Chapter Three

-Abel's POV-

"She isnt responding. Take her to the ER, STAT!" I heard the voices of many doctors conversing about Val. I sat in the fetal positon on one of the chairs in the waiting room, crying softly to myself. I wanted to cry my lungs out, but I knew this wouldnt bring her back. 

When I go to the studio, I saw all my friends and co-workers smoking and I could tell they were starting to get high. I walked over to Alex, who had called me, and said "Aye, was up?" He turned around and said "Well, we decided that we are gonna drop Trilogy on November 13 and we wanted to go out and celebrate" I felt an extreme amount of happines and said "Of course ! Lets go. Where we headed?" He opened the dorr and said "Night Lights". I immediatly felt excited and headed out the door. I hopped in his car and we started to drive to "Night Lights". "Night Lights" is a popular club with the best drinks and dancers. 

He was driving and I had shotgun. He put in some random CD and turned the volume up loud. "Rella" by Odd Future started blasting. He passed the blunt to me and I took a long hit of it. I started to feel more hyed up and began dancing in my seat. He took it backb, tu before it got to his lips, I grabbed  it back. Just as I was about to take a long drag of it, he let go off the wheel and attacked me for it. I fought back and the car gean to spin out of control. We hit something, and we hit fast with a great amount of impact. The car continued to spin and then we hit a brick wall. Alex lurched foward out of his seat and went through the windshelid with a loud cry. I just flew foward and hit the dash. 

The car stopped moving and everything around me was still and quiet. My head was punding and I could feel my warm blood trickling down my face. I lifted my body and drug myself out the car onto a patch of grass. From beehind me, I heard a slught ticking, and then the car combusted into flames. I grabbed onto the grass and dragged my half numb body across the grass in a desprate attempt to   not get set on fire. I made it to the road and used a near by phone pole to stand up. 

I looked over to where the car was and saw firetrucks approaching. Everything arond me seemed to  be moving in slow motion. I turned around and saw a girl on the ground. She looked injurned then I realized it was probaly the thing we hit before we hit the wall. I slowly walked over to her. As I go closer, she looked more and more fimilar. When I reached her, I brushed back her long black hair, and then realized it was Val. I jumped back shocked and felt my knees go weak. The ground soon came closer to my face and I was surronded by darkness. 

I came out of my flashback realizing I couldnt rember anything else. I felt my warm tears fall at a steady pace down my face. I wiped them away and stretched out my legs. I had bandages all over me, which were put on by someone, and my whole bady ached. I stretched out my arms and cracked my knuckles. 

When i finished stretching my limbs, I sat still in my chair. All around me I was surronded by echoes of scilence. "Exuse me sir...Mr.Tesfaye?" I qucikly jumped out of my phase and turned to the source of the voice. IT came from a young blonde with a curvy figure that was slightly hidden by her nurses uniform. "Yes", I replied. "We just wanted to give you a check up to make sure that you arent seriously injured. Follow me. " I simply nodded and followed her. She walked to the end of a hallway and we stepped into a brightly lit room with a huge window. "Take a seat, a doctor will be with you soon." I nodded and she headed out the door closing the door with a smal click. 

I sat down and looked around at the posters in the room. A poster about Flu shots. One about pregnancy. One about allergies. After I read all of them, I got kinda bored and looked at my watch for a refrence to the time. The face of my watch was crockaed to the point where I couldnt see anyhting.  I groaned out loud and looked around somemore. I spotted a stack of magazines and grabbed the first on on top. I looked at the cover Seventeen.  I opened it and flipped through the pages. I looked through the various pictures of models, famous pop singers and girl clothing. 

When I got to the last page, I saw somehting interesting. A photo of a girl holding hands with a child and they were both crying. Under it it read "Daughter devestated after death of father". I looked closer and recognizin the older girl as Val's sister. I was about to start reading the story, when the door busted open. I dropped the magazine from the sudden noise and looked at who came through the door. 

"Helloe Mr. Tesfaye. Im Dr.Williams. " she said while lookin down at a clipboard. I got up and picked the magazine off the floor. When I looked up I saw that she was a short light skinned woman with long light brown wavy hair and a petie frame. She looked up at me and flashed a million dollar smile. I felt my blood heat up and then retreaded back to where I was sitting. 

"Ok, so I'm just going to check you blood pressure and tempeture and examine your cuts." I nodded and just stared dead ahead. She placed the blood pressure checker thing, I dont know what its called, around my arm and chcked it. When it got really tight, she let the air go and took it off. "Your blood pressure its good, now lift your tounge up so I can out this under it." I did as she said and she slid the cold metal rod under my tounge. I closed my mouth and about 5 seconds later it beep. 'Your  tempeture is good too. Now I need to asset your cuts. Can you stand up?" I stood up and she began to unwrap my bandages. When she unwrapped the first one from my upper arm, it sung really bad so I let out a little whine. Her hands imidetly retreted and she said 'Sorry, I didnt mean to hurt you.' "You didnt, it just kind of stings." "Ok" she said. She took off the other two, one on my wrist and on my shin, and thre away the bloody bandges. When she did that, I relaized that half my shirt was missing, and my shorts had holes. I also noticed that even though we went through that tragic accident, I was only minorly hurt. 

"I'll be back in one secon Mr. Tesafye, I just need to grab some cleaning stuff." "Ok, and call me Abel." "Ok, Abel, I'll back" I smiled at her as she walked out the door. I stood up and stretched my sore limbs. I reached up to the celing, and then stretched to my toes. I flexed ech part of my body and suddenly felt more relaxed. I sat back down and then Val popped into my mind. I suddenly got extremly sad and felt the tears start up again. I pulled my knees up to my chest and buried my face into the small space. I let my tears fall in large amounts soaking my shorts. The more I thought about her and what happened, the more tears fell from my eyes. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I jumped up. "Im sorry, I didnt mean to startle you..are you ok?" I just noded a little and wiped my eyes. 

I blinked few times and when my eyes fully adjusted I saw her saw her two hazel orbs staring into my eyes. "Are you sure you're ok?" she said while lightly placing her hand on my thigh. I looked at hr said "For now I am". She looked at me with eyes full of remorse and said "I heard what happened, I hope she gets better." I just stared at her and she stard back. 

"Well why dont we get you cleaned up?" she said breking the awakward scilence. I just nodded and she begn her work. As she prepared the stuff, Val continued to run through my mind but I wasnt going cry, not anymore. As she cleaned my wounds, I winced a little because it really burned. The amount of pain I showed, was much less then the real pain I felt inside. 

When she cleaned the las cut, she bandaged them up and handed me a slip of paper. "Give this to the ladies at the front desk and then you will be able to leave." She looked down the entire time so I ust mumbled a small thanks and limped out of the room. I walked up to the desk and gave the woman the slip. She checked me out and as I headed out of the hospital, I thought "I wonder how Val's doing?"
