Stay With Me [Rockliff fanfic]

*Ellington's Point Of View*

People often fall in love in the most mysterious ways, you know? I think, for me, it was when Rocky got hit by a drunk driver on his way to the house.

It wasn't until I saw his lifeless body just lying there on that hospital bed, with so many needles and ivs hooked up to him. He looked so.. so.. He didn't look like himself, yet, I still wanted to kiss him, I wanted to hug him and tell him that I love him. I wanted him to be alive and well again.

I wanted Rocky back.

I remember that day all too well. I remember that Riker, Ryland, Rydel, and Ross had went on vacation with Stormie and Mark, and Rocky and I didn't go. I remember Rocky had left to go get us food or something, and I waited about an hour, when suddenly I saw blue and red flashing lights outside the window, and there was a knock at the door.

I was afraid to open it, but I did, there stood a policeman asking if I was related to Rocky Lynch, and I told them that I wasn't but his relatives weren't here and I was his close friend. I was then informed by the officer that Rocky had been in a real bad accident and he might not make it.

That night was when I realized I loved Rocky, but I was too late. I could have sworn my world was just crumbling down. My heart was in pieces, and I didn't know what to do or say. I was frozen for a few moments before the policeman took me to see Rocky at the hospital.

As soon as I saw Rocky, I lost it. I fell apart.. I was too late.
