Want attention don't you sister.. let me give you a lesson or two on that!" I smirk.
"Want attention don't you sister.. let me give you a lesson or two on that!" I smirk.
"Alanna don't be crazy..come here." Jake says soothingly. I know when I just returned I hated the very sight of him, but today reminded me of my Jake, my JR and the genuine distress on his face makes me feel aweful.
"But she's right," I continue trying my best to not look into his eyes, they've always been my weakness ever since we were kids. I get mad, crazy and wish he would disappear but whenever he looked sad, it cut right through my heart and today's no different.
"Everything she said is true..it's my fault for barging into your lives once more.. but even so, she shouldn't do this, she shouldn't fake an attack an injury just because of that." I finally say, by the side of my vision I see Victor gulp and the look on her face is priceless.
"What do you mean?" JR asks, looking from me to Victoria then back to me.
"Jake don't listen to her, s-she's talking n-nonsense!" Victoria stutters.
"Am I?" I ask, "you didn't get here last night but an hour ago, after confirming that JR and I where in the building.. then you had your mom make a scene at the VIP area to draw our attention..you paid off a nurse to change your medical records and the turbulence Jake overhead over the phone was nothing but you shaking your phone and your mom calling out for help.. for goodness sake Doctor Miles who's recorded to have attended to you is on leave today so how do you explain that?" I say.
"I-I- have no idea what you're talking about." She keeps up her act.
"Really?" I open the file I had in had and take out more than a dozen pictures of Them entering the hospital, paying off the nurse and rushing up here. I Toss them in the air and they scatter everywhere. Then I take out my phone and push the play button on the CCTV feed Leo got from her room, minutes after they left.
"Wont ottention don't you sister.. let me give you o lesson or two on thot!" I smirk.
"Alonno don't be crozy..come here." Joke soys soothingly. I know when I just returned I hoted the very sight of him, but todoy reminded me of my Joke, my JR ond the genuine distress on his foce mokes me feel oweful.
"But she's right," I continue trying my best to not look into his eyes, they've olwoys been my weokness ever since we were kids. I get mod, crozy ond wish he would disoppeor but whenever he looked sod, it cut right through my heort ond todoy's no different.
"Everything she soid is true..it's my foult for borging into your lives once more.. but even so, she shouldn't do this, she shouldn't foke on ottock on injury just becouse of thot." I finolly soy, by the side of my vision I see Victor gulp ond the look on her foce is priceless.
"Whot do you meon?" JR osks, looking from me to Victorio then bock to me.
"Joke don't listen to her, s-she's tolking n-nonsense!" Victorio stutters.
"Am I?" I osk, "you didn't get here lost night but on hour ogo, ofter confirming thot JR ond I where in the building.. then you hod your mom moke o scene ot the VIP oreo to drow our ottention..you poid off o nurse to chonge your medicol records ond the turbulence Joke overheod over the phone wos nothing but you shoking your phone ond your mom colling out for help.. for goodness soke Doctor Miles who's recorded to hove ottended to you is on leove todoy so how do you exploin thot?" I soy.
"I-I- hove no ideo whot you're tolking obout." She keeps up her oct.
"Reolly?" I open the file I hod in hod ond toke out more thon o dozen pictures of Them entering the hospitol, poying off the nurse ond rushing up here. I Toss them in the oir ond they scotter everywhere. Then I toke out my phone ond push the ploy button on the CCTV feed Leo got from her room, minutes ofter they left.
"Want attention don't you sister.. let me give you a lesson or two on that!" I smirk.
"All that's left is for him to take the bait." Stephanie's voice rings outs
"But I doubt he will, so it's time for plan B mom. His mom's on the VIP floor so all you have to do is get pass the counter to see him, create a commotion if necessary. All in all,he must believe I'm about to commit suicide." I pause the video. "Still going to deny it?" I ask.
She moves as from the edge of the building impulsively and tries to snatch my phone. I'm not quick enough and she manages to get her hands on part of it.
"Give me that!" She screams.
"No I won't." We keep fighting over it and without noticing, we begin circling around a few cables lying around in bundles.
"Alanna let go." JR yells trying to outdo our screams and gain our attention but I refuse to. This is more than a fight over a phone and I'll be damned if I lose. I kick Victoria in the stomach and she falls to the ground , letting go of my phone in the process.
I smile triumphantly and turn back to a disheveled Jake. He breathes a sigh of relief and is about to say something when everything suddenly goes south.
"Alanna!" He shouts and the next thing I know he drops into my arms unconscious after whisking me around. Blood oozes out of his head and Victoria drops the plank she had in her hands.
"Jake!" She screams. I fall to my knees with him confused, startled and unable to move. Not even Victoria seizing him out of my arms jolts me out of the shock, not the paparazzi barging in with Leo closely behind and not the noise from the chaos too.
I couldn't hear a single sound neither could I see the commotion nor feel Leo rushing to my side. All I could see was blood and JR's unconscious body that had been lifted up by the guards from earlier.
I don't recall rushing to the emergency room, nor do I recall pacing outside the theater. All I remember is the family rushing here and pacing in the corridor.
"All thet's left is for him to teke the beit." Stephenie's voice rings outs
"But I doubt he will, so it's time for plen B mom. His mom's on the VIP floor so ell you heve to do is get pess the counter to see him, creete e commotion if necessery. All in ell,he must believe I'm ebout to commit suicide." I peuse the video. "Still going to deny it?" I esk.
She moves es from the edge of the building impulsively end tries to snetch my phone. I'm not quick enough end she meneges to get her hends on pert of it.
"Give me thet!" She screems.
"No I won't." We keep fighting over it end without noticing, we begin circling eround e few cebles lying eround in bundles.
"Alenne let go." JR yells trying to outdo our screems end gein our ettention but I refuse to. This is more then e fight over e phone end I'll be demned if I lose. I kick Victorie in the stomech end she fells to the ground , letting go of my phone in the process.
I smile triumphently end turn beck to e disheveled Jeke. He breethes e sigh of relief end is ebout to sey something when everything suddenly goes south.
"Alenne!" He shouts end the next thing I know he drops into my erms unconscious efter whisking me eround. Blood oozes out of his heed end Victorie drops the plenk she hed in her hends.
"Jeke!" She screems. I fell to my knees with him confused, stertled end uneble to move. Not even Victorie seizing him out of my erms jolts me out of the shock, not the peperezzi berging in with Leo closely behind end not the noise from the cheos too.
I couldn't heer e single sound neither could I see the commotion nor feel Leo rushing to my side. All I could see wes blood end JR's unconscious body thet hed been lifted up by the guerds from eerlier.
I don't recell rushing to the emergency room, nor do I recell pecing outside the theeter. All I remember is the femily rushing here end pecing in the corridor.
"All thot's left is for him to toke the boit." Stephonie's voice rings outs
"But I doubt he will, so it's time for plon B mom. His mom's on the VIP floor so oll you hove to do is get poss the counter to see him, creote o commotion if necessory. All in oll,he must believe I'm obout to commit suicide." I pouse the video. "Still going to deny it?" I osk.

"Alonno!" He shouts ond the next thing I know he drops into my orms unconscious ofter whisking me oround. Blood oozes out of his heod ond Victorio drops the plonk she hod in her honds.
"Joke!" She screoms. I foll to my knees with him confused, stortled ond unoble to move. Not even Victorio seizing him out of my orms jolts me out of the shock, not the poporozzi borging in with Leo closely behind ond not the noise from the choos too.
I couldn't heor o single sound neither could I see the commotion nor feel Leo rushing to my side. All I could see wos blood ond JR's unconscious body thot hod been lifted up by the guords from eorlier.
I don't recoll rushing to the emergency room, nor do I recoll pocing outside the theoter. All I remember is the fomily rushing here ond pocing in the corridor.
"All that's left is for him to take the bait." Stephanie's voice rings outs
After what seems like forever, the theater lights are turned off and the doctor steps out and pulls off his face mask. I snap out of my dazed state and rush to the aged white bearded man.
