Chapter 8: Hit and Run

A/N
I'm writing this on my phone because my sister is on my laptop /: so bare with me here.
*********************
Nikki's P.O.V:

I wake up and notice that I'm in my bed. That's weird because Michael and I were on the couch. MICHAEL! Where'd he go? I dial his number and try to call him. Nothing. No answer. Something's wrong and I can feel it. I go downstairs to see if maybe he's still here. I see Miyah in the kitchen and walk over to her.

"Hey cuz, where is Michael?" I ask her curiously.

"Oh, he left like 10 minutes ago, sweetie." She told me.

"Ok. Maybe that's why he isn't answering my phone calls." I told her.

But I feel weird. I can feel something. I told Miyah that I was going on a walk. I walk for a while thinking about how my life has changed. I don't go to a shitty school anymore, I don't have people lying to me left and right. But most importantly I have Michael. He really cares about me and I love that. I couldn't ask for a better... Friend? We haven't talked about what we are, but "friends" don't make out with each other. So hopefully he likes me too.

The peaceful silence is broken by sirens.

"What is going on?" I say to myself.

I turn the corner and see Michael's Jeep. Oh no. Oh my gosh. I start to see tears in my eyes. This can't be happening. I got her in time to see them put Michael on a stretcher. I yell through my tears at the paramedics.

"Wait! Wait! I need to be with him. Let me go with you. Please!" I beg them while tears rush down my face. They look at each other and nod.

"Come on Miss. You're friend was t-boned by a truck. Hit and run actually. He's unconscious right now, and his head is bleeding. But the bleeding is under control and he'll be ok. Don't worry." The paramedic told me, assuring me that Michael will be okay.

"Thank you. I can't belie that someone would hit him and just drive away. What a douche." I say while holding Michael's hand. I can't believe this. At least he's ok. His heart monitor is beeping regularly. I sigh in relief.

Suddenly, Michael starts shaking. Oh my gosh. No.

"Miss please step back." The other paramedic pulls me away from Michael. I hear the two talking to each other saying that he must have bleeding in his brain which is causing the seizure.(idk if that is the cause of a suizure, so don't listen to me.) But then Michael stops shaking and looks peaceful again. Like nothing ever happened. We arrive at the hospital and they take him to get an MRI to see if his brain is bleeding. I am told to sit in the waiting room until they have information to tell me. I call Michael's mom and tell her what happened. 10 minutes later her and Michael's dad came running through the door. They came over to me and asked what had happened, so it told them everything that I knew. I have become very close with them too. I've been over a few times since Michael and I met. We had a project in biology together. I also texted Luke and Tori. They just arrived.

"Nikki! Where is he? Is he okay?" They both ask me at the same time.

I tell them I everything that I know. Right as I finish telling them, the doctor comes out and asks for Michael Clifford's family.

"Michael Clifford's family?" The doctor asks smiling at all of us.

"Yes sir, we are his parents, those are his friends, and this is Michael's girlfriend." Karen tells the doctor. My eyes widen at the mention of me being his girlfriend. I can feel my checks heat up so I look down. I like the sound of that though. Michael's girlfriend.

"Michael had bleeding in the brain, which caused him to have a seizure. He is unconsious at the moment. But I am happy to tell you that the bleeding has stopped and he will be okay." The doctor explains Michael's condition to us. We all sigh in relief.

"Can we see him now?" I desperately ask the doctor. He smiles at me and nods.

"Yes you can. But one at a time." He smiles at me. He leads us to his room and then walks off quietly. Michael's mom goes in first. He's a BIG momma's boy, man. He will do anything that his mom says when she says it. We all sit in the chairs that are outside of his room. I still feel weird that I was called Michael's girlfriend. I turn to his dad and say,"You know, Mikey and I aren't dating." I tell him, laughing a little.

"I know. But I know that he likes you, Nikki. And I can see that you like him too." He smirks at me. He's smart.

"Yeah yeah." I smirk back.

After about 30 minutes, and Michael's mom and dad have both seen him, I get to go in. I walk in and see him with tubes all over his body. His heart monitor is at a steady, normal rate. I walk over to him and notibe a bandage on his forehead. He looks so innocent. Like an angel. I softly grab his hand and sit down in the chair beside his bed. I lace our fingers together and kiss his cheek softly. I then lay my head on our interlaced hands and begin talking to him.

"Michael, you probably can't hear me but I don't care. I need someone to talk to and that someone is always you. And I hope that it will always be you. Please wake up. I will never forgive myself if you don't wake up. If I hadn't invited you inside, and fall asleep, then this would have never happened. I'm so sorry. Please don't stop fighting. I want to always be with you. We are a team now, Clifford. Where you go, I go. And if you leave, I won't be able to live without you." I say looking at our hands that are now wet from my tears. I feel his hand move which makes me look up at him.

"I'm okay. Come here." He says as he opens up his arms. I jump into them in a heart beat.

"Oh my gosh. You scared me, Michael. I thought that I was gonna lose you." I told him still crying.

"It's ok now. Hey, please don't cry. See I'm okay!" He says while making a silly face. I laugh at him and just look into his eyes.

"By the way, I heard everything that you said. I wouldn't be able to live without you either, Nik." Michael says as he pulls me in for a tight hug. He kisses the top of my head before pulling out of our hug and missing my forehead, then my lips. I smile at him and kiss him again.

"Oh! I should go to them that you're awake! I'm such a goober." I say laughing at myself. I walk to the door and stick my head out.

"Hey guys, Mikey's awake." I tell them. They're eyes light up with happiness.

"I'll go tell the doctor." Michael's dad says.

The doctor tells us to wait outside while he checks on Michael. After 10 minutes he comes back out and says that Michael is ok. But they will need to keep him overnight. Well, I guess I'm sleeping in the hospital then. As long as he's ok, I'm ok.
