What was I thinking? Why was I hesitating? I love him. Yet, I'm still hesitating. Why can't I date him? He said he would never leave me, and I believe him, so why can't it just come out of my mouth?

"Ej.. I think I'm ready." I say.

He smiles at me and before I knew it I was up in the air in his arms.

"Ej!!" I laugh

He hugs me tight and I do too. I never want this moment to end. But, in this story, good things always come to an end, even when you least expect it.

He sets me down as I hear a ring on my phone. It was my brother, Jamie. God, what does he want now after he almost ruined the relationship between me and Ej?

"What's up Jamie?" I say try not to sound annoyed.

"Mom... she.. She got into a very bad accident, Gina. She's in a coma.."

"What?! For how long?! Will she be okay?! What happened?! Jamie, where is she? I need to be there right now."

"Is everything okay, Gina?" Ej whispered.

"No Ej.. my mom.. She's in a coma.."

His eyes grew larger.

"What?"

"Jamie, where is she?" He gave me the address. Ej drove me to the hospital. Once we drove to the hospital I went to see my mom. I saw her connected to all these wires and tubes and I turned to Ej. I felt a single tear roll down my cheek as Ej pulled me in and gave me a hug. I was so scared of what was gonna happen. I felt so bad for my mom, I haven't seen her in ages. She never deserved this. I should have been there, I shouldn't have been playing lovey dovey with Ej. I should have been there for my mom, and I wasn't. This is all my fault. I can't do this with Ej, I just got distracted because of him, and if I wasn't with him I would be with my mom and she wouldn't be in a coma. I don't think I can date Ej, ever. I pulled away from the hug and looked at my mom. I wiped a tear from my face and stood there silent looking at my mom.

"I can't do this Ej." I say looking down.

"I'm sure your mom will be fine Gina, and I'm always here."

"Not that." I said.

"Then what can't you do?"

"This. Us. If I weren't with you, I would be with my mom, and none of this would have happened. It's all my fault."

"No, Gina. It's not your fault. This was an accident, and you couldn't have stopped it."

"If I was there Ej, I could have!" I turned around wiping another tear away from my face

"Gina, don't do this to yourself. Don't put this on yourself, it's not your fault."

"My mom.. She's the only parent I have left, I can't lose her.. And if I do, no one will forgive me. I won't even forgive myself."

He pulls me into a tight hug.

"It isn't because of you Gina, I promise. All we can do is wait and find out. And if anything happens... don't put yourself to the blame, okay?" He says, wiping a tear away from my cheek.

I give a weak smile.

"Thank you Ej, I love you."
I sat down on the chair and looked at my mom.

"I hope she will be okay, I don't know what I would do if she wasn't." I sniffled a little.

Ej nodded.w oddd

"I think we should leave, I don't want to get all emotional again." I say to Ej.

He agrees and we walk back to the car. I take a deep sigh and lean my head back on the headrest. Today was going to be a long day.
