"Cassie?" I say, rushing her inside. she's shivering in my arms. Karl dosent question me, he rushes over and grabs her a water bottle from the fridge.

"My brother got in to an accident." she sobs out.

"JASON?" i yell at her, my heart clenching my chest.

"with his girlfriend." She adds.

"Ophelia..." Karl whispers and i look over at him.

"Start the car. You can leave your stuff here where heading over now." I yell at Karl and he runs outside and start the car. I balance Cassie as my brother rushes out.

"Wh- Cassie?!" He runs over.  she falls into his arms and he turns a scarlet red.

"C- can I stay with Nick?" Cassie asks, her eyes watering and she looks like she's about to burst at the seams.

"Of course. I'll take good care of her Oak. Go." he says, even though he has no idea what's going on. I jump into the car and as we leave the driveway i burst into tears, loud, painful sobs.

"babe?" Karl asks. He still seems to be in shock.

"I- I don't know why i'm crying, shouldn't i be... i don't know!" I cry out.

"Your feeling exactly how you should. Scared."

"Scared is normal. Scared is good." I hear Wilbur's brotherly advice echo in my ears.

"You loved him at one point didn't you? I would feel that way too." He says, i look over at him and my eyes are fixated on his somehow now restful face.

"What about you?" I question him.

"I never loved her Oak, I loved you." He sighs out.

"so why did you date her?" I sniff angrily at him.

"Because i wanted to get over you, i tried to with Ophelia. But when you're faced cropped when you found out. It cemented it for me." as he says that Clay calls.

"Oak?" HIs concerned voice calls my name.

"Clay... before you ask, I'm ok. I won't be long ok." Before he utters another word, I hang up. because where here. This is so daunting. his parents are going to be there. Maybe... I don't know.

We rush up and I can see him laying in a hospital bed, Karls gaze fixated on the girl staring right back at him. I grab his hand and kiss it, just like he did to me.

"Not too long OK?" he says, and i smile at him.

"Ditto." I give him a sad smile and see his parents sitting there.

"Mr and Mrs Park!" I rush in, no one stopping me.

"Oh Oakley dear." his mother smiles and gets up, taking me into her arms like she use to do when i would come over for dinner. Mr Park doing the same.

"H- how is he?" i ask hesitantly.

"His going to be alright." His mother says, in a tone that makes my insides melt with sorts of relief.

"Thank God." I sigh out, falling into a chair. The boy in the bed groans.

"Davis, is that you?" His parents leave us alone as i rush to his bed side, grabbing his hand and placing it against my forehead.

"God Jesus park, what where you thinking?" I cry out, sobbing into his bed sheets. He runs his hand through my hair and i look up, asking him to give me a response.

"I ran a red light... I didn't see the car coming from my right." He looks away from me.

"God Jason, am i ever going to get rid of you." 

"Tonight should have." he whispers out.

"DON'T SAY THAT JASON!" I yell at him, and his face softens. Like this is a good memory to him.

"Don't give me that look. Jason I loved you, this is you fault. You dug your own grave and you know that." I say, calming down and grabbing his hand again.

"I loved  you. So much." he says rather desperately. 

LIES, LIES ALL LIES. I break down into a fit of sobs. The pain of seeing him like this, of knowing he still wants me breaks me. Because I don't want him anymore, I don't ever want to see him again. But he sister showed up at my door.

"You sister... she showed up tonight." I sigh out.

"i gave her Karl's address, I figured you where living there after you left college." He shrugs as i see Karl come to the entrance of the door.

"Visitng hours are up." He says and i get up shaking Jasons hand from mine. I get up slide into the crook of Karl's arm and stare at him.

"Last time ok?" I say. Part of me feels terrible for leaving him, and the other part of me is forcing me not to. But we leave and warm up the car, sweater weather begging to play from the radio. Karl places me in his lap in the front seat and he stares at me.

"No more crying ok?" He whispers as he presses his lips against mine, the song adding to the tension of the moment. His eyes glowed from the led light of the hospital.

my cheeks flushed as i stared at him, he smiled.

"I know, just.. kiss me." I mutter.
