I woke up to loud yelling coming from next door. I blinked and looked around. Its been about two months since school started. I threw on a hoodie and a pair of pajama pants then walked to the window after hearing a door slam. The one day I make Shawn go home. I watched him for a minute. He began to cross the street... And a car came speeding towards him. My heart stopped. He was on the ground. I ran outside to him, too afraid to cry and also too much in love to laugh. I screamed. Just screamed. Then suddenly I made words of the screams. I was screaming "Somebody call 911 now!" A person came outside, already on the phone. He helped me carry Shawn to the sidewalk. I held him. Then I checked for a pulse. It was beating... Barely. And then I cried. I held him and cried into his chest. And then calmed. Only because the ambulance was on its way. When they got there, I rode in the back with Shawn and a paramedic. They checked everything. I wanted to hold his hand, but I wasn't sure that it wouldn't hurt him worse. Finally, after what seemed like hours, we got to the hospital. And they sent me to the waiting room. There, I called Billy from Shawn's phone, which they handed to me. Billy picked up. I told him. He said he'd be right over.
When Billy got there, Shawn was in a room. And barely breathing still. They said he might not wake up. That he still has a chance. I walked out of the room. Billy walked after me, but I started running. "Cadi where ar-" and that was all I heard. Then I was out of the hospital. I still had Shawn's phone. I ran faster, towards the woods. I ran until I reached a clearing. I sat down and sobbed. I just let it out. I had run away. Run away from my everything.
