This Is What You Made Me [Episode 30] Sometimes the Bad Guy Wins PART 2

Selena's P.O.V
My head was pounding as if somebody had thrown a rock at it. I blinked a couple of times before realizing that not only was I in a hospital bed, but also there were breathing tubes attached to my nose. I mentally freaked out for a few seconds before everything came rushing back. Running away. Drew. The Bridge. Joe. I slipped and he jumped in after me. He saved me, again. "Ah, Miss Gomez, I see that you're finally awake." I looked up and saw a smiley nurse bustling around the room. "H-how-, "I tried to speak but ended up descending into a fit of coughs, because my voice felt croaky and out of use. "How long have I been out?" I tried again. My voice was still quiet, but it sounded better. "Only a few hours, sweetie. You were actually very lucky that your friend pulled you out as quickly as he did. I've seen Pulmonary Edema cases that got nasty fast." A rush of gratefulness toward Joe flowed through me. It was scary to think that I could have died. "Now that you're awake," the nurse continued, "You've got some visitors. I'll tell them that they can come in to see you now." She then left the room, leaving me to my brooding and pain. A few minutes later, Mr. and Mrs. Jonas rushed into the room and Mrs. Jonas pulled me into a tight hug."Selena, honey, are you okay? What happened? Does it hurt? Is there anything I can do for you? Did-""Denise, Denise," Mr. Jonas pries her off me and smiles gently at me, "give the girl some space." "I'm sorry sweetie." Mrs. Jonas' worried expression then turns into a stern one, "But if anything is going on in the house, if anything is bothering or troubling you, don't be afraid to come to us, you don't need to go to these extremes again." I bit my lip and look down, suddenly feeling very foolish, the reality of what I'd done finally catching up with me. How could I have been so stupid? "I'm sorry Mrs. Jonas I just... I'm sorry. It won't happen again." Mrs. Jonas pulls me into a hug again, "Aw Selena, it's alright. I just want you to feel completely welcome in our home. It's yours too now. You can come to us with anything that's going on in your life." I felt a lump in my throat as I hugged Mrs. Jonas tighter. It had never been like that when I had lived with my parents; they had always been too fucking caught up in their own shitty drama to give a fuck about what was going on with me. Even the day when I was 12 and came home crying because Joe had just raped me, my mom took one look at me and all she said was, "What would you like for dinner Sel?" Living with the Jonas' made me realize what a family was supposed to be like; they were supposed to look out for each other and always be there, not spend most of their time avoiding each other like my family did."Oh, and before I forget," Mrs. Jonas said as she pulled away from me, "I called both of your parents to tell them about the accident. I think that they deserve to know." I fought against rolling my eyes and mumbled quietly so that nobody could hear me, "Not that they would care." Since moving in with the Jonas' I haven't heard from my mom at all, and my dad only tried to get in contact with me that one time when he sent DREW which was just a catastrophe in the making. "We're going to leave now." Mr. Jonas said, "The boys and your friends want to see you."
