Unbelievable(Benny Rodriguez Love Story)

The Accident

Aqua

I packed my little bag as I slowly let tears roll down my cheeks. Every single feeling I've felt in the past two years were crumbling down on me. I felt pain, sorrow, anger, hate, happiness, peace, chaos. I couldn't handle with it all rushing in. After I finished packing I threw my blue bag over my shoulder and climbed down the side of my house. Once I got on the ground, I could have sworn that I saw someone staring at me through the window of Benny's house. Shaking off the feeling, I continued to walk and suddenly everything happened so fast. A car was speeding towards me as I started to cross the street, and then it hit me, sending me over the roof and roughly ten feet into the air. Once I hit the ground I heard a sickening crack and soon after I was knocked unconscious. The last thought on my mind was I hope Benny doesn't see me...

Benny

I looked out my window to see Aqua climbing down the side of her house. It was the same way that I used to sneak into her room just to talk to her. I miss those nights where we would stay up all night, not caring if we had school the next day. Then suddenly I was told that she liked Philips making me so angry and jealous, because I've had this huge crush on her since I could remember honestly. I looked away once she looked at my window. I regret doing everything I have this past two years. All the mean things I've done, everything that I said. She may not know it but she meant the world to me but I screwed up big time. I heard tires squealing and I quickly run outside when I hear a loud thud. All the porch lights turn on and people start coming out and I see a girl laying one the ground. My heart stops cold when I see the blue bag laying a couple of feet from the body.

"CALL 9-1-1!!!" I scream as I run to her, kneeling next to her.

I lift her head slightly to see a huge gash going down her face and her right ankle was bent oddly. Blood was soaking her white Dodgers jersey that was once mine, so I lifted up the shirt to see her a few of her ribs sticking out of her skin. I heard sirens as I felt my heart breaking. her last words to me was echoing in my head. 'Good bye Benjamin. Have a good life.' I felt a hand goo on my shoulder making me look up. I saw that it was Scotty with a sad look on his face. Then suddenly Alex appears next to me and there was a rapid stream of tears on his cheeks making my heart ache even more. I got up and stumble backwards.

"Benny! Benny man!" I faintly hear someone yell at me. I suddenly feel a slap snapping me out of my trance.

"What the hell Yeah-Yeah!" I yell.

"They are bringing her to the hospital. Are you coming?!" he asks me angrily.

I sigh and nod. I quickly tell my mom and run with the rest of the boys and the girls to the hospital. Once we get there I run up to the front desk to ask for Aqua. The lady looks up at us sadly, making my heart stop and my body freeze.

"I'm sorry dears but shes in surgery right now. It doesn't look like she's going to make it. But you guys can stay in the waiting room and we'll give you updates," the front desk lady said softly with sad eyes.

We went to sit in the waiting room to see Mr and Mrs. Robinson sitting there too with grim looks. I look down guiltily and sit in a chair, putting my head in my hands. I wanted to cry and sob and just break down, but doing that would mean I have no faith that she's going to wake up. I feel a hand go on my back making me peep through my hands to see her step mother rubbing my back.  

"I know you two were close. I know you two are going through some tough times. And I also know that she really liked you and that you like her back," she said softly. The last part really took my whole world in a spinning storm.

I look up at her shocked, "She likes me?! Aquamaria Destiny Hope likes me!!"

"She has for a long time. She always talked to me as to why you were so mean to her. Why she still liked you even though that you hated her guts," she chuckles softly. "But you never hated her. I knew you, I knew you were up in her room when you guys were fourteen. I figured out that the day you became mean to her, was the day she spent a lot of time with Philip."

"I was told that she liked Philip and I guess it hurt me. It was the say I was going to ask her on a date," I mumble. "It's all so stupid now. I couldn't go back because I thought that she was going to question why I got so mad. I thought she didn't like me back so I decided against it. But now it seems so stupid. I should of tried winning her over. I should have tried harder."

"Right now we can't dwell on the past. We have to hope, to have faith that she'll make it out of surgery alive," she says.

I nod and sit there with fear chewing at my insides. Suddenly a doctor walks in asking for the family of Aqua. The sandlot boys, the girls, Mr and Mrs Robinson and I all stand up waiting to hear the dreaded news that he had to tell us. My eyes were stinging, my breath was ridged and my palms were sweaty. He looks at us and nods, looking back at the clipboard.

"Miss. Ruth-Robinson is out of surgery and in I.C.U recovering. She has four broken ribs, a broken right angle, a severe concussion and some internal bleeding which we fixed. But with the severe concussion and the fact that she was unconscious when she was brought in, shes in a coma and we aren't sure if she'll wake up," he says to us.

'We aren't sure she'll wake up.'
