Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 198

At the Hospital,

Shawn lay on the hospital bed, drifting in and out of consciousness. He thought he heard Allison's voice.

'Allison...'

'Allison...'

He fought to open his eyes.

The first thing he saw was the stark white ceiling. Pain throbbed in his wrist, and the sharp scent of antiseptic filled his nose.

"Shawn, you're finally awake! Why would you do something so reckless? Oh, my boy..." Cindy's eyes were puffy and red from crying. She looked like a sad frog. Shawn managed to speak, "Mom, why are you here? Where's Allison?"

He could've sworn he just heard Allison's voice.

Shawn's eyes wandered around the room.

His mom and dad were there, along with his friends Colt, Jayden, and a few other buddies. Even Kate, who he had a big blowout with that morning, was present. But the one person he desperately wanted to see was missing.

Kate heard Shawn's first question about Allison, and turned away, tears streaming down her face.
