For the Better or Worse? | Book 1 | Xiuhan/Lumin| -Rewriting-

Chapter 15: Again

10 minutes before

Luhan raced down the rode in an amazing speed. It was quite odd how he hasn't been pulled over in the past half hour. He was slowly losing hope in finding Xiumin and what made it worse was that he couldn't contact him. All his messages and calls weren't answered. His grip on the steering wheel was so hard that his knuckles turned white. His eyes were all over the place and he went from place to place. Finally one last hope came his way but at the same time a nightmare.

'He's at the festival.

You have ten minutes until you never see him again.'

He stepped on the gas prattle and soon the only thing that was in his mind was 'I need to save him from that monster.'

Ten minutes had already passed and he rushed out of the car in a panic, trying to find Xiumin but it was too late.

A gun sound was heard and Luhan just knew it was Xiumin.

Everything started to blur and he became aware of his senses looking down. His hands seemed shaky and for a moment his vision turn black but it was quickly replaced by red, white and blue flashing lights.

The sound of the ambulance was the only thing he could hear besides his racing heartbeat. His knees felt week and in a matter of seconds his knees gave up on him. He slowly went down. He hadn't even realize that he had fallen over a steel sign that showed where the bathrooms were. His body collapsed with it, the steel making contact with his skin. Red blood oozed out of his like a fire being spread and soon all he could do was hopelessly look up at the direction of the ambulance not too far away.

He collapsed but he saw a shadow in the distance running up to him. He didn't care at this point. Even if it was his brother or Xiumin it didn't matter. He just wants to know it wasn't his fault that another person might die because of him.

A few hours later

Luhan's pov:

Life sucks and I have always known it... I just pretended that it is not a dark place like everyone else but sometimes I can't seem to even control that. If I could just go back in time and do one things.. I would.. I would put my life on the line for it.. But I can't .. I can't and that's what I hate most.. I had chance to save Xiumin and that's all the matters. No matter. The first thing is Xiumin. I guess it's time to confront my fears that I thought wouldn't come back.

I woke up to sunlight shining on my face as well as illuminating the whole room. Everything seemed so clear but my body hurt from even one tiny movement but for a seconds everything seemed calm as if the world was at peace and so was I. It didn't last long. Once I turned guilt started to wash all over me. Xiumin is lying in the white bed with monitors all over his body. His body looked bruised maybe from when he fell. If he fell but that must've been the most realistic case. His leg was handing a few inches above his bed wrapped around a cast. Even looking at his sleeping face hurt. Even if he wasn't wake I could see that he was in pain.

His heart monitor was slowly beeping. I am afraid that one day Xiumin's beautiful soul won't be by my side. When he smiles he makes the room feel bright. Everything about him is special. I was just to blind to see his beauty. Now I have realized it in one of the worse times.

His eyes started to flutter open and I instantly lay back in the bed without a sound and close my eyes. I didn't want to confront him now. I don't want to see him now. I am to afraid that he will vanish if I woke up and he saw me. I'm such a terrible person.

A shifting sound of the hospital in our hospital echoes against the walls and as much as I wanted to open my eyes and look at his face I couldn't bring it in me. It was my fault that he is in here. His soothing voice rang along the wall and make its way to my ears. "Luhan.. Wake up.. You have been like this for two days already." he signed and then I heard sheets moving. "The doctor said that it will take more time for you to wake up sense you lost so much blood but wake up.. I want to hear your voice telling me that everything is going to be okay even if I know it's not." I heard feet going against the floor and soon the creaking sound of the door was heard.
