It's been a week since the accident. I still think about what happened. The sound of him calling my name replays in my mind and the site of Rhys body laying on the ground limp makes me cry. I finally gathered the courage to go see him. I don't know how he is or how he looks now. But I finally tell myself that I'm ready. I remember the hoodie he gave me for my birthday. His hoodie....I put it around my waist. What if he's already gone. Or doesn't remember me. I think of all the bad things that probably happened or will happen. Get yourself together. I tell myself grabbing my keys and phone. I lock my door and walk towards the hospital. I'm shaking. Not because it's cold but because I'm nervous. I put my earbuds in and keep walking down the street. I finally reach the hospital and look up. "This is it." I say. "This may be the last time I see him again..." I walk in the hospital. "Your name?" The lady at the desk asks. "Um.. Alec Blake." I look down at my phone. Damn. I say to myself. 50 missed calls? There from Kelsie. I guess she saw the news.. The lady asks who I'm here for and I tell her I'm here to see a patient. "The name of the patient?" She asks. "Erm...Ryhs Arison." She gives me the room number and the floor and says have a nice day. I walk up to the floor and go to his room. They have his paper work outside on the wall. Damn, brain damage, 3 broken ribs and leg fracture? I look at the paperwork. He saved me and was rewarded with all of this....wow. I walk into his room. He's hooked up to so many machines. A heart monitor, IV tube. He messed up his life and body for...for me. 

I slowly walk over to him in his hospital bed. He's bandaged from his head to his chest level. His heart monitor beeps in the somewhat quiet room. I sit next to his bed. I look over to him. My eyes start to water as I think of what we've been through. His monitor beeps a final time and then stops.. My eyes widened with shock. The tears start to drip and I start to cry. "You said you wouldn't leave me...." I say while sobbing. I grab his hand in mine. "P-please come back..." I say. I soon hear the door open and someone walks in while the doctors quickly rush to Rhys. "Ma'am visiting hours are other now. You have to leave." She says. I lift my head up and stand. His hand is still in mine. The doctors frantically trying to save his life. "Ma'am?" I drop his hand back on the bed. I stood there for a while. "I-I'll miss you..." I say. I leave the room and stand outside the door. "Goodbye I guess...thank you for waiting for me to come before you went." I walk away, leaving the hospital and going home. I walk home thinking about how everything goes wrong for me. I walk in the house and walk to my room. "This isn't fair. I can never be happy." I untie the hoodie from my waist and drop it to the ground. I pull my shirt up from over my head and put it on the bed. I put my head down and sob. "I-I'm all alone again..." I say. Tears dripping down my face, I think of what I'm gonna do without him. I see the necklace he gave me through watered eyes. I remember when he first gave it to me. We were pretty young but still. He has the other half of the necklace. It's a yin yang necklace he bought from the zoo. It came with two pieces. Each for both people. I got the black part and he got the white one. He said that I should get the black one because it's my favorite color...and because he's the light of my life. I chuckle a little in my head thinking of the little face he had when he made that joke. It's a little beaten up and the paints coming off but we keep it on. I slowly pick it up and examine it....my initials are carved in this.. I think to myself. And his are too. I cry harder. I drop to the ground and sob. I feel a presence around me. Like someone's here. I feel my necklace rise off my chest. Still around my neck it stays there floating in mid air. Soon my head is lifted up and I see Rhys. "R-Rhys?..." I manage to say through tears. He's dead...It can't be him. He nods his head in agreement. His long black hair in his eyes. "Missed me?" He asks. I hug him tightly. "Of course I missed you." I say my face buried in his chest. "I thought I lost you... I-I thought-" He stops me. "You didn't lose me. I promised when we were younger that I'd never leave you." He says hugging me tight.
