Skinny Love

Chapter 26: All your fault

Collin's pov

After five minutes I heard a group of people running. Annemarie was at the front. She ran up to me and slapped me.

"You had one job Collin.One job! To keep her safe but now look we are all in the hospital-"

Before she could finish Jocelyn pushed her back. "Thats enough Annemarie."

We all waited in the room. Me, Annemarie,Jocelyn, Ellie, Alice and Maribel waiting. We all bounced our feet up and down.

The doors bursted open and there stood Matty. He ran up to me. Oh god not again.

Annemarie knew what was gonna happen and she ran infront off him.

"Im going to kill you. If she only picked me so she wouldnt have been in this situation. This is all your fault Laker, ALL YOUR FAULT!" he yelled.

"Can we just for a second stop blaming people and talking about relationships", Maribel yelled. Then the room went silent.

Annemarie took Matty to a chair on the other side of the room so he wouldnt try anything.

The doctor came in and we all stood up. "How is she" i asked before anyone else.

"Well we got her heart started but she does have alot of injuries. She has many bruises, cuts and scrapes. She also has some fractured ribs and a broken leg" he pauses and said

"Her chances of making it through the night are very slim, she might not wake up but theres not much we can do at this point. "

"NO!" I yell. I punch the wall. "BULLSHIT, thats bullshit" I flipped the table.

Maribel stopped me meanwhile Matty dropped to the floor. Annemarie was sitting next to him with her head on his shoulder.

Everyone was crying. Ellie left the room with Alice and Jocelyn. Maribel and i went to the balcony.

"Why are you not crying?" I asked her barely getting the words out.

"Are you kidding me? Dude this hurts like hell. Ellie, Alice, Annemarie, Jocelyn and me are devestated. Sam, she has been there for all of us. Im just trying to be strong. Sam would always tell us to look at the bright side."

"This really is my fault. What if Sam never wakes up."

"God you sound like me." She said lightly laughing.

"What do you mean?"

"Collin at times like this you have to stay positive."

"How im i gonna stay positive if im the reason Sam is in the hospital!"

"Just dont think about the worst, Are you calm now?" She asked me.

"I guess i mean i dont want to snap anyones neck now" i said then she smiled. "Good thats a start"  She patted my back and we walked into the hospital.

When we got in we saw Jake and his family. "Oh god" i walked up to Jake and said "Alright lets get it over with"

But he shook his head. "Ill kill you if she doesn't wake up" then he walked back. Everyone in this room wants to kill me. Well except for Maribel.

I couldn't bare to face her family so I went back to the balcony with Maribel following. Thats when tears started falling.

"Collin...are you ok?", she asked worried.

"Yeah but I just don't understand why life never works out for me. I'm always the cause of trouble. I might as well kill myself if she doesn't wake up.", I said.

Thats when Maribel engulfed me in a hug crying. "Don't turn into me Collin. Don't become depress and shit like me. Stay positive and happy, thats what Sam loves about you. Thats why she picked you. Now stop that before I slap you."

"Ok ok. I won't kill myself."

"Ok now go face her family and tell them what happened."

"Thanks Maribel."

"No problem. You are like a little brother to me." We walked in. I saw her family crying and I just wanted to turn around but Maribel might slap me for that. I took a deep breath and started talking.

"Um hi I'm the guy Sam went out on a date with and I'm sorry what happened. I was walking her home then she started running and then I heard tires screech. I ran as fast as I could to her but she was already unconscious. Again I'm really sorry and its all my fault."

I looked at them thinking in deep thought.

Until they finally spoke.

"We forgive you but you must wait and see if Samantha will forgive you. We could tell you love our daughter.", Sam's dad said.

"Thank you sir.", I replied and walked away. I was gonna talk to Maribel but she was too busy comforting Jake and hugging him.

But will Sam forgive me? I can't even forgive myself. Maybe it was best if Sam picked Matty and not me. Maybe we were never meant to be. I slapped myself. Remember what Maribel said, Don't become depress and blame stuff on yourself, stay positive. I just hope Sam wakes up.
