"I think I've seen this film before
And I didn't like the ending"

Elizabeth Pov

This past week has been terrible. Y/n has been on my mind constantly, and the arguments with Robbie don't make anything better. I've come to a realization that nothing will ever be the same again, and no one is to blame but myself. I didn't realize how much I'd missed her until that day. The way she looked at me never left my thoughts. I didn't see the person I fell in love with. It all feels like a bad dream I'm incapable of waking up from. It's endless pain, everyday, and it's only getting worse.

That night keeps replaying in my head, of how I treated her. Maybe, if I didn't go to the hospital, it wouldn't have happened. If only I'd stayed with her, the love of my life. I'd like to think somewhere, in some reality, somehow, we stayed with eachother, together. There's nothing more I want than to be in her safe embrace, getting lost in the comfort of her caressing my face, placing gentle kisses on my forehead. Though, I destroyed us. I wouldn't ever get what we had back, it's unrealistic. But, it feels impossible to let her go.

My sleeping hasn't been good either, and quite frankly, it never was. Without her, I'm nothing. Ever since that night at the club, I've had this need to be around her, in her presence. 

"Lizzie? What's wrong?" I could hear Aubrey call me, breaking me out of my deep thoughts.

"W-what?"

"You dozed off there for a second. What's going on?"

I gave her a weak smile as I tried to pull myself together. Unfortunately, it seemed quite impossible. "Lizzie, why are you crying?"

I didn't realize that I was crying until Aubrey pointed it out. I was a complete mess, and I did it to myself. Each day, it was becoming harder to keep myself together. "I-I ruined us, Aubrey." I cried out.

Aubrey didn't say anything, only pulling me into a warm hug, rubbing my hair as an attempt to calm me down. In this moment, there was nothing more I wanted than to be with Y/N. I couldn't take back what I did that night, so I had to deal with the punishments. I could hear myself calling out Y/N's name, but I didn't care. And for a second, I even imagined that I was in Y/N's safe embrace, but I immediately snapped back to reality. Flashbacks of that night appeared in my mind, only making things worse.

"I'm his emergency contact." I frantically tell the nurse.

"Okay ma'am, his room number is 37."

I immediately rushed back there, wanting to get this over with. All I wanted to do was spend this night with Y/n, especially after everything she'd done to make this date perfect. As I walked into the hospital room, I immediately froze at the sight. Robbie was tied to multiple machines, I was in shock.

"Robbie, what the hell happened?" I ask, taking in the sight.

Before I could get an answer, I see the doctor walk inside. "Ms. Olsen?" He asks, and I turn my attention over to him. "Y-yes?"

"I'm told you are his emergency contact, since Mr. Arnett has no immediate family. Is that correct?"

"Y-yeah, it is."

"I'm sorry to inform you, but he was involved in a fatal car crash. He seems to have a concussion, broken ribs, along with a broken arm. We managed to perform surgery on him, and he's lucky to be alive. He can be taken home in a few days, but he will need constant attention and homecare."
