Right now, I'm just having dinner with Beth. It's actually going great. We're having a fun time and the food is delicious. The only thing ruining this was that my thoughts kept drifting off to Riley. I shook it off and tried to give all my attention to Beth, even though that seemed impossible at the moment. We talked for a while and I was getting comfortable with her. I find myself leaning in, she does too we are just millimetres away when our almost-kiss is inturuppted by my phone ringing. I answer it, without checking the caller ID.
"Hello? Who is this?" I say.
"Are you James Tordjman?" A man says, not answering either questions I asked him.
"Yes. Who is this?"
"There has been a car crash involving Riley Raymond. She is at the Canadian Hospital and keeps motioning to you."
"Oh my god. Riley!! Tell her I'm coming." I say before getting up. "I'm sorry Beth. She's at the hospital. Here I'll pay." I threw her two 100$ bills, not caring that I have her too much. All I cared about now was Riley.
"Wait James what happend?!?" She asks.
"Riley. Car crash. Hospital." I yell.
"Riley?" I see a man stand up. It's Riley's dad. "James is that you?"
"Yes sir no time to explain let's go."

I'm.sitting in the hospital bed in pain. Wires are covering me. All I want is James. I see him walk in my room... with dad?!?
"Riley, Riley are you ok?" He asks, stupidly.
I can't answer because of the breathing tube thing. I nod slowly, lying.
"She passed out for about 30 minutes, has a damaged arm and she's having breathing troubles." Emily says as she hugs my dad. "But while she was passed out she kept saying your name James."
I stare at him wide-eyed as he came up running to me. He was stroking my cheek slowly. And before I knew it we were kissing. It felt magical, like fireworks. It was a short kiss. I looked up at him.
"Don't worry Ri. This will all be ok. I'm here for you and I'm never leaving. I can't lose you."
I'm thankful that I've got him back. After about 5 minutes the breathing tube is removed, I can speak again.
"Oh James, thank you so much." I say.
"Don't thank me, in fact I'm sorry."
"Sorry, why?"
"Well Ri, I wouldn't even talk to you. Or make eye contact. I didn't give you a chance to explain. And I kisse-" I crashed my lips on to his before he could say another word. We kissed for about 3 minutes before he pulled away.
"So we're good, Ri?" He asks. I nod and pull him into another kiss. I couldn't believe it. I was finally back with James. And I will never lose him again.

I'm super happy to be back with Riley. I forgave her easily because I realised how much it would have hurt if I lost her.. for good. And thankfully I haven't which makes me realise how precious she is. How much I love her. But what will I say to Beth??
