Never Say A Word

Chapter 19

Calum's mom looked at me shocked and confused.
"Cal- Lk-!" I tried to say their names.
"What?" She asked.
"CALL 911!" I bawled.
"Why what happened?!"
"They-! C-!" I couldn't get anything out. She ran outside and screamed seeing her son dead on the street. I collapsed but I didn't hit the ground. Michael caught me.
"What the fuck happened?!" He yelled scared. Ashton ran over to them.
"Call 911!" I cried and Michael took me to the front steps telling me to sit. He sat next to me having his arm around me. He got out his phone and called them. He choked trying not to cry as he hugged me tighter. He hung up and picked me up putting me on his lap. I cried into his shoulder and he started to cry hugging me tight. We soon heard the sirens and when I looked over at them they were putting them in two ambulances. Calum's mom got in the one with Calum but nobody went with Luke. Then Ashton came over to us.
"Hurry lets go follow!" Ashton said but I shook my head looking up at him. "We have to. Please guys." He wiped away his tears.
"Fine. Come on Jennifer." Michael said and he carried me bridal style to Ashton's car.

We got to the hospital and sat in a waiting room for both of them.
"We're you there?" Ashton asked me. I nodded looking down at my feet. They both hugged me.
"What happened?"
"Calum saw Luke sitting on the curb, so he went to go yell at him for kissing me. They got in a fight and Calum pinned Luke down in the middle of the street...Then the car came." I choked. They both hugged me in a group hug again.

A nurse came out of the room Calum was in and I ran up to her.
"Is he going to be ok?" I asked.
"We don't know yet." She said and my heart sank. "He's gotta stay strong and be a fighter." She said.
"But how is he supposed to do that if he's not awake?"
"He knows." She said and walked away. What?

Calum's POV.

I'm still confused on what happened. All I know is I'm in the hospital and hurt very badly. Am I a ghost? I see myself laying in a hospital bed, but I'm right here. I look down and I can see my feet. I can see my arms and all. I've been watching them trying to find all the things wrong with me, I couldn't feel any pain. I slipped through the door and found a waiting room. I saw my mom, Jennifer, Michael, and Ashton. All of them tearful.
"Jennifer? What happened?" I asked sitting next to her. She didn't answer. "Jennifer? Jennifer!" I said louder but still nothing. I looked at Michael and went over to him. "Michael what's happening?" He didn't answer either. I started to get annoyed. "Somebody!" I yelled looking at all of them. "Mom?" I asked. Nothing. Then Michael got up. He looked down at Jennifer.
"Want to come with me?"
"Where are you going?" She looked up at him.
"To get a snack. I saw a vending machine when we came here. I'll buy you something."
"I'm not hungry."
"Will you come with me though? Please?"
"Yeah I will." She got up and he hugged her wiping away her tears with his thumb. He kept an arm over her shoulders as they walked. I followed them listening to their convocation.
"What did the nurse say?"
"That they don't know if he'll live. That he's gotta stay strong and fight." She looked at him. How am I supposed to fight? I'm unconscious. They got to the vending machine and Michael got a snack. They stood there and talked for a little.
"Hey." Michael said calmly putting his hands on her shoulders. She looked up at him. "You ok?" She stared up at him for a second then shook her head starting to cry again. "Come here." He said and he wrapped his arms around her hugging her tight. "He'll be ok. I promise you'll wake up with him before you know it."
"What if he isn't ok?" She cried.
"He will be, I promise." He whispered. He pushed her off gently and smiled tears now in both of their eyes. "Now, I know Calum won't be happy with me doing this, but you need one, I need one." He whispered the last part. Then he kissed her. Anger raged inside of me, but then I remembered what kind of situation they're both in. If I did end up dying, I wanted Michael to be hers. I needed to let him know. But how? They went back to the waiting room and I followed far behind.

I was exploring the building. I didn't go far so I didn't get lost. I was going down a hallway when I heard something.
"Calum!" Someone yelled mad. I turned around and Luke was there angry. His hands in fists, face all red, biting hard down on his teeth. He ran over to me and tackled me. He sat on my stomach and held down my wrists.
"How can you see me? Nobody else can?" I asked.
"I'm in the same damn situation as you! And it's all your fault!" He said the last part through is teeth.
"My fault?! How is it my fault?" I yelled a little.
"I tried saving you! But no you decided to pin me down when the car hit!"
"We got hit by a car?!"
"Yes! I had you pinned down in the middle of the road, then I saw the car and got off! I tried to pushed you out of the way then you pinned me down! My head was stuck under the tire! IM DEAD!!!"
"Wait, are you actually dead?!"
"No, but I have a bigger chance of dying than living." He sighed sad. Then he looked mad again. "But you! You won't die! You have a bigger chance of living! You killed me! You did it on purpose didn't you!"
"What no!" I yelled at him.
"I don't believe you!"
"I hate your fucking guts, but I wouldn't kill you!"
"Well now you did!"
"You said that you're not dead!"
"How the hell am I supposed to live in my situation?" He yelled.
"You'll live!"
"NO I WONT!" He yelled and slapped me.
"You do know that we can't get hurt right?" I asked and he looked at me. "See." I said and pinched him.
"...Fuck! I was planning on almost killing you." He said and I barely giggled. "Well...now what?" He asked and he got off of me. I sat up and we stared at each other then laughed.
"How about while we're like this, we get along?" I asked and he thought for a moment.
"Nobody finds out about it and we never speak of it."
"If we remember all of this when we wake up."
"Yeah. Hey do you know where Jennifer is?"
"Yeah follow me." I said and we ran down the hall to the waiting room. Jennifer wasn't there. Neither was Michael. "Ummm maybe they're over here..." I said and we ran down another hall to where the vending machine was. I stopped and looked at them shocked. Michael had her against the wall kissing her.
"Uh-oh..." Luke looked at them then me.
"Michael we shouldn't be doing this." Jennifer said between his kisses.
"Nobody will know." He told her. "Besides, you know you want to."
"...very true." She said wrapping her arms around his neck.
"GET THE HELL OFF OF HER!!" I yelled even though he couldn't hear me. I tried to go after him but Luke held me back.
"Calum! It's no use! They can't see or hear us. Just leave them." I looked back at him with tears in my eyes. He let go of my arm and I started to cry. She loved Michael, not me.
"Go get more doctors!" Someone yelled racing down the hall. The two stopped and saw the way they were going. They ran down the hall with them. The doctors ran into the room I was in. "We're gonna loose him!"
