The Part Of Me I Never Had

I called Justin and told him what had happened and to come as quick as he could.
I had a pretty good idea who did it, but out of all my worrying, I stashed the information to the back of mind.
My eyes were clouded with tears. �How would anyone be so cruel to do this?�
I had rest his head on a pillow. I stroked his beautiful face, praying that he�d wake up.
Finding the first aid kit, I had bandaged his head.
Then I heard a faint yell, �JJ! Get the boat onto shore!�
After I kissed JC softly, I ran out.
�I�ll be there in a bit!� I noticed the rest of the guys were there too.
I fumbled with the controls before I got it to go back to shore.
I stayed with JC until I heard the soft bump of the boat hitting shore.
The sounds of urgent footsteps echoed through the boat.
�My god JC!� cried Justin as he kneeled next to me.
�He won�t wake up Justin!� I sobbed.
He held me tight and said, �It�ll be alright.�
I felt JC moving so I parted from Justin to see.
He opened his eyes and sat up.
�What�s wrong Jessie?� he asked groggily.
I went at him with a hug. I hugged him tighter than I�ve ever hugged anyone.
�Thank God you�re ok,� I cried.
�Ugh. My head,� he groaned.
I quickly released my grip and looked at him with concern. �Don�t worry JC. I bandaged your wound.�
�Was it that bad?� asked Justin.
�It was gushing blood,� I told him, wiping away the remaining tears.
�JC, what happened?� asked Lance.
�I was walking in here and then I heard something, so I turned and saw this guy, and he hits me with a bat.�
�Oh my god. He did that to you?� I exclaimed.
�You know who did this?� Justin asked.
�I might have an idea of who it was. JC, could you see anything about him? His hair color? Height?�
�His hair was brown but that�s all.�
�So it was him.�
�It was who?� asked Chris.
I ignored him and went on, �JC, do you remember the guy we saw jogging when we were in your limo?� I asked him.
He nodded.
I just stared at him.
�What guy?� asked Justin.
�But Jessie, I don�t see what Keith has to do with all of this,� JC pressed.
�Everything. Let me tell you what happened before. I�m sorry I didn�t tell you earlier, but I didn�t think you�d need to know.�
�So tell us,� Justin said.
�Well, about a month ago, Keith and I were you know, going out. Then one night, he told me that he loved me. I didn�t love him back so I broke up with him.�
They opened their mouths to speak, but were cut off by another voice.
�Is that why you broke up with me?�
I spun around. �Keith!�
�Yeah, it�s me.�
�How could you do this?!� I yelled furiously.
�JJ. Calm down,� Justin said, attempting to stop me from doing something stupid.
No effect.
�You went out and attacked an innocent man just because I was having fun with him!� I continued.
�If you knew my reasons-�
�What reason is good enough for you to go and attack someone you don�t even know?!�
�Jessie,� JC tried. �Please. We don�t have to make this any worse.�
�JC, how could I make it any worse?! He attacked you! Am I just supposed to let that slide? He is just a maniac who goes out and attacks the men I go out with because he�s jealous!! Isn�t that right?� I turned and glared at Keith.
He looked at me with sad eyes. �Maybe I was a little jealous, but only because I love you.�
�If you loved me, you wouldn�t be hurting me like this. You would be happy that I have found somebody that I want to be with. Not what you�re doing. You could at least have me as a good friend, then not having me at all,� I said as I turned away.
After a moment of silence, he replied, �I guess I have been acting foolish, and I�m sorry if I hurt you this way. I would gladly be a good friend than having to lose you. If you would still want to be,� he finished quietly.
�I would like to be your friend Keith. And thank you. For realizing that I don�t love you the way you love me,� I said gratefully.
�Anytime. And JC?�
�Yeah?�
�I�m sorry for hurting you.� He took a deep a breath and added, �Take care of her for me.�
�Don�t worry. I will.�
Keith turned around and walked away.
�Are you ok?� asked JC.
�I�m fine. I�m just glad that you�re alright.� Then I turned to the others. �Could you not mention this to anyone?�
They nodded.
�And can we please head back to the hotel?�
�Yeah. Here JJ, I�ll drive the car with you guys. That sound ok?� asked Justin.
�That would be great,� I answered, grabbing JC�s hand.
