Cereal

James pov:
I was down in the hospitals cafeteria waiting for the two coffees when I hear someone yell my name from across the room. I turn around and see Carter running towards me with tears running down her face and a furious expression.
She finally reaches me. "Hey Carter what's wro..." but before I could finish she smacks me across the face. It stung a lot and I imagined that my face was pretty red. "What the hell?" I asked, even though I suspected she found out about Beau because Daniel was now standing behind her with an equally angry expression. "How could you?! Lie straight to my face about Beau dying!!! I was sitting there all happy that everyone was okay and then I find out that you hadn't told me that my best friend had died! DIED!!!" she yelled at me. "Carter. Please. I didn't tell you because I thought you might blame your..." she slaps me again, only this time on the other side of my face. "Don't you dare. And I'm not blaming myself James. After all, you were the one that sent me to get cereal weren't you. You were the one that DESPERATELY need that STUPID box of cinnamon toast crunch, weren't you?" "Carter. Stop it." Daniel says from behind her while he grabs her shoulder lightly. She pushes his hand away and stares me dead in the eye. "You are the reason that Beau is dead." With that she stormed of. Daniel turned to me to say something but I ran off.
As I was running I just kept running Carter's words through my head. *you are the reason that Beau is dead.* Maybe she was right. Maybe it is my fault. All of this is my fault isn't it? I sent Carter to get that cereal. And now Beau is dead because of it.
I hadn't even noticed that I had run outside but before I could register what was happening I was on the road and felt a blow come to my hip.
Then everything went dark.
