How To Save A Life

~ Mike's POV ~

It was dark as fuck but I could hear people talking. I could also feel every inch of my body, and it hurt like fucking hell. I heard a small gasp followed by a girl's voice.

"He's moving. Oh my God, he's moving. Go get Dr. Shepherd."

"Okay" said a guy. Then I heard loud footsteps like he was running. I heard them come back again.

"Oh good.. he should be coming to any minute." I presumed this was Dr. Shepherd..? After I heard footsteps again. He must have left..

I felt someone grab my hand and kiss it. I fluttered my eyes open and saw Skye standing above me. As soon as she saw me she burst into tears and hugged me.

"FUCK!" I screamed out. That hurt. "Ugh.. where am I?" I whispered. It hurt to just talk. I looked all around and saw a shit ton of people. Vic, Tony, Jaime, Cora, Ana, Emma... and Kellin. Then I remembered. I wasn't looking and the car hit me. Hard.

"Mike.. I'm so sorry. I.. I just I.." Skye was sobbing into my shoulder and stuttering everywhere.

"Its okay." I whispered. "Its not your fault. I wasn't looking when I flew out of your driveway. I should have been looking." I tried to hug her back but was restricted. I looked at my arm and my mouth dropped open. I had a huge cast going all the way from my shoulder to my wrist. "FUCK. NO. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DRUM?" I screamed. I pulled the blanket up and saw another cast on my leg. "Noooo. No no no!" I covered my face. I'm such an idiot. I felt a hand on my shoulder and look up to see Vic.

"Vic.. I'm so sorry. Now we can't play tomorrow." I looked down at my legs again. My other leg had scratches and cuts all over it. My whole body did. Damn, I was fucked.

"Mike, are you kidding me? You were in a car accident and all you care about is not being able to drum? Fuck that show. I'm just glad my brother is alive. I was so worried." I looked up and he was tearing up. "The show already passed, anyways.

"What?! How long have I been here?" I looked around. Everyone was staring at me.

Skye grabbed my hand and sat next to me. "Four days.." She whispered and looked away. I squeezed her hand gently. She looked back at me and smiled softly.

"Wow.." I said. Everything went quiet after that. A man walked in with a short blonde woman.

"I knew you'd be up soon." The man smiled. "How are you feeling?" He asked me.

"A shit ton of pain." I laughed.

"Well I'm not surprised." He laughed, too. "You completely shattered your knee and elbow. I'm not sure if.." He sighed. "If you'll be able to drum for a while. I'm so sorry. Good news is you can go home whenever you'd like. We just need you to come back in eight weeks to check on your elbow and knee. If you're feeling extreme pain please do not hesitate to come and see me."

I nodded. "Thank you Dr..." I looked at his name tag. "Shepherd." I smiled and they both left the room.

"Here are some clothes. You wont be able to wear pants so I bought you some new shorts and shirts." Vic said handing me the clothes. Everyone started piling out of the room but Skye stayed.

"I can help you if you'd like.." She said quietly.

"Uhh yeah. Looks like I'm going to need it." I chuckled and she tried to smile. "Hey. Lighten up."

She sighed heavily. "Mike! How am I supposed to fucking "lighten up"? This is all my fault, and no matter how many times you tell me it isn't, it is."

"God fucking damn it! No its not, Skye! And I don't want to hear you say it again! FUCKING OKAY?" I said a little too loudly. She flinched and got up. She ran out the door crying. "Fuck.." I whispered and punched my leg. "OW!" I sighed and Tony walked in.

"Skye said you needed help getting dressed." I nodded and he helped me stand up. "Listen, man. I know that you want her to stop saying its her fault.. but yelling at her isn't going to help." I sighed again.

"I know Tone..." He helped me balance myself so I could put my shorts on. I sat back down and put my shirt on. "Fuck.. I can't even wear shoes.." I rubbed my eyes and sighed for the millionth time today.

Tony laughed putting a shoe on my good foot and a Harry Potter sock on the other. "Aw sweet! Harry Potter sock!" I smiled.

"It was Skye's idea." Tony smiled and helped me into a wheelchair. "Guess what, bitch? Someone has to wheel you around all the time now. Lucky ass." Tony chuckled and wheeled to the others.

"Fuck yeah!" I high fived Jaime who was smiling like an idiot.

"Great to see you, man." He said.

"We're glad you're okay, Mike." Ana said while Emma nodded and smiled in agreement.

I looked around but didn't see the one person I wanted. "Hey, where's Skye?"

"Over there talking with Kellin and Sophia." Jaime said and pointed. I looked to where he was pointing and my heart stopped beating. She was standing next to this petite girl with gorgeous auburn hair and the biggest smile I've ever seen. My mouth dropped open when she looked at me. Her eyes pierced into mine.

"Who is she?" I said in a hypnotic state.

"Her name is Sophia Quinn. Kellin's little sister." Vic said and smiled at me patting my arm. "She's single, too." He chuckled.

"Good.." I said back and pounded my fist with Vic, Jaime and Tony's.

"Uhm, Mike.. what about Skye?" Cora stepped in my line of view and I looked up at her, frowning. She was right. How could I just forget her? Then I remembered Kellin. She didn't want me.. she wanted him. I sighed and my heart broke a little as I tried to sound tough.

"What about her? She doesn't want me, anyways. Time to move on and grow up." I looked away.

Cora snorted. "You don't actually think I believe that, do you?" She said dryly.

"Well you fucking should." I looked her right in the eyes. "Because I don't care for her anymore." I felt a pang in my chest but pretended I was okay.

It was sort of true.. I did need to move on..
