"Well this is Angie from Braxton E. Hospital and I was told to call and tell you what has happened. Your friend, Zack, has been in a car accident and I really think you should be here. He has been asking for you, Skylar. He is not doing good at all." she explained to me. I immediately hung up and turned around as soon as I could. I called my mom and asked her to go and get Austin from the airport. I didn't tell her or Austin what was going on, I'm sure they'd figure out eventually. I sped the whole way to the hospital. I pulled in and sprinted inside. I went up to the third floor and found his mom and dad, Tess, and his two sisters who were twins. I ran and hugged all of them, and we all started crying. I pulled away and asked what happened...
"Zack was going to basketball practice and hit a patch of ice and his car completely turned around and then the car behind him hit him head on. She was an older lady and she died on the scene." We all started crying and sat down and waited for what felt like forever. Finally a doctor came out and asked to talk to us in a private room. We all held hands and walked into a very small room. The doctor began by telling us how and what he had done to try and save Zack when suddenly he said "I'm so sorry and I hate to have to deliver this news to you, but none of the procedures I just explained worked, Zack was pronounced dead at 5:09 which was 5 minutes ago." I clenched Tess' hand and let go and ran off sobbing. He can't be dead, he just can't be. Oh my goodness. I ran and sat in my car and found myself driving to Zacks house. I sat in his driveway for about two hours just sobbing and thinking about everything and how different it was going to be now. I hate myself right now. This is not fair. I would have stayed longer but then my phone went off. It was a text from Austin saying:
"Hey babe. I am headed home now, actually I am almost there. Your mom said you had an emergency, You okay?"
I replied and said "My bestfriend just died, do you think I am okay? No, I am far from okay."
Almost instantly my phone started ringing. I picked up and before I could say anything he said "It's not Zack, is it?" I started bawling and he said "I'll be home in 10, where are you?" "Zacks," I whispered. "Okay, I am coming soon." he said. "Nah, I am coming home now, see you there," I said and started sobbing again. Even though I haven't talked to Zack in about two months, the best friend connection is still and always will be there. I turned on the car and pulled out. I arrived in Austins drive way right behind Austin and mom. I got out of the car and ran and collapsed into Austins arms and cried for a straight ten minutes.
*Autins POV*
I've never seen her cry before, I never wanted to have to see her cry before. I know that first thing I see her, she is going to be bawling. I need to be prepared and be there for her, she just lost something so special to her. I had heard her cry on the phone earlier and I sure as hell didn't like it, so I'm sure it's going to be hard for me to actually see her cry. We pulled into my driveway and she pulled in right behind us, perfect timing! Skys mom looked at me and said "I'll take your bags into your house and walk over to mine. You take care of her. I am sure she will be spending the night here tonight." I nodded and jumped out of the car and she ran straight to me and collapsed in my arms and cried for a good ten minutes. She finally looked up at me. Her eyes were bloodshot and she had some makeup running down her face. "I've missed you," she managed to choke out. I picked her up and carried her into the house and up to my room. I then asked what happened. She sighed and said "Zack was in a car accident and was hit head on by an older lady who died on the scene, I was on my way to get you when I got the call from the hospital that said I needed to be there because he wasn't doing too well. I went back to the hospital and they told me exactly what happened and I waited until the doctor come out and pronounced him dead. I miss him." She leaned on my shoulder and I wrapped my arms around her. She started crying and I lifted her face up and said "Sky, I hate to see you cry. I am here for you. I love you."
DID I REALLY JUST SAY THOSE THREE WORDS? I CANT BELIEVE IT.
She stared at me in shock and said "I love you too, to the moon and back." I smiled and leaned in and we kissed. I love her kisses, they're beyond perfect. She's pefect, even when she cries.
*Zacks POV*
I was listening to Numb by Linkin Park on the way to basketball pracitce. It was so cold outside I am surprised it hadn't snowed. Oh my gosh, I hate slow people on the interstate, but hey thats what the passing lane is for. Oh MY GOD! I AM SLIDING! I've spun around and.......

I opened my eyes in the hospital. I couldn't feel anything except for my eyes trying to stay open. "Sky?" I whispered and all the doctors spun around and asked what I wanted so I said "Skylar." A nurse smiled at me and said "I'll call her, I know exactly who you are talking about, her mom volunteers here." I knew I didn't have much longer, I can just tell. I was having a really hard time catching my breath and I was super tir--. I shut my eyes and fell asleep.

"He is my best friend, Is he okay? I miss him." was all I heard when I fluttered my eyes open. I told the nurse to make sure to tell her that she is still my bestfriend, and I am okay now, it's my time to go, and I miss her too. I laid my head down and prepared myself to sleep for eternity.. All I needed was to hear that voice... one. more. time....
DID YOU EXPECT THAT?!
I BET NOT.
THIS WAS SUCH AN EMOTIONAL CHAPTER TO WRITE. OMG
