Luke's POV

We held our breath as the doctor stood in front of us with the look of sorrow and apology on his face.

"Calum isn't dead" he said first.

We all let out a sigh of relief but we were still worried about the other possibilities.

"But he's not in good condition either"
Our eyes darted up to the doctor.

"Calum's been put in a coma, and we think he'll stay in this condition for a minimum of 1-2 months, maybe more.

I felt my stomach sink. My heart broke as I looked over at Danielle, who stared at him in shock. Danielle latched onto my arm and rested her head on my shoulder as she cried, and cried. I could tell she was trying hard to keep it inside, but she just couldn't. "It's gonna be okay". I whispered to her. She nodded her head but she was still crying.

"Free to visit but everyone must leave by 9:00 tonight" I guess that meant Danielle couldn't sleep at the hospital tonight, which for some reason I was kinda glad about. Everyone slowly started to leave, so it was just Danielle and I until Allison showed up.

She saw Danielle and walked away into the bathrooms. I went after her, almost completely ignoring Danielle calling. my name.

She saw me walking towards her and stopped.

"I'm sorry I came, I just- I guess I'm really sorry" she sounded really nervous. She sounded sincere, like she actually felt bad for Calum, that was probably the last thing I expected from Allison.

"You came for a reason, you wante to see if was he was okay, don't beat yourself over it, thanks for coming"

"Th-thanks" She said.

I pulled her into a hug, and she latched onto my back. Sure, Allison makes mistakes, but all of us did. We all made Calum feel alone.

"I-I'm really sorry a-about u-us" she stuttered. What did she mean us?

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I'm s-sorry th-that I g-got jealous of D-Danielle" She barely said the words without breathing heavily.

"Don't apologize, it's my fault. I should've held our past relationship against you, it was my fault we broke up anyways" I said looking down at the ground remembering all the things that happened with me and Allison. We've been through a lot together, I've helped her and she's helped me through each other's toughest times. I started to looks at Allison differently, like she was the reason we broke up, when in reality it was mine. It was my fault her dad didn't like me, I was making some bad choices, and I couldn't blame him for separating us.

"N-No it's really not, I-I know it's not your f-fault" Her words really warmed my heart and that moment I completely forgot about Danielle. I think I was just lost in memories.

"For a really long time now, I-I've been trying t-to g-get you b-back" My face shot up and looked strait at her, she was blushing, and completely as shocked as I was. Maybe she let that slip out in the moment, but I really didn't know what to think. Most of me was thinking about Danielle, but still a little whisper in my mind kept saying

"Give her a second chance"
