No one's POV:

She laid there motionless in the hospital bed with machines hooked up to her and cuts and bruises all over her body. She had a tube going down her throat to help her breathe because couldn't on her own. She has a cast on her left leg due to the car smashing into it and a couple broken ribs.

He sat there lifeless next to her hospital bed blaming himself for this whole situation. It's been a week and he hasn't went home to shower he hasn't eaten he won't talk to anyone not even his supporters. Nick Rudan Edwin and Timmy let them know what's going on each day and they completely understand why he's keeping to himself but they don't know about Brooke.

The doctor came in for what felt like the 100th time and checked everything to make sure it was good and walked out without saying a word to him.

'Why would I do something like that to Lashea?'

He thought to himself. He wondered if she'd ever forgive him if or when she wakes up. He wondered if they'd live happily ever after like they planned on doing. He wondered if she would wake up and just forget about everything including him.

He got up for the first time in a long time and went into the bathroom. His mom had dropped him off some clothes just incase he came to his senses and took a shower and that's exactly what he did.

He striped out of his week old clothes and got into the hospital shower. He let the hot water beam onto his body and relaxed.

Then he was back.

Lashea's in a coma because of you.

It's all you're fault.

She'll never love you again.

She's gonna die and her last memory of you was you and Brooke fucking.

He started to bawl his eyes out.

You know you should have just listened to me when I told you to kill yourself last time. You're so pathetic.

"Shut up!" He screamed holding his head and pulling on his hair. He couldn't stop it now. The voice was back and there was nothing he could do about it.

He heard someone banging on the bathroom door so he turned the water off and rapped a towel around his waist.

"Sir are you okay? I heard screaming." A nurse asked looking terrified.

"I'm fine." He replied. She nodded her head then walked away. He closed the door and slid down it.

You know Lashea hated Brooke and you still slept with her! Just kill yourself! You have no one that loves you anymore.

He just shook his head trying to get him to go away but it wasn't working.

Zachary. I'm not leaving. This time I'm here to stay.

He got up off the floor and put in the clothes his mom brought then walked back into Lashea's room. He pulled up a stair next to her and grabbed her hand.

"Hey Lashea. I know you probably can't hear me but it's worth a shot. Look babygirl I love you so much. I never stopped and I will never stop. "

Lies. Lies. Lies. Stop lying to this poor girl Zachary! You don't love her. If you did you wouldn't have slept with Brooke.

"But I do love her that's the thing. I only slept with Brooke because Brooke showed me pictures of Lashea hugging and kissing this guy at the park and I was super angry because you cheated on me once before and I forgave you because it was just a stupid little kiss that lasted maybe 5 seconds. But when I saw you did it again anger built up inside of me and one thing led to another and I slept with Brooke. Baby I'm really sorry." He then started crying and put his head down on their hands.
