~Luke~

I saw her today, I couldn't even look at her. I knew what was going to happen, I heard her wail. I'm a moron for not helping her.

I miss Lara so much. I want to hold her in my arms, kiss her, and tell her it will all be okay. It will.

I get a phone call it reads 'Lara' I get excited and pick it up "Lara?" I hear crying on the other end. "its her mother" I get worried. "Is she okay?" I say, Shaking. "No when she got home, She had very bad rib pain she ended up passing out. Now she is in the hospital." I break down. "What happened? Is she going to be okay?"
I am almost screaming into the phone now. "Today when she got kicked the guy shattered one rib and broke two."
I'm already putting my shoes and leather jacket on "I'll be right there."

I hang up. Rushing to my car crying, I let it happen. This is my fault.

I start the car speeding in the rain.

I run into the hospital soaking wet,
"Who are you here for?" The receptionist asks. "L-Lara Green" I stutter crying. She nods. "Room 211 Floor 2" I thank her and run to the elevator pushing the number 2, waiting. When the door opens I run to her room sitting in the chair beside her bed, I move some hair from her sleeping face.
