Car Crash |2|

-Three days later-

I sat silently with my arms crossed over my chest. This was the last place I wanted to be in. A wheelchair being wheeled towards the cafeteria.

I've been in this damn hospital for three days and the only thing I have to recover from now is my headache. Doctors claim it's a migraine. Well, whatever the hell is it, it's annoying the shit out of me.

"Here we are." The nurse had stopped us over at a chair less table. I surmise it's for disabled people. Like, right now, me.

"Here we are." I mimicked before holding a palm to my forehead; hissing in pain.

"It's not wise to move much. Or back chat." She raised an accusing eyebrow at me as I rolled my eyes. "Well I'll be back in a few minutes with company."

Company?

"What?" I muttered and dared to look back to see the nurse was gone. Jesus. "Thanks." I grumbled letting my head rest on the cold surface of the counter.

I just want to sleep and get this weak annoying pain out of me. The pain becomes so unbearable sometimes that I cry in anger before yelling and then crying how much that it hurt. It annoys the shit out of me.

Time passed and I'm starting to believe that damn nurse lied to me. The large clock on the building wall told me I've been sitting here for ten minutes. Lovely. I'm going to request a nurse who doesn't bloody lie to a critical patient. Less critical now but still.

"I'm back!" She chimed. Maybe it was better when she was gone.

"Great." I sat up but cried out holding my head.

"Take it easy Josephine." She said rubbing my shoulder. I could only nod in response. "So, as I said before, I brought company. He understands what you're going through."

"Oh does he now?" I growled. "And why's that exactly?"

"Because I'm the one that hit your car." My eyes widened as I looked over at the boy who was also in a wheelchair. A neck cast and a bandaged chest added to his accessories.

Oh shit. So this was the guy I had a car crash with.

"O-oh."

How fucking wonderful...

. . .

The two of us sat awkwardly quiet at our table where the nurses forced us. I was hungry but I wasn't going to voice it. Not when I had this faint guilt running through me.

"S-sorry..." I stuttered deciding to fess up.

"Sorry?" The boy mumbled like he was processing the foreign word.

"For, you know..."

"Causing a car crash?" His sarcasm came off thick and so did his annoyance. I dared to turned my head to see him already glaring at me.

"You think I wanted to 'cause the car crash?'" I spat as he rolled his eyes.

"Just when I thought that day couldn't get any worse, you decided to prove me wrong."

"If anyone's going to play victim here than it'll be me." The two of us bantering had caused a few heads to turn our way.

"Oh yeah?" He challenged.

"Yeah." I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Well then please enlighten me!" We held a fierce stare before the memories slowly cane back. My eyes softened and my vision blurred as I sucked in my lower lip. The boy's defensive face lowered as well before turning in slight sorrow.

"My friend... my o-old friend..." I turned my head cautiously before holding my face in my hands. "Back stabbed me." Short silence.

"Oh. I'm... well I'm sorry to hear that." The boy's voice was softer than it was a few minutes ago. "Well... I guess I can sort of relate then." My ears perked as I turned my gaze back to him. "My ah... my ex-girlfriend. I found her cheating with my best mate that night." He stumbled his voice projection a bit. It looked hard for him to talk about.

"So... I guess we were both at fault." The boy nodded and gave me a slight smile.

"Yeah. But you were a bit more." I could only peek a smile back at the boy. "You did run the red light. Remember?" He lightly chuckled as I looked at my lap holding my laughs back. "Niall."

His hand slightly shook as he held it out for me. I lifted mine and shook his hand. His warm hand enticed mine making me smile at how soft his skin was.

"Josephine. But, I guess you can call me Josi. I mean, I am more at fault right? It's the least I can do." Niall let out a small visible laugh as I glamoured at the sound. It was a terrific sound. Something I wish to hear more often.

"So we'll be seeing each other note often huh?" Niall calmed himself as I nodded.

"I guess so. It doesn't look like either of us are going anywhere, any time soon." Our hands parted ways as Niall grinned up at me. I think I prefer his smile than his glare. It suits him.

"I guess so."
