My boyfriend and I were hanging out at my house when all of a sudden he started being a little rude. He let go of my hand that he was grasping so tightly, sat up instead of laying his head on my shoulder, and he stopped watching the movie and started texting someone. I asked if he was okay and at first he ignored me. Then I said "hey babe what's wrong?" And he looked at me with this jerky look in his eye. And I asked again what was wrong and he yelled at me... This is the first time I have ever experienced him yelling at me. I was shocked. I don't even know what he yelled all I know is that it was loud and I just broke down in tears. I got up and went in the living room and tried to stop sobbing but it was too hard. So when I walked back in there he was still sitting there with an evil expression on his face. I finally worked up the courage to walk over there. Honestly I thought he was gonna hit me when I say next to him. But I tried to talk but I was still crying my eyes out. Then he leaned in really slow and..... hugged me... He was crying and I said "are you okay?" And he showed me his phone and it was a text from his dad... His dad had said "your mom got in a horrible car accident. I need you here now." So I said "get in the car my mom will take us."

The whole way there he was sobbing his eyes out, which I COMPLETELY understand. I tried hugging him and comforting him but he wouldn't let me. My mom and I were both crying too cause I felt horrible. I guess that was moms reason to be crying too.

As we pulled in the hospital parking lot, before we could even park he got out of the car sprinting to the hospital doors. When he got in there his dad was waiting at the door. All I remember seeing was them hugging really tightly, both crying. Me and mom were walking towards the doors and they weren't in the waiting room anymore.

I walked in and they weren't taking visitors yet but Jake had came back downstairs and told us bad news. He said "the doctors said its out of their hands. They're letting God take over." He said all that as he was sobbing. I can't imagine what he must be going through. I would be a mess of that happened to my mom. Mainly because she is the one who really takes care of me. I feel so sorry for him.

We were in the waiting room when the doctor said visitors were allowed in. As I walked in the room all I could think about was "I wonder what she looks like... What if she is in a full body cast, what if she can't hear, see, or speak?"

I walked in and all I could say was "I'm so sorry!" She was in a full body cast and couldn't see or talk. She could hear though. So I walked up to her and just whispered in her ear "I love you keep fighting, you'll make it." She smiled. A very faint smile. She knew who I was, I could tell.

All I could say to Jake the next day was "I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry!" He kept a saying "don't be sorry it wasn't your fault, just don't sweat it!" I still kept apologizing.

I was just about to go to bed when I got a call from Jake... He said his mom had died in the ICU (Intensive Care Unit.) As soon as I heard I couldn't speak... I kept crying and crying and I couldn't hardly breathe. Mom walked in and was already crying so I knew she knew. I couldn't stop crying and I didn't get any sleep at all cause I was up all night thinking about how Jake must be taking this. It was his mother. His mother... I couldn't imagine his pain. She was always there for him no matter what and always took care of him throughout his whole life. She was his everything.

I tried calling him but it kept going straight to voicemail. Maybe his phone was dead? Or maybe he just wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone.

I gave it a few days before I called his father to check up on him but he never answered me either. I was worried out of my mind at this point. My mom tried to calm me down by saying "they're probably busy planning the funeral. So she said after a week we will go to they're house to see f they're alright.
