Rusty's POV
We were mucking around on her lawn and I was almost about to kiss her when Jo came out with her phone with Drake on the other end. I laid back and looked up at the sky as she spoke. I started to focus on the conversation they were having only to realise what it was about. She'd had sex with him, with Drake of all people! Yeah he was my mate but he was a player, he gets girls to like him and he tells them he loves them until he gets what he wants and then dumps them. I didn't want that for Tiffany! I loved her not Drake. She was meant to be with me but I just don't have all the charms all the money. My heart stopped, how could she do this? Couldn't she see what he was doing? I got up and started to walk home. I couldn't look at her, she'd broken my heart and I needed to be as far away from her as possible. I was almost home when heard her voice crying out to me but I ignored her. How could she do this to me? I told her I loved her! I'd shown her I did too but she chose him over me. I couldn't handle it. I hear her call out again but this time there's a loud horn from a car. I spin around to see her looking at the car moving towards her. I see the shock in her eyes as she looks at the car then me. I don't think, I start to run towards her but as I get close I watch the car ram into her fragile body, hearing almost every bone breaking as it slams into her. I scream out her name but her eyes are closed. The car slams on the brakes as her body slams into the ground with a loud thud! I run to her side but she's unconscious "Tiff" I keep repeating as I hold her hand.
I stroke her cheek but I get no response "Tiff" I keep saying when I hear her mother's voice screaming out.
I look up at the driver who's in shock but is on the phone. Everything is moving so slowly as I hold her hand "Tiffany! Please wake up" I beg.
Tears falling down my face, she moans a little and tries to move her head but I tell her to hold on and not move "An ambulance is on the way" A voice beside me says.
I look over at the driver who's crying themselves. I just nod before focusing on Tiffany. I feel people beside me. I briefly look up and see Tiffany's parents and Jo, they're crying uncontrollably and my heart stops.
I hear the sirens coming closer but I can't let her go. Soon the paramedics are on site and are trying to get her up and in the ambulance. I don't want to let go in case it's the last time I get to touch her warm hand but they make me let go and rush her to the ambulance. I stand there dumb founded. Everything in my body is numb and I can't concentrate. I watch as the ambulance leaves with her parents inside. I look to my side and hear sobs to find Jo with her hands over her face crying. I wrap my arms around her and press her against me "It's okay, she's in good hands. She'll be okay" I didn't know who I was trying to convince me or her, either way I had to believe that Tiffany was going to be okay.
She had to be! She was the love of my life. I've never felt like this with anyone. The way she smiles and laughs brightens up my heart. I need her to be okay. I rush Jo over to my car as Gabe runs up and asks what's going on. Jo latches onto him crying uncontrollably and I tell him to get in. They get in and I explain what happened to him. He starts to cry with her and then I start to feel like all this was my fault. If only I'd turned around or even waited to ask for an explanation from her after the call but no I'm too pig headed to do that. I had to ignore her and now I could have lost her? I run my hands through my hair and sigh. This was all my fault!
We got to the hospital and we rushed to the waiting room where Jo and Tiffany's parents were. They looked up as we opened the door. Gabe had kept Jo up for support as her legs kept giving way. I was crying with them as we arrived. Jo ran into their arms and they cried. My hear broke and fell out on my chest, look what I've done. I only loved her and look what I've done to them. I've broken them all and possibly lost the love of my life? Jo's parents told us to sit and then her Dad came up to me, his eyes were red and puffy. I was scared he was going to kill me for doing this to his daughter but he placed his hand on my shoulder and said "Thanks for trying to help Rusty. I know Tiffany means a lot to you?" I smiled slightly
