Chapter 63

Elena's POV
I ran to the ambulance and they shut the door and rushed to the hospital. I quickly got in my car leaving the scene of the accident and drive just as fast as the ambulance. I didn't give a shit at the moment, Cole just..he just needs to be okay.

I saw them rush and I mean rush the hell out of Cole into the emergency room. Of course being me I ran to him sobbing again at the fact that his monitor was still flatlined.

"I need a crash cart!" One of the doctor's said.

"Charge it to 20!" She repeated right there in front of almost everyone in the waiting room which wasn't much. I just held my hands extremely close to my chest just hoping it would start beating again.

"Clear!" I heard her say seeing Cole's body jump up.

"He not responding, CLEAR!" I heard her say again. Then she waited looking at the monitor...

"He's back with us, sweetie hang in there!" The doctor said rushing him into a room.

I swear I felt like I could finally breathe. I was gonna fall to the floor in exhaustion but one of the doctors caught me.

"Sit down, her drink some water. You're gonna pass out.. Don't worry he's in good hands." He guy said. I couldn't make out his name tag because my eyes were blurry.

I waited there alone, and waited, and just waited.. Why were they taking so long.. Then I thought how he probably needed surgery. The gash in his stomach had glass.

I looked down at my clothes to see that I had blood all over me.. I walked really slow to my car and just grabbed some clean clothes. Then I went back to the hospital and went to go freshen up in the restroom.

I cleaned my hands and anywhere else I had blood. I had blood stains on my stomach that bled through my shirt.
My hands were now shaking at the thought of seeing Cole. The memory kept playing back and fourth in my head. Him telling me that he's sorry.

I finally cleaned up and put the bag of clothes in my car. I didn't know why I didn't throw it away. I should of considering I didn't wanna think about it but I just kept it anyways.

I walked back into the lobby and sat down with my head in my hands. I was mainly trying to block out all the stuff in my head. It was just constant reminders of everything. All the bad things Cole and I said to each other.. We were so so close. And it's so sad to think how much can happen in a second. I remembered something important. Never take life for granted, you're never guaranteed another day.

I jumped when I heard my phone ringing to see that it was Justin.
I didn't feel like answering but I did anyways. I wasn't going to shut out Justin, it wasn't right for me to do that.

"Hello.." I said weakly.

"Elena! Oh my gosh you're okay!" He said sounding relieved.

"What are you talking about?" I said realizing the paparazzi's took pictures of me.

"You're all over the news.. Car crash, blood.. I thought it was you.." Justin said worried.

"I'm okay." I said coldly.

"What happened?" He asked.

I swallowed hard considering I had thee hugest lump in my throat.

"Cole.. he got in an accident." I said holding in my tears.

"Wh-what how why? You guys talk?" He asked. I honestly didn't feel like talking I was just shutting down even more and I don't know how many times a person can shut down in a day but I was passed my breaking point.

I started sobbing quietly not wanting Justin to hear.

"I-I.. I gotta go Justin." I said breathing between every word calming myself down and then I hung up before he could say something else.

I waited there for about another 2 hours when someone put a hand on my face lifting it up. I opened my eyes to see the little boy that I saved. He had a bandage around his head and then he said something.

"Tank, tank you." He said with a smile.

I shed a tear and smiled giving him a big bear hug. I saw the doctor look at me giving me consent to watch over him. I smiled and then she left as I put Liam in my lap.

"My daddy is dead huh?" He said looking at me with his big brown eyes.

I smiled at him as I cupped his cheek as I nodded. It was quite sad, this little boy was stronger than me. His father just died and he's not even crying. Yet Cole over here has me broken. Seemed odd.. too odd.

"My daddy drank a looot." He said playing with my fingers. That's when it hit me and anger boiled inside my whole body. I was starting to realize the whole scenario.

"Liam.. did your father hit you..?" I asked not wanting to ask him. I mean he was still a kid. He was about 4-5ish.

"Juss jus sometimes, he hit my mommy.." He said looking at me dead in the eye and that's when a nurse came over to me.

"You're friend's still in surgery, but you're the only person Liam seems to like. We weren't able to get in contact with any of his family members. So as of now we're giving you the information." She said worried.

"Follow me." She said as I stood up and carried Liam in my arms.

"Mommy!" Liam said getting out of my arms as I set him on his mother's bed.

Thing was she didn't even smile. She looked confused which pissed me off.

"Nurse who's this?" Liam's mom said.

"Are you serious?" I said angrily.

Then the nurse looked at me telling me to calm down.

"No! How dare you! You don't even remember your son! All because of you I might lose my friend! You should of stopped your husband! You should have done something earlier! Liam deserves a better life and you just ruined it for the rest of him damn life!" I said not realizing the tears spilling from my eyes.

Then the nurse grabbed me pushing me outside to leave Liam and his so called mother alone.

"No! I wanna go wit her!" Liam yelled.

The I picked up Liam and left the room. Yeah I knew the story. Liam's dad was abusive and he probably got in the car drunk as hell, hit Cole's car, and here we are.

"It's okay Liam. Everything's gonna be okay, I promise you that." I said holding him tight.
